Ooh, very nice. Looking forward to seeing the models.

I don't think so...

The Sylvaneth, Darkoath, and Arcanites all have what look suspiciously like characters in their midst.

Well, she's a spellcaster that's for sure. And the Sylvaneth do have pointed ears and hair on the Tree-Revenants.

I'm leaning towards a new caster type for them that's focused on the Tree-Revenants.

Excited to see the Goblins and Darkoath. I expect we'll have to wait until the whole season is over before we get another set of models-only boxes, right?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh so awesome! Love all 6 of the expansion themes. Well done, GW!

Sylvaneth is going to take a spot for the elves.

Nice teaser. I can definitely feel the pull of Tzeench.

Oh indeed, they have pointed ears. But I mean, she's a lot more Aelvish than Treeish. As far as I'm aware, only Alarielle looks like that normally. So, who is this I wonder?

I've updated the OP and title

So stoked for these, it's exactly what I'd wanted to see (or even a bit better)! Love the diversity and quirkiness of what they've teased so far

Screengrabs.

Get yer screengrabs

You missed the Kharadron Overlords

Hmmm! Whilst I was really hoping for a Deepkin band (not a fan of the Sylvaneth aesthetic at all), the fungus troggoth set looks so insanely fantastic it makes up for it! The others all look so good as well - can't wait to see the models

Bummed we are not getting Freeguild, proper Elves (though the Sylvaneth look pretty cool), or Slaanesh. The Troggoth band looks interesting though. Kharadons are not my thing, but I've heard a lot of people want them, so that's cool.

Also, I'm so disappointed in that Darkoath concept art. Those may be the most boring "Chaos Barbarians" I have ever seen. Including the many GW knockoffs.

so F HOPE ... this means updated kit for marauders

They all just look like Tree Revenants to me. I think the one in the back is even male or at least, the shirtless spirit things they all are.

that kairic acolyte has their chest wrapped up in cloth and what appears to be breasts (while the side of at least one) under the left biceps so it does look like a female Kairic Acolyte.

Pretty pleased with these reveals. Glad to see Sylvaneth getting some attention. Not really interested in the other factions, personally, but I'm just glad that Khorne and Stormcast are taking a back seat (save for the starter set, but hey).

Could you upload the other 3 in that same format DaveC? Then I'll add them all to the OP

Also, that Troggoth has to be the wizard for his warband, which is epic! I think it also must be one of the first to release, since they've shown the Troggoth and the flying squig models from it already. So psyched!

Faeit have better shot

The troggoth look kinda mellow/sleepy/too friendly imo. The art give him a much more intimidating look

Getting a distinct Galadriel vibe from the Sylvaneth Leader.

Those Darkoath look... lacklustre compared to the two minis they have so far.

Wow!

The season two offerings are a whole lot more tempting than the season one stuff.

Pity there's no Daughters of Khaine team, maybe for season 3?

Art is dull, but it could still turn into some decent models.

Kharadron Overlords = Yup!

First people complained about the Darkoath Warqueen being too busy, now they're complaining about the Darkoath concept art being too plain. Never change, Dakka.

Also, if KO are getting a warband, it must mean Magic isn't the sole focus of this season.

Yeah no problem

EDIT updated to remove the ESC tab in the images

The artwork is pretty lousy in terms of quality to me. The days of GW putting out stunning artwork from in house artists feels like it's over. But at least these could turn out to be pretty cool models. This season is at least more interesting than the last. Too bad they didn't reveal the models for grots/tzeentch though.

I'd prefer the Darkoath be more like the Chieftain, not the Warqueen : Cool hair, good face expression, good natural pose.

My first thought was a more elfish looking Branchwych. But I think the Sylvaneth band could be a preview for new Revenant styled models as they currently don't have a bow option either. So she's probably a new Revenant character or unit leader type.

I'm in love with the Darkoaths- exactly what I wanted!!

I don't think it would be a unit leader type, but I do think you're on the money for a new Revenant character.

My hope is that the entirety of the Sylvaneth Warband will be actual characters for the Sylvaneth army rather than a unit.

Honestly I Iike the look of the Darkoath Chieftain and Queen, but those Darkoath are just so bland.....they look like half the existing barbarian minis out there if you took away cool helmets, interesting armor/fur, etc. The disappointment for me is that Darkoath very well could have been updated Chaos Warriors/ Marauder style barbarians (In the style of the old MMO would have been awesome) made to the quality and sculpting ability of modern GW. Who knows maybe the rest of the faction will not be as uninspiring as these ones?

The silver lining is that at least it's not more Stormcast/ Khorne.
