Maybe - between quality of pic and quality of layout that could be anything.
I'm calling shenanigans on this 'leak'. If this was new wouldn't the entries be for Seraphon, Aelves and Ogors instead of Lizardmen, High Elves and Ogre Kingdoms? Or more likely for the faction names?

Have you thought about the Axis of Evil pension scheme?

Not necessarily. They specifically said they're supporting the models in the legacy PDFs.

There will be points for all "old" miniatures. And in GW web there are the warscrolls called lizarmen, high elves, etc etc

I know the legacy stuff is getting points but unless they're having an entire legacy list that's separate from the AoS lists why would they duplicate the entries?
Maybe I'm wrong but this feels like a fake, or at best an early draft.

At least the unit entries match with the legacy warscroll units. Although tjere are four warscrolls in the app under lizardmen and three in the pic. Seems that Tenehuin or Oxayptl (can't read the pic entry) is missing.

If its 200 points for either the minimum size or the maximum size, why would you not take the maximum... Unless they are also throwing in some model count limit over all...
At least one of the comps does something similar. Points are for min size. You can have more figures by paying a multiple of minimum. But there is some upper limit on how many figures in a unit. (No units of 80 Skeletons, etc.).

Would guess that it's like in scgt or clash comp. I.e. Max unit size and the cost is for the minimum unit. So you can have 10-40 skeletons, but 40 costs 4x10. Hopefully it also includes the option that you can deploy them as you wish. Se 40 skeletons could be two units of 13 and one of 14 etc.

Probably best not to start calling things BS before you actually know what they are.

I really hope that they drop the min's and max's and just have points per model. i.e. a precision cost system, not a general hand wave system.
After all, they released AoS formations that specify specific unit sizes (6 models per unit, 8 models per unit, etc.). It will suck if their points system doesn't support their own formations.
Also, since we didn't see the whole document, its hard to tell whether they are including unit champions, banners, stakes for Bretonnian archers, and other add-ons as part of the unit cost.

Plus how are they going to factor in buffs from nearby characters e.g wright kings making a skelly so much more dangerous or the effects of a banner or 2 in a unit and drums/musicians.
This of course was the big problem with the old system and i would not like to have to sort it in the new one. Which ever/how ever they do it some people wont be happy and the whole merry go round will start again.

Please let me play with all my other toys with the ones in this box!
If that part comes true, so help me I will kiss every single Dakka member. Also, I promise i'll do a give-away of a copy of the game if Dakka's rules allow. That's how happy I will be if the game offers gameplay beyond just the simple one-box contents.

Love the heroes. Not sure about Tzeentch. The horrors seem to follow the current design. I guess Mark Harrison is doing the Tzeentch stuff then. It seems very likely there will be more than 4 heroes since the heavily rumoured Ogor is not shown. It is high time we saw some pics of the minis.

I'm literally freaking out here, like some kid again. I just feel like running around in circles, and yet I am so much in disbelief that I am waiting on the other shoe to drop.... namely it just being a cheap one-off game without any of the campaign/progression stuff, and more-so, not having hooks for adding other monsters/heroes/etc...

Being able to use the rest of the AoS range(within reason) as hero's and adversaries would add a lot to a boxed game. Heck GW could take a leaf out of the FFG Imperial assault play book and pop out new hero's(that could also be used for AoSofc) further down the line. Either way I have to go squeee for a bit

My money's on that being a reformed Chaos marauder/warrior of some sort, not a Pit Fighter.
