I hope that "wh40k alike combat" is false, if I like 40k system I could be playing 40k; same with rolling for turn, it makes the games more random (good thing for me personally) Aren't battleplans something like scenarios? About The Tainted Heart... love in the Mortal Realms? yes please

It all depends on the group in question, in my case I play with a friendly/narrative group so armies that arent that competitive can still shine a little (we usually dont use competitive things and dont abuse of some rules becouse we just want to have a fun time ((I know fun can be going all on competitive for other people)) ) or you can see silly things like an open play game with 2 armies of 8k points (man, that was funny, Nagash vs 3 Dread Saurian) In tournaments it's totally other way tho, the thing is how GW manage it, you can try to update current ranges to make them competitive while you keep making new ones (again, the only problem with this is that some models and armies from the Old World dont fit really well with the high-fantasy of AoS even when AoS's realm has no limit) or you can make new ones and maintain the old ones just for fun untill no one buys them and you can fase them out in silence.

With the thing about Seraphon being able to live on the Mortal Realms after being summoned by the Slann and even create cities we have room for new takes on the army, I Hope GW take it and make more lizards becouse I love dragons and lizards a lot (Ey GW, now that Dracothion helps the Slann why not an aztec-cosmic lizard dragon? I could buy 20 of them) On the other hand, I know armies get emotional conection with the players since they paint them and all but I see the "lets make new minis that fit in our new setting" as a logical step, cosmic-magic dragon-lizards fit better than just aztec lizardman riding dinosaurs even when I love both ideas a lot. Of course you could do updates to existing armies with some new models and a battletome, but there are some armies that feel a little poor on the MR Setting (I mean, it's have been thousands of years after the End Times and the humans still fight like in the Old World times? not even a little of innovation having 8 worlds and a lot of years?) and it happens on all the GAs, not only Order.

4 is Stormcast but now I'm not sure if Lord Commander or Stormage. 10 could be Idoneth (some seahorse we have yet to see?) too. Isn't 12 from the shadespire's orks or the knight of shrouds?

I'm with you on the Black Coach but could be some terrain or even from 40k high gothic stuff. About Nighthaunt & Stormcast...I don't know why but the cover with the Stormmages makes me think about Ornstein from Dark Souls.

The "boss" have a fur cloak. They are cleary orruk vanguard hunters. Seriously now, I was planning on buying Shadespire just for the Stormcast, now I see myself buying all the bands.
