Island of Blood is apparently making a come-back. From the War Of Sigmar blog:

Lady Atia wrote:Perturabos' raven told me today that we will see the former 'Island of Blood' set reprinted for AoS, pre-orders are up at December the 17th.

Perturabo wrote:Quick lore on the boxset:

" The Dawnspire stands at the edge of the Transient Isles. Immense, drifting islands of black stone hanging in the air above an azure sea, they were once the subject of foul sorceries, a powerful Chaos wizard seeking to bring them crashing down. The mages of the Eldritch Council were able to stop this foul ritual, but not before two of the islands were lost to the depths."

Name changes in the Elf side:
Prince on Gryphon became High Warden
Archmage still Archmage? ( not really sure on the IoB name)
10 Swordmaster
Lothren seaguard became Spireguard
Elliyrian Reavers became Reavers

So this is the info of what I have seen:
- Complete rule to be used in the game ( hopefully there is an update in the warscroll)
-Background narrative as always (again, hopefully we could see the lore of the elves in AoS getting more explanation)
- 2 Warscroll battalion and 2 Pitched Battle Profile, one for each force
- Round and square base for each model
- stated in the last paragraph : "Previously only available in Warhammer Island of BLood, this is another chance to own these superbly detailed and dynamic miniatures." It is stated as "Available while stocks last"

sounds strange for an AoS repackage/rebrand type of deal. Every other box that have been repackage/rebrand for AoS only includes round bases

**nudibranch**

Eh, I'm happy. That set had some gorgeous models in it, glad it's going to be available again.

Heh, I always wanted another HElf on baby gryph to convert (hey, compare him to the Empire War Griffon

) but never bothered to get one from ebay when hey were dirt cheap. And more of those awesome Rat Ogres on ebay? Yes, please.
