That claw looks quite rough and made in Hive of the 41st millennium - Rat Skins Bionic Leg for Hive Secundus?
And recently we have a lot of stuff from the new Necromunda edition. My bet is also Secundus.

They may have had to restart when GW canned Beasts or couldn't release it until GW announced it OR wanted to hide/save all the big skaven reveals OR all/none of the above is my guess.
Souldbound many times just goes on its own, so probably not related at all. They could even release the book with BoC characters.

It feels like everyone else got weaker while most of their stuff either stayed the same, sidegraded, or got better. Are they supposed to be an Elite army now? A horde army? The points are going to be a nightmare on this one.
Maybe they get the FAQhammer early after the start of the edition.

Or they move the setting on, blow the world up and release Aeon of Sigmar, which in turn becomes one of the best selling wargames and most popular Fantasy wargame in the world.
Every X years blow up your world and build a new one from the ashes. Every new game is the biggest fantasy seller until we surpass 40k. A plan without breaking points.

we know for sure that :
Wednesday 19th : Ironjawz !!!!
Thursday 20 th : Sylvaneth (probably)
Friday 21th : Khorne (probably)
So Core rules release should be at the beginning of next week and then indexes and so on.
Maybe they surprise us in the preorders announcement with a link for the indexes?

Clearly The Old World didn't work out so they should just discontinue it and release a prequel called "The Older World" ^^
Jokes aside... it would be an interesting setting

PS - a bit sad to see misinformation being taken as read almost in real-time. The narrative that O+G "did not do well" posted online by somebody who "feels" that's the case or has spoken to a couple of FLGS owners or read completely unverified forum posts.
I would say this is the sentiment of a few and not just one individual.

Just curious: If everything is fully about maximizing profit, why do you think that they haven't they cut smaller and less popular factions from the game? (BS and BoC were rumoured to be cut because of TOW, not sales numbers). Why do they even still have people writing BL books for AoS? Why do they put effort into systems like Path to Glory (special rules for every faction), Anvil of Apotheosis (especially in 4th for every faction separately), and books like Dawnbringers?
And if the answer to all of this is that they apparently still make a good enough profit, then why do you think further narrative content suddenly will not?
Because it is an established pattern that, if they cut those then it would backslash them, but going outside of that? I just don't see it.
Everyone in this forum can agree that they will be ace, but we are the fans between the fans and our vision is not 100% objective.-

Sorry... but how do you know this? I don't think the approach to the narrative is being done in the best way but the fact that GW pumped out 6 books (all with special editions) and a dozen+ kits related to it makes me think that they must be doing pretty damned well.
Well, not only DB, but any narrative book, it last in the stores (both GW and my country ones) for way longer than other products.
Also, I am talking about the book itself, not the associate minis. Mnis will always sell better than books, IMO.-

Does everything need to be about maximizing short-term profit?
From the vision I have of GW? Yes.

I want it to be written by a collection of in-universe scholars. Humans, Aelves, Duardin, maybe even Orruks?
There's so much potential for books to really flesh out the mortal realms. A bestiary, botanical guides, geography of known regions, history books, etc.
What I'm especially interested in is a book breaking down the 'science of magic' as you might call it. A book full of beautiful drawings of spells, formulas, differing theories by different scholars, incantations in all mortal realms languages and more. The mortal realms are so vast and mysterious, adding some foundations to the magic system would make me enjoy it even more.
What makes magic from each realm different from each other? What does one have to do to study magic? How do prayers work? They seem to be equivalent to magical feats quite often. What has the Order of Azyr learnt about Endless Spells and their nature? To which extent are they sentient? How do they relate to Incarnates and Aelementors? How does Aqshyan magic differ from magmic invocations? How do Kharadron employ magic to power their mechanical creations?
Books like this might all be more fit for Soulbound, but I would prefer to get this in a nice hardback or bound tome. I also haven't seen any new releases for Soulbound in a while now
I'm hoping it's just because 4th edition is not in full swing yet.
While I agree that something like that would be awesome, is this really worth it?
Stuff like Dawnbringers are already not their best sellers, and they include some rules and stuff, and with the game shifting towards the competitive side, I don't see something like this happening in the future from an income POV.
Also, about Soulbound, recently they launched a big book and a supplement if I am not wrong.-

