I'm honestly surprised points haven't been leaked yet. That seems to have a far bigger impact on purchasing decisions than core rules changes.
Personally, I haven't even wanted to paint stuff for the past month, let alone buy new kits, until I see how radically points have changed in this edition.

'Nature elf soup' sounds like wanderers are getting taken out of cities.
So potentially dispossessed will go to 'dwarf soup'.
Which leaves the dark elves and high elves. Har kuron has some recent lore, so that's probably staying.
But I'm getting increasingly worried for my phoenix guard army. Maybe time to look at ebay while they're still worth anything

I think Chaos Dwarves will be an expansion on Slaves to Darkness in the same way that Kruleboyz is an expansion on Warclans.
For the same reason, kurnothi will be an expansion on Slyvaneth and Umbraneth will be an expansion on Daughters of Khaine.
I think we're at saturation point now for new factions, and I expect to see new ranges added to existing armies. Can't see there being another two factions a year for the next few years.

Yndrasta is my favourite ever model from GW. Everything about her is epic, including the haircut, which makes her look like a viking shieldmaiden/valkyrie.
I honestly love where they've taken stormcast. These guys feel like a mix between Odin's Einherjar and Greek Hoplites. But I'm definitely going to be replacing all the helmets. The death masks seem weirdly serene, rather than grim. Find it a bit unsettling.

Just noticed the face looks like a giant distended, toad-like mouth, and now I can't unseen. Like this dude's scro.tum neck covers the entirety of his torso. I went from hype to utterly zero.

I think it's fairly possible that they want the god models to be mostly played in the narrative games or 3000 point sphere.
But I think there is also a trend towards increased point costs in general, starting with Slaanesh. Soulblight has higher points across the board, especially for Nagash who is now at 975. I think if Kragnos, Allarielle and Kroak follow this pattern, then we might be looking at overall higher points/smaller lists in AoS 3.
Definitely think they'll hike points significantly across all armies at the start of 3.0, especially if board sizes are reduced.

alleged leaks - take with with a grain of salt if it is not allowed please delete it mods
Kroak is apparently 18 wounds no shrug same rules except the one New below.
Doubt this, mostly because of the poor English in the supposedly quoted text. "Was inflicted a wounds". Sounds like something from a non-native speaker and not something taken from a GW book.

Pfft. GW Orks are based on 1980's football holligans. Men running around drunk starting fights.
The best thing about this is the way orks talk is basically a carcicature of a regional dialect from the part of England I come from.

something extremely interesting from the Gods and Monsters preview!!
In the God of Earthquakes section it says "In his quest for vengeance, he prays to his tribe’s ancient deity, the Drogrukh lord Kragnos, who eventually awakens beneath Twinhorn Peak"
Now, we've been guessing the Beastgrave has been Kragnos but... check out the map of Ghur. Twinhorn Peaks is on an entirely different continent, leaving the Beastgrave mystery still unsolved.
Is... morghur sleeping under a mountain too?

But you will be probably hurt by the lack of a proper Ironjawz second wave release. 😔
Got to say, why would they make a second wave of fyreslayers when they're clearly the least popular (aesthetically speaking) faction in the game.
Fyreslayers are more likely to get new units as part of a wider, more popular faction than they are on their own as a niche. Its much less of a business risk to GW if they're pitching new kits at a broader range of players than they are pitching purely at fyreslayers diehards

Besides both being Duardin they have about as much in common as Lumineth and Sylvaneth.
Bit different. Sylvaneth have their god, and Lumineth have their respective gods. If a faction shares a god or otherwise a warlord to unify disparate groups (like Gordrakk in warclans), then that's definitely more than enough reason to put them in the same tome.

- It kills hope of new kits.
- Either Kharadron or Fyreslayers have their identity ripped out. Probably the only faction in all of the Mortal Realms that were not serving some god or the other.
- Essentially halves the battletome for KO or FS.
Dont agree with any of those points.

Haven't seen anyone complaining about orruk soup with the warclans book. That's one of my favourite battletomes from GW.
Two distinct armylists, if you want to run pure fyreslayers, or pure KO. And maybe a third list under Grungni, if you want to soup.
Its still possible to run your same army that you've always run, I don't get the drama over this. As a fyreslayers player, I ordinarily run a gunhauler anyway as an ally in my hearthguard heavy list.
I think what would be cool is if they release some new units for Grungni's souped list, like automata. Either way, this is exciting for me. More options for list building is a great thing.

I hope Vorgaroth doesn’t go just yet, got to buy mine at the end of the month!
Its a great model, amazing to see on the table. But if FW stops selling it, its rules will go to legends and suddenly you won't be able to use it in most matched play games. Definitely a bit of a gamble.

Am i the only one thats getting more clueless about what the new army looks like after all these rumour engines? I went from gitmob grots to lotr/hobbit orks to swamp monsters to tiki masks to old school orks with warmachines and back to the first one. Now we got some weird shield like thing again after the last one turned out to be a chaos thing. I'm confused now XD.
It looks like this:

The FW line for AOS is a bit depressing, but so many epic large scale models are available from GW it makes up for it.
I wonder if it will get reinvigorated or if The Old World is getting precedence.
Looks like they're gradually phasing everything fantasy out, there's not much left.
Load of stuff went recently, including chaos dorfs. Honestly surprised to see stuff like the rogue idol still knocking around. I imagine it will get replaced with some sort of plastic rock monster equivalent in 3.0 and also go the way of the dodo.

I was on FW and clicked in the AoS region, and SKaarac and Mazarall are no longer available.
Its a shame. Imo skaarac is the best fantasy model they've ever made. It's full of movement and raw power. If they've discontinued it from poor sales they need to look at the reason for that - a consistently subpar warscroll.

Bit of a mixed blessing for beasts players, considering rumours that warscroll battalions are going away in matched play. I guess they'll have about a month to use their shiny new battalions though 🙃

Think the biggest issue with warhammer TV shows is the creative restrictions over the way the protagnoists act.
Space Marines are just dull as ditchwater, they think and talk about honour, loyalty and devotion, and not a lot else. They don't question their place in the universe, or the brutality of their creation. They don't eat, drink, defecate, laugh or ******.
All that means when they talk to each other, it makes me cringe so hard I feel like I could turn inside out. This is already bad in audiobook format and it'll be even worse in a live action format.
AOS has exactly the same problem in its stormcast, who become less human (and therefore less relateable) every time they're reforged.
If w+ is going to be successful, it needs to focus on the humans of both worlds. The freeguild infantryman fighting alongside a stormcast host, or the captain of a space marine battlebarge (think lotara sarrin). Otherwise its just going to be unwatchable cheese.

I'm really surprised about the lack of excitement regarding Warhammer+. I thought that for Warhammer geeks like us it is like a Christmas gift we always wanted. And the animations look really good.
Have you ever seen the 2010 film called Ultramarine? Not even a cast featuring John Hurt or Sean Pertwee could polish that ******.

Yeah I'm almost certain Cities will get replaced by 'Dawnbringer Crusades', which primarily has the human freeguild stuff and maybe some new knights of azyr.
Can see some parts of the range being broken up then, dwarf soup, some wanderers to kurnothi/sylvaneth and very possibly dark elves to umbraneth.
