A lot of rule teases there

GW was comparing it to 30k all the time. Seriously, I've seen so many people surprised by a lot of things that they could be aware of if only they've read the articles.

"Ring out the year", maybe they will post it on 0:00 GMT?

Someone got a TOW coin in GW shop

*cough* Nuln *cough*

Me for example

I don't expect remakes of non-hero models. So far the only released new plastic minis are heroes on flying monsters and new units (Foot Knights). So for example I can see new plastic Wyvern for Orcs, but no remade Boyz. If the Wyvern is big enough, that might be the only new kit they get (like TK).

Expecting big updates to all factions for each edition is ridiculous. GW has more games than AoS and they also need their updates. And there are more important things to update than Idoneth (Skaven anyone?).

No, they did not. That means if these ones have the core book, they are not like splash boxes, aren't they?

Those boxes are similar to 30k box, which is still available

Absolutely untrue. Beastmen and Skaven used 7th ed books till the end of the 8th ed.

absolutely too early

Duke of L'Anguille is literally named "Oriel De La Mer" - "window with the view of the sea"

They can have both

Some cities and landmarks also have lore! This is from the Pale Sisters mountains' tab: Pale Sisters Named for their year-round snow capped peaks, the Pale Sisters are currently the domain of Warboss Spinecracker and his massive Waaagh!. From his alpine base, the fiendish Warboss has launched raids into Couronne, Gisoreux and Montfort. EDIT: Couronne Though King Louen Orc-Slayer holds court in Bastonne, Couronne is the traditional seat of the King of Bretonnia. Duchess Chambray D’Axauex, the Lioness of Couronne, rules the historic fortress and prides herself on the martial prowess of her subjects. Couronne is ruled by a Duchess! Artois too!

Besides, rulers and principalities of Border Princes change very often and this is ~250 years before old WFB

I think new Beastmen and Orc&Goblin factions got added

I am not a fan of ScE redesign and quite nostalgic for OG Liberators. New ScE do not look better than old ones. Creativity doesn't have to mean "completely different aesthetic" (this last complaint is more about CoS).

I'm the other way around. I prefer when updates to armies stick to old aesthetic just with improved sculpts, not when they change completely. *looks angrily at the new CoS...*

Yes, 30k

Well, I would definitely prefer old Ardboyz to modern ones. They have more Old World-y feel.

Only the Trebuchet. Rest of old metal minis will stay metal.

Honestly, after learning that allies and mercenaries are a thing I have a big dillema. Should I go for: - L'Anguille Brets with two allies - High Elves and Exiled Knights (I want that Border Princes Bombard) or - Empire army of Nuln with Dwarf and Tilean allies and Wissenland mercenaries (I know, should be the other way around. But I want a Tilean hero and Tilean unit and that is possible only with allies not mercs)?

I sense bias. BTW, speaking of WHQ - we have new holiday scenario for it! https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/12/20/building-the-wildest-festive-battle-report-adventure-yet/

I've bought all the expansions
