Oh yes, those are Beautiful! If the chaos stuff is as good, budgets are being reprioritised!

The models don't look too bad but I would have to see them up close. However, they are not Warhammer nor faithful to the idea or theme of the game. Empire Greatswords --> those lads. That's a big jump 
From a marketing perspective it seems a cunning move from GW as the whole look of them is much more closely aligned to their 40K range with conversion appeal for space marine armies.
Yeah, I imagine the number of Blood Angel/Minotaurs armies will go through the roof when this lands, to say nothing of the Chaos armies! (seriously, just take a pic of the next page...  )

Meh, not my cup of tea. But I never had much interest in Empire or Space Marines (except when I was 13).
I like the mounted general.
If my friends pick this up, I'll play it.
I'm much more curious now about the factions I do like... if they are going to get a visual update also... eventually.
As it stands, I think my Dark Eldar would fit in better than my Dark Elves.

No, it definitely couldn't be anything along the lines of an army powered by a manifest god saving humanity from the evil of the chaos gods.
Those types of things never existed in Fantasy.
Yes... and guess what, the fluff's moved on. 
In a pretty bad way, it seems.

A few repeat poses in the picture, do we speculate at snap-fit or limited pose like a lot of recent plastic releases?

Not so much moved on as been completely butchered to extract those last few dollars from SM "enthusiasts" it seems.
Ah well, seems like I was holding on to my last Fantasy army in vain, time to get rid of it as well.

Before that gets interpreted as a rumour, it was just a guess based on a limited understanding of what happened in Fantasy and what this looks like. I have no idea what the fluff is, I was just giving an example of how they could fit into a post apocalyptic struggle.

My first set is going probably be just done for Fantasy, but if these guys end up as cheap as normal starter set stuff, more Sanguinary Guard are definitely happening!

I'm guessing snap fit, simply as they're in a starter.

Games Workshop saw that Space Marines made a lot of money.
Clearly, changing everything into Space Marines will increase sales for WHF (if we can even call it that now).

So that was their idea for "saving" Fantasy; killing it dead, and then using the opportunity to try and sell more models to Space Marine players to use in their 40k armies under the guise of a new game.
Not a fan...

Just for lulz, here's what Steve the Warboss posted 2 days ago
Age of Sigmar Contents
1x Empire General on Griffin
5x Knights of Sigmar
10x State Troops with Spears
10x State Troops with Muskets
1x Lord of Khorne on Daemonsteed
5x Chaos Knights
10x Chaos Warriors
How unfortunate to be making gak up at the last minute like that.

With an explosion of light and thunder, a new age of war has begun. The warriors of the God-King, unleashed upon shafts of magical lightning have arrived in the Mortal Realms, striking the first blow in a war of vengeance.
