I recognize that the "herald" rumor is extremely vague. I'll add a bit more to it. It won't be the first time we've ever seen anything for these two herald factions/subfactions, but we've seen very little.

As always with my hopes until they drop, GITMOB!! 😁

Sounds like Nurgle, OBR, FS, Seraphon, LRL, or maybe Kurnothi for candidacy. They’re IIRC the only ones left without a second warband.

Here's hoping for Malerion elves :D

Horus Heresy post for today. No monday reveal?

They normally show a full model as a teaser for a preview show, for example it was the Ork Ardboy boss for last years Nova, so I expect that to be todays reveal

Candidates:

BoC & Savage Orcs (Kidding! Don't club me too hard!) - Grashrak's & Hedkrakka's

But for real:
Eshin (subfaction). - Skittershank's
Kurnothi (subfaction) - Skaeth's (+Cursed City)
Malerion aligned aelves (subfaction or faction?) - The Shadeborn (+warcry +wqst)
Whacky science undead (subfaction, probably a stretch) - The Exiled Dead
Gitmob (subfaction) - Rippa's
Devoted CoS (subfaction?) - Brethren

Can't think of others that don't exist. I am not counting stuff that is related to a current faction/sub (for instance, Blackpowder's doesn't count for ogors)

Maybe Grundstock specialists? Grundstock subtheme was never developed, even if they are one of the most famous mercenary armies.

A few more NOVA details.

Looks like they've defined Age of Sigmar (Stormcast) and Blood Bowl as being the only reveals? 40k, AoS, 30k and TOW are just roadmaps and teases.

First, the new reveals. After the Skaven showed off their horrifying reinforcements at the Hel Crown preview, the Stormcast Eternals are dusting off from this historic loss and marshalling new forces of their own with some stunning new additions for Warhammer Age of Sigmar. There’s also something brewing on the Blood Bowl pitch, and if Jim and Bob’s excitement is anything to go by, it’s a team to be watched.

Then, we’ve got new roadmaps for Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Warhammer: The Horus Heresy, and Warhammer: The Old World. Each one will shed some light on what’s coming up later this year and beyond, and they may even have a few teases for you along the way.

This also could mean things that have been ‘heralded’ in other games like warcry I would guess?

If very little means minis, the candidates are Kurnothi, Tyrion Lumineth, Malerion Aelves Chords( though that seems to be a separate rumour), gitmob and I suppose Ogors if you only count new AoS releases.

It could be weird subfactions that are part of established factions but only have one or two units. Something like the Firebelly in Ogres or the Askurgan Trueblades. Although I don't expect any Underworlds warbands that are just a re-do of a Warcry warband, to be honest.

Do they have another show coming soon?  The fact that not even 40k is getting a full sized reveal is pretty surprising. 

Gw must be aware of the ongoing discussions about warcry and Underworlds disappearing. I haven't fully been keeping up to date but  I think Legions Imperialis has had all its previewed minis released. 

Blood bowl is the flip side. A big reveal suggests the rumours of a new edition are true. That makes 5 new editions this year so far. Gw only makes 11 games. Surely the rumours of Horus heresy getting a new edition this year are false. It feels like that should be the big summer release next year. 

Definitely disappointed that we won't be seeing anything for Underworlds or Warcry.

Don’t worry heresy is rumoured for next year

I'm happy for the fans of these last two starter updates as it's always good to get new shinies for your faction but damn am I happy to see this drawn out drip feed of rats and stormies finally come to an end and start focusing on the rest of the game again before two more years are up and it starts all over.
