As a Seraphon and Tzeentch player, I definitely feel loved in this GHB. It feels good to get some of the big pain points resolved. Some of the changes are quite funny - Witch Hunter being moved to 40 points is silly while the rest of Devoted is still overcosted. Oh well - it's caused me to look at the robed maniacs again haha

I like this idea - units like Vulkite Berzserkers, Khorne, or Flagellants should fight harder when their unit sizes are depleted. So these units are even more dangerous once their fervour has spilt out onto the battlefield.

Good Spot - I hadn't noticed that. I think this could probably mean a couple things: - More units will move into the Compendium (probably Gitmob, Greenskins, and maybe some loose units that don't fit in other lists) - Probably some nerfs for stuff like TK....

Worth noting, I've seen the Canadian store often get these details first. Like when Slaanesh models went last chance, the Canadian store was the first one to show them.

So Idoneth are officially Fantasy Gungans. You heard it here first folks!

Like many things Stormcast can also excel at being nearly impossible to knock off an objective. Baseline units are 4+ Save, 2 Wounds, often with battleshock resistance and shields giving rerolling saves of 1.

Seraphon scale patterns vary pretty widely throughout the army so it's tough to point to a specific model and say, "it looks like this." Looking at my range, the scale patterns are totally different between Cold Ones, Carnos, Batilladons, Saurus, Skinks, Salamanders. Just looking at the size of a scale and considering the level of detail on the picture, I don't think this is as large as a behemoth. Three scales to reach the top ridge would be far too few for something quite large for example. I'd suspect this is a Juggernaut sized creature at biggest. In my mind, if it is Seraphon it could be three things: - New Cold One Model: This would mean making the creatures more closely resemble mini-carnosaurs. - Kroxigors: Total Warhammer has them looking a lot more Crocodilian, and this reminds me of a way more leaning forward posture. Top ridge seems too short though. - New Species: We could always see a new creature type come out for Seraphon too. If it's a model to accompany a dual box, having a hero on a mid-sized mount could make a lot of sense. I don't see it being a Salamander/Razordon because of the scaling. Looks far too sturdy to be any sort of Skink. And it doesn't match the scales on the new-gen Saurus like the Oldblood.

So - if Nagash is looking for an old ally, I wonder if that is going to narrow down the pool to one of his remaining loyal Mortarchs from the End times. And considering Luthor Harkon is the lauded Mortarch of the Abyss - and we're getting teases about the thing lying in the bottom of the lake next to that city.... I mean that seems pretty straight-forward, right?

Yeah, I wonder if they would almost have a compendium of "eligible" models that you can hire out.

Huh that's an interesting rumour. I would be surprised if they do an overhaul though it'd be very welcome. Saurus are old but they aren't as say Free Peoples, Skaven. They hold up a lot better too. Well, if it's a few years out I hope for at least a quick update book + spell release.

I have always had a place in my heart for Kislev. I know we'll never get them back l, but some inspiration would be a ton of fun

Oooh - this guy looks a lot like a Wild Rider: I wonder if he is some kind of Wanderer-Sylvaneth middle stage... I guess this could imply Wanderers are getting merged into Sylvaneth?

I actually have a theory about this whole Aelf thing: the Light and Shadow Aelves are gonig to be the same army. Think about it - Hysh and Ulgu are thematically opposite so the army ability powers up a certain alignment of the army based on the tide of the Sun and Moon. It focuses on balance and harmony between the sides and how they challenge each other - OR - build a list that focuses on a specific side and embrace the Light/Dark. Meanwhile there's a neutral alignment that is in the twilight between both sides. Light Aelfs: Eldritch Council, Order Draconis, Phoenix Temple Dark Aelfs: Darkling Covens, Order Serpentis, Shadowblades Twilight/Neutral Aelfs: Wanderers, Scourge Privateers, Swifthawk Agents Light gets a new dual build kit with Angelic Aelfs in two types and Teclic & Tyron kit. Dark gets a new dual build kit with Shadow Aelfs in two types along with Malerion. Twilight Elf get a new Wanderers behemoth. Revamp the entire Aelf line in only 5 kits ❤️

So - anyone got any rumours? I got a minor one: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-CA/Chaos-Lord-of-Slaanesh Chaos Lord of Slaanesh went No Longer Available on the Canadian store - now I know a few of you will jump on this and say it's UK based so that's the only one that matters, but I've seen the CDN store actually predate some UK stuff when it comes to phase outs. Make of this what you will.

Can I do a shameless self-promote? Sure I can. www.goquestward.com We do actual play DND-style podcasts. It's Critical Role with Warhammer.

I think the free rules debate can lay fallow for another day --- I shamelessly asked for new Reanimant Tomb Kings style army! Would love to see them reimagined as Shadeglass contructs. Also asked for some Alpha Legion specific content and Dropper Bottles!

Regarding the Slaaneshi Chaos Lord, Tzeentch still has the ancient fatemaster model which is just a Chaos Lord of Tzeentch on disc, so it's not wild to assume he could stay.

I would love this! Something like an order version of the K'daai Fireborn would be amazing to see

I'm curious if we'll see Seraphon releasing as part of a dual box... Hmm - there's lots of potential matchups that would be fun for Seraphon - the main one I was expecting was of course Skaven v. Seraphon... But seeing them going up against the new Khorne release would actually make a lot of sense. If not that - a monster hunt with Beastclaw vs. Seraphon would be a ton of crunchy fun. I think a new Slann is too big of a deal for the duo-box. But I could see Plastic Kroxzigors or Hunting Packs making their way in.

Plastic Slann/Kroak and Hunting Packs are the most dire. It's almost $1 per point in CAD to field an ancient derpy looking Salamander. So many people in the community are fed up and kitbashing their own because of it. For the alternative builds in the Seraphon kits. I think this is actually pretty possible. Here's a few: - Skink Master of Skies: Skink HQ built from Terradon kit. - Ark of Sotek: Separated warscroll of Bastilladon to better tune abilities and points. - Skink Oracle: Skink rider from Troglodon that could easily be on footed like the oldblood. - Stegadon with Skystreak Bow/Flamethrower seperation. Those are the few I can see as being possible. Honestly, outside of the HQ Master of Skies and split Bastilladons, not much else is super likely.

In regards to Dispossessed being Squatted, I don't think we'll see that. They have GHB rules and have been mostly reboxed unlike Gitmob and Greenskins, the only Factions within AoS that are actually being squatted. It would be very odd to see the Dispossessed go away when they are used in many combined boxed as well. If anything is at risk of squatting now it's some legacy units inside Skaven (giant rats, rat swarms), and probably a few of the Self subfactions.
