GW put a large bunch of the Underworlds Warbands on Range Rotation a while back along with a bunch of finecast models as well. I think that its a two part attempt for GW to get rid of a lot of Finecast in one go even though they couldn't speed up to get plastic replacements out; and a way for them to drop some plastic lines in advance of HH going live this summer and likely putting additional strain on their factory setup. Esp if their staff are still working covid safe and if the power issues with the local network aren't fixed (ergo that GW might not yet be at full running capacity)
Hunt around 3rd party stores and you might well still find underworlds warbands. Not sure if local GW stores will still be stocking them as well. Range Rotation means that they should come back into production at a future date

No GW would put the Underworlds Warbands on general sale, ergo models without any Underworlds cards, just a regular model kit like any other. Range Rotation pulled them from sale as well. So they don't sell them in any form right now.

GW may have put a bunch of the cardless Underworlds warbands on LCTB a while back - I know, I picked up Mollog's Mob at that point - but I can't find a WHC article confirming these were explicitly due to Range Rotation. I think they were just removed from the line.

Confirmation of why no-one should listen to Kanluwen when it comes to the IG - he doesn't want the IG, he want's Kan's New Model Army...

Seems fine to me for a pole dancer. Her hips and shoulders aren't in the same plane, the torso is a little pulled back and the left leg aligns with it. The right leg is angled back relative to her torso to let her stand on/float along/push off her tactical floaty rock pile.
Maybe you're getting that impression because she wears spandex? There's not a lot of definition on the clothing because of it.

I think you may be right. I checked the range rotation thread and it doesn't seem like anyone linked to a Warhammer Community article following HBMC's link to the store page:

Does anyone have an educated guess when Dawnbringer Crusades (CoS) will arrive? From what I heard it sounds like it’s in the concept stage and still far off. But it would be really neat if it arrived this year.

They're barely renders, and GW tends to release models about a year or so after all of the molds are already done, so it's gonna be a few good years.

GW can, and has in the case of Sisters of Battle, create an army from concept to release in 18 to 24 months. That is also the time frame for army projects they used to give in White Dwarf occasionally, back in the day.
GW seems to want to copy the approach to Sisters with a long running preview series and started with concept stuff two months ago. If that's actually the stage they're at and not something that was delayed to fit the date of Warhammer Fest, the earliest we should expect the army is late in 2023, but quite possibly only in the first half of 2024.
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!

Is Vandus Hammerhand iconic enough to warrant a chaotic parody?
I guess since he was the first named Stormcast, we'll get homages to him in 20 years. Same with that khorne guy who hasn't really shown up recently either

But apparently he’s a former Varanguard lore-wise.
Well well, little bit of interesting news from the StD battletome leakers.
Lorewise what’s happened is Kragnos got Grand Marshall Archaon so riled up that he let slip his ultimate plan to turn on the Dark Gods after the Realms have been dealt with(this is why since the beginning he’s cemented his power at All-Gates, not because it allows full access for his legions into the Realms but because it’s the only place Chaos can freely enter them. He controls their access and can turn it off like a spigot) causing his eighth circle of Varanguard(he still retains the majority, that’s why he had them worship him rather than the Dark Gods) to abandon him and join Belakor in their ongoing civil war to lead Chaos.
That’s where the new character Eternus is from. A Varanguard that left Archaon and signed up for Belakor’s Bootleg Stormcast program to become immortal like them(though noticeably tethered further to Belakor).

I don't think so. It's the tenth member of the Chaos Warriors unit beside him. Though he is weirdly far from the others.
nah there are 10 in the group, one is just kind of tucked in.
that guy is something else.
any mention of new marauders?
funny that there's nothing in the pic.
Not a thing. I strongly suspect they want to replace Marauders with the Warcry units. That seems to have been the plan since adding them to the last book. Which is a shame, since Marauders fit better as part of the overall army theme. Having lots of Warcry units just looks like a hodge-podge.

Hodgepodge is ChAoTiC! Uniformity is stagnation! Embrace change!

I wouldn't mind if they moved away from separate profiles for the warcry units. Marauders, Marauder skirmishers, and Armored Marauders. Assign whichever warbands as appropriate and use whichever style you like.
Having 10+ datasheets for 'human adjacent warbands' is quite silly.
Plus then they could do away with that ancient and wretched marauder box.
