    I really hope that we will see a second wave for CoS. What we have seen now is already fantastic, but there is indeed stuff missing. That said, when looking at AoS and 40K, it will not be the first  time that we expected a second wave and years later there is still no second wave... .

    I thik we had hints enough, specially seeing how all our minis are from WHB and everything non human is being slowly removed, but this could be true, but then, it wouldn't be their 'biggest project ever', which would be a fishy move selling it like that if it ends being the same sort of renewal we had for any AoS faction so far.

    Looking at the book the Cos refresh has at least another wave missing. The rest of the human stuff, like the mages and tank, still got to get removed. Also the fact the faction is still missing some hard hitting human models is a good sign.

    And maybe it is just me, but the book does feel like it there to hold us until 4th ed.

    This reminds me to all the talks around cogforts. I have the feeling a big cogfort would be the eye catching big mini for the next wave. Same than Tahlia has been for this one.

    Ambitious projects take time. Look at the Sisters of Battle, arguably one of the most ambitious GW projects of the recent times : they had 2 full waves of minis over 2 editions, and quite stacked waves at that, along with campaign characters, and there's still things to update (Crusaders, Preacher, etc) and room to expand (Frateris Militia, cavalry ?). I think we can expect Cities to have a similar treatment on the slightly smaller AoS scale. 

    All of this can't drop overnight or even in a single release. Rome wasn't built in a day... and so do large ranges of plastic miniatures.

    More CoS minis coming, that's all that matters.

    So many good models are going to be released. Starting from my favourite Seraphon faction. I hope for them to get more single units/heroes in next 1-2years. Will we see all of dawnbringers related books to the end of the year?

    I reallt doubt it. The second book was leaked as late Sept, so that would be almost 3 months between book 1 and book 2. Knowing there'a 4 books, and maybe a surprise 5th one, I would say we would end around March.

    cities of sigmar was supposed to be a huge release,and said by gw his biggest project ever for aos etc etc and then had only 12 kits(and one of these is warcry).

    while other regular army updates as goblins had 11 or 13(if we count spells and the moon) kits and even we could tell many more if we add the other releases as wolfs or the first mage etc,or vampires had also 12 new kits(here is hard because we could add the shadespire or cursed city and would be even more)

    and slanesh if we count his two releases its almost the double of kits than all these

     

    and worse even,every one of these cities kit is monobuild doing the number of scrolls small.

    i really i am very dissapointed with how small have been this city release,i was sure that we would get many more units as:elite foot unit as the swordmans,the gryfon cavalry,the shooting cavalry,the warpriest hero and even maybe a unit of warpriests,one or two more warmachines and some big centerpiece as the big steamtank etc

    Maybe they are counting for CoS refresh what we would see in upcoming waves. That would make sense for the wording "biggest project ever"

    Took em long enough to rerelease the Master of Possession... he was playable in the codex but unavailable on the website for years. I hate when GW does this and that they will not do that with AoS minis in the future. 

    Well, they did it not so long ago. I remember the put back on sale Dacian Anvil, that I paid quite a big chunk for it before that xD

    This is an AoS release. Warcry would be a different thing. It's definitely not that. Wrekkaz is plural so it's definitely a unit and not a hero. I'm guessing an elite unit, hopefully with a dual build. 

    Maybe an AoS/ Wacry dual like the CoS ones?

    I'm thinking book 3 will be more order themed so fyreslayers for the crusade in Aqshy and hopefully kurnothi to feature in the Ghyran crusade. Maybe the final dawnbringers book will be death themed to coincide with the flesh eaters battletome. 

    I am no fully sure if many factions would appear recurrently on the books, appart of the most important ones in the narrative. And I don't think Fireslayers is one of those important ones this time, hence why they were covered in the "intro" book.

    Ironjawz getting new models next month. Sylvaneth heavily rumoured to have the same treatment before the year ends. Fyreslayers rumoured to have new units somewhere in the pipeline.

    Is this the time where all the 1st edition armies get a second wave ? I hope this carries into next edition and that Nurgle, Tzeentch and Idoneth also get new models in the medium/long run. Even Stormcasts deserve their 1st edition models updated. And finally Malerion's aelves to give the Daughters of Khaine some boyfriends.

    We live in very interesting times for AoS...

    Really Stormcast deserve more models? 😅

    And Enhancements. I want to have a lot to chose, even if it sucks. Let me have mounts, traits, artifacts, spells, prayers, etc... 

    Maybe I'm alone but I Ioved when we had 2 tables of items to from each realm, even if some of them were better than the others.

    Sadly feels nowdays the rules tend to be reduced from season to season.

    And that's 3 out of 4 days with a CoS article. I really feel the Army Set could be out this month. Or maybe not, who knows? 😛

    So far I had no news about the box coming earlier.

    How many boxes would you guys plan to get? I "reserved" two months ago. And now that I see how many options we have for the kits, I don't regret.

    One Steelheltms unit has heads for 18-19 units, I think it was. So 20 of them. Two cannos, changing a bit their crew and two ogors as well. I am doubting about the Calaviers, it is the one that feels has less options to build, specially weapons wise, and I really want to see the Fusiliers. Prolly two of this as well as the warcry band.

    What he means is that in AoS you have more liberty to craft your own stories. In WFB every corner of the map was occupied by someone, and that someone had some kind of lore about him about why he was there, what he was doing there and the customs and traditions of the people living there. You had little space for yourself and if you did go homebrew it was always going to be a low stakes off-shoot in a place nobody cared like the Border Princes or a random expedition/mercenary company or whatever. That's why you almost always saw people going with the official colour schemes and not homebrew ones because "your homebrew colour scheme is unfriendly unless you have a tangible (read : short story level) backstory for why you dudes are like that ! Also Stirland is yellow and green, not like you painted !"

    At least in AoS you have large swathes of the Realms that are essentially blank or vaguely described so you can create your own narratives inside with your own subfactions. In AoS, you and your pals can fight over an entire continent with their homebrew armies. In WFB, you would need to fight over a county or a town to be homebrew and still "respect the wider lore"...

    This reminds me to the comment about Blaktalon Squad having Ghyran like bases. In fact, the AoS universe is so bast that every single realm has every possible look. So any basing style could fit any realm.

    I agree, I actually miss differences between heroes on foot and such.

    I mean currently an untrained goblin hero, is capable in hitting and wounding their enemy as good and with as many attacks as a few humdred year old vampire lord who never stopped training his swordsmanship.

    I don't think that is lore friendly.

     

    If all the units would have to be played based on its lore, the game would be unplayable. Imagine stuff like Kragnos, Archaon, Teclis, Nagash... on the table they would be able to kill easily thousand of points, if the game would follow its lore in a complete accurate way.

    I really don't get why people shun the Blacktalons. They're great plastic sculpts full of character, they come from a good WH+ show that has a compeling story, endearing characters and good animation. But there's still "They're Stormcasts so they're bad, they shouldn't exist !".

    I find it a bit harsh to reject good sculpts just because they come from faction X. That's basic Stormcastophobia right here ! 😃😄

    I agree with everything appart from the animation. With the money that GW earns every year, they could put a bit more love on the animations.

    Love the minis, btw.

    yeah these past few stormcast releases are absolute misses for me. terrible wooden posing, weird armor and gear choices, like was there a single person asking for an updated blacktalon model?

    Less than a month ago I read a comment asking for that 😁, and I didn't ever thought about the chance, but makes sense. It is a nice way to promote warhammer + as well.
