The arrival of Cities of Sigmar does mean a handful of Order units will be leaving the range and becoming Warhammer Legends later this year. We’ll be providing a full list of which ones closer to the time. The number of units available in the book is still vast, with loads of warscrolls. What’s more, each City of Sigmar can enlist units from Battletome: Stormcast Eternals into their main force, while Tempest’s Eye and The Living City can draw on aid from the Kharadron Overlords and Sylvaneth, respectively, as full members of your army that share your allegiance abilities. Here’s rules writer Sam Pearson with his thoughts on the book…

Ummm... Hurray?
It'll probably be a unit I like.
It's inevitable, really. I just considered maybe buying this book for my Shyish mortals. Something's bound to happen to take the wind out of my sails.

White Lions gone from webstore for me
Any ideas what more will go?
I just ordered some high elves I needed. For example Dragon Blades I feel might be removed.

There's optimism, then there's being an apologist. Please don't be the latter.
I'm not apologising? I'm simply stating that some of the aelf sets appear to still have square bases and GW tends to update them by removing the box (sold out) and adding a new box even if its the very same models and box art and just a change in putting square bases in. Until we know for sure its impossible to say, though yes it does appear stronger that they are removed. GW did say they'd tell us before they were removed though; so right now either is a possible result.
I just try not to default to doom-gloom mode all the time (there's enough people online that do that in spades already)

I must have missed that. Just checked the GW site and yeah, gone, along with White Lions, High Elf Spearmen, High Elf Archers, and Empire Knights. I stongly susspect that this book is going to be one last hurrar for the none AoS minis. Once the book and the models have sold out, they'll be gone. It is so sad to see them go, WFB was my go to game since the late 90's, seeing it being shredded like that is just deflating. Sure the world went, but we could at the very least still buy the minis and continue to play.
Maybe I am no longer GW's target, classic fantasy must not have the same appeal as it once did.
At least the artwork is nice.
The objective of the game is to win. The point of the game is to have fun. The two should never be confused.

The base situation is probably a good way of assessing risk. Anything already on round bases is probably safe.
I hope we’re still waiting for a big reveal, because so far I’m not impressed by two new books for old models and one new (although admittedly excellent) mini.
Someone had sources - or good luck - because the Hammerhall Battlebox in my LGS was sold last week. Shoulnd't habe waited so long With no Free Peoples in Warcry for now my need for Empire state troops is not that great, though.
The Tyrant is nice, but I liked the rumour of even bigger, fatter ogres that are even more elite than currently. Just read itbyesterday onTGA, so I'm not to disappointed, that this guy is not that huge or fat. He should be fatter, though.
Looking for a Skaven Doomwheel banner to repair my Nurgle knights.
Man, I'm really tempted by the Cities of Sigmar book. One thing that I am curious about is whether or not the three named Cities - Hammerhal, Tempest's Eye, and the Living City - can be lead by their allies' Heroes. Can Alarielle the Everqueen or an Arch-Revenant lead a Wanders host from the Living City? Will the Free Guild of Hammerhal be able to march out under the stern gaze of Avernis Firestrike, the Magistaer of Hammerhal?

Hard to say, we might just get more details on the announced releases that we've seen thus far.
We also know there's Underworlds getting their 3rd season preview today so that will be some pretty big news for some AoS armies.
That already shapes the day up to be pretty big in terms of what it does for AoS; in updating a lot of armies to 2.0 and in bringing the game up to a single rules edition. Furthermore we'll likely get a few more details on the release plan for Warcry. So I'd say beyond Underworlds I'd just expect more detail on what we already know is coming; so if there is anything else even bigger then it will be a real surprise.

That seems unlikely. They'll discontinue some units, because that's what they said they'll do, but writing an army book (and possibly reboxing units with round bases) only to then drop that book and all armies in it? Come on.
GW isn't shy about squatting armies. Brettonians and Tomb Kings got hit early on, assorted orcs fairly recently. If they want something gone, they'll drop it. Just like that.
That doesn't mean this book is going to end up an equal to factions with modern models made for AoS and get updated in a timely fashion for new editions or ever receive new models. But it's unrealistic to expect that GW won't even go to the minimum effort of restocking the book and the miniatures that go with it as long as the free cities are relevant to the narrative and the design paradigm for army division doesn't change (like it did with mini factions to catch-all factions of old for Skaven, Beastmen and now the remaining orcs).
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!
Why is the rum always gone?
We can see quite a host of models being moved from Webstore only to 3rd party both from 40K and AoS! This is really great news because it means more discounts from 3rd parties and more support for games at local game stores and not just from the GW online store.

Might be the reason for the recent price raise
Don't mention the price thing, you will only set them off again!!
There’s also the website’s temperamental reporting. It’s not uncommon for stuff to be shown as no longer available, when it’s just sold out.
Frustrating here though because we’ve now been told some stuff is being dropped. Afraid this is a genuine case of ‘we’ll just have to wait and see, and in the meantime raid what shops we can in case they’ve got what we want’
Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
With no Free Peoples in Warcry for now my need for Empire state troops is not that great, though.
