YEAH ! I saw (on DakkaDakka ?) that PK said on WHTV that there would be new typical-AOS factions (like Kharadron Overlords I guess...) soon. So a Death Release may be ... Not so typical, unlike Cthullu Shadow Aleves ? I don't know and I want both EDIT : I just saw on the MP thread that PK said "no comment" about Aelves, and the the Realms of Light and Shadows will not play a big part in MP, unlike Vandus.

Yeah I think everything listed is "codex only" (no new miniatures). We'll see soon, if T'au and Necron are right. This poster didn't talk about LoN and TS, but then said he didn't know much about February, so it may fit. He doesn't speak of the Malign portents book and Harbingers, but I see this rumor as 40k oriented so that's probably why. I'm REALLY looking forward to Aelfs in April-May, if it's true.

I agree. But it seems that with their production issues, GW have a very ... disturbed release schedule (like why was MP and Death Guard teased sooo long in advances, to then takes ages to get released like the Myphitic Blight-Haulers for DG ? Anyway, GW now wants to releases more infos, but is stretching the thing a little bit ; Seven days of Nurgle, then MP, the WHW Open days, the preview seminar at the LV open end January, then a new MP countdown reveal in February (with some Shadespire), then the AOS open day in March.... Yet it seems that the majority of the big releases is scheduled for this summer and not before....

My hope is that LoN is like the Traitor Legions supplement ; we got it and some months later we got Death Guard, Chaos Space Marines, Chaos Daemons, and now Thousands Sons (yeah that's 40k Chaos but Death could see a little something like this with Shadespire and Malign Portents).

I think you are right about "as likely to come out as before". The GHB 2017 allegiance for Nighthaunt / not for Deathrattle is still IMO an hint of what is to come... (at last it worked for Maggotkin). As I said, I think LoN is really a "Traitor Legions" style book, before we got true factions releases (and NEW MODELS).

Well I'm not sure about that at all... We have a rumor of TWO new Aelves armies for this Spring... But what I could see is : - A Legion of Archaon battletome, with Everchosen, Slaves to Darkness, and possibly new Barbarians Darkoath with characters. - A Children of the Great Horned Rat battletome with all the Skavens clans (maybe Pestilens too as Flesh-eater Courts seems to be in LoN also). - Something like that for Free People, or Duardin or (existing) Aelves-only.

I'm pretty excited. I'm just afraid there won't be new models (bar the Knight of Shrouds) with this Battletome. I can't wait for January 26th-28th and the "very special preview seminar" we'll got there......

Did you people see that ? Apparently : someone predicted rightly (in November) the Deamons release both 40k and AOS in January, and the Adeptus Custodes release in February. That's what he say for the following months : two new Aelves armies in April-May !

Because of the Warqueen' speech : " ... she seen the rise of shadows bearing rusted blades. Of dead men that walk and hunger for heart's blood Rally the tribes! Gather the hosts! The dark waists of Shyish will echo with the war howls of a thousands clans! Follow me into battle my brothers and sisters! Follow me into the Realm of Death!! " (thx @Skarlocin the MP thread). Also, today's RE use the word "cryptic" ! You know, like a Deathrattle in a crypt ! Well okay It's not much. But the Age of hope is not dead yet !

Yeah ! Also the Warqueen speech in the last MP video really makes me think of an expended Deathrattle (and Darkoath) factions .....

Yeah ! (well not tomorrow but Thursday ...) But which Open day ? I hope if we get more news in two days, there will be more reveals this Saturday For Warhammer live, here is the program ; there is an "inside the studio" show at 4pm..... https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/01/02/week-warhammer-live-7/

So thx @RuneBrush we know the AOS Open Day is the 3rd of March. Do you think we'll see anything for AOS / Malign portents (1 day and half left !!) in the New Year Open day this Saturday ? I'm not familiar with this kind of thing so it may only be a small event, with a look at 2017 and nothing else (which is still nice).

That would be the Errant-Questor (WHW exclusive), the Shadespire Liberator-Prime, and Gavriel Sureheart. Perhaps the Lord-Ordinator too.

