    Ok, why did this have to be the one leak I sleep through?

    Everything looks so good!!! I just hope that the Pontifex has a generic build option, and that we get a elite infantry unit either now or a later wave.

    Also, I'm thinking those minis on top of the image (Arch-Knight, Surgeon, etc.) could be one kit like 40k Command Squads. Would be an insta-buy for me.

    Seems that the big heroes doesn't have generic option to me, but it is nice starting to see some known heroes on the CoS army. Hopefully they get some nice histories behind with the years.

    So, all the old Warscrolls stay the same (not necessarily a given), we should now know all of the 54 of them.

      52. Whisperblade
      53. Great Herald (with Mascot Gargoylian?)
      54. War Surgeon

    I am making the assumption that the Mascot Gargoylian does not get their own warscroll but shares it with another hero like the Relic Envoy and the Marshall.

    I've seem some messages about the Soul Shepard, Whisperblade, Great Herald and all those being just 1 warscroll. That would leave room for more stuff as whitefang said.

    Synergy within the army will probably uplift them qutie a bit. I'm almost certain that I already saw an order on that one preview image that lets castellite units like the cannon shoot twice.

    Here's a potentially interesting observation: The Hurricanum is no longer a "Celestial Hurricanum with Battlemage", but rather a "Battlemage on Celestial Hurricanum". Could this mean that we are treating them and the Luminark only as mounts now and losing the Mage-less versions?

    That was my conclusion as well. That's why we have room for more reveals as Whitefang confirmed!

    Thank you. You hero! This range renewal is simply the best work done by GW in years.

    About the lack of units and having too much heroes, I think I prefer it this way. We have a lot of different minis taste, and as more units would be removed from CoS and/or renewed, we would have newer and more variety on units later on.

    Apparently the delay for 30k epic is because of an embarrassing error printed in the rulebook so they've had to reprint.

    An embarrassing error in this case using a real world quote from a real world historical regime that might be a lil' bit yikes.

    Wow. It would be interesting to see the quote. Is it really something that big to reprint it all?

    This delay announcement makes it understandable why Underworlds skavens are being released next week instead of autumn, and why august collectible coin (which probably should have been Legion Imperialis) has still not been announced on WarCo.

    So it seems that the change of warehouses is still causing GW logistical problems... I'm starting to worry about COS army set.

    I think I saw the Legion Imperiales coin already. I am not fully sure where I saw it or how that user got it.

    Considering how epic the Vindicare sniper was Id love to see something done in the same vein for AOS.

    Think about it, we already have it 😅. It is the Fusil-Major on Ogor Warhulk, same concept but translated from 40k to AoS. And we even won an Ogor!

    I wonder if that email was a mistake.  Last year they  talked about year 2 shows on August 10th and revealed the minis on August 14th. 

    I was expecting something yesterday but since nothing was revealed, I think we'll have to wait until next week. 

    Could be possible, yes.

    I know it is HH day, as it was mentioned above, but if the mail was right I don't see the minis being announced on a Friday nor a Weekend. Lets see if today is the lucky day.

  9. Today seems the most feasible day to see the new W+ minis, right? What would be your bet?

    40k: Odds say some sort of Marine ofc, 99,9% Lieutenant, but I would say it is a cool looking Tyranid to be in line with Leviathan.

    AoS: I think we will see a CoS Wizard from a different college than the one form the army box. Maybe a mage from Azyr?

    Here is the full rundown.

    I guess this dots thingy is quite old, based on the message date, but could be posible to provide different icons to the different ranks? They are all using a default rocket currently.

    Yeah though I do feel the new Freeguild look more "duardinified" than the Empire ever was "dwarfified". That's why I really don't mind WFB Dispos next to AoS Freeguilds. They look great next to eaxh other despite the disparity in age. In fact, I'd be happy if Dispos stick around in AoS and don't get shelved to TOW like the Empire and High Elves got. They have a pretty nice roster (3 heroes, 3 melee units including one elite, 1 ranged unit, 2 warmachines), that's already a lot and more than some AoS armies get (like SoB). I hope they stay long term. 

    I don't know if you recall those post stamps GW sold, but the dispo were there under ToW wording. Imo that's a clear message.

  12. Btw, I've seen lot of talks about old models from factions such us Skavens and Beasts of Chaos. I think we can all agree that sooner or later all WHF minis would be replaced or removed, right? In that case, which WHF mini would you say has the higher chances to stay in AoS as it is for the long term.

    Imo that mini could be easily Nagash. I had no clue that was initially done for WHF, and it is surprisingly good for the time it has.

    I'm definitely at the point where the wait for news has become a touch frustrating. The gap between reveal and release for cities has been almost as long as it was for sisters and we've had about half the number of articles. There hasn't been a single lore article yet. They could easily have done one for each of the cities. I'm ready to see a contents page and even a blurry pic or two though I normally don't like leaks. 

    That's not fair, imo.

    We got five short stories. Dawnbringers campaign is literally all about CoS, some CoS flavour on Hammer an Bolter an lore hints on the different reveal articles...

    It looks quite well prepared for me.

    Seeing the acutal COS Battletome definitely makes it all seem more real. 
     

    I most likely won’t  (but never say never) start a COS army, but I feel this is the most important army to be added to AOS. 
     

    While stormcast are cool in their own style, I have always felt there was a huge need/desire for regular human army. While they aren’t the brettonia of yesteryears, I’m overly impressed with how subtle but modern their take on this design space has been. 

    They appear to have set themselves up for an endless supply of updates for them as well. This army could easily get 5 kits a year and never seem to be too much because people will be able to use what they don’t like and use what they like. I’m feeling this army is a win win. 
     

    While AOS has rapidly been growing since the pandemic, could this army be the one that completely blows the game up and entice a lot of new players?
     

     

    Wouldn't surprise me if it helps indeed to bring players into AoS as there's many studies about picking races in videogames where human is always the most appealing as we feel closer to them, but the price increasing over and over yearly would always be a problem to bring new players, imo.

    I also pay annually, but I'm sad to hear about this price increase.  For the past two years, I've felt that the price is on the line between being "worth it" or not.  If it was a little cheaper, or if there was more content, I'd be much more satisfied.  But as it is, I think it (barely) provides enough to make it worth the cost.  But if the price increases, I'm not sure that's the case anymore.  

    What I'd really like to see is W+ give you access to all rules (battle traits, artefacts, etc.) in the app.  And then have battle tomes be more focused on lore, art, and advancing the narrative.  I feel like that would make W+ worth the cost and I know I'd still buy tomes (at least for the armies I liked).  

    Maybe they did it this way to cash out ppl that sign just for one month, watch the entire list of shows, and just leaves?

    That could explain why the annual sub is not increasing its price.

    It could be cool but GW have gone away from doing such thing in the modern era

    and the AoS team don’t design their models to be modular enough for upgrade spure like 40K does, best chances is transfer sheets (which I assume CoS will get them but even those are rare for AoS kits in general)

    In the communty post where the army box was announced they mentioned the box would come with four transfer sheets. Four!

    I know asking for them to be different is way too much, but it is better than nothing.
