I really like the battleforces this year, I do wish Destruction got one but I understand that they just got a bunch of new stuff and hopefully we didn't get an Ogor one or Bonesplitterz one because they're getting new models. If I didn't go crazy and had bought 8 boxes of Kroxigor and two of the army boxes, I would snap pick up the Seraphon force.

Last I saw him in the lore was the book "Hammers of Sigmar: First Forged". Vandus in that novel is a shadow of his former self, basically hid in the basement of Hammerhall Aqshy because his mind is mostly gone. Vandus only snaps out of this state when Khorgus Kul (sp) was mentioned to him. Vandus then is able to go into battle fully aware of himself and able to fight. Likely after the story is finished Vandus would slip back into his hazy, lost mental state. So there is definitely a reason for Ionus to check in on him and hopefully provide some remedy.

Hoping you're right too. Would love both of those things soo much.

Catching up. Great to see an article with Noah Van Nguyen, I just finished listening to "Yndrasta, Celestial Spear" and it is probably the best depiction of how alien Stormcast are when interacting with mortals. Noah is phenomenal at making the Mortal Realms feel lived in with exploring different cultures and peoples with each book. He does not stick to only writing about things that have models or can be models, he is just a good world builder. I know Disciples of Tzeentch was spoiled before but it was really great to see them finally confirm it today. I love some of the minor changes they did to the models. Like the screamers having wider fins like mantas/rays and then also a Tzaangor having that gold helmet is rad. Warcry/Underworlds scrolls - as expected for me none of them seem to stand out or will shake how the faction is played. I appreciate GW or design team streamlining the warscrolls as compared to where they've been in the past. I'm hoping I'll get to see those units on the table because they're all gorgeous (minus the primeapes in the Kruleboyz band.. they scare me).

that is correct, another top notch marketing plan by GW.

It is probably the Soulscryer from the Blacktalons right?

What do we expect to be revealed today? I think the Cities of Sigmar models are a good candidate. We don't have much left outside of the stuff that was revealed this weekend right?

Disciples of Tzeentch right? I can't remember the source of the leak but it wasn't anything more than just saying the faction name right?

I'm curious if this is also why the 4th faction hasn't been shown. Lady of Ruin and marauders arriving and being in the new game would make a lot of sense.

Is it too early to not be chastised for hoping for new Seraphon models in Dawnbringers? There's a Constellation from the AoS: Soulbound RPG called Shepard's Path which are Starborne that focus on defensive structures. I would love to see either a new hero, temple guard or most wishfully a new monster.

I have a gut feeling that we will see another Bonereaper Underworlds band and be equally amazed at the models and disappointed in their rules.

Ughh, I have always wanted an insect faction in AoS/fantasy. If it's not Silent People, I am glad that Sylvaneth is moving towards this aesthetic/trope/whatever you call it.

Is that official art for Heldenarr Fall? Or is it a fan drawing? Looks very close to the cover art and I would gladly buy this model even though I don't play chaos.

Silent People obviously It's probably the Kurnothi sub-faction symbol.

That would be nice. I feel like a competent second in command always makes the bad guy all that more menacing. Plus, new AoS characters always give a lot of opportunity of fleshing out the realms lore wise.

Hopefully the spear is for Valkia. I would love to see an "upsized" model like what happened with Sigvald, make her more Daemon Prince-ly in size. However I'm pretty excited because whoever it is for it's almost certainly for Age of Sigmar. No tech doo-dads on the haft of the spear.

I wonder if we're gonna just see a couple of characters? It would make sense to have a lighter book release around the same time as the FEC relaunch. Like Valkia and Callis & Toll for this book with respective armies of renown?

Here's hoping for FEC reveals and Dawnbringers 3. Anyone have a guess as to whats going in Dawnbringers 3? I feel like the most set up in terms of lore would be Sylvaneth, Cities, Nurgle and Khorne. However not sure if Cities would get any new models that quick. Hard to tell.

Really interesting that they showed off the less than stellar looking raven legs. This feels like part of an Underworlds base to me.

Getting hyped for the T'au release. Maybe that blade is an updated Aun'shi? Or maybe named Kroot character.

Laugh react could mean a lot of things. Whitefang laugh reacted to my comment of the OG line of Stormcast. Might be so right it's funny or so wrong it's hilarious.

Oh hey. Just a thought, could the line of models getting cut be the original Stormcast? Would make sense if they're getting a refresh in 4th?

So if Bonesplitterz or Spiderfang are on the chopping block it would make sense. Looks like Ironjawz are moving into some Savage Orruk territory with the new Ragerz. In the lore it looks like Bonesplitterz are very rarely represented in major events and novels. (Correct me on that if I'm wrong) Spiderfang are a little more unique and are currently the only source of "Arachnid" faction. Either way it's always bittersweet to see a (sub)faction go away. There are always people that identify with that faction and love their models. However that choice is usually made to work on something new

Wouldn't Kurnoth fit for Order? I mean. I would love a big centerpiece "Magma Matron" for Fyreslayers but the rumors seem to point towards Kurnoth.