So if this video is "Episode 1", will it be one episode each day until Thursday when the MP countdown ends ?

Not only Atia ! Pestigors (with a capital "P") are in the Blightwar and Plague Garden fluff, and in the 40k Rulebook "Plague war" stories too. Remember, today's Warhammer Community article said that for 6 more days there will be tease of Nurgle stuff, so what I expect : - A closer look on the models teased. - A look at the Battletome (and perhaps 40k Daemons codex), perhaps some artworks or rules (we'll get wallpapers like today) - Other mini not teased in the video ; mainly Pestigors and a Robtringer sorcerer or Pestigors Shaman / something like this... Any way, so great to be a children of Nurgle those days !

@Dez Thats today Konrad Curze BL story... BTW another "proof" that MP is about Death and Skeleton ; the pic its website use :

Oh yes. That'd be awesome. They just have to release TONS of stuff to get us ready early for this summer, then

But doesn't GW always ever did their world campaign in summer / holiday times ? Malign Portents start in 20 days (even if it can lead to something like this this summer)

THE AGE OF HOPE IS DEAD

Ah yes ! Callis and Toll ! I'm really looking forward to their "Silvershard" trilogy / City Of Secrets follow-up ! Thx for sharing

That's what I read in the WD too... Are the Orlocks 2018, then ? I seem to remember that the 30th was no release at all last year ? Or was it the Christmas Week end ?

I just hope ADB is talking about 2018 stuff But I keep faith we'll get great things for AOS soon ! Thx for sharing Chikout

We speculated here a while back about the AOS website (equivalent to 40k, Underworlds, etc.) ! Glad to hear it was effectively talked about at the "official" seminar Anyway it makes totally sense, and also it means Malign Portents (with the new logo and all) is more or less "AOS 2.0" rule wise (because I think it will be a general AOS website, not just a Malign portents website - nor a War of Konor style website, because GW made no hint of Malign portents being a "global campaign" style event ...)

Upgrade sprues for Freeguild, Disspossessed, Ironweld Arsenal, etc., or City-themed (with an heraldic book ? Like Firestorm 2.0) would be awesome, and would come along nicely with reboxing (like the new Blood / Dark Angels Primaris kit + sprue). Some new heroes sculpts*, some upgrade sprues, round bases, new paint schemes and there you have it: an AOS themed armies** without too much efforts ! *Like the ones coming in WHQ : Silver tower. (BTW I read somewhere, DakkaDakka (?) some speculation (!) about a new Death themed Warhammer quest, "Black Pyramid", that would be awesome too, also a way to add diversity and new heroes to the Death range, oh well, one can dream ...). **I really hope the Cubicle7 AOS RPG will bring such details to the Mortal Realms. I am really looking forward to it (and to the WFB one too ofc !) Excellent post Rogue Explorator ! I would love to see 2018 going that way. The Malign Portents "banner" could totally be Deathrattle related too, and the "re imagination" of catapults, etc. would be a good way to mix "low" and "high fantasy" esthetics ! As for the second faction you imagine, don't forget the "Reanimant" keyword, only present in Morghasts and all the Tomb King constructs : GW surely has to do something with it... ANYWAY, I wish December would go faster ; as soon as the ETB Nurgle and Primaris and the Lord Celestant (16/23 dec) are out, I'm sure GW will start teasing Malign Portents and Nurgle properly Good times ahead !

I'm still not sure ; of course that she is linked to Malign Portents*, but IMO not as the Chaos herald**. *Malign Portents is said to be a big event, teased since half last year, with new logo, new Matched play rules, etc. ** The Knight Of Shroud, Herald of Nagash, looks like a cool character that can be added to any Death armies, Witch-king style. On the other hand, I don't see the Darkoath Warqueen sufficiently "charismatic" to be 1. the whole Chaos pantheon herald 2. Archaon herald. And even if only Death get a "herald", then what's the point of the Warqueen for other Chaos armies ? I mean, when I can get a Chaos Lord, an Ogroid Thaumaturge, another Exalted Deathbringer, etc., I don't really need her... So uh, can January come sooner this year please ?
