    A Kurnoth army of renown means a lots of new kits right? Like at least one battleline, one central hero and 2-3 other units and 1-2 side heroes. Is it something possible as we already have a big ironjaw wave and and the cos release, as we are also waiting for a big FeC release in few months?

    Maybe I am missing something but creating an army of renown when you only have one UW unit existing now means too much releases at the same time regarding what we already had and what we are wainting for (but I would love sucha big release of course) 

    Kurnothi is any Kurnothi worshipper. So technically they don't have only 1 UW. That reduces a lot the number of kits required for the army of renown.

    Do you work in a GW related company? Or does your co worker just have made very good hobby choices? 🧐

    I guess the latest. The only time my company was related with GW was when one of our stores sold the AoS and BB magic cards.

    Yes , as far as we know from Valrak that's ToW has been pushed to beginning of 2024 and Legions Imperalis took the November slot instead. 

    I believe we will see CoS full range release in the second part of October and Dawnbringers book 3 in the second part of November .

    What if Dawnbringers book 3 is order focused, as book 2 was Destruction focused, and we get fyreslayers and kurnothi minis ?

    I have the feeling we won't see anything else for FS during Dawnbringers.

    "Eh, that's not my faction. These lizard guys look cool, I assume they come from some tropical realm in this fantasy land."

    "That was true when these models were used in another game, but now they're actually space aliens that just happen to have Mesoamerican styling."

    "Eh."

    They were always space aliens xD

    I disagree with a lot of what's being said here. I don't think it's at all difficult to understand the mortal realms. They are clearly inspired by the 9 realms of Norse mythology. Azyr is very similar to Asgard. Shyish is a version of Hellheim etc. 

    Simply reading the second or third edition core book or the Soul wars core book will give you a pretty good grounding in the lore of the game. Is that too much work for everyone? 

    As for popularity, asking AoS to compete with game of thrones on the lore front is a weird comparison. Look at it the other way round. Asoiaf is one of the biggest fantasy series of all time with two hugely popular TV shows. They made a miniature game with solid rules and an attractive range of miniatures but this year they aren't even in the top ten best selling miniature games in America. AoS outsells Star wars legion and Marvel Crisis protocol in America which should those two games' home turf. 

    Also over production of Dominion is a good thing. The fact that someone can go on Amazon (in America) and buy the box set for a reasonable price is great. That said I couldn't find it available on any of the main UK retailers for less than it's original price. 

    Why should we want the main box set for an edition to sell out in a week?  What about new players who join the hobby in the following three years? They should have the chance to but the best value box set rather than the cheaper but worse value starter sets that come out later. I hope GW overproduces the next starter set as well. The Cursed city situation is the nightmare not the dream. 

     

    I think the problem is the missconception of the edition launching box as the 'main box set'. They are not thought for casual players, Imo. That's why they launch 3 "variations" of it later on. So, even that I agree it is nice to have them available, I don't think it is the purpose of that box to last more than a month.

    "Overproduction" is just a more charitable way of saying "lack of demand." GW "overproduced" Leviathan, which meant that you could still buy it on the webstore on Tuesday after launching on Saturday and not selling out in 15 minutes. Dominion has been 50% off for nearly *three years.* 

    My guess is that they'll address this lack of popularity in 4.0 by keeping SCE as one of the factions, but reduce the production levels so the boxes shift faster. My wish would be that they stop trying to port the 40K model of having a Marine stand-in in every edition, embrace the strength of their creative team instead, and give more production slots to other armies that may catch on organically with the fandom.

    I love the AoS models, but the lore has just not caught on after a decade and I think a big part of the reason is that they're trying to shoehorn these bland superheroes into what is fundamentally a fantasy universe. GoT has arguably been the most popular media franchise during AoS's entire run. The fact that they haven't been able to capture any of that zeitgeist is, IMHO, a reflection that they need to think about things differently.

    I don't think a tale based on a wargame is as easy to introduce as an HBO series based tale. In fact prior to that ASOIAF wasn't that popular neither.

    Multiple weapon profile for kruleboyz monsta killaz and alternative head for the beastnob

     

    - 2x Neckslicers, who can each be armed with a bonehakka or beaststikka harpoon
    - 1x Neckslicer, who can be armed with a smasha or beaststikka harpoon

    1x Bawla Boy, who can be armed with a stabba or flogga

    Seems this bands lately have options to atleast get a couple of them to build all the posible combinations.

    Can anyone pre-order the kruleboyz and fyreslayers warcry warband? I don't see any f this badns even using the email links from GW...

    Using the mail you only see the big box. Going manually to AoS > Pre orders works for me with language set to ES.

    Ok guys since we've seen the last (39th) model in the 40 years of Warhammer countdown today, next Wednesday we are getting a reveal of an iconic model of WHFB/TOW spearheading the big Warhammer Day reveal three days later. I think a new version of The Green Knight or Settra the Imperishable is inbound. 

    I thought that we would have 40 models.

    And I expect a Harry the Hammer remastered for AoS and TOW.

    Are this type of units necessary for the game? 

    They are a bit teddious to use because they have a lot going on. Diferent profiles,  diferents spells, auras, etc...

    I can understand this type of units in a game that tries to simulate war, but AoS already passed that line long time ago.

    Maybe they are not the best playing wise, but for painters/ collectors they are super. Specially if you consider they are all heroes that are not sell separately for 30 € each.

    I like the theory of book 1 being the harbinger book and all 4 them getting their own book. We already had the Rabble Rowza and Trugg. Fec, Nurgle and Fyreslayers left. Or at least Death, Chaos, Order. That would indicate 5 books.

    Maybe we get an updated roadmap in the warhammer day preview?

    Whitefang and valrak giving food-things is interesting as theyre the leakers I trust the most but tbh last year damaged me so hard that someone will hit me with a photo of the renewal, miniatures, and an interview with Jes Goodwin, and i'll still be like "until i don't have the minis myself i won't trust anything"

    But... I may start smiling again...

    Just for curiosity, what happened last year? 😅 The leakers failed us?

    I swa someone above mentioned Whitefang hinted at Skaven being the antagonists for AOS 4th edition release; Valrak hinted the same thing in his stream last night too.

    Would love to see a big Skaven refresh.

    Skavens have been hinted long time ago by Whitefang as well as the rework of the first Stormcasts batch.

    Hopefully the Skavens get the same love than the Tyranids from Leviathan.

    If they're going full on twisted Bretonnians on these FC, with the squires, serfs etc, having a twisted mirror of pegasus knights in bat riding FEC sounds like a great thematic idea.

    What about siege machines like the Trebuchet? How would you move that into FEC? xD

    So maybe the regular ghoul "serfs/men-at-arms" are retaining the old (no metal gear/armour/weapons) kit?

    Looks like I'll have a use for leftover Cities bits (of course only in the very unlikely and definitely not realistically happening, "please don't look cool" scenario in which I start a FEC army)

    Ahahahaha. I am in thr same situation than you. I like FEC lore so much that if the minis look cool I would prolly fall😭
