Personally, i'm hoping for a glimpse at the 4th quarter orlock gang release.

I don't think we've really had a hard and fast rule on these kinds of things. I think it just happens.

We do have a roadmap for Warhammer Underworlds and December is supposed to be 'the next thing', so five months or so wouldn't be out of whack.

As a tournament game, I'd not put too much hope in anything too soon whilst the world is in flux. At least 6-9 months before things start going back to normal for the most part.

I have but one request for 40k: Show us the New. Forge World. BOOKS!

I wish I cared more about the preview, but I feel kinda burned out waiting forever for the scions of the flame release for warcry

Doubt we'll hear a word about them 'til after the Marine 'Dex is out.

Yeah, I know, but I have to say it everytime there's a new preview. It's a Pavlovian thing.

Season 4 starts in December. They did a roadmap for the game a few weeks ago.

Looking forward to seeing new Orlocks. Hope we get some cool models out of that.

Wasnt the next siege of terra novella The Fury of Magnus, Unleashed! supposed to go on preorder the 22nd? At least that what they said back in March. I guess their plan changed.

[edit] Ah according to the facebooks its postponed until 19th of September [/edit]

Yeah, it’s 19th September preorder now, according to BL social media.

After that, it's going to be a wait for some time before they pick things up again, earlier they mentioned that the Siege of Terra is on a break.

Malerion elves would be really cool, though I do not need another army right now!

It really depends what they do with them. I was really impressed with the first reveal of High-Light Elves, and then the cow-themes happened at them.

Really wish people would recognize that the 'cow-themes' are far, far more realized than "lulz cows"(Ymetrican Longhorn if we want to get precise).

It's a totem. Each of the Aelementari Temples(Wind, River, Mountain, and Zenith) are associated with an element. Alarith are the Mountain Temple. Avalenor, the named 'Giant Cow' with the two hammers? That's the literal spirit of the mountain Avalenor, putting its essence into a physical form to wage war alongside of the Alarith Temple. Avalenor is also the only one that manifested its form of its own accord.
The ones with the giant hammers are constructs, painstakingly crafted by the Alarith Stonemages and the Wardens to have a vessel for their mountain-spirits to inhabit. The 'cow-masks'? They're a binding mechanism for the spirits.

The lore surrounding the concept is really nice and I cannot wait to see the other Aelementari Temples.

This is a pretty good point. I actually liked the Cows themselves, but the Stonebreaker hats ruined that part for me. I'm also not a fan of the two caster hero models either.

Also, Teclis' face.... Not sure what happened there, but it's awful.

Theres no beating around the bush on the new elves; the cows'n'hammers look bizarre. Still visually awesome and If I were filthy rich I'd definitely get the giant-bull-avatar dude. It could have been worse - sheep, for example.

See, and I wonder how much of that is owed to the "ELVES DON'T USE HAMMERS!!11!" thinking of Warhammer days of old.

We didn't have people saying boo about White Lions during the later years, because it was just there for so long.

I think its also because the models aren't actually out yet. Sometimes a model looks "wrong" in photos or as an idea, but people's impression of them changes when they hold them. Heck the "I hate horns" helms could easily be modified with two quick clips of the clippers and a clean up.

Luminoth are sort of stuck until they get a "proper" release and then I hope things will improve for them.

These are the games being previewed

'Shadow and Iron' was literally the name of the previous AT campaign book, and there are odds and ends we never received from that release...transfers, bits, cards. Would be great to see those on the way along with previews of upcoming stuff.

However, I'm fully prepared for the possibility (probability?) that upcoming AT stuff will only be *another* Knight variant. Ooooooo.

Adding it to the OP.

Ugly models are something they're stuck with, and 'Well, actually, they're a stupidly named elemental totem cliche' doesn't help in any regard.
The explanation you've given honestly makes me think its worse than I thought, just for 'Aelementari' alone. I already knew they were going for an earth elemental theme, and they still look terrible with oversized hammers and cow masks.

"Shadow and Iron" and "Shadow, Iron, & Broken Realms" are not the same thing.

Doesn’t look like there’s an AT preview.

I think we're reading too much into a title...

The Orlock book is called House of Iron according to the Necromunda roadmap they published a while back.

I bet they'll detail the codex lineup over the next 6 months.

I'll never understand why they continue to waste time on Horus Heresy. I can't imagine that they actually turn profit on that game, I literally have not seen it played in years.

That will probably serve to both calm those at the front of the queue while aggravating those who don't get a mention. Hopefully, if you're right, the new fw books will be included. Hopefully they will have sane points instead of the randomness of CA2020.
