Best case scenario (optimistic but also kinda realistic-not-asking-too-much-please ?) : - Battletomes roadmap : Fyreslayer, Idoneth Deepkin, Nighthaunt + 1 new model (the rumor engine / New year video "Boat" ? or a Monster type ?). - Video teaser : Sylvaneth vs Skaven Eshin boxed set We are a bit early in the edition for something like BR I guess... But a stand alone expansion like Wrath of the Everchosen / Forbidden power could be very nice, alongside the aforementioned Battletome roadmap As much as I would love to see CC expansions, Warcry or Underworld, Warhammer Quest isn't on the Preview list, only AOS for the "fantasy" side of things, so... 😛

Regarding game systems, I guess 2022 will get two Skaven Eshin releases, then. Because the WHU Harrowdeep "schedule leak" stated Eshin, and our rumor prophet said in here, regarding AOS and new Skaven models, to expected "something shadowy", IIRC. That's two different leakers and subject matters, so hopefully they are not originating from the same release (only AOS or only WHU) !

Let the Hype rise up ! I'm sure the first half of 2022 will have its share of Battletomes releases (at least Nighthaunt, given the rumor engines and the "age" of the existing tome, and probably Fyreslayers and Idoneth following Fury of the Deep, so that still make 3). What I am the most excited about is the new season of Warhammer Underworld (Human Priests / Witch Hunters ; Shadow Aelves ; Shadow Skaven, Frankenstein-esque Necromancers and Zombies according to the reliable leak from this very thread) annnnd Cursed city expansions Bring It On ! Oh and the potential Warcry 2nd Edition. I remember cleary a 4chan leak that was FOR ONCE accurate ; they told us about Darkoath vs Spider Cultists (not Spiderfangs) in Red Harvest and about a potential new edition of Warcry - Red Harvest being the Pariah Nexus boxed set of Kill Team before its reboot...

Do you have a link please ? I checked DakkaDakka but didn't see any thread about 40k Chaos. Also asking because the initial rumor (which was proven true up to now) mentioned new Chaos Daemons, i.e. potential new models for AOS too :')

Sorry if already posted or forbidden knowledge, but here are the new Ossiarch Bonereapers rules, from the last WD's Tome Celestial : https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/5965 From Bob at War of Sigmar

The last two Rumor Engines are clearly the DoK/Malerion Aelfs "whip" and the new Chaos Knight "mechanical tentacles", exactly as seen in the New Year teasers video...

This artwork is a combination. It's the End Times artwork for Joseph Bugman (because the pub inside Warhammer World I guess), probably by Kevin Chin, and the beasties are by Nuala Kindrade (the map maker).

oops, double post.

Hello, please report to the nearest Gnarlmaw to receive a ... Christmas Gift :^) Joke aside, it has never been confirmed it wasn't Nurgle ? The three fingers still point to Nurgling, the paint strokes apparently imply a smaller size than a Ghoul hand (fitting a Nurgling), and the "bone flute" thingy is already present on another Nurgle miniature, the Plaguebearer musician. Also, a new Nurgle Daemon model can either come in a Boxed Set like Wrath and Rapture (Khorne vs Slaanesh first time, so Tzeentch vs Nurgle this time ?) or with the new Daemon Codex for 40k 9th. Epidemius and Herald On Palanquin - which contains lots of Nurgling - being one of the few Nurgle Daemon kit that need a plastic resculpt. (Yes, I may be a little too parochial here).

Well, yeah could be. Or they could occupy more than one space (with some new rules, like the Gargant in WHU ? I don't play that game...). At least the Ambull, Zoat and Guardian drones in BSF had the biggest bases of the BSF range and still fitted in the basic space of the game tiles...

On the Undead side, the Vyrkos dynasty dudes (Kritza, Belladamma and Annika) may very well end up in expansions set. Radukar the Beast sure is, going by the WarCom article. I'd like to see more Undead Minions too. For the Adventurers, it's open to speculation.

Well if THAT isn't a late gift of Grandfather Nurgle ! So we kind of know at least one of the expansions (the one surely including Radukar the Beast), but I absolutely want to see new Adventurers like those in BSF : Escalation !

