Heh...and people said exactly that about the Deepkin in Daughters of Khaine.

Not many people though, considering Idoneth Deepkin were mentioned in the Daughters of Khaine book as an army they can ally with. That’s a fair bit more concrete than just being mentioned in the lore of the book.

Apparently due to some reveals in the Slaanesh Battletome the next new army to be released for AOS is likely to be from Hysh lead by Teclis.

“...Teclis begins to gather armies of his own. He amasses the martial orders of the Realm of Light, and invokes ancient pacts with the spirits of Hysh to bolster his gleaming warhosts for the new era of conflict to come.”

Is this from one of the newer army books? Older material would have pictured Tyrion in charge of the Hysh offensive, however, Teclis making pacts with the Hysh spirits is interesting and rather fitting. Heh, wonder if he bonded the spirits with the broken souls he got out of Slaanesh, would make interesting things, perhaps this is where the "avatars of reason" come in.

If we're making a wager when they'll appear, put me down in early 2020.

It’s from the new Slaanesh Battletome. Tyrion is of course mentioned just as much as Teclis in the book, marshaling the Hyshian Aelves to fight The Hedonites in an earlier encounter and so forth about Slaanesh’s capture. It is said though unlike his sibling he is “indifferent” to Morathi’s warnings, as she is NOT trusted at all.

Yes, yes. When I say “Next” AOS release I don’t mean chronological but their next big large release. It’s already been fairly confirmed Sylvaneth are going to receive the next wave of goodies based on GW dropping their Endless Spell.

Though, usually the Lore sections of the book do have hints about upcoming AOS releases. One of the events talked about which seemed out of place was about tribes in the Varanspire competing for the regurgitated riches of a gargant. To me this is teasing Warcry.

size shot from around the web :

Such a nice model.

Oh, hey, an Inquisitor-scale Slaanesh high priest! Neat.

New trees?

Is the armoured worm in the back new?

Yup. As are those trees.....

The armored worm is apparently one of their Endless Spells and was posted a page or so back.

Ah ok, I missed that. Actually kind of a shame, a bunch of giant creepy-crawlies rather than spells would be a cool element to bring in.

And when you add the deamonette to the top an even bigger and insane to transport model! GW needs to learn how to do coiled whips more often (I'm FREAKING glad that the Keeper has a coiled whip - elongated whips in thin plastic are just a screaming nightmare to live with in the real world. Heck I've seen a lot of seeker chariots made without using them at all. It's not just how fragile they are, its how much they increase the required storage space in any box/transport. Plus its not easy to lay the model down flat - will have to see how he is to transport laying down otherwise that's one really tall model to freestand.

I might consider magnetizing the back connection point just to break it in half for transporting purposes.

They’re a bit of both.

Description seems to be saying they are gribbly bugs, but summoned in the same way as an Endless Spell. So the mechanic is Endless Spell, but in-game they’re actual monsters.

Who is that looming in the background?

Could be new trees I hope so as bigger trees would be good but like the Gloomspite Mushrooms the hobby team might have just made them for the pictures. It was discussed in a recent Stormcast that the hobby team have been given a lot of freedom to create stuff that's not necessarily for release.

The old trees are really showing their age and the design mentality they used to have. I really could see them doing new ones.

...especially as I just cracked the plastic on the 4 unbuilt sets I've had since the End Times for my Wood Elves.

From the Australian Championship preview

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/05/04/australian-championship-warhammer-previewgw-homepage-post-1/

Each Dominion of Sigmar set can be built as a scenery piece with its own warscroll, or can be mixed and matched with other sets to build anything you can imagine. Sprawling ruins, towering ziggurats, cavernous temple complexes – these kits are designed to make recreating the Mortal Realms at your home or gaming club easy.

The Dominion of Sigmar scenery range will be available soon alongside Forbidden Power – the next chapter in the Soul Wars and the latest expansion to Warhammer Age of Sigmar!

I'm genuinely surprised we didn't see the Sylvaneth preview then and there.

Love that new scenery, as for Sylvaneth are we expecting any new miniatures apart from the Endless Spells and Looncurse character?

Probably a plastic Branchwraith(the current one is the old Drycha model) and possibly Thornwych(the Underworlds Warband is led by one).

Hopefully/maybe Revenants with bows.

I'd lean towards that actually being just a new sprue with weapons potentially.

How about flying revenants with bows while were at it?

Personally I would really like wardroot beetle as a separate unit in it self. Didnt Fyreslayers get the option to take their beasties as a separate unit? I know Gloomspite got the option to take giant spiders without the crew.

Have you seen how big the bow is on the Underworlds archer? If they did it the way I think they would, with the bows attached to the torso and a second hand that matches the existing body setups, it would be most of its own sprue. Especially if they added new heads and Quiverlings as well.

Fyreslayers didn't get unridden Magmadroths that I'm aware of, just they got the ability to take more of them.

I'm glad AoS gets some new generic terrain, but I was hoping for something else than a bunch of flat surfaces, that's pretty uninspiring.

I dunno... I'm inspired to corrupt it.

Hmm, I like it. I can see the need for more, too, but as a start this isn't bad. Plus, we already have Azyrite Ruins (I think that's what they're called) and I think you could build some fun stuff kitbashing the two.

I guess it’s trying to strike the balance between tactically useful terrain (LoS blocking etc), and game practical terrain, where we have relatively little wobbly model syndrome.

That terrain is right up my alley. I'm afraid of the price though.. Hopefully it is no worse than the azyrite townscape thing... But it probably will be

Dramatic irrelgular surfaces look great until you try to play on them. I see that terrain and think 'hey I can actually balance models on this!' If I want fancy terrain I can add detail, if I want simple terrain it is much more difficult to take it away.

Also sneaky brilliance in stair design; if you can't balance a model properly you can say it is X stairs up.

Same. I especially like the part about it being used as hills and sight blockers, as war game 'hills' are nothing like actual battlefield terrain. This serves the same purpose while actually having a reason to exist, rather than fudging the concept and calling it a day.

GW's terrain is better priced than their miniatures, FWIW. If they priced it similarly to their minis, it would probably be double the cost it currently is. That said, the Feculent Gnarlmaw and Herdstone are 35 CAD while the new battletome terrain is 45 CAD, so they just took a jump.

The new stuff looks quite modular and is probably easy to magnetize (probably on the front of the top stair), which is a huge plus. It's tall enough to be a LOS blocker to most shooters in the game, which is also good IMO.
