However, I suspect this also means no more digital book support for AoS.
Wonder if this also means Warscroll Builder is going and being replaced with an AoS app with a horrible subscription model too :(
The 40k equivalent of Warscroll Builder is still available.

If there are cheap Orc halves on Ebay I might just have to buy one even if the number of people I know who play AoS continues to be very low.
(Admittedly I've said this through half a dozen AoS armies - but if its an Indomitus style release it may get cheap enough to be an irrelevance. Will I ever finish those Necrons? Odds are low..)

Define cheap? if this is $250 retail you are probably looking at $80-90 for a half.

Stormcast eternals

Surely you can hire staff (Family,friends) to do the purchase for you if you can't do it whilst at work?
Unfortunately the only person who I know for sure doesn't have anything better to do at 10am on a Saturday morning is barely computer literate. And there is a good chance he will have dozed off by then

No such thing as a flgs around here I'm afraid. At least not a non GW one, and that's stretching the definition of local.
But its not really a big deal. Dominion is something I would have liked to get. But I sure as heck don't need it. In a way its kind of a relief as it stops me getting swept up in the hype train.

I mean, if you're able to get online at work and don't mind doing it via GW? You can load up a virtual gift voucher on their webstore with the amount the set is once we see the price leaks on June 13th/14th.
Since you're in GBP there's no surprise amount like there is here in the US for tax, right?

Hm, if the new GHB is just matched play and points (plus endless spell warscrolls I can get elsewhere) that would save me the trouble of buying it but I would remain disappointed.
Mad props for arranging things such that AoS 3rd lands on the 3rd day of the month though!

Yeah, not impressed with the GHB reduced to pitched battles only. I was actually looking forward to at least the collected White Dwarf articles and other surprises.

True. If you don't play sce and have no interest starting orcs it's not too bad. If you do though you miss out on getting about 200e of one side for 160e. Plus book and other side.

Gets expensive that way.
Even if you like all of the box you don't need it and different people make different decisions regarding these fomo products.
Personally I will not get it and like OP I just avoid the stress/artificial hype and concentrate on other things.
This also means that even my interest in potentially getting these individual minis later, is placed so further back on my list that I will probably miss it all. Happened to indomitus, cursed city.
So yep I think this FOMO thing has the opposite effect on me and probably other folks too.
Its like cant get the box now, will look into it later, looks at prices of individual kits and thinks Meh! Never needed this in the first place and moves away, strangely happier and relieved.
Well. If you play sce you wgll end up losing more in the end withott them. Gw will make them eventually hotter than old models. Like sequitors replaced liberators etc

I understand that and I do collect them I have nice sequitor army ( the multipart sequitors are such a nice kit too) but I can live with that. Since I have the army these new models would be extras to it even if hotter.
Maybe will get multiparts of these one day, you never know.
In indomitus I kind of wanted a few of the models there but ended up disappointed with the prices and bundles they came up with after so my wolf boys got nothing in the end.
What im saying is the Fear of missing out kind of will not change how I think and act and strangely makes me less interested in getting new stuff as consequence.
I can guarantee you that there will always be a new better looking model coming in the future

They talked about it on the announcement stream.
That would explain why I missed it - I didn't see it in the article at the time, and had no interest in watching the stream, so this is the first time I'd seen anything about it.

It's quite interesting how they're doing the SCE releases in the starters now. My Marine collection is made from a bunch of different starters going from 2e to 6e. All of them are close enough in scale and design to be used together in one force, so over time I collected a reasonably sized marine army kinda by accident. I'm quite happy with it though and don't mind.
But the SCE each time have a very different aesthetic, and these ones look like a straight visual upgrade on the chonkier first release. I like them, but I already have the stuff from the first boxed set and plan on painting them up as elemental themed. So these ones don't really fit and therefore I have no real use for them. I think that's interesting because with the old 40K starters (and Fantasy starters that had O&G) I could just plop the minis into my existing armies without that feeling.
It's clear that SCE are supposed to be the Space Marines of AoS but the way the models have been done is a little different. I'd only be interested in the Orc half of this in any case. And even then, I don't need more orcs that don't fit with my existing collection.
I think the problem is the 1st ed sce were trying too hard to be marines and newb-friendly. Large, flat, undecorated surfaces and general tubby appearance to bulk them up, and it's clear to everyone (by the merciless ribbing and sheer amount of 2nd hand on-sprue sce on the market) that that take wasn't too popular, so now they went and made them more like other new armies- proportioned like functional bipeds, with details on the armor and shields.

I think In regards of SCE you pick one look style chamber and that is the majority of your faction then you can dip into other chambers for extras. Unlike marines they do look different enough so all chambers in one would look a bit chaotic. With that said I noticed that a small amend like changing the helmet to be the same on all makes such a dramatic difference on a stormCast.
As much as I like the new guys my Dracolines and sequitors still look better.
Anyone willing to take a guess on the contents of the parsed down Dominion Recruit, Command and Elite edition starter set equivalents that we will be getting for AOS?
I recall the 40k release of those sets was quite soon after Indomitus came and went as well.

Storm Strike, Tempest of Souls and Soul Wars have just gone "last chance to buy" so expect those new replacement sets sooner rather than later.

Well this is the breakdown of the sprues
3 Praetors - single sprue
5 Vindictors - small triple sprue
10 Gutrippas
10 Hobgrots - small triple sprue
Knight Arcanum - Killaboss with Stab grot - matched sprue
Lord-Imperatant with Gryph-hound - Swampcalla Shaman and Pot-grot - matched sprue
Yndrasta, 3 Annihilators, Knight-Vexillor with Banner of Apotheosis
Killaboss on Great Gnashtoof, 3 Man-skewer Boltboyz, Murknob with Belcha-banna
So the 3 boxes will be made of variants of those with the Knight Arcanum - Killaboss with Stab grot combo probably being in recruit and Lord-Imperatant with Gryph-hound - Swampcalla Shaman and Pot-grot combo in the other 2 sets with a mix of Vindictors, Praetors and Gutrippas and Hobgrots. Comman edition will get the new terrain as well.
The 2 big character sprues will probably get sold separately later for a large mark up.

Spoiler:
Going off of the unboxing video?
Knight-Arcanum and Killaboss wif Stabgrot are a joined frame.
Lord-Imperatant with Gryph-Hound and Swampcaller Shaman are also a joined frame.
Yndrasta, the Celestial Spear, is on a full frame with the Knight-Vexillor and Annihilators.
Killaboss on Great Gnashtoof is on a full frame with Murknob with Belcha-Banner and Man-Skewer Boltboyz.
Everything else looked to be individual frames.
I'm going to guess that the Knight-Arcanum and Killaboss with Stabgrot are going to be featuring in the "Recruit" styled set, alongside of Vindictors and Gutrippaz.
The "Elite" version is likely to be the Lord-Imperatant with Gryph-Hound and Swampcaller Shaman, Vindictors, Gutrippaz, adding in Praetors and Hobgobs.
"Command" will be that plus scenery, which we've seen teased.
I'll be curious to see whether Yndrasta is truly a unique character or just a name for a sculpt.
