I have no sound right now, so what's this about? New campaign?

The Realmgate Wars are over, Nurgle is displeased and starts the Blight War.

Could be new Beast. But looks heavy cavalry to me.

Nice! Already liking the looks of this. If that sigmar's greatest assassin chick is a solid model, insta-buy. Maybe insta-buy anyways.
Nurgle stuff had me excited, but hopefully it crosses over to 40k.
Was just thinking today, why can't we have all the tzaangor cross into 40k? Would like to see Nurgle start that.
Also, hopefully the campaign/narrative book they release for this is as nice as they other stuff they've done.
The hype is real

Yeah it looks to be ridden by a Plaguebearer or Herald.

True



snail!!!!

wonder if these new stormcast are going to be the answer for those rumour engine lion head shoulder pads (and maybe the fur cloak too)

Could be the shown female Stormcast. Maybe a named hero, possibly one 'old' hero ressurected?
New incarnation of Valten?

Oh boy, more Stormcasts...

exactly... sweet!

Seems to be a single character so I'm good with it. Especially if we get a plague battletoam.

Whatever the Stormcast is, it seems to be a 'named hero'--specifically one referred to as "Blacktalon, Sigmar's chosen assassin".

Blacktalon seems to have a similar build to the Vanguard-Hunters, who really don't have a character that specifically ties to just them like the other variants have gotten

Both characters are shown in the artwork at the end of the video. A Herald riding a giant snail (with feet - those should be those from the romour engine) and... a Stormcast - maybe female.

Yep it's a snail, eyestalks and everything. I like the idea...just...MORE STUFF FOR CHAOS AND STORMCAST?

Cmon GW, what happened with death? Honestly...we haven't had a new model release since the end times because no, crypt flayers don't count. Why?

The releases seem broadly tied to the narrative.

I expect we'll get Death stuff soon enough. And at least we get some form of goodies in terms of rules and artefacts in GHB2. Not ideal, but still better than the nowt we currently get.

Age of Sigmar is literally built around the concept of Chaos versus the Stormcast. They are the heroes and villains to the central conflict with everybody else being tangential to it. So at least for the immediate future, you should probably get used to seeing them. And I, for one, will never tire of the Stormcast.

Oh whoop de do more nurgle......sigh.
oh and more stormcast......sigh!

Just watched the video on my PC -much easier to make out the models, and they look gorgeous. Blacktalon looks especially solid, and the artwork looks rightly ferocious

Why do assassins always have names like Blacktalon? Why are they never called Jessica or Philip?

I've been thinking this for a while, we aren't going to see any new Nurgle Daemons with the DG release but for the Rotbringers AoS instead but the new models will be available for DG too, my thoughts anyway.

My two main armies! Whoohoo

One issue here is that, in AoS, the Tzaangor are elite, so they get all the nice toys. In 40k, they are more like... cannon fodder

Oh no, who would've thought we will get an AoS Nurgle release with/after the Death Guard release. Totally unexpected!
And it looks just like 1 Stormcast hero, so nothing to complain right now.

I think it depends on what the Rotbringers or Death Guard get.

I've written it elsewhere, but what I expect to see as cross-compatible are:
Beasts of Nurgle
Great Unclean One and a named variant box
Pestigors

I haven't seen much mention of "Plague Zombies" in Age of Sigmar so they might be keeping them out of that side, since we have actual Zombies in the form of the Necromancers and their love for saying the magic words("Braaaaains....") and getting the dead to stand up.

This is in line with what I expect, and what occured with the Ksons release

Oh yeah I forgot they kept the Lord of Change for the AoS release, pretty certain then.

Man if they do release a new GUO and Pestigors......I love Gors of all shapes and sizes so I'd love Pestigors even more so.

It's worth mentioning again that the Pestigors are name-dropped as part of Mortarion's host in the main 40k rulebook.

Aye I only recently looked over the army compositions in the rulebook battles, the hype rose from seeing those guys.

Compared to the sons, DG are gonna end up with a load of stuff......and Rotbringers ofc.

I'm really looking forward to the next story instalments.

Sigmar had it mostly his own way during the Realmgate Wars, so to see if Chaos gets its act together at all in intriguing.
