I know from Warhammer-Community the Steam Tank and Hurricanum will be in the next tome for the Cities, but will the Steam Tank be able to be battleline with the Commander like it is now? I've got 4 unbuilt.
That's my main pondering, but also just kinda wondering if the Ironweld Arsenal will have a bit more support and effectiveness...I like Gyrocopters/Bombers too, but they're pretty bad right now.

Figure if the Hurricanum is just magical support, that's useful even without the hit buff aura. Would be cool if the Luminark stuck around too. I regret never trying 4 in the Living City for outflanking to get good lines for the beams.

Since they're getting rid of all the old human artillery, I suppose they'll be making some new stuff in that vein. I like the looks of that shooty guy on top of the pole on the Ogor; I bet that'll be a way to make the little shooty guys intercept enemies who come out of reserves and/or get bonuses to Unleash Hell.

There are some pics on Facebook of army set boxes in the wild. Might’ve already been delivered to folks in the content community (painters/reviewers/podcasters) and we may get some juicy leaks soon.

Ooh interesting, I'll go hunt for those.

I hope the tank brigade army is still an option (if not a viable one) because I have not yet gotten a chance to play against it!!

Its just pics of the box contents so far that I have seen. Nothing rules-wise or table of contents type stuff just yet, not even sprue pics. Thinking someone was flirting with the line of breaking an NDA or something.

Its in the AoS rumors thread in the N&R subforum.

Anything on Wahapedia or other Russian-hosted sites?

We haven't had whatever the pic is related to shown yet, have we? I want to know if that axe belongs to some heavier infantry style unit.

Might belong to a hero! Like some kind of paladin or something.

It wouldn't surprise me if they bring out a unit of 'initiate battle priests' or something like that!

I imagine we'll see a replacement for greatswords, personally.

Looks like we found out the answer with the leaked pics!

Indeed, nice looking character. Hoping there's one more heavy infantry kit that hasn't been leaked yet, but i suspect that's everything now.

It's worth noting that if Greatswords are left in as a unit(they seem to be), there's nothing stopping them releasing an updated kit out of rotation.

Has there been a table of contents or a sighting of Greatswords in the army book? I know Flagellants are pictured but I’ve not seen anything with Greatswords, but I haven’t been looking. I know the Greatswords kit itself was rotated out to find its place back in The Old World and no longer available on the GW US website that I can see.

Edit: Found a leaked pdf. Greatswords are not left in as a unit. No entry for them in table of contents.

Nice to see Anvilgard DEs found a home in Misthavn.

They may not be battleline anymore but at a 4+ save and healing 5 wounds a turn those Anvilguard Hydra are going to have a use...

not to mention the way they seem to have changed all of the monster flaming attacks. one attack per model in the target up to 10 attacks... yikes. same on the black dragon.
is this common and im just out of the loop? lol

They have been changing many 'breath weapon' attacks to be that way across multiple armies. Good change IMO, especially with limits to keep them getting ridiculous.
