life.

honestly If I could just have a 10 man unit of vampire infantry so i can use my reaper collection, that'd be swell.


I collect:

Grand alliance death (whole alliance)

Stormcast eternals

Slaves to Darkness - currently Nurgle but may expand to undivided.

It would have been nice of them to show the side that wasn't foreseeably in the starter box. I guess with the revision to the Sigmarine look at least there's some surprise there. It'll be good to see 360s of the spear boys and girls. They seem to look pretty cool. The mountain of armor, not so much.

Biggest thing about this is that maybe Destruction gets the same treatment in 3rd ed as Death got in 2nd ed and stops being the trash alliance.

Yes its more Stormcast.
*shrug*
That said they are(so far) very cool looking new Stormcast and IMO a big improvement on the existing style.

Well after the Vampire release, and assuming that they release a new cross faction plastic vargheist; that will mean that Death is fully complete in terms of plastic support, modern plastics and no finecast. Sure Flesheaters and Ossiarchs are still on the "small" size in army diversity, but they are very functional forces in their own right. Indeed Death will be the first and only "complete" Grand Alliance in terms of being fully updated. So that leaves the table ripe and open for Destruction to get some Attention.

Chaos is honestly not that far behind. All four of the core Chaos Gods have had nice updates so far; Beasts are in not a bad spot, which leaves Skaven open for a big update to push them into modern plastics for more of their range.

Last Sigmarine release prior to Garrus Vakarian this year was 2018, 3 years with no models seems like decent gap?

As for the opponents, I wonder if it won't just be beasts of chaos, but like...done well this time?

The teaser is suuuuper blatantly Fimir. To the point that the only way it isn't Fimir is if GW intentionally wanted to misdirect.

Yeah im thinking FIMIR too but we never know, it may well be spidergobbos with all those eyes splashed on the artwork.

Either way if done right this new starter is probably going to sell like hotcakes.

GW does that a lot Seraphon have had multiple models in the rumour engine that all turned out to be dead lizard skins on models - one was even on a space marine!
That said Fimir are way back into the Zoat era of wargaming. GW have shown that they are keen to bring stuff back from those times, but at the same time its such an old reference that it might be GW is going somewhere else entirely. There's been talk of those insectoid "silent ones" and such as well and it could be them instead; or marsh gobboes and spider scuttling gobbos and such.

I'd much prefer any of those things to Fimir, myself! I don't understand the grognards' fascination with them.

Me neither. To me they were always just one random enemy from WHRP, it has to be the same weird obsession as with malal, the god of nostalgia after 80s.

I would be happy either way since Orcs and Goblins and Stormcast are my main factions.

Those 3 shield faces on the artwork banner do look so green skin.

Its safer for GW to release a flavour of goblins rather than an "extinct" faction in a starter. I wonder if they do an Indomitus thing and then break it down in smaller boxsets.

Well they did have some Forgeworld models for a time and even a hint that FW was going to expand them into a full army. Much like Chaos Dwarves and squats they are something that was that captured the imagination of some, but which have never arisen in a big way since the early days. They have stuck around long term and remained in the background.

Heck GW has been teasing people with Exodites for near on 30 years.


GW has a lot of these things that hang on and whcih have their own loyal and dedicated fanbase eager to see GW release them and to see what GW would do with them (and eager to see every rumour and hint as proof that they are coming).

I'm all for some spider goblins (preferably forest goblins and not scuttlings), but I think we'd know from the teaser. They'd have definitely added some creepy insect scurrying noises as a teaser. I do think we could be getting something Greenskin related. One of the new Slimcast appears to be standing over a traditional orc-y glyph

Are fimir really that outdated and old? Forgeworld brought them back, before canceling the line after only a unit and a champion. They were chaos followers and even popped up in Total War Warhammer. I'm not sure if they've been teased anywhere in AOS though; I figured the Fomoroid crusher was the reimagining of them, given his one eye and similar name.

I'm not saying Fimir or bust, but truthfully even if I didn't remember Fimir from way back when I'd take an entirely different race over another variation of goblin without a second thought. I'd take killer squirrels over more goblins if it gave Grand Alliance Destruction a little more breadth.

I'm not a grognard and I dont remember the Fimir, so there's no nostalgia element for me rooting for them to come back.

It all boils down to the fact that they have GREAT design. They just have this wonderful presence of being baleful monsters full of ill intent even better then most of the chaos stuff does.

Honestly I think it's a huge pity they were damned by the twin sins of bad rules and bad-taste fluff.

Did they give more specifics when they think the 3.0 will be released? The only thing I remember from yesterday is the "coming months" and that can mean anything.

No, but there are supposed to be two more preview this month so i think it's pretty likely it will be out soon, maybe even mid june-soon.

Unlikely gw would release it sooner than editions in general let alone now...

Also the sigmar coin is this month..

Its very difficult (with all the vampires and kragnos) but it would be nice if we have a preview of the full box next week or the next.

Preorder of the box 29th

And 29th other preview/celebration talking a little about the future of the edition, and other units that these 2 armies will have (maybe in one month or more)

something like that they did with 40k right?

I do not think it will happen, but it is the only explanation I can find for the sigmar coin, and that there are 2 more previews this month.

GW already has a campaign book and Vampires to get out of the door for AoS before 3.0 lands. I would estimate that as they typically look at a 3 month window for previews that 3.0 will come around late July/August period.

That might be a month or so later than originally planned, but is still well within the summer period.

I remember, FW on their stream once said that if anything goes out from their range, it might someday return in another form. So far this was true with Zone Mortalis and their paint range. So I don't see any reason why Fimir can't be another thing GW has taken under its wing.

A better example would be the renegade psyker that just got repurposed into a necromundan bounty hunter. FW stuff does return, albeit rarely. The rogue idol came back, for example. But still no chaos war mammoth

It's designed in the same ecosystem so some stuff comes back and some won't. Partly because what we get starts out likely in the same body of designs and inspirations at the back end.

Well, the developer interview told us they're going to be the biggest and best Age of Sigmar rules ever, and we're all going to love them. So there's that!

I assume with 3.0 being announced, Vamps won’t release before that, right? Or will they release them before 3rd with a 2.5 book?

I’m really intrigued by them! And there would be something very cool about knightly Stormcast fight vampires and skellies and zombies.
