    It could just be them hiding the obvious if they said AoS was on Saturday

    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.

  2. 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).

  3. 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.

  4. 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

    I think we are missing something- just reread the email from GW and it says "Epic Warhammer fest news" Maybe Saturday is the return of Epic! Or Warmaster! Surprise!😆

    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.

    Saturday could be Old World or Total War stuff.

    It'd be weird if it was new edition AoS and they didn't just say it was AoS. Then again, they might just want to trick 40k players into watching it too.

    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. 

  7. 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.

    He's also trying to jump start a YouTube channel for himself, so it might be his hope is by tossing out these 'reliable' rumours he can get a core audience ("don't forget to...") Like and Subscribing enough that drop off when he's found out to be talking out of his rear end doesn't matter much due to the 'cushion' he formed in the time prior.

    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.

    well as long as they start replacing their resin heroes. 

    the Ogor plastic range is probably the most serviceable and diverse product line of the older armies what really holds it back is the lack of Plastic heroes and maybe some of its random Resin models like Yeti and Maneaters. Tyrant was a start but they should have made a new Butcher model as well

    i also have a sneaking feeling GW wants to do something with the Firebellies (since it has survive this long) and expand them but unsure how.

    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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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
