Yup same Death or Tzeentch I feel those two really need an update.

Arcanites would probably get points and a box for the Silver Tower Cultists, not sure what else though.

I would imagine Battletome: Tzeentch Arcanites would accompany a release of several new boxes. If the pattern holds, some kind of big beastie, a couple of new characters (hopefully including a wizard that doesn't suck or require a special piece of scenery), and some new regiment boxes, which would very likely be dual-kit.

I'd be happy with an affordable bulk-box of Blue Horrors...

You can basically rest assured that we'll see:
Ogroid Thaumaturge
Gaunt Summoner on foot
Kairic Acolytes boxed set

I would love to see any of those, but considering that good, multi-piece kits of the Deff Koptas and Chaos Cultists have yet to appear, I have a feeling like they would rather sell those in a $150 box to anyone interested.

And yet we've gotten "good, multi-piece kits" of:
Stormcast Liberators
Stormcast Retributors(Paladins box)
Bloodreavers
Blood Warriors
Deathwatch Kill-Teams

We've also gotten general releases of:
Broodlord from Deathstorm
Terminator Captain from Deathstorm
All four of the Assassins from Execution Force


It's anyone's guess really, but the stuff in Silver Tower barring the Kairic acolytes and Tzaangors(the other thing I think we'll see a multi-part box of) is laid out in such a way that it can all be released individually. Each character was their own sprue.

Considering they refused to give points to the units so that people wouldn't need to buy multiple sets of silver tower for them, I think they might have something planned for the Acolytes at least.

Our first live-streamed event begins tomorrow.
Join us from 10:00 UK time, when we'll start reporting from the first ever Warhammer Age of Sigmar Matched Play event at Warhammer World.

Anyone have zone-adjusted start times? I'd like to watch if possible.

Are you East Coast, Midwest/Mountain, or West Coast?

East Coast is UTC -5 hours(10am would be 5am here)

Midwest, so 4am... That sucks. I really hope there are VODs.

My local GW store manager said that the Beastclaw Raider book is a sell-through item. Seems kind of odd since it just came out. Think they would cancel a print run for typos? Maybe copyrighting? I couldn't imagine them pulling a line so soon after release.

What do you mean by "sell-through"? I don't understand.

A sell-through item is an item that will not be replaced in its current medium. For instance, most of the old Warhammer models are "sell-through" items. Note: it is also marked as "out-of-stock" online.

Thank you for your explanation.

It is marked as 'Temporarily Out of Stock'. GW items go 'Temporarily Out of Stock' all of the time and return to the online store. Its when it is marked as 'Sold Out' (e.g., the Orc Warboss on Wyvern) that the item is likely gone for good.

Understood, but the manager says that the word came down from on-high that it is sell-through, so she won't be able to order them once she is sold out. *shrug* Just didn't know what people thought.

Is it hardback? If so, they'll retire that and release a soft cover afterwards. That has happened before.

Another possibility is that they wanted to sell through the initial books so that they could go back and add Allegiance, Factions, new spells and magic items like they have done with the newer books.

Beastclaw already has those. They're extremely good.

This is more likely.

No, it's already softcover.

Edit: Nevermind, only the German version is already SC, English is HC.

if the rumors hold, then I wouldn't be surprised if the big beastie turns out to be a lord of change with multiple builds, like the bloodthirster

The big beastie for Tzeentch Arcanites likely wouldn't be a Lord of Change, given that the Arcanites are the mortal forces of Tzeentch. After all, none of the Bloodthirsters are included as part of the Khorne Bloodbound.

This isn't to say they wouldn't release the new Lord of Change at the same time, but I would expect some kind of beastie to go alongside it.

Now I'm trying to picture some sort of arcane bird hybrid version of a Korgorath.

Copied from the Genestealer thread:


Next hero pack for Silver Tower and hero cards! I hope it's all the purchasable cards from the app!

Do we have any idea of what's included in the Arcane Heroes box?

They could easily do a double release of Tzeentch Arcanites + Tzeentch Daemons, since they're both relatively small.

I think the Tzeentch equivalent is the Ogroid Thaumaturge, and it would be pretty neat to see him get a separate release as well.

Doesn't fit with the hero name though.

My guess is: Battlemages, Grey Seer, Necromant and Weirdnob Shaman.

Oh, I wasn't talking about Silver Tower, I was addressing the conversation above.

I hope we get a Seraphon Silver Tower hero, personally.