@silverstu @KingBrodd thank you for your kind words, it's good to be back to the Mortal plane spreading some new plagues. And I have to say, I'm mostly excited about the new Maggotkin book. The updated Sorcerer is very "nice" (even if I still want plastic Nurgle Herald on Palanquin / Epidemius and Pestigors. For the former there are hope for the 40k daemon book I guess). And Pierre Mortel's "Neverchosen" is my current favorite in terms of AOS comics. Also, the Warhipster on YouTube posted some new Nurgle Deamons painting tutorials in his Contrast+ method, which gave me strength to get back at it : Yes, and they are getting ALL the Monday reveals - that's ENOUGH Grungni, Malerion and Hashut factions need some teasing. We should get a teaser article or video around Christmas anyway, after the RE run. Hope to see at least the same as 40k 9th ed. with parts of Heroes for future Battletomes...

Long time no see, TGA I SWEAR I read a rumor* a few days ago (here ?) saying the next dual boxed set for AOS would be Idoneth vs Fyreslayxers (that much we already heard), with one new Hero each side : an Idoneth Lady with the two swords in the back like the recent RE, and a new Fyrelsayers Hero with some kind of magmapike. ... That would fit today's RE ... P.-S. ; I'm sad we don't have more Chorf rumors, but at least the Warcry Red Harvest set indeed had new Chaos scenery made by those Hashut-worshipping duardin *EDIT : yep, a rumor passed on by @Indecisive on page 3113. It indeed seems plausible...

No, the Iron Golem capital is in Chamon. The narrator clearly speaks about the Eightpoints and being under the Varanspire. Where we know chaos dwarfs have forges. So forge devices appearing in the trailer + my list of hints =... Well, just that Chaos Dwarfs may be part of the set (the other sides being spider things). But of course it's just interpretation from a meager teaser.

Well I'd love to see those ! But people (including me) may think of Chaos Dwarfs because : they exist in Warcry already. they are mentioned in the existing lore ; notably they have bases and forges around the Varanspire - attacked by Katakros during Wrath of the Everchosen - and under the crust of the Eightpoints. the lava pumping machines from the trailer looks very Chaos-dwary (to me at least). (Spider) Grots (if any) and (Chaos) Dwarfs / Duardin are traditional ennemies. they get increasingly mentioned in the new lore too (Warclans tome).

Well, speculation, the source being the trailer. It really looks like modular terrain, and it is standing out, like the Luminor Shrine was in the Teclis trailer.

Well well disappointing BUT at least there are apparently new scenery coming with that Red Harvest thing ; those kind of lava pumping devices that are apparently modular... for the factions I can't see Varanguard on foot and Spiderfangs grots, but maybe. I'm leaning for chaos mutants worshipping spiders vs furnace kings Chaos Dwarfs.

It's just an artwork from the new article, it is not on the boxe itself as far as I can see. Maybe it's from a wider picture inside the new rulebook ? In the same artwork (in the right corner) a kind of Zombie arm sprouting from the ground... So a new SBGL warband with Necromancer and Zombies ?

Very nice, thank you ! So that means we'll see Necromunda, Warcry and 40k (as I think the toys figures aren't GenCon labelled).

Do we know the GenCon planning regarding GW seminars there ? When is the next show ? Hopefully Warcry today and Necromunda tomorrow.

We'll know quite soon I guess, as there is an S2D update in the next White Dwarf, and Bob from War Of Sigmar implied that the October Chaos Battletome would be Beast Of Chaos. And yet I still hope it's Nurgle.... (Either that or it will get FAQed when the SCE tome is released OR the Beasts of Chaos faction becomes - against all lore and logic - Destruction ). I'm sure that's the new Warpsmith. Exciting times ahead anyway

Another one ? Well, maybe as in intro to a new unit then, that could be interesting ! I's hard to see but the rim of the base doesn't appears to be black like the recent underworld warbands, so... Maybe a White Dwarf or event exclusive Hero for KruleboyZ ?

Everything here looks very plausible... Except the date (as early as 2022 ?) and the "core game" nature. But if by core game they mean things like LOTR or HH (i.e. huge battle systems handled by FW/GW, but aren't Specialist Games per se like BB or Necromunda), then okay. But as you say, a concurrent in terms of "flagshipness" and ressources, like AOS and 40k ? nah. EDIT : If the box is Kislev vs DAEMONS OF CHAOS .... .... I will be the happiest man on earth. Really.

They are clearly smaller and leaner than the current Star drakes, so no they aren't enormous. For the big boss of their races (Star drakes are only cousin I know), that's ridiculously small...
