Jagged Red Lines

Not a huge fan of wimpy orruks, but then beefy orruks were never really my bag either. Happy for those that are stoked by this though. Personally, I'm hoping we get more information on the "knightly stormcast". For instance, are they on horseback or not? Or are they not stormcast at all but rather order of azyr?

Definitely feel its more to do with how the community has reacted toward him passing on what he found out, than him being coy about revealing too much. When reacting to stuff, I often feel like people forget that the person you're talking about might actually be reading what you've said about them. He might be less willing to put his head above the parapet again, which is honestly a big shame.

I still don't get how kragnos fits into this new greenskin army. He's either leader of destruction soup or like some sort of orruk centaur. Both of which seem weird to me

I don't even care about the rumours. I just love seeing how straight-faced these guys are, like they're reporting on Watergate. Brilliant stuff

Wouldn't be hugely obvious. The fact that there are two days of 40k doesn't mean that one of those days is dedicated to a new edition.

I'm very sceptical that Saturday is 3.0. Otherwise it would say AoS on the calendar for Saturday too. Think its probably something else - Epic 30k or maybe Old World.

Someone on FB did an excellent pencil sketch of the outline. It's definitely some sort of centaur. They went 'full Lumineth'.

Just looks like a reimagined vampire on a nightmare. But the proportions look wrong, the rider looks far too big for the mount.

My initial thoughts when I saw this rumour was that they could add new keywords to existing warscrolls, like infantry, cavalry, artillery, monstrous cavalry etc. That would make the generic battalions in the core book a bit more diverse (I.e. take two infantry, one cavalry and one artillery etc).

Not at all! Just my guesses from various clues we've had over the past few weeks

Something I'm really curious about is the future for duardin. I wonder if they'll get a combined dispossed and fyreslayer battletome. Fyreslayers will go down radically in power if AoS3 rumours are right (i.e. no lotl or save stacking). I imagine they'll be one of the first new battletomes. But I can't really see them getting an expansion to their range, as they're not a hugely popular army (nappy dwarves are a niche interest). We've had a few mentions of Grungni in the broken realms books, and a white haired dwarf in the Belakor book. Makes me wonder if they'll get the Orruk Warclans treatment.

Dont believe a single thing from that list. Here's another, far more likely: Soulblight dragon/centrepiece/Aborash Soulblight direwolves Soulblight heavy infantry/vampire thralls New destruction god - Kragnos AoS 3.0 starter set with more elegant looking, knightly stormcast versus a mixed greenskin army

Yeah! Honest Wargamer speculated it'll be something to do with Epic 40k/HH. They have the titans and flyers already from Titanicus and Aeronautica respectively, would make sense to add infantry and tanks too and make it into a broader game.

Yeah I thought so too. Surely they would say a second day of AoS if it was 3.0. Actually I don't think we'll get a 3.0 announcement at this event. I think Saturday is old world. I think the AoS specific announcements will be soulblight stuff. Kragnos might not fit with that, so the big boy could be revealed later too.

Yeah its honestly pretty weird we haven't seen more gravelords. I feel like there are more kits to come, dire wolves etc. I'm also curious where they fit in with the broken realms releases. Will they be before or after kragnos? I imagine they would be before, as the kragnos story could probably flow in better to aos 3.0. But if that's so, then kragnos model will probably be the very last thing they reveal from that book. Meaning, we've probably got another month or so of speculation over what he might be.

Broken Realms Kragnos looks absolutely jam packed. Kroak, twins, kragnos, now this new sylvaneth thing.

Not kragnos then. Prob sylvaneth or maybe even deepkin.

Is that another weird lumineth helmet?

You know what would boil some p.iss at this point? Even more new slaanesh 😂

If he wanted to just spaff out a load of clickbait rumours to boost his channel, he'd have gone with the line of 'I have a source that has seen the book.' That way, if they're later proven wrong he can blame the source and say he is just reporting what he heard. Instead, he's said that he is the one that has seen the book. He is the source. If what he's said proves to be wrong, his credibility would be directly affected. He's put his reputation on the line here by his choice of words, which to me indicates a level of confidence.

Interesting he didn't mention anything about board size. Hopefully the table size is being reduced to counterbalance the buff that charge reactions obviously represent for shooting armies. Otherwise melee is going to struggle

So much this. I can see GW phasing out finecast sooner than later. Hopefully that means new plastic yetis and sabretusks soon, both of which are hugely popular units. Then you've got butchers, maneaters, firebellies etc, and suddenly it looks like quite a big update. Sadly though I can't see mawtribes being part of this destruction wave, especially if this is a preview from the new hobgoblin army.

Weird point but I hope whatever comes for stormcast is more svelte. I've always thought they look far too chonk. Personal preference, if course. The profile of the flying celestant prime reminds me of a video of myself doing a bungee jump, and I'm rocking the dad bod and pushing middle age.

I watched the video above (which was hilarious btw) and he says their source has only seen the wolf riders in the starter set. Might be too much to expect there to be an entire mounted army, or even an army of grots. Might be (gasp) greenskin soup for all we know

If his people are really gone, as Whitefang says, then that implies he won't be leading a new army. He'll probably then be like a random grand alliance destruction character that you can ally in, in the same way as Gotrek is for order.
