Wow. More Stormcast stuff. That's *yawn* amazing.

Wonder what the Stormcast release could be? From the AoS box, only a Celestant on Dracoth is missing so maybe a dual kit with Dracoth/something other?
Some war machines maybe? A ballista or cannon would fit with the Judicators.

I sold my Stormcast to focus on my Chaos so I'm not very excited. I DO hope that they get something that looks unique and not just more Guys with Different Weapons.

Never honestly bought into the Stormcast bashing myself, so this release should be interesting. More interested in Orcs and Goblins though.

Stormcast scouts?

Maybe something to do with the new Stormcast character that was introduced in the last campaign book.

Whilst Stormcast aren't for me, I cannot deny they look good on the battlefield. Played against them twice yesterday.

While I quite like the aesthetic of the Stormcast, they are rather lacking in variety visually. Some war machines or cavalry or the guys from the art at the end of Balance of power would be good.

Or even some Storm Cast girls - shock horror..............names at least would be nice..................

Maybe a Sigmarine inside of a Sigmarine a la 40K centurions?

Nope. Prosecutors(winged guys) fill the scout role. They fly ahead of the Stormhost and provide recon.

Aren't these Castellants?

Isn't an important part of that to be... you know... stealthy? I mean I guess scouts don't HAVE to be, but having some sort of reconnaissance force that can remain undetected by the enemy for a prolonged period of time is just as important as being able to see the fields ahead of your advancing army.

Not necessarily. Modern armed forces have mechanized scout divisions which are mounted in things like the Stryker LAV.
In any regards, the Prosecutors could fill the scout role for the Warrior Chamber. We know there are more Chambers, and we know that the Knight Venator(the super Prosecutor with a monsterslaying bow) is a hero who acts as an assassin/huntsman.


Regarding scouts, that was actually one of my biggest annoyances/frustrations with the Stormcast Eternals range once we had their completed release range. Everything ended up with the exact same profile when you looked at them on the tabletop. Lighter armored scouts with cloaks/hoods would go a long way towards breaking up the visual boredom.

They really would have.

How about a stormcast strapped to the front of a Collossus

If Orcs are coming up soon then I'm mostly disappointed because it means I have to decide quickly whether I want to buy enough models to finish off my Orc and Goblin army or just throw it out the window

There's also no Lord Relictor outside of the starter box. I think more significantly, some Stormcast add reinforces the idea that factions will be receiving add-ons as we go, rather than waiting exclusively for the big release cycles of old.

They fly pretty high and I imagine their field of view is pretty good if they're "sigmarines"

The Virulent Horde £105 €140
Realmgate Wars: Warbeast
Legends of Sigmar
No reason to doubt this so close to release. It is good to see more start collecting boxes.
According to Lady Atia's blog, the hint for the following week is knights in shining armour. So probably a new version of the Dracoth. If is true that green skins are coming in April, that is quite a lot of releases in a row for AOS.

Maybe its some sort of mounted on dracolings unit.

As for O&G its still the wait game and it will collide with salute so I need to plan this right.

Yay for another start collecting box, best thing GW done in a long time.

After every Pestilens unit I've painted, I've told myself that's the last time I'm painting Pestilens. A start collecting set could continue this horrible cycle.

This is a Painting Guide hint. It does not have to be related to the release of new models

Which WDW is that?

If they really wanted to continue the Space Marine parallel, they need a Stormcast Dreadnought.

This teaser is in the next issue, 110.

Next week painting hint is "Knights in shining armour". Next week issue hint is "The Chamber Excélsior opens". Confirmed.

Sounds like the first Stormcast Eternal preorder is in one and a half week.

Thanks, Sad Panda

I'd like to see more stormcasts, especially a not-dreadnought .. but just thinking about how much it will cost fills me with woe and despair

Wow the start collecting boxes must be really popular! I know in my local GW they are constantly selling through the Lizardmen, Skitarii and Tau boxes.

Nice to see a cheaper battletome too. £20 sounds much more like it.

My first thought when the teaser said "knights in shining armour" was Dracoth Knights. Which would be pretty sweet! I suspect, though, that it's foot infantry.

more foot infantry!? I guess we don't have Stormcast with axes or... um, glaives or something yet.

I agree with all the comments about the range needing something to break them up visually.

Thin, nimble scouts in light armour and with cloaks and hoods (and on 32mms) sounds awesome in my eyes!
