  1. Hehe yes please @LLV ! Also, Teclis is mentioned here because he created the Idoneth Deepkin in Hyish (and speaks in the trailer released at Adepticon) - but he indeed won't be part of this release miniature wise
  2. Well, we'll know soon anyway ! I must say that seeing this army like this is really tempting. Really really really tempting.
  3. Yes, due for this Autumn, this set is yet another hint a of a proper AOS 2.0 this summer, just like last yeah 40k 8th. brought out new 40k tactical objectives ! (Note the new logo on the set but not on the Ghyran one). @Chikout yes I too can't see them in 2018, but 2019 seems entirely possible. I hope we'll also see the Grotbag Scuttlers one day. A end-of-the-year 2018 Slaanesh release could be a good transition between 2018's Malign Portents narrative arc and a 2019 Fate of Slaanesh's new arc (as the Slaanesh release could happen without giving away the God's whereabout, just as we already have Hosts of Slaanesh and 3 sub factions rules without Her/Him). Later in 2019 we'll get Shadowkin and Lightkin aelves. Alas, with the Emperor's Children and Fulrigm rumors out there it will probably be first a 40k-only release as you say. A new Boxed set / boxed game with new buggy etc. Remember the Orkish wheel Rumor engine ?
  4. 2018's gonna be awesome right ? Side note : I would put Orks and Genestealers Cults in the "highly likely" category : so far we only have the 4chan schedule saying Orks in June (schedule already not entirely on track anymore - Faiet reported educated guesses and obvious changes), and no words on GSC. The French rumormongers have said Gorkamorka summer and Orks in December. The scenery bundles are "confirmed" too, pic related, as well as the new Stormcast (see the Shadespire card logo and pointy hat SCE artwork). I agree with @Tonhel we should see another "big" army end part of 2018, probably Slaanesh (but it's maybe only 40k), but the Nighthaunt and SCE release will be bigger than 2-3 kits (because Shadespire and/or Starter set).
  5. From the warscoll, it's complete name is Eidolon of Mathlann, Aspect of the Storm (with the spear and the hook). The other one may be Eidolon of Mathlann, Aspect of the Deep or something like that...
  6. Awesome ! I can't wait to get the little Flesh hound BTW, Season 2 should start around June, because the whole Stormcast vs Nighthaunt business. Oh, and GW posted this picture on FB about the end of Dread Solstice and a war that had just began ... ... Nighthaunt vs Stormcast ? WHAT A COINCIDENCE
  7. Yes that's what the text means. I think all the old Elve gods (inc. Mathlann) are very dead, but unlike Khaine (because of Morathi), their old powers can be drawn upon, given times, rituals and sufficient worship.
  8. A @Gaz Taylor and @Turgol you seem the think that Malign portents will lead to the escape of Slaanesh (because hints in the fluff and rumors on Twitter, right ?) I must say I can't really see that happends : Malign portents will lead to a cataclysm indeed, but that is the completion of Nagash's great work of rebuilding the black PyramidS power syphon using Shysian realmstones*. The Starter set and Souls war novel is apparently Death vs Stormcast centered because of that. Slaanesh inevitable escape is such a big event, needing at least 3 army releases (Hosts of Slaanehs, Shadowkin, Lightkin) - I cannot see it steal the show of Nagash's great work (at least this year, we'll see the transition with the new Fate of Slaanesh narrative arc after MP, in 2019). Of course I may be wrong - I should re-read the Aelves fluff ; with their souls stealing business, they are by all mean linked to Nagash business in this way at least. I can't wait to read about Teclis in the Idoneth Deepkin BT !! *Of course, one of the side effect of the ritual's completion may be Slaanesh's escape. In fact, IMO Slaanesh let himself trapped (fooling Tzeentch, Khorne and the Aelves gods in the process) because he/she/it "liked" that (like Fulgrim style in Horus Heresy).
  9. Yeah, when the Knight of Shrouds came out we thought this RE was from his cloak - it's not the case. Good spot.
  10. The CP/S system for AOS2.0 may just be a generalization of the MP system, but working with the general instead of the Harbingers. I'm sure the changes won't be to drastic.
  11. I've read the exact same thing on French warfo. So kinda trusting that. And surely Rob & Co. still have connexions inside GW
  12. Yeah ... That's why I said I was a bit sad she was under NDA or whatever. That being said, I'm sure she still have info like back in good ol' time. She's just not telling on WoS, only a cryptic hint here and there (just like above about Fulgrim). Also, the Emperor's Children aren't a true faction either yet, just like the World Eater. By releasing EC first, GW can follow with a proper Slaanesh Daemons full release and a "Hosts Of Slaanesh" Battletome (which isn't really possible for Khorne, because Khorne Bloodbound and Blades Of Khorne), so big impact for AOS like Disciples of Tzeentch and Maggotkin. About the sources, there is in fact some very active and reliable sources around here : - French Wargame Studio on YouTube (100% correct so far, since Autumn 2017 IIRC) and other sources on Warhammer forum (you need to speak French though ) those may or may not be linked to Temouloun / Heachi. - Thebiggesthat : right about GUO, Nurgle Beast and Blightlords - now announcing Fulgrim and AOS Keeper on Dakka Dakka for November. - Moonstone, and other good souls on TGA. - Sometimes voices on FB, 4Chan, B&C (like Atia), etc. But I agree that the days of Harry and Sad Panda (RIP), and now Lady Atia and Haechi, seems long gone. Still glad we have WarCom.
