You know that guy actually looks like a good sculpt, I think I'd enjoy painting one.
Except that it's 48 fething dollars down here.
Feth that, I'd much rather just pick up those three drop dead gorgeous Infinity models I've been eyeing and have a few bucks left over.

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

Tzeentch is no longer a troll rumour. The lord of change kit has been ready to go for a while. The novel with tzeentch character on the front gives a clue as well as everyone knows GW wont put out art without everything that goes with it remember their over protectiveness of their IP? and the next 40k daemonkin book is tzeentch. So safe to say tzeentch will be seeing a release oh and you know with tzeentch being rather prominent in the end of the first source book and now in the book that comes out this saturday its a no brainer tzeentch will be coming soon
This is pure speculation on your behalf. And to keep throwing around those unfounded tzeench rumors as facts, is more or less trolling. If you have new info that verify a tzeench release I would like to see some reference or source. If you contradict one of the most reliable rumor mongers, you need to back it up proprly.
Off topic, I always chuckle at the expression "no brainer", because you can usually read it as either "you dont need a brain" or "you dont have a brain", no offence to you prsonally intended, though

Harry and Hastings have both talked about Tzeentch coming soon, so I'd say there's enough evidence to put Tzeentch in the "plausible" category. Obviously, though, things can change.

1). The next war to come will be the battle for the All Points, where Sigmars’ Grand Alliance fell apart previously as Nagash’s great betrayal was revealed.

So we should just take your word for it? While I understand that some reliable sources (I believe Harry is one of them) are saying that Tzeentch is in the works, it's the principle. Providing sources is standard practice for Medical papers and Statistical analysis (hell, even Wikipedia strives for sources and citations) and you think rumour discussion is above that? "He might be reliable to you but he means nothing to me" In that same vein, a rumour monger whose been near perfect (or is Sad Panda still at 100%?) so far matters more to most people than some no-name who won't bother listing his source that's "super-reliable, trust me you guys, I swear"

If anyone got the new WD can you tell me what skin colour the painting guide for the Exalted Deathbringer is? I really liked the variety of skin tones the Blood Reavers had but I was disappointed with the WD painting guide which only had the same white skin as the youtube guide.

You have that backwards. Sources are important for medical papers and statistical analysis because they are, you know, kind of important. It's not quite as big a deal if a rumour about an upcoming release for a game of toy soldiers turns out to be false...
People quite often can't or won't post their source as it can result in that source getting in trouble. It's up to you whether you choose to believe any given rumour or not.

I'm not too keen on the game, but there are some pretty sweet models in there.
Expensive and out of my reach. Which in this case is a good thing.
At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

BoLS is doing their usual trash. The only things they got right are the things actually printed in the damn book and don't require even a remotely cursory search in the actual Age of Sigmar boxed set.
#8 isn't "new". Blood Warriors are part of the main boxed set. The only thing "new" in the book is that there are two new options for them:
1) 1 in 5 Blood Warriors can take a Gore Glaive
2) You have the option for a full unit to take either Goreaxes and Gorefists or two Goreaxes. Taking two Goreaxes gives you a bonus.

I love these new kits coming out. The quality and style is great. Sucks that they are not true multi-pose minis.
Regarding Tzeentch talks, I am not convinced that all the Tzeentch artwork will not be followed by Tzeentch releases. However, I no longer believe that Tzeentch Daemonkin is happening.. at least not in September like BoLS says.
and if you know me by now, you know I want to believe

Note this pack doesn't have all the special rules for the various realms in it -- one assumes the themed tables at the event will have reminders of them.
Note
Army Size/Army Selection: Up to 100 models of any
kind.
ETERNAL VICTORIES
With the huge scope of the Realms, we in Warhammer
World will be taking the opportunity to do something
really special. Any results from the Campaign will be
recorded and used as future material in other Campaigns.
If the Crag of Eternal Torment is burned to ground, then
a later Campaign may revolve around armies trying to
take it back and rebuild it!
This makes our first Campaign extremely exciting, as
anyone taking part will have the first chance to shape
how Warhammer World runs it’s Campaigns for a long
time to come!
I think the 2nd part there is pretty cool.
although ones keeps having flashbacks to a chaotic storm or somesuch.
Still live and learn eh ?
A reminder of the various rules for people :
Spoiler:
Ghyran, the Realm of Life:
In all the battles, in all the infinite Realms, one thing is always true – life will find a way.
Once per turn you may restore a lost wound to a model if it has the colour green somewhere on it.
Shyish, the Realm of Death: The power of Nagash imbues every relic of death in this realm, driving them forward with relentless energy. Every model in your army with a skull or dead body on it may charge an extra 1”.
Ghur, the Realm of Beasts: Primal fury courses through those who can tap into the merciless energy of the magic of Beasts. If you own a pet and have a photograph of it (or any animal), once per game choose one unit; it may add +1 to it’s to Wound rolls this turn as they are overcome with feral anger.
Aqshy, the Realm of Fire: The burning wrath of this realm empowers your troops with a bloodthirst that can only be quenched in the blood of your enemies. If you are wearing the colours red, orange or yellow, once per game during the Hero Phase choose a unit. That unit may re-roll failed rolls to hit this combat phase.
Hysh, the Realm of Light: If you command the power of light, warriors gain lightning speed and can leave even trained and veteran warriors surprised and wrong footed at a moment’s notice. Once per game the Realm of Light allows you to choose which models fight first in a chosen combat phase if you can shine a light on the unit in question.
Chamon, the Realm of Metal:m160005a_99120202016_EmpWizards1_873x627
Strong eldritch forces inflict themselves on warriors fighting in Realm of Chamon. For those with the will to master it, Metal is a stalwart yet mutable ally.
If your models are made of metal, they may re-roll 1’s on their saves. If they are not, they may move an extra 1”.
Ulgu, the Realm of Shadows: Stare not into the Abyss, lest the Abyss summon forth a legion of warriors laden with dark and malevolent weaponry to wipe your forces from the face of reality. If your models are fighting in the shadow of other, larger models, then they gain +1 to their Wound rolls.
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Is GW aware of not all models being equally strong? I'm not that sure.
They are aware but they do not care. The game does not have to be balanced. The model limit is likely there only to make the games end in reasonable time.
That place is the harsh dark future far left with only war left.
2015/08/16 09:51:13
Subject: Age of Sigmar News & Rumors: Quest for Ghal Maraz pics pg60
The model limit basically means that as a Goblin or Skaven player, you get the finger.
/e: Wouldn't it be amazing to equip a local player with the most unfun army list you can gather and let him go there?We alone could come up with 20ish Bloodthirsters. I'd be in for it

Yes, those 25 rumor post, 100% correct, is 25 rumors more than you have to show for, thats why I ask for a reference. Saying tzeench is incoming next month is pretty hot stuf if you had any reference to back it up.
Like any rumour it'll be right or wrong. Changes are made all the time. Its pot luck.
I see, every time you contradict a rumormonger or state whats coming next, its just pot luck, and we should not pay attention to it. Got it Actually I kind of agree with the above, if only you could aply it to your own speculations and dont act like you know whats about to be released when its actually just a try to get a lucky shot.
But like you say, you dont owe me anything, and I dont need to take your word for it. The internet is big enough for both of us Happy wargaming!
