    This and while

    (...)

    has got a Point, I would argue that with a Adepticon following right on the heels of GAMA, we will see a teaser at Gamma and the full reveal at Adepticon a week later. This gives GW time to build up some hype and at the same time promote the more "board game oriented stuff" shown at GAMA.And they teased at LVO that we will see three (3!) new things at Adepticon...

    But either way, at the end of March 25 latest we will probably a huge deal more about what is coming in Q2 2018

    Yeah that's true. 

    But I would have thought that Adpticon would be more 40k focused. This year, this summer also, must have some 40k releases ;)

    And this month we have T'au, Forgebane and Necrons, then Drukhari (Harlequin and Imperial Knights).

    Last year, GW showed at GAMA 2 boxed games (SWA and Shadespire) and 2 AOS releases : the re-cut stater set Thunder and Blood, and the full KO range. 

    We totally could see a new army, and here the more probable IMO is Idoneth Deepkin...

    Don't know about Gamma as it's more about board games I think Adepticon is safer bet but who knows ;)

    Last year GAMA saw teasers of Shadow War Armageddon, Shadespire and more importantly a full reveal of the Kharadrons Overlords range. So no :P

    I am not so up to date with Stormcast, but how would the Sacrosanct mini's look like?

    Well we don't know (and we don't know for Ruination either). But given the name of the unopened Chambers (that is, Ruination, Sacrosanct, etc.) and the "tactical roles" Stormcast are currently lacking (War machine, Scenery, Magic-Priest), it's possible to make some educate guesses...

    And the Lord-Ordinator fluff in the Malign Portents book talks about fortresses (Stormkeeps, found elsewhere in the fluff) and War machines made of the Sigmarite metal (so no common, Ironweld war machines). It sounds to me as a Warmachine / artillery / siege maker Chamber, so maybe something called "Ruination".

    Rumour I heard is that this Box is the new Stormcast Chamber (I recon Sacrosanct Chamber), and Nighthaunt (New wraiths as per artwork)

    That would tie nicely with the other rumors ! Thank you

    EDIT : the new chamber could be the Sacrosanct, but the rumors (and things like the Lord-Ordinator fluff) points toward Warmachines, which sounds more Ruination than Sacrosanct to me. But then if they have to fight unholy ghosts, Sacrosanct seems fine :P

    Just realised that we are at an interesting point for AoS. As of today every model that has been previewed for AoS or Shadespire has been released. This is the first time that releases have caught up with previews since at least March last year when Ko and Shadespire was unveiled.

    The future of Aos minis is currently a complete mystery. We know Deepkin are coming but noone can agree on what the aesthetic will be. We don't even know what the next bloodbowl team will look like. This makes me quite convinced that we will see some news from Gama next Tuesday if not over the weekend. 

    There is indeed the Idoneth Deepkin - full range - and the Vanguard Rangers & Blood Warriors warbands for Shadespire that still have to appear.  

    - - -

    Then we don't know anything for sure, but have rumors of : 

    1)  New Battletomes / factions ; Slaves To Darkness / Darkoath (LoN style book) ; Moonclan / Grotbag Scuttlers ;

    2)  Stormcast warmachines and/or scenery (Ruination Chamber and Stormkeeps) ; 

    3) Slaanesh end of the year, maybe November (4chan and Dakka - why not, or in 2019) ;

    4)  And AOS SECOND EDITION this summer (June*) ; could just means a rules reorganization to go with the FAQ system and a rulebook like 40k ; and a NEW STARTER SET ; impacting the GHB 2018 release (either summer or end of the year like Chapter Approved) --> the rumored Starter Set being "Death vs Stormcast" or "Death vs Aelves".

    5) Add to that Cubicle7's AOS RPG (second half of the year) and various Black Library books like Souls War (coming this summer too*...........). Seems pretty good to me. 

    - - -

    GAMA is the whole week though - maybe we'll get a teaser tomorrow night (as usual) and something along the week ! And by something I HOPE A FULL IDONETH REVEAL - EDIT : yeah right the schedule : http://www.gamatradeshow.com/show-schedule/ GW is indeed only Tuesday and Wednesday

    I think it’s more likely Slaanesh will be the focus of the next campaign once Portents is wrapped up, and that this is foreshadowing. A campaign late this year or early next would tie in with about the sort of time you’d expect a new Chaos release based on existing patterns.

    Yes and I always thought GW would keep Aelves for a "Fate of Slaanesh" narrative - but even with DoK and Idoneth we now have confirmation of at least 2 other Aelves factions - Tyrion&Teclis and Malerion - (perhaps) coming (soonish i.e. 2019), factions more linked in the fluff to that very Fate ...

    I did hear there was to be a new Starter Set this year (could be a campaign box like Blightwar), featuring everyones favourite poster boys vs Death.

    Planned for summer I think.

