I can live with the priest from Silver tower being an exceptionally big guy and the mortal followers of the dark gods being roided out on Chaos power(the Arcanites having a secret Hulk form is a nice fluff justification). But I just hope that when they do finally get round to any new "normal" human forces there not able to look a Stormcast in the eye without a step ladder.

Has there been any news on the Brets yet?

They are described as such in the novels, at least.

That doesn't stop Gaurdsmen and SM models almost being the same height. I realy want to see some mortal heros tho.

I wouldn't worry about it. The priest model is significantly smaller than the Chaos or Stormcast models.

Played the new Escalation last night. Judicators suddenly seem like not the best Battleline when they're forced to deploy 9" in front of anything else (not forced to, I guess, but you want those objectives).

It's pretty fun. Forces different deployment and mindset about getting things into position. I really do love how every mission feels like it encourages a different list.

The Matched play game from yesterday's WarhammerTV, which used an escalation scenario, was great fun to watch. A summon-heavy Tzeentch army vs. classic Duardin with no Ironweld steampunkery. Seemed like a few key dice rolls played a big part .

And it was awesome seeing the Duardin army. I dislike Ironweld and didn't realize leaving them out was feasible.

A GW guy said the Warrior Priest is an eight foot-tall giant, so normal humans should be a lot smaller.

The Excelsior Warpriest? As far as I could tell from his description in the game manual, he was just a normal, albeit extremely devout man.

Sounds like a Khorne Slaughterpriest to me, theyre big boys.

He's a normal human, he just happens to be exceptionally tall. So it's true to say that an army of non-Chaos humans would likely be shorter than him.

Indeed, he's been mentioned to be a tall warrior which suits the position on warrior priests in AoS as they're usually heroic leaders of warrior tribes or kingdom remnants that fight for survival and maintain their faith in Sigmar.

With the growing power of Order driving chaos back (barely) and cities and provinces being made I wonder if the Devoted will eventually bring in more civilized forces instead of just ragtag fanatics? Warrior priest regiments and cavalry, yes please.

Nothing yet but a few background hints like the Three Duchies(most likely gone now), a kingdom known as Volpone that had knights and a sacred river(heavily damaged) and the Flesh-Eater court's Bretonnian-like delusions.

My guesses are either the reveal of what's in the realm of light(ex.Teclis did worship Lileath and human & aelf knights fight together for Azyrheim while worshiping both Sigmar and Tyrion) or just the Free People settling down and making new kingdoms with some looking remarkably similar to Bretonnia.

I wonder if we really are getting a new Lord of Change.

I feel we would of seen an image of big bird by now.

Yeah, I am surprised we haven't seen any new Tzeentch Daemons yet. With the Blue & Brimstone horrors being available for AoS and 40K and a LoC being pictured on the cover of the Disciple of Tz book, NOW is the time for those minis to be released.

Well the GW guys said something about "Tzaanuary" yet the 1st week is nearly up with no release. We usually get leaks/hints about stuff at least 1 week in advance, so that knocks off another week.
So it looks like that "4 weeks of Tzeentch" is really only 2 weeks of Tzaangor stuff. We've either been lied to about the 4-week release, or half of that is in February, not January

I got all excited when they announced Disciples of Tzeentch, but after the initial models shown, we've had nothing but silence.

I'm surprised as well. I expect to have a few more leaks at this point, but GW does tend to focus on one release at a time, and Fall of Cadia Part 1 comes out first, so all of the news has been focused on that. There has also been a major holiday since all the leaks, and GW took some time off with it. I imagine we'll start seeing Tzeentch leaks late next week.

In the new WD on the front page where the editor gives his thoughts I believe I read that the Tzeentch releases will continue in the next white dwarf. Likely saving the Lord of Change for that one.

Nice of them to throw Kairos Fateweaver in there too. Feels like they fudged it with the Bloodthirster and Skarbrand.

Tzeentch has now stolen my wallet with that post.

That is one amazing sculpt!

Also the fluff sounds pretty awesome as well since tzeentch is going to focus on what the normal people are doing since tzeentch is waging warfare through cults and intrigue via corrupting people in the newly built cities.
