The ONLY reliable rumour was Sad Panda mentioning that more Tzeentch stuff is coming. Hastings popped up to say some stuff about 40k but admitted that he didn't know anything about AoS. Atia had not mentioned a thing.
What is interesting was that the Sylvaneth was not rumoured at all until the art tipped up at the open day.
Gw is, unfortunately, doing a pretty good job of keeping their Aos plans under wraps.

Still think that Slannesh/Aelves starters set/boxed game is coming soon...

I reckon the dwarfs sorry duardan need a starter box for fyreslayers, and to that need a new model like a large creature or artillery piece.
Also maybe see more steampunk style dwarfs?

Wonder if they have any more plans before Xmas for age of sigmar considering Prospero is coming

Tradtionally Dec is usely stuff like hobby and army bundles for the holiday gift giving season.

My bet is Tzeentch and Duardin stuff with the Duardin getting a dispossessed battletome and maybe a small leak of steampunk models.

Reasoning: -Tzeentch holds the realm of metal in an "iron" grip. Duardin will likely be the new Sylvaneth of rebelling against daemons.
-Duardin are rebels and realm belongs to daemons and traitors, no way to properly maintain machinery for steampunk action. Reliance on dispossessed forces and fighting method.
-Forces of Order are too powerful and other alliances need buffing up first before giving Order new models.

That's my thoughts, anyway.

We more or less know Tzeentch is coming, but I'm still not sure about any Duardin stuff. I just haven't seen anything but speculation with no actual source for a credible rumor.

True, just lots of rumors. Seems more likely than aelves and Slaanesh appearing soon, though. (IMO)

It is highly likely that the next major release will be Tzeentch. It follows the pattern of breaking out the components of the boxed game established by overkill, BAC and the assassins game. It is just a matter of when.

It looks like the Horus game will be coming after gsc. After that would seem like a good time to go back to Aos, with the beginning of the next campaign. That would leave Fenris part 2 to finish the year with Magnus the equivalent of last years Archaon. If we see anything else this year it will probably be the next stormcast subfaction. Of course I would love to see a new warhammer quest expansion but I think that was just wishlisting.

The steamhead Duaridin are a real aos faction that have been mentioned in passing several times in the books but I would not expect to see them so soon after the fyreslayers when there are so many other factions waiting for their time in the sun.

Hmmm looks like it might be a Stormcast? Like the headdress silhuette.

Looks like they learned their lesson from last time, this one really is just a silhouette, not just a contrast-adjusted photo.

YAWN. Just like 40K, getting tired of Stormcasts just like I am getting tired of Space Marines. Already looks like a Stormcast Eternals from a previous release. I really can't get excited for this. Let me guess, he will be in gold.

Only thing to speculate is mask or no mask. If mask going to even be more boring. At least with no mask might add some character to the mini.

I'm guessing it's a new kind of Lord Castellent? Looks cool from the silhouette but a single pack Gryph Hound would be more appreciated

They sould finally release humans ( "real" ones)!

Looks like it's finally time for a Lord-Relictor blister to get released.

Unless its a new Stormcast type my money would be on the Lord Relictor as well.

Seperate release of a new Lord Relictor hopefully.

Yep. I get that they are the "original" faction in AOS, but come on. They don't need to go the Space Marine route any further than they already have. Do they really need yet another character?

Besides, unless it has points it might as well not exist.

Guys it could be worse; it could be a Khorne Bloodbound character! But seriously, I'm happy with anything to Google after so long without an AoS model release.

Yeah, that's what I thought too - Relictor.

Definitely a Stormcast, only question is why do the pauldrons look smaller than usual?

@Kanluwen, That's a good point.

Be kinda cool if it was a female stormcast, or some kind of funky helmet design. Probably won't be, but we can hope.

Maybe he's not in the Stormcast Paladin style armour like the Ionus Cryptborn model.

So AoS is the next release and not 30k?

Instead of all this long waits, they should just do beginning two weeks of month is 40K release, last two weeks of the month AoS release or vice versa. This way everyone gets what they want in their gaming circle and not having months to wait.

^ that'd be nice.

Also, I'm getting a good laugh with the Facebook comments. They are almost identical to the Total War ones, "where's the love for the other armies", "give us a new army already!", "did you guys forget this game existed?".

The only difference is that the TW facebook gets about ten "where's Wood elves?!" posts between complaints.

Well, that looks to be boring. All ten enthusiastic stormcast players will be happy to get something they already got in the starter set?

Holy cow, there's only ten Stormcast players?!

Those guys are amazing with the hundreds of different Stormcast armies they constantly post here, Reddit, Facebook and a variety of hobby forums. When do they find time to sleep?

Anyway, I wonder what's the occasion for this release. Could it be a nod towards that rumored focus on a Death expansion for Silver Tower?

The headpiece looks similar to the knight questor's. Maybe a Relic questor version to journey through death's domain?

Actually

Age of Sigmar Rumors - May 2016
Hello everyone !!

We got this by a friendly raven :

summer campaign

-taking place in realm of life TRUE
-your battle results will be logged at a GW Web Station (the computer you order from when at a GW Store) to prevent skewing results like Eye of Terror did TRUE
-it will shape the setting when they write up future campaign books


future models

-in the general's handbook, there looks to be new sylvaneth models shown. i would take this with a grain of salt, as they could be very well done conversions, but from what i heard, there are models of aelfs whose limbs are turning into branches and plants, and new updated treemen (not treelords, the treemen who are bigger than branchwraiths but smaller than treelords)
-concept art shown of allariel riding what looks to be a giant rhino beetle? sounds interesting, possible future model? only time will tell

And this was before the Open Day

If you were to go by Mongoose Matt's and Pictors Studio's relentless AoS proselytization on every conceivable webspace, that might actually be true. They apparently don't ever sleep, instead spending every waking minute painting, playing, and writing about AoS.

That out of the way, I'm so looking forward to another iteration of an SE character that nobody plays in multiples. We got two scultps for the standard bearer and the musician, why not another for the chaplain? At four times the price, of course.