    Given the whole big build-up around Malign Portents, the fact GW knows we want "moar Death" and acknowledged it on their Facebook, and the whole new Logo / new Battletome format / new FAQ-GHB system (and 40k 8th), we really could see a "new edition" this year. 

    By that I mean just a reorganization of the fluff and rules, without changing it too much (or not at all, at least for the Four-pages core rule sheet).

    We'll then have : 

    1) A new big core rulebook with ;

    - A good introduction to the Age of Myth, Chaos and Sigmar (including the Realmgate Wars, the Season of War and Malign Portents), i.e. a Time line. And with explanation of the Realms. And maps, both large (the Innerlands of the Realms, at least Aqshy, Ghyran, Chamon and Shyish) and detailed (more "high fantasy" like in the RGW). 

    - The 4 rules pages, with Warscrolls explanations, etc..

    - A bit of the General's Handbook (3-ways-to-play introduction), Path to Glory, Skirmish and Campaign systems updated rules (i.e. "Advanced / optional rules section")

    - Informations on modeling, painting, etc.

    (i.e. everything that is in the current  40k 8th core rulebook - way more handy (and pricey ?) than buying Age of Sigmar : Mighty battles bla bla + Malign Portents + Getting Started with AOS, etc.).

    2) A new Starter Set, of course, which obviously should contain Stromcast / Order (because poster boys and sales, etc.) and Death, as everything is pointing as Nagash being THE main antagonist of the current narrative.

    I'm counting on a new REANIMANT Skeletons Death faction (based on the Illuminations / layout of the MP book and Website, and LoN book).

    Sorry for the "educated wish listing" :P

    Well thanks for your answer !

    I didn't know that thank you !

    Does someone remember this rumour snippet ? I'm just quite impatient regarding new Death releases :P

    OH ! I've really tried to follow the rumors mill and I didn't recall anything from this guy ; he alas deleted his account on Lady Atia'site...

    But I remember a GW FB comment clearly saying : there will be more for Death this year (more = something else than Legions Of Nagash and the Knight Of Shrouds).

    I am not sure about the ruins. Honestly I find them a little boring.  Most of the previous AOS terrain has has oodles of flavor.  These seem a little bland.  If I wanted this type of stuff I would just go with the Hobbit kit, has more vertical levels.

    That's funny, that's precisely because they look like the LOTR scenery that I like those Azyrite Ruins ! Will complement nicely the Ophidian Archway and Numinous Occulum I already have...

    The Moon Base set includes the Ryza Pattern Ruins. I got one set separately. They are relatively simple but they have the right size. A cheap way to get lots of infantry sized cover.

    Okay, cool. According to the French WD http://www.warhammer-forum.com/index.php?/topic/231038-calendrier-des-sorties-aos/&page=157 it's indeed one kit with a printed realm of battle board + Azyrite ruin, and one independent Azyrite ruin (like the Ryza Pattern are both in Moon Base Klasisu and separately available). 

    I hope this kind of card board realm of battle is "durable" !

    Info from French Warhammer Forum: from next WD
     
    Realm of battle: Blasted Hallowheart 65€ (includes below ruins scenery kit)
     
    Azyrite Ruins 22.5€

    Both are on pre-order on 03/03. Anyone knows anything about it?

    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

    Not really Aislinn became Avatar of Manthlan/Manthlan himself, he was killed by Tyrion but probably survived as guy who broke news about Sea Alves said that's a lot of Manthlan in there and Manthlan is/was Aislinn. 

    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.

    Temouloun posted a bit more and he posted that he saw the new Aelves.

    • "Neither really. Something completely new. The foot infantry are the best models I've ever seen coming from GW, with a very audacious design. Something between the Sylvaneth Spite-Revenants and the greek looking Slaanesh Hellstriders."
    • "I can't say haha. No Malerion/Teclis/Tyrion, but Mathlann a lot."
    • "Big ones and very big ones. (on a question if there are sharks... )"
    • "Actually no, they're true underwater creature... So I guess they fly when above water ? I didn't read the fluff yet."

    Very interesting rumours!

    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 :D

    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...

    Yep and Mistweaver is female and Morathi team is rumored to be female exclusive. 

    Also there is a chance That Mistweavers are wizards of Uglu and both Malerion and Morathi factions will be able oo use them as wizards which would be cool. 

    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...

    My point is as long there is a disconnect between sigmar and his people his war against chaos will be never ending. RG in 40k makes a similar point if people live in hell they would start to consider the other hell.

    Plus all the cities do is provide chaos with a different playground as proven by tzeentch arcanites. And death at the door story. Chaos specifically aims for people down on their luck majority of the time.

    What you are saying here is most likely what sigmar is thinkimg. Hence grungi's problem with sigmar. As we can see such thinking is biting him in the butt big time.

    I just finished the story

    Spoiler

     Really, I cannot take the survivors' defense. They are corrupted. The worthy were saved (the Empress, the Standard bearer). The other turned. Shame on them !

    :P 

    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 !