How do people choose colour schemes? I'm painting Skabbik and co as a tester for a Skaven army but I haven't painted anything for a couple of weeks as I'm stuck with a painters version of writers block. I can't decide on a scheme. Being red green colour blind probably doesn't help as I can't really figure out what colours the official scheme is using. I though black white and red would be nice but that's the same scheme as my cities army. This is always by far the longest part of the painting process for me.
Colour preferences, I guess. Or something fitting the lore. That's how I would do it.

Most of the time its presented as a choice in lore.
Besides, Sigmar would know better than to do that to the leader of the biggest lodge of one of his reliable allies. It could definitely spark a large war between the factions.
And on top of that, it would be a terrible move on GWs part to do that to any army. Oh, your awesome named character who has a lot of narrative buildup but no model yet? Not part of your faction anymore and never will be. Just imagine that happening to a fan-favourite character and you can see the problem.
Don't focus on Bael. It was just the first example of a renewable character that we don't know what happened with him that came to my mind 😄
I don't want to start another FS forum war! -
I see. I also doubt we will see this in terms of minis, but at least the option is there lore-wise, and I think it would be really cool to see some weird ones, like an Orruk into a Stormcast or a LRL.

I don't think Bael would accept his soul being taken. FS believe the worthy dead be revived during the final battle when Grimnir returns, and that would not be possible as a Stormcast.
FS acknowedge Sigmar, but they worship Grimnir.
That is the point. Do they really have to accept to be taken and be reforged?

I feel like if they actually do this to a miniature in the game, they really have to pull it off the first time, because this kind of thing is cool exactly once and then groan-inducing every time after. "Why can't Cities just keep their cool characters? Why do Stormcast have to get everything?".
Also, I think there is currently no character in Cities for whom I think progressing to Stromcast would be a good character arc. It's mostly witch hunters, Zenestra and Tahlia Vedra. None of them seems like a good fit to me.
Maybe Thorian, but I agree. It was mainly the idea rather than a specific example.

TOW is dying everywhere because of the terrible game management (at the level of miniatures and pace of outputs) that GW is doing with this game.
But maybe it could resurge once we have all the armies released?

Sigmar is still collecting souls and making new Stormcast.
In one book I read a dead hero of one of the Cities came back as a stormcast to defend the city from an undead army. The Stormcast even decided to remove his helmet in front of his own statue for dramatic effect lol.
Yeah, Cities is the obvious faction. It is the one that first came to my mind and I think the one that would probably be better received to have one mini "moved" from CoS to SCE, but let's go one step further.
Imagine Bael ends up dying, why wouldn't Sigmar take his soul? In the end, once reforged it wouldn't have to look necessarily like FS, right? So... why not? -
I was listening to some lore and an idea just popped in my head.
Is Sigmar still collecting souls to forge brand new Stormcasts? If that's the case, would it be too weird if we see an order faction hero dying in the lore and have a later appearance as a Stormcast?
Would it be a cool lore bit or just an infuriating movement for those who played him in the previous army?-

Still rocking this bad boy! 🤘💚🤘
I bought second-hand the Maleus Coin tokens. Those were also cool. It was cheaper in the end than if I had bought the box straight from GW.

Just checked the conditions, and it seems like the only way to get all the markers is by buying TWO boxes, one on preorders, and another on a physical store. Again, not worth losing the discount from a lgs...
It was the same for Leviathan. Different extras depending on GW online, GW physical or 3rd party.

Tempting, but honestly not worth the 31,5 euros I'll save via my LGS.
Gotta save money for more models.
I think the Domion ones were better, but also, someone will sell them for less than that.
I'm hoping it's just because 4th edition is not in full swing yet.
