OMG awesome ! But no idea for me, anyone ?? EDIT : the guy on Warfo said it was the AOS equivalent of the Moon Base Klasius kit, so something like this : https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Realm-Of-Battle-Moon-Base-Klaisus-2017

The model is brilliant, but what I want to see is the fluff about Slaanesh and Ulgu. It's gonna be awesome <3

Awesome, more news. I also read there the Mistwaiver Saih will be in the Sea Aelves release !

I really love how lots of AOS army releases seems to be based - design wise - on End Times and more importantly on Storm Of Chaos themes ( Grimgor's Boyz : Ironjawz, etc.). There is ofc a few 100% "for AOS" design, like Stormcast and Kharadron, but mainly you can follow the concept of each army through the different Warhammer era. That's great.

The future is bright ! The fluff (and rules) in Malign Portents and Legions of Nagash are excellent - now seeing the 2 "close together" Aelves releases rumor being true makes me even more excited for AOS in 2018 ! I'm just a bit disappointed we apparently won't be getting a Malerion model with the Sea Aelves release... Anyway I'm really looking forward to see if the Mistweaver Saih ends up in the Sea Aelves faction and the Tenebrael Shard in the Daughter Of Khaine Battletome

I hope so ! a new Chaos (or SCE..) versus DEATH starter set would be an amazing idea, GW....

So, the price : From our friend @zamerion on Dakkadakka (coming from Warfo aka French forum I guess) : - The 4 Harbingers de 25€ (each) - Dice et Combat Gauge "Malign Portents" (15€ and 8€) - Warscryer (the Manse) for 85€ - Malign Portents Campaign Book 20€ - so great ! - Battletome Legions of Nagash (25€) And : - 2 new Start Collecting the 24th Feb; : Kharadrons and Stormcasts Vanguard

I'm happy we got new war scrolls for Death (i.e. updates ones), it means they really put some thoughts in re-thinking how the whole army works. I am sure we'll have new models this summer / next half of 2018 ! The new FAQ system (Ala 40k) is really nice ; the fact they didn't said when the GHB will be annually release makes me think the GHB won't come out this summer (because, maybe.... a new edition / starter set is coming ?) The Harbingers are quiiiite nice. Just sad the Warqueen is "Slave to Darkness" and not "Darkoath" - knowing the Chieftain is in the same situation...

Well, the Warlocks are the males intendent of the Daughters of Khaine, so... And IMO the Tenebrael Shard fits better both the assassin theme associated with Khaine (cf. Shadowblade) and the look of the witch aelves...

I just finished the story And still, IMO it's better to live in a city - even infiltrated by Arcanites cults - than to survive in a wasteland full of cannibals Bloodreavers !

Well Thanks to Sigmar they are now avenged, their killers being destroyed. And thanks to Sigmar there is at least streets to be unemployed in ! Even for the reclaimed the situation is way better now than under the dominion of chaos !

I really love how complex the AOS setting has become in 2.5 years ! And joke aside, I agree with you shinros. (Your quote) is a side of Sigmar's character that IMO is a reference to the Emperor in 40k. One thing tho, even if I understand normal people don't have our view and understanding of the story, when you worship an immortal like this you have to keep faith. That's what the Stormhosts like the Hallowed Knight are made up with, people keeping the faith.

I know you are a heretic a Nagash worshipper, but even when your empire gets destroyed around you, you don't have to challenge the will of your god... Andy when you see the power of Chaos, and the might of Archaon, you don't have to be a genius to understand Sigmar's move (Sigmar who already lost his home once because of Chaos). I sincerely think the retreat to Azyr was the only good answer to the Everchosen's multi dimensional invasions. Look at how well the others fared. It may have took Archaon three centuries, but Nagash was finally defeated, and Shyish all but conquered. Malerion hid in Ulgu, Alarielle was driven mad, Aqshy was almost entirely destroyed by Khorne, etc.

I just read the extract, it's really cool - if unexpected ! https://www.blacklibrary.com/new-titles/featured/path-to-glory-eshort.html It's nice to see how the Lantic Empire looked like and how people felt about the whole "closing the Gates of Azyr" deal - oh and the Fyrelsaylers Battletome references

Yeah that's a possibility ! As they teased Custrodes-Thousand Sons-Legions Of Nagash together. I'd be fine with that. I just fear that the Knight Of Shrouds won't be in the Battletome...

Good ! As expected, the Thousand Sons Codex comes with the second AC wave. So yeah it's indeed time for some Shadespire AND some Harbingers to show up ! Guess we'll know Thursday at the LVO seminar....

BTW the release schedule we were discussing on page 362 seems now quite invalidated : 1) The data coming from Haechi on Advanced Tau Tactia are still right (at least for the January - February Custodes). 2) The little snippets about Warhammer Underworlds were already known (I guess Bloodbowl and Necromunda too ?). 3) The true Codex release seems to be : everything stated until June, then (see the pic attached) : - August = Space Wolves, and ; - December = Orks. .... It seems that all the non Heachi-coming rumors / non already-known Specialist Games rumors were false. So if the new rumors are right, it means : May : no Space Wolves, so.... no "Boxed Games" ? June : no Orks, so.... no 40k campaign ?

Yeah ! I'd say 3rd or 10th ; next week end is second half Custodes - maybe with Thousand Codex (because no new mini with this one). We'll see with the pre-pre order this evening.

Awesome ! https://lasvegasopen.squarespace.com/blog/2017/12/22/seminars-at-the-lvo-2018 "Thursday, January 25th: Games Workshop Studio Preview 8:00pm. Pete and Andy will deliver a now legendary studio preview, which as always will feature a first look at a range of exciting upcoming releases as well as an opportunity for a Q&A session." Better be some MP news in here !!!

There is more here, for the Warqueen and the Grot : https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/2580/709691.page It's from Twitch.

But Nagash is mad at aelven gods for stealing the souls back from him ! Nagash is mad at everyone these days

Also :

Yeah I can't see anymore coming from the good old Warhammer Forge. Unless they still have some AOS Character Series kits, like the big Khorne Dragon we've seen at Open days.

Given the Regimental Standards about new Tzaangors, I'm sure the Codex TS is around the corner. I think the Harbingers are coming the 3rd or 10th of February.

But not with Malign Portents, i.e. not this year (alas, as I loved Vlad)
