I feel like we really wont be waiting too long for proper slaanesh releases...

Double entendres much?

From the Age of Sigmar Facebook page:

Hmmmmmm

Maybe another teaser on Thursday but otherwise my guess we will not see the Idoneth until after the Tau are released

I think the release date of Forgebane will be of greater impact. Tau get a book and that's it. No new shinies to advertise means it should be a pretty inconsequential release like all the other codices that got thrown in between major releases. Forgebane, on the other hand, has new Knights (and a Necron character).

I could see the Tau getting their pre-order this weekend (that much we know) and the following week seeing the pre-order for Forgebane along with the Necron codex (so the new character has rules when the model hits and GW gets another mostly unsupported codex out of the way). Then the following week we either get more Knights and their codex as a major 40k release that lasts more than a week in between two elf releases, or Forgebane is enough to tide the 40k crowd over and Idoneth get their release right after it. Either way, plenty of time for more teasing without actually revealing them just yet.

That's my guess. Now watch as something totally different happens.

I'd assume the mini knight and Necron will be released separately later in the year. Is there a rumour of an upcoming knight codex?

Nope. In fact several people said we'll be getting DE before Necrons, so that can't be next week. I'd bet on Forgebane no sooner than April.

Yeah, I forgot about the Dark Eldar codex which along with Tau and Necrons is announced to be one of the next three to hit. Pretty much rules out a Knight codex before April. I wouldn't go so far as to say it rules out Forgebane as well because the box will have rules for all models in it, so it can stand alone for however long it needs to.

Even if we get 4 codexes (inc. Imperial Knight so maybe a "full" release, like the rumors said.. Or an Imperial Agent book, whatever) + Forgebane, we'll have plenty of room for a FULL IDONETH DEEPKIN RELEASE SOON COME ON GW COME ON !!

DE and Tau are probably one week releases each. Plenty of place in the schedule and this teaser makes me think they are not far off. GW may be anouncing in advance these days but it's never more than a few releases/ events.

Even more evidence that GW are getting rid of Slannesh Really if there hasn't been some kind of release for the dark prince's forces by this time next year I will be surprised. Also Slannesh forces with a Mad Max meets glam rock fantasy theme sounds great

I see them basing the slaanesh aesthetic on the hellstriders, also for 40k I am praying to the miniature gods that they give updated noise marines a guitar at least as a weapon option.

A Doof attachment to a Land Raver for MAXIMUM SOUND.

Mhm, Darkoath stuff. More humans are needed! I'd prefer free cities/Freeguild humans before Darkoath, but as long as it is human and smaller than the Stormcast, Orruks and other monsters I'll allow it. I hope new humans won't be as tall as the ST priest (supposed giant), Kairic Acolytes or Darkoath leaders.

The Darkoath Chieftain is fine IMO, muscled barbarians should be smaller than Bloodreaver, but just a little, and a little bigger than Free Guild.

I really hope that a Darkoath release means (just) a 10 models strong unit and a Legions Of Archaon style book.

A Darkoath maraudeur unit should be IMO the "missing link" between actual Maraudeurs and Chaos Warriors.

(And I love those kits, but AOS aesthetic-wise, GW should just keep Maraudeur Cavalry (renamed Darkoath cavarly or something) and Chaos Knights, in a hypothetic Legions Of Archaon book).

There have been a lot of IK rumors. The source had correct info about the boxed set which makes it likely the other info is correct as well. I collected his posts here

And btt, I guess Idoneth Deepkins were planned to be previewed at the AoS Day but as the event had to be canceled it got postponed.

Isn't the male chieftain not quite a bit bigger than a reaver, though. I never stood them next to each other on purpose but he feels more Acolyte-sized.

After two elven armies, two dwarf forces, two Orc tomes, myriad of Sigmarines and Chaos just maaaybe some normal humans should show up to be pushed around. I did *not* expect Tzeentch cultists to hulk out into 8" 250 pounds "warforms"

Is there an event this weekend they migjt be revealed at?

The gama trade show is next week.The Kharadron Overlords were revealed at last year's show so that is definite possibility though they already had other reveals planned for that event.

Well, GW showcased both the KO and Shadow War Armageddon, last year, so why not Forgebane and Idoneth Deepkin + other stuff this edition ?

We probably were meant to see Idoneth Deepkin at the Age of Sigmar Open, so I expect to see a teaser/reveal before GAMA at least.

My wife has a thing for elves, started drooling over the Daughters of Khaine release, and if an underwater elven race DOES come out of this (she's a fan of the Kharybdis/Hydra kit as well), I expect she'll be adding to her elves further. I guess there's no reason for her to not have Sylvaneth, DoK and Idoneth Deepkin, right?

I hope not, 'cause I'm on the same boat (ba dum tss!)

We don't know if the Kharibdyss is going to be in this army. Might sound weird, but nothing about Idoneth Deepkin has pointed towards them having ties to the Scourge Privateers(whose faction the Kharibdyss already exists in--and can IIRC be used as Allies for Daughters of Khaine).

Yes - they are precisely two distinct allies choices for the DoK.

The link with the Idoneth Deepkin may be a shared sea elves aesthetic (with Lothern Guards too), but they are two distinct factions...

That's what grand alliance armies are for

The interesting thing about this is that we can infer the Idoneth Deepkin will be dramatically different to the Scourge Privateers.

If the Deepkin were just sea-themed aelves then it wouldn't make sense for them to be their own separate faction, they could have just been built around the existing Scourge Privateers like with DoK. After all two separate sea-faring aelf factions would be a bit redundant.

The fact that they're going to be a new distinct faction will mean that GW needs to do something to strongly distinguish their aesthetic from the Privateers. Which makes me think they might very well have some sort of fishmen elements...

Maybe they're more Seaguard than Privateers. "Atlantean" and "Spartan" sounds more like a High Elves aesthetic.

Anyway I want to see them already!

Not really a guy that post rumors, but I saw this on Facebook and thought it was interesting:
