There is not. The initial release plan is Army Pack, then the actual release of the book & models will come later.

GW's factories are offline and might be until June or later with things in the UK right now. So chances are even GW has no actual idea when they'll come on sale - esp since GW will have a huge backlog of stock to resupply when they come online anyway. Chances are there will be two, three maybe more weeks when all GW will need to do to serve the market is produce what they currently make. And that's just considering UK stock not factoring in that some international regions might remain on lockdowns and international post might be delayed further.
We might actually see GW forced to release things at different times in different regions or take pre-orders in some regions that have to be held in limbo

Standard studio schemes also tend to be simpler to emulate. Where possible you'll see they avoid difficult colours (eg yellows) or blendings of colours etc.... Bold bright and clear colours tend t be popular.
I hope htey get some tutorials for other schemes - its something I think GW dropped the ball on for Ossiarchs - though I think considering we saw Duncan leaving GW at around that time it might be that his leaving left a gap in the workflow that wasn't filled at that time.

They hadn't really been doing tutorials tied to the release schedule for a while (other than for Underworlds).

Does GW care though? Scalping is insane already with limited releases. GW doesn't care though as they get money either way. Scalper or non scalper. Money is same for GW

From Warhammer Community: Later on this week, we’ll be further exploring two reveals from our most recent Warhammer Preview – the apparently-not-just-stories-after-all Sons of Behemat…
The other reveal is the Daemonifuge miniatures. For the Sons of Behemat I'm expecting at the most an article on the Aleguzzler Garagant and GW saving the new miniatures for Preview 3 on Saturday.

Well besides new Gargants, I expect there being reveal of the rest of the Lumineth line.

Croquet mallet not the only weapon option for Stoneguard? Not convinced its a scythe myself, maybe some kind of long handled pick axe?

GW thought they looked too goofy to show off right away, so to make the best first impression, presented us with the croquet mallets instead.

I don’t know how you get scythes from that picture. The third one pretty clearly has a hammer with a spike on the reverse.

A scythe would tie in with all the wheat they have...but it's clearly more of a big spike.

That's true. Although another avenue they might pursue is that having the Chinese company that has manufactured underworlds war bands for them in the past pick up production of some things (I would hope at least warcry stuff assuming it all hasn't already been produced in the UK and is just awaiting shipping out, as I feel the Lumineth stuff might be)

I think GW has to be careful with outsourcing its production of miniatures to China too much. Part of their business and company structure is UK production and they just spent a huge amount of millions building a new UK factory. Furthermore if you've followed any Kickstarters there can be a legion of problem with factories in Chian - esp when producing high and fine detail products in quality and quantity.
The stuff from china that GW orders is typically slightly less detailed - like Endless Spells and terrain. Even then GW had one whole batch of terrain with the wrong amount of sprue in the box which wasn't spotted until it was shipping to customers. Which is an issue that I've heard before in that if problems arise in the factory in China is more likely to just keep going with no one reporting/checking until it emerges into the customers hands.
GW keeping production of their core product in-house means that they are in total control. Mistakes are theirs, but also far swifter to be fixed and they can at least adapt their core production on the fly as they need to. If production is half a world away and will take several months to arrive that's ok for a bulk order ot get started, but it means that production overall can't adapt fast to a changing market.
In addition it would mean producing at least double the moulds.
I think if any region gets its own casting facilities it would be the USA. That would make the most sense as its one of the biggest potential regions to produce for and would still allow GW to remain easily in control over their own product (GW setting up their own factory in China might come with way way way more red tape).

That's all true, but they have definitely had underworlds warbands produced in China by a third party. Supposedly GW only trusts one to do it right.

Which of the warbands was that?
Because we know that the card items were produced in China, and if anything happens like that GW usually marks it "produced in China".

I'm sure GW has good reasons for picking the studio color schemes, but I have a hard time believing this is it. AoS has Ironjaws, and 7th ed 40k featured Bad Moons and Iyanden as the factional poster boys in that edition. Had that happened after releasing Contrast, OK, but it's been before that when painting yellow was as hard as ever.

Probably. GW has randomly revealed models before on Warhammer Community even though they had a preview event not long before, but it's rare and it's more likely going to be a fluff primer than model pictures, with the dedicated online preview showing off the models instead.
If they show them during this preview at all, of course.
Will be fun to see how the models look. I'm not a fan of the current giant and preferred the metal one before it. The sketches look like they'll tie in with the giant to keep it as a unit in the army without looking off, so there's a good chance the army won't be for me.

I've bought 2 godsworn hunts and one set of the tzeentch guys and they have all been made in china according to the packaging which says made in UK on all the standard kits. I reckon if you go to a store and take a look on any kits from around that time you have a decent chance of seeing it.
