I'd be up for a resculpt of the human BB team. It's not really up there with the newer BB teams they put out. Orks fared a bit better, but it's really sad how badly the humans aged in just 3 years or whatever it is.

That seems less likely. Humans are one of the new teams that are already out. Lizardmen are not. Neither are High Elves, Wood Elves, Chaos Dwarfs, Khemri and... I'm no doubt forgetting some. Vampires?

To be fair, the previous Lizzie team was based upon the original Lizzie Saurus/Skinks from 5th Ed WFB (that's the one that had them and the FrenchBrets in the starterbox, yeah?). Lizzies got a big update, a bit like Tyranids from 2nd to 3rd, that redefined their aesthetic.

That's why I want to see a new Lizzie team in plastic looking like current Lizzes (or Seraphon, if you're the pedantic type). I've actually got a painted team of Lizzies, so having more things to paint that I enjoy painting would be good.

Norse? Frogs? Necromantic? Amazons?

Bretonnians of course

Maybe we'll get a Stormcast team at some point?

I do wonder just what it is Sigmar has locked away.....

Could it be attempts to make Stormcast from souls other than human?

I'd love a mounted Bret team. That would be something.

"Foot Knights!"

No, no, no. On actual horses. You get 4 of them, and the rest are peasants.

Blood Polo?

A team of fancy noblemen on horses who are outright playing the wrong sport seems pretty on-flavor for Blood Bowl, to be honest...

Undead would win: Ghost horses phase through everything.

My prediction

AoS: Aelves
40k and AoS: Slaanesh

Maybe Emperor's Children for 40k with Fulgrim.

Currently on my holidays, so may actually stay up for this. Always nice to goggle at new stuff.

Based on the buff Carnosaur rider, not the starving stick(lizzard)men with flat heads, please. They could borrow GW's CAD file.

I hope there's more info on Warcry.

Yeah whoever designed the regular saurus warriors screwed up big time. The characters etc (like the rider you emntioned) look amazing, but the rank and files?....meh

Bear in mind that those are from two entirely different eras of GW plastic production. The regular Saurus Warriors were, IIRC, released in 6th Ed, the Carnosaur came out in 8th.

 Binabik15 wrote:

So do I.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping it is more like Necromunda than Kill-Team, a sort of spiritual successor to Mordheim. I am, at the very least, hoping those warbands will have extremely modular multi-part kits that allow all kinds of insane combinations and customization.

I'd consider it an outright success if those warband guys have rules for AoS. One of the reasons my foray into AoS is a half-hearted effort is the absolute lack of decent Chaos models if you want to be "Chaos Undecided", but an outright obnoxious flood of Khorne-dudes (with absolutely absurd names "BLOODSKULL GLUTESMASHER" and "MURDERTIDDYCRUSHER" or "SLAUGHTERSCROTES"). I mean, the only thing more "Warhammer" than Chaos Warriors is "Overpriced Models".


And if the game allows AoS units I'd probably go bonkers splitting my time between Kill-Team, Necromunda, 40k, AoS, and Warcry. On of my most recent efforts is to bring in new players to 40k, and I've found it's best to show new players a model kit that has uses in more than one game.

Expecting more reveals of Warcry, Kill Team Elites, and another cryptic teaser for Forbidden Power. Hopefully the reveal of the Kharadon warband for Underworlds.

Don't think we'll see a new Blod Bowl team, maybe some resin add-ons or star players, as they've just revealed the Halfling team.

.

Yeah, the first real multipart Lizzies came out in the very early oughts. Even back then the Saurus models were really scrawny compared to the artwork released for the new and improved™ look they were supposed to have. The BB video game had very buff Sauri, too. The Carni rider is the first (and only plastic) Saurus even remotely looking like the artwork my teen self drooled over.

It's also the only pc 3D sculpted Saurus so far, so using him as a base should be a given. At least in my dreams.

I thought they already did, it was just they're not represented as models?

I’m not sure the background has said one way or the other?

There are chambers yet to be opened of course.

Wouldn't that be fun! Another teaser that tells us even less than the last one!

I'm kind of split on plastic Sisters previews that some are expecting. On the one hand, since the release is so far back in the year I'm really not expecting anything good until at least August (there should be a continental Warhammer Fest then, right?). On the other hand, I think with the Battle Sister Bulletin started now I expect they still want to do a major reveal at an event instead of the bulletin (say, the new look of Repentia) which will only expand on that reveal afterwards.

I do hope for more Warcry and finally something on Slaanesh myself. I'll take Darkoath, too, if it comes to that. But especially the wait for Slaanesh has been drawn out long enough as far as I'm concerned.

I would like to learn more about Warcry, personally. It's still a few months away so I don't expect it.

I think what will be previewed will be primarily new Primaris Marines releases, possibly a preview of a re-released Space Marines codex.

Originally it was speculated but then it was cleared that no, theres only Human Stormcast because the others Gods don't allow Sigmar to steal the souls of their subjects.

A shame, I really really wanted an orc stormcast.

I hope they show off the Kill Team Elites boxes they already teased (Ork Flash Gitz & Thousand sons scarab occult terminators) so we can see if they include any terrain in them and if so what terrain. Orks could get the speed freeks stuff or just the mekboy workshop but what would 1k sons get, something new? Or both just neutral buildings?

I also hope they show off some new character sculpts for KT, in the same vein as the admech manipulus. So many factions could use another datasheet or two so and KT would be a perfect vehicle to introduce that so I really want that to become a trend.

Even though Vigilus ablaze isn't even out yet, I really want them to at least tease where the storyline is going next in 40k.

The mek shop is based on the Imperial frontier ruins. It would be easy to put the latter in the Chaos box so they don't have Ork themed terrain but still something that pairs well with the Ork box.

I don't think they'll tease any story progression two days before the general public can read what's going on right now. Also good to remember that the last time we got Girlyman's resurrection in March and they let that stand for another three months until Dark Imperium was released. GW doesn't seem to be in too much of a hurry to start the next chapter, if you will. You'll likely have a better chance to sift through tiny notes in Vigilus Ablaze and maybe find a hint of what GW has planned next.

You set your dreams too low.

Bring on a Halfling Stormcast army. Where you put down regular Stormcast, but when they take a wound they split into two halflings wearing halves of the armor.

To be fair I never expected much for GAMA due to what it is.
But adepticon, I expect more from, it’s one of their bigger reveal times I think.

I’ll be awake anyway, so will keep tabs

At least the Kharadron warband for shadespire should be revealed, right? They tend to release warbands at the same time, and the Sylvanneth warband was shown off months back.

I want a lizardman team reveal, but I'm about given up on it.

I'm hoping they blindside us with the Sisters, just preview nothing then one week BAM! Full range preview with pre-orders and a battle box.

I’d imagine some of the Sisters stuff is now set in stone, design wise. After all, they need to get the dies cut, and a stock built up before release.
