The Warhammer underworlds stuff usually translates over to aos doesn't it?

Because I definitely need more troggoths and bat squigs in my life.

The branding doesn't seem right for that. This is Realm of Chaos: Wrath and Rapture, rather than Age of Sigmar: Realm of Chaos. I would expect another Realm of Chaos box, pitting Tzeentch against Nurgle. Get both boxes, play the Great Game.

You should work for GW's marketing.

Kinda?

They usually get added in as some kind of unit(or in the case of the Fyreslayers: units) that aren't amazing outside of the models.

Speculation on my part for what we'll see, bolded are the ones we've already seen:
Sacrosanct Chamber
Nighthaunt
Moonclan Grots
Some form of Aelf--I'm leaning personally towards Wanderers(there's been a Nomad Prince trapped in Shadespire for quite some time it seems ). Since I can't see a second Stormcast team this time around, I'm leaning towards Aelves taking their place.
Kharadron Overlords--We know they've looted Shadespire! They found a mirror containing an incredibly vain soul, and then the Overlords who pillaged it disappeared.
Tzeentch Arcanites--It's a city full of magical artifacts. If they're not trying to pillage it, they're doing it wrong.
Seekers of Slaanesh--This is a bit off the cuff but it seems like an appropriate place for them to make an early appearance. Shadespire, like Slaanesh, is 'trapped' between two Realms. Maybe they went there to try to find Sigvald's soul trapped in that mirror and ended up trapped themselves--or maybe they think they found a backdoor into Slaanesh's prison?

The Briar Queen from Nightvault has already been mentioned in the Nighthaunt battletome (pg. 19):

THE BRIAR QUEEN

The Briar Queen – nemesis of the cursed city of Shadespire – is unleashed by Nagash to menace other lands. She is tasked with claiming certain souls that have cheated Nagash. With the aid of her spectral army – the Thorns of the Briar Queen – she visits each of the Mortal Realms, always bringing back her target’s soul. Between missions the Briar Queen returns to Shadespire, for her need for vengeance there remains unsatisfied.

Hopefully her rules for Age of Sigmar has her as a Hero and not just a unit.

Yep! I wonder what else we might get...

*crosses fingers for Shadowblades to be present and get a new unit*

Is it time we admitted to ourselves that all the buzz around Moonclan was based on Underworlds and there will be no grots or fungus-based airships between Beastmen and Slaanesh?

Well, it just might take another year. We had Idoneth rumours 1.5 years before release (as Cthulu Sea Elves).

I could live with that. The sooner Slaanesh comes, the better.

I second that.

This preview covers the next three months or so, so I doubt we're getting Moonclan before Christmas. I still have faith though.

I see what you did there!

Maybe?

(Not sure if I want to know if you did that on purpose or not... )

Anyway, you're right, as this would be a great place to start the...slow build up to a Slaaneshi release.

BoLS and Spikeybits both said it’d been squatted!

So did Dakka.

Dakka?

Again, there is no "Dakka" in the sense that you mean it.

So, who actually said that then?

There were people on Dakka that said that, yes. And there were people like myself and Auticus who told them they were wrong.

I did not, but oh god that was a mistake...

It may be the daemons come in the front and the mortals come in the rear of the release schedule.

Dude, you didn’t even TRY to subtly slide that one in there!!

I'd love to see something for Khorne that fit between Bloodletter and Bloodthirster. Flesh Hounds are going to be nice, but I'd love to see something Beast of Nurgle size that could function as an independent monster that isn't centerpiece model priced.

At this point for Slaanesh, I'm of the anything goes mindset. Much like Slaanesh itself.

Unless a Mod locks it up and or deletes it, yes it's Dakka who says it. It's up to the mods what they let on this site. So if they leave it on the site, then it's Dakka who says it. Just like when people say "I read this on Bolter" or "Bolter said this" it's all the same. Dakka is a place to come for rumours so if anything is posted on Dakka and a Mod didn't delete it, then Dakka said it.

Just like when mods delete pics and links.

That... Is not the same thing at all.

I guess I look at it in a different way. I will say no more. We can alwasy make a new thread in Dakka Discussions if we need to.

*edit*

So no new minis for Beastherds? Just making sure just in case I missed a few posts.

There was no official stance made by Dakka, only opinions posted by forum users. BoLS and Spikey made official stances as sites. Those are not the same thing, basic definition.

"The sky is the same color as the ground."
"No, they are different colors."
"I guess I look at it a different way."

Exalted!

Also, can't wait to see all the new Exalted Daemon stuff releasing...soon?

I don't think the airships will be fungus based. The way it seems is that Moonclan (the future night goblins) are going to be a more separate from the Sky faction of goblins (Future Forest Goblins? Smarter Snotlings? Who knows!)

Would be hilarious if they pulled a concept thrown out in Warhammer Online. One of the proposals for transportation for the Orcs and Goblins was an airship where the ballon was an inflated squig with a rope tied around its bum-hole. They would loosen the rope for "propulsion". It sadly never made it into the game

Wouldn't that be the Bloodcrushers and/or Juggernauts? Demon princes, Heralds on chariots also sort of fill that role.

While Princes and Heralds fill the role I'm thinking of, I'm just going to feel greedy and want more new Khrone stuff just because.

Hell, I probably have more proxy Bloodthirsters than I do official ones at this point...

Furies could use an update as well.

As well as a new Fiend and of course Keeper Of Secrets, what I really want for Slaanesh
is some kind of additionnal sprue for the deamonettes with:

-Heads (the more "human" ones with) with smiling faces (to actually try to lure something...)
-A pair of bodies with "dancing" poses
-A arm with a short, curved sword

This will make them fare more interesting to build in my opinion, and the sprue
could be used for the seekers too!
