This is the first time I've heard about this rumor. Could you tell me what is known about this new model?

It's on this forum somewhere, I think the mount was called a "Morr-gryph"? And was said to be bigger than the Lord Veritant's Gryph-stalker. So a new centerpiece-sized raven

@Whitefang back me up said it is the same as the Lord Vigilant but bigger.

non-primaris marines would like a word... being removed doesn't necessarily relate to selling well. Sacrosanct felt like the clearest Stormcast identity and it absolutely got me to buy into 2e.

I don't think this is comparable. The updating of the space marine aesthetic was GW move to re-open the space marine cash-cow again. The non primaris space marines squads like the tactical, sternguard, devastor, jump pack squad and etc were all in a state that it would be hard to do better within the same proportion/aesthetic. Creating primaris was a way to resell all the same squads again but than in the primaris proportions/aesthetic.

Sacrosanct were removed after 6 years without replacement. There was no need to drop them. They aren't replaced ruleswise or fluffwise, just removed.

everyone making jokes about Stormcast bloat and favoritism, and you don't think Sacrosanct is coming back in a couple years..? There's no way we don't see them again, for the same reason Primaris brought back what got canned. There are even new Knight Incantors through Underworlds (Stormcoven).

If Sacrosanct was a good seller, it wouldn't have been removed.

There is no bloat in StD 😄, We still could use some units. 😄 

Edit: Imo Luminth and StD could use some dragons. I would love to see more type of dragons or dragonlike creatures in AoS. I really dislike that these are only for SCE. (ignoring the CoS Black dragon).

Not StD… Disciples of Tzeentch, my man! ☝️The first Chaos dragon (Galrauch) was created when a High Elven dragon got fused with a Lord of Change! No need for the lesser Chaos gods to field such a magnificent creature, for Galrauch fathered all Chaos dragons and it would only befit his spawn to serve the one true master as well. 🫶 

I sound batsheet insane…and that‘s good! 😎🤙

They really need to make each chamber more distinctive to warrant flooding us with those SCE doods though. 🥱 

I get that it‘s interesting if you collect them but I‘d rather see CDs, Ogors and Malerion before they start redoing SCE… even if the latest SCE minis are great objectively.

Primaris brought everything back because it generates a lot of income for GW. I am not convinced SCE will ever do the same. I don’t think that Sacrosanct will come back miniature wise at all. IMO they were removed because they were the worst selling range of the older SCE and something from the SCE had to go to avoide even more bloat.

I want to see dragons mutated by Tzeentch, Slaanesh, Nurgle and Khorne.. I want to be able to freely mix marauders, chaos warriors, chaos knights and chosen with any of the chaos factions😎.

I want to have sea dragons for Idoneth, different kind of dragons for all the Aelf factions.

I just want to see more dragons / dragonlike creatures in AoS. 😀

 

[novakai]

We all know there gonna be more SCE in three years, wishful thinking ain’t changing that fact.

I also get the feeling that Deepkin and KO will lavish for another edition with just a foot hero release (baring something from Warcry)

Not saying other factions shouldn't come first (where the F are all the new duardin and Idoneth creatures????) just that there's no way Sacrosanct is fully dead.

It is how the market works. If an army sells better than others they will receive more goodies.

Whilst this is true, the AoS studio has to be vigilant (and has so far done a good job IMO) in not chasing short-term profits by pumping out kits for ranges they know will sell well, at the expense of creating an evenly distributed eco-system for the AoS Setting as a whole. 

It is a problem that 40k has suffered from, with the prevalence of Marine concepts (and I hope we see more Xenos expansions like the Kroot explored in the future)

I feel like Dark Eldar could really use a similar Kroot styled expansion of some of their more bizarre concepts. 

I actually think Dark Eldar and Tau would both make terrific 11th edition starter factions.

[Dragon-knight77]

Well got the info in an excel for the predictions tomorrow

For my own i'm going with 

• Slaves to Darkness
• Ork Warclans
• Nighthaunt
• Cities of Sigmar

[dmorley21]

My guess:

Gitz / Soulblight / Deepkin / Daughters

[Ogregut]

My guess

Warclans/nighthaunt/khorne/daughters of khaine.

In fairness he's not been announced but through interviews/ chats with Sam Egan, he said he was working on Angron next. His sole job within FW/ Specialist Games/ whatever dept. it now is, is sculpting primarchs. What an amazing job! And he's doing an amazing job of it.

Would be strange if they were. It‘s not like they closed shop in the lore so they should come back with updated models.

You don‘t understand, sweet Tonhel… they don‘t deserve Tzeentch‘s magnificent creations! If we shared chaos dragons with dolts like Nurglites, we could also give Gitz a dragon, that would make just as much sense! 
 

It‘s Tzeentch and only Tzeentch… forever only Tzeentch! No one else, Tzeentch is the one true god deserving of our worship!

@MitGas there’s an easy way to justify this throughout both fantasy settings: Tzeentch is big in Cathay, we have a canon Eastern Style Dragon corrupted by chaos called Flamefang: make Flame Fang the progenitor of chaos dragon-blooded sorcerer warriors in heavy armor.

But we already have Galrauch, the FIRST chaos dragon and progenitor of ALL chaos dragons as well! There‘s no need to cement this further but the more, the merrier. Let those other Chaos clowns ride on their stupid wing-less not-dragons, we shall laugh at them from above the clouds as befits superior sorcerers! 
 

We do need those heavily armored Sorcerer-Warriors. Speaking of Cathay… that Chinese Reaper armor from Overwatch went into a somewhat similar helmet „visor“ design (broadly speaking) - the silver tower kairic adept as well. I do like how they took Eastern influences and mashed them together with the classic Chaos warrior armor to create our Curseling. Now we need more of them. 

Why can‘t GW be faster with these?! 👺