  13. Yeah, I hope we get that again for Slaanesh. Note that apparently Nurgle was due Summer 2017 (when Blightwar came out), so more or less 2 months after Death Guard (but then GW got the technical / energy problems in Nottingham we know about). So the "end of the year window" may be a coincidence, but surely the "40k Legion + Daemon Primarch followed closely by AOS Battletome + Greater Daemon release" pattern seems solid. As a Chaos player I cannot wait anyway.
  14. Well, even if 40k news aren't really AOS release schedule rumors, it impacts it, so let's just add that there 2 Xenos release rumored : 1. Gorkamorak summer 2018 (cf. new Buggy wheel Rumor engine). 2. Codex Orks end of the year 2018. It comes from several sources, notably a very reliable French rumormonger. NB : a good part of this summer should be dedicated to AOS 2.0, i.e. New main book, starter set, Nighthaunt, Stormcast, maybe new scenery (Stormkeep WHEN???). And Souls War by Josh Reynolds is out 10th July.
  15. Thebiggesthat on Dakka Dakka said Fulgrim and Keeper of Secrets end of the year 2018, so maybe even sooner ! (This guy was right about GUO, new beast and blight lord)
  16. Right ! I always forgot to check Battle Bunny and B&C instead of War of Sigmar when looking for Lady Atia's posts I miss her full rumors days haha So that'd make, after Nighthaunt and Stormcast Wizard / Artillery this summer, Slaanesh end 2018. Noïce.
  17. And a new monster / hero like the soul-stealing Ghast described here : https://malignportents.com/story/lightning-in-a-bottle/ Maybe P.-S. ; I think what @LLV meant was a new Nighthaunt Battletome, Malignant being only the "race" keyword. Yeah ! I have no inside info of course, it's just (educated?) guesses based on what we already have, that is : - As you rightly said, each Shadespire warband is linked to an existing baseline unit (Liberator, Skeletons Warriors, etc.). So the Wraiths / Dementor must be a new baseline unit (?) for Nighthaunt. - Regarding the 8 existing war bands, 3 are form Starter set units, so the poster boys. But with MP, the new logo, etc. I'm sure the new poster-bad-boy will be Death, hence why Nighthaunt may be as rumored in the new starter set. If indeed we get a new "true" starter set (≠ Forgebane or Blightwar). - That's why I think will get 1. one multi-build Dementor / fleshy arms wraiths kit, 2. one Shadespire warband based on them (as GW released an Easy to build kit form Primaris / Death guard with Dark imperium with different sculpt), and 3. one Dementor / fleshy arms wraiths "push-fit" kit, if indeed the new Starter set comes with a dedicated sculpts (≠ Forgebane or Blightwar).
  18. I also think Lady Atia said Slaanesh before Khorne, but I cannot find where. There is a rumor on Dakka Dakka about the new Keeper Of Secrets (plastic) being due for November (he of course won't be released alone), by the guy that teased the new GUO in summer 2017.
  19. I'm sure pic related will be a new "troops" type for the Nighthaunt army, maybe dual built, one like cairn wraith with "fleshy" army, one hanged Dementor ... We'll probably get a new plastic kit, a Shadespire warband, and maybe a unique unit for the starter set
  20. Yeah ! And each unit are apparently multiple build ; I count 3 eels types, 2 sharks types, and there will be apparently 4 turtles types too... I love them. I totally love them.
  21. Remember how the first WHU core set mirrored the first Starter set in terms of content ? I'm sure the two new WHU war bands (that is, Ghosts and new SCE) will be of the same factions of the two new armies in the new Starter set. GREAT
  22. OKAY OMG - Idoneth Deepkin : awesome. Huge range. Like, really huge. I just need to see the Battletome cover <3 - Spiky death magic sphere and Storm Of Magic second edition : nice and unexpected ! - Death rise : f*ck yeah, new nighthaunt black coach, so as rumored : new Nighthaunt* army + Battletome ! - New Warhammer Underworlds : so good to know, I love those war bands .... AND LOOKING AT THE CARD : - NEW STORMCAST WIZARDS UNIT - NEW NIGHTHAUNT GHOST ---> Starter set CONFIRMED ; and the next Shadespire (or the like) set will apparently have those two new factions.
  23. 100% agree. I litterlay set my clock at 1:30 PM just for that. From the Las Vegas Open they said they would reveal 3 ou 5 big things ? Because there is 40k in the ring too, which means something big too for it, like a new army or a Daemon Primarch.
  24. ??? Nowhere it is said that about the ID. They'll surely fight Plague fleet like Gutrot Spume's one, for example. The Kharadron avec huuuuge hordes of beasts in the sky against them, it's every page of their Battletome. Plus flying daemons, like Tzeentch ones. And the fleet of the GROTbag scuttlers. The Fyreslayers are attacked by fire elemental and skavens, like, every day, and besieged by Bloodbound and such. The lands, seas and skies of the Mortal Reams are wayyyyy less safe than even a Death world of the imperium.
