I caught a leak from a whatsapp group:

4 terrain bundles for (according to leaker) november.

4 sylvaneth wyldwoods. Roughly 16% added value.

Ruined/Desolated (cannot remember the exact name) township. 104 euros for 6 azyrite ruins ans one objective set.

The 40k ones are a bunch of the crates and 2 cranes and ferratomic stuff.

Well, that's interesting but a bit disappointing.

I really was hoping that this summer we would start to see new scenery for AOS that aren't Chaos or Ruins, but Stormkeeps, or something to represent Order Free Cities.

We'll see...

In faeit there are pictures:

Ruins are really interesting.


PD. Upss, sorry chikout, i didnt read your answer.

I'd really wish for some nice LoS blocking terrain.

A couple of pics from the White Dwarf preview on Warhammer Community:

I love the details on that base! The model overall looks like it's straight out of a Japanese wood block.

Those Incubi and Archer Elf look great, will be buying several of them once I have a close look at the sprue

Water cloak guy is just phenomenal. Anybody have any guesses on how much he will cost? Something absurd like $50usd?

Looking at these models, I realize that I'm excited for about half of them. The eel and shark riders, the turtles, some of the leaders and the giant seahorse, but the base troops I'm not thrilled about. They'll probably be the battleline, but I'm really hoping that you can make the eel riders battleline through some other means, since I'd rather build/paint/play with those.

$50 would actually be really reasonable by modern GeeDub standards!

Love all his little base friends, and potentially in it for some of the blind elves for KOW purposes, barring nutty pricing.

- Salvage

Thought on how to repurpose the Deepkin into games of DeepWars?

Because I know I'll be wanting to do that.

Interested to see how they handle the Deepkin's interactions with the rest of there grand alliance. So far all the official background seems to have been about them attacking other order factions.

Yeah, I think they missed an opportunity to make an elf destruction army. Which would have been fantastic.

A faction that’s in destruction but wouldn’t ally with them?

I think a neutral place for certain armies would be better.

WOW. The 'EAVY METAL team is beyond pro level at this point. I don't think I've seen a better painted mini from GW.

Wave Dude looks amazing, but I'll bet he's an absolute pain in the backside to assemble.

You'd be amazed at how simple some of these kits end up being once you get your hands on them.

I’m liking the green octo rubble at the base of the hippocampus guy

I'd just like to see certain factions as allyable cross-alliance. Let Freeguild ally in Maneaters, let Slaves to Darkness ally in Fyreslayers, etc. Of course letting the mercenary factions ally anywhere within their own alliance would be a good start. Maybe they could introduce a semi-ally status where only units that are not named or behemoth can be allied in. So Slaves could ally in Fyreslayer infantry and on-foot heroes but no magmadroths, for example.

Yeah, a mercenary alliance trait would be great and bring back the early days of AoS when anything went and people could make amazing combined forces and matching conversions.

I imagine it'll be like dealing with the sea, at times calm and reasonable but can unexpectedly go violent and stormy with dangers lurking beneath the waves constantly.

So probably a unpredictable ally you need to keep your eye on but can be a priceless asset in both war and controlling the seas for trade and lost treasure/relics from the Age of Myth.

This guy is massive, even bigger than the Not-Mortarch guy. The Mortarch themselves is 80USD. So this guy should be in the upper 80USD range.

Yikes, I'll just have to admire him from afar then!

Dogs! of! War! Dogs! of! War! Dogs! of! War!

The artists at GW are still capable of producing amazing work.

They talked about Fyreslayers having worked for Chaos forces at one point during the time before the Realmgate Wars but ceasing to do so since the Chaos forces never actually kept up their end of the bargains.

To be honest most GW kits are pretty simple to put together. Indeed assembly itself is normally one of the most easy parts of the hobby.

Cleaning up the parts; deciding to part assemble so that it makes painting easier; painting etc...... these are all things that are often more complicated. But the actual assembly is very easy. Esp today when its either finecast or (mostly) plastic. It was a bit trickier in the older days with a lot of metal as you often had to pin many joints to get a solid assembly that wouldn't have weak points.

I've got White Dwarf and there are only dates in there for the book and cards - nothing about dates/prices of the kits. Preorder book only in week 1? Seems a bit weird.

The lore for these guys and girls is striking all the right strings with me. The diabolical octopus in the background is just sweet cheery.

Love the art so far.

Yeah the art is looking pretty solid for this book so far. Any signs that the mistweaver might be included in this army? I still have that model from silver tower and need an excuse to paint it. Her aesthetic kind of fits in with this army...hmm.

I think the Mistweaver is a part of Malerion's aelves. The bird skull doesn't seem something that these guys have.

Maybe, but fully featurless face plates is one heck of a trait to be shared between 2 different factions:
