Chaos Warriors already have stats and rules in the Varanguard's Retinue but that's specific to the Hand of the Everchosen scenario and they need a cheaper leader to function at 1000 points (or give the Exalted Champion the leader runemark). It's an easy update if they want to add them as 1 of the 15 (and properly fix the move toughness error which they flipped by mistake)

Too bad they discontinued the Chaos Warhounds kit. They would have been the perfect addition to a Chaos Warriors warband

Honestly the creatures of chaos tab itself should vanish. It doesn't really serve any purpose since the models in it vanish into the other chaos armies. I'd have thought with Slaves being so close GW would have cleaned it up before now.

It sounds like their campaigns are in the book, but not their rules - like the original rulebook.
Spoiler:
No fewer than 15 new warbands are approaching the Bloodwind Spoil, from across all four Grand Alliances. In the Tome of Champions, you’ll get your first look at which factions are coming to Warcry – and an awesome campaign for each one.
You won’t have long to wait before you can use them, as their rules will be coming in 2020. For now, you can roll up names with origins on background tables for each warband and plan your domination of the Eightpoints!

GW sure does love spreading rules over several books.

If these things are not meant for Warcry players, why not take it up with DaveC, who originally posted them here? In the Warcry thread. Where we talk about Warcry. And things meant for Warcry players.
Nothing you just said invalidates what I said. Complaining that AoS boxes aren't a good fit for Warcry is illogical.
I hope the Rats will be fully playable once the update is released. Strike and scurry away as universal ability would be neat, "there's always more" as reinforcement mechanic would be nice nod to Underworlds.

Does anyone know what the normal turn-around is from on-the-boat, to "available for preorder"? I know I need to preorder any cards I even might want in the future, on day-1.... sigh....

I would be disappointed if Skaven got just one warband. If they do I imagine it will be rather large given the massive number of unit options that could be good warcry fodder:
Clanrats (sword/spear options)
Stormvermin (a bunch of champion options)
Plague Monks (dual wield/staff options, plus champion options)
Plague Censer Bearers
Skryre Acolytes
Jezzails
Weapon Teams (four of them)
Giant Rats
Rat Ogors (normal/gun options)
Packmasters (two weapon options)
Night Runners
Gutter Runners

For other companies, the slow boat from China to US usually takes between 6-10 weeks, not including time stuck in customs or other delays. I'd say mid January at the earliest. The fact that the Tome of Champions is getting campaigns for these factions likely means that it won't be too far off.
The real question is what the demand will be like. They lasted a few weeks last time (though a few of them sold out earlier), but now that we know these will be limited release items that won't ever get a reprint, I don't think you'll be the only person eager to preorder these things...
Edit: (Oh, it's only 8 packs total? That means it'll probably be two waves of cards. And Tzeentch Arcanites are separate from Disciples of Tzeentch?)

I'm bummed that these are two waves only because warbands that are obviously coming like Fyreslayers and Sylvaneth are not in the first batch, and they're ones I was really hoping for.

Sylvaneth is top of my wishlist too, but I've got so many random miniatures from all the AoS factions through Warhammer Quest, starter sets, and Underworlds, that I'm basically pumped for anything.
I'm also happy the Ossiarchs are getting added in so quickly. With Kill Team getting Sisters of Battle rules almost immediately and both of them getting annuals, it is starting to feel like GW is taking these skirmish games seriously. 15 new warband factions is going to really open up the game into a true alternative to Age of Sigmar.

Some of the early impressions from the New Zealand website are looking very promising for the new Slaves to Darkness. All the new Warscrolls are up on the store pages for their respective models (save for those models, of course, not yet released).

Warcry doesn't need to put everything from AoS's battletome. I think there will be no Skryre in it - too powerful at this scale, and not really fitting for a skirmish game.
Would make sense if only Clan Verminus is in this band. Clanrats, Stormvermins, maybe a few giant rats, and that's already good enough actually.

It'd be rather dull. Lots of reach but nothing really exciting, I don't desire a complete roster but few other units seem a must for an enjoyable experience. They're giving absurd support to SCE and Chaos, wasted potential, if they're playing favourites.
Edit: Posted before Ash's review.
