I'm not really complaining about it. It just seems like there's usually more build-up to the GHB release. I probably won't be picking it up for a while, though. I'm going to be focusing my efforts of 40k during Lockdown 2: SARS-Cov Boogaloo.

So apparently the new GHB doesn’t have the new correct points and we’re getting a separate pdf with those instead. The new GHB Has points, they’re just the old ones.

The GHB has the correct points for most armies, its just for the newer books that the points will be in the PDF, becuase the GHB has been made months ago. Samething happend last year

It has correct points until cities of sigmar. The book was already finalised then, so any books that came out after will get an update in a pdf file.

people also fast forget (or with AoS weren't around before) just how fast GW was pushing out battletomes. One a month at least on average was a blazing speed for a company that used to leave months between each book. So yep you either have no GHB or you have a bunch of points online only - its not a huge issue esp when most changes are fairly minor; a simple slip of paper in your battletome or using the free warscroll builder and you've got your update points.

There are a host of ways of avoiding this mess with just a modicum of competency.

"The full Lumineth Realm-lords range will be hitting shelves soon!" In the meantime, Rainbow Dash Always Dresses in Style!
And soon according to AOSFB team is september which they specifically called out. Wonder if that was intended leak or unintended leak though still there. But one would expect reveal of release month would be with bit more fanfare.
"See how our teams have been painting their Lumineth ahead of their widespread release in September."

Well points online for free but GW+free=don't mess up. Freeze battletome releases for like 3/4 year(half a year lead time, 3 months to actually get points) before GHB but that would leave only about 3 months in which actually release battle tomes or simply don't do any point changes for books that were released after GHB points were set. Or current.

Spoiler:
Now there's a unique color scheme.
I like the orange color scheme a lot better than the showcase one the studio chose. I think I said it before, but GW should have picked that one over the boring official one. It has so much more character.
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!

Gw official shemes tend to avoide more complex painting methods to achieve. In general they tend to go for schemes that are easily done to that new customers have a greater chance to emulate them.
There is now a great temptation to get a unit or two of those knights and paint them up for my daughter as MLP knights...that might also cure my hatred of painting horses...endless variations of red-brown, light-brown, black-brown and oh look...more brown.
I could get behind purples, blue and neon colored horses...

Serious statement:
Look at the Gryph-Chargers for the Stormcast Vanguard range. They're not horses...but they've got a fun, fluffy reason for being all different kinds of colors. They're magical beasties that have a coloration based upon the magic of the Realm they're found in.

Yes, for some reason I have no issues with most other mounts (except for big cats), and have six of the gryph-chargers in my Stormcast pile.
I think my issue with horses began when I used to do 15mm and painted up about 40 baggage train figures for a Napoleonics scenario...the 1990s were a strange time for wargaming...

I can get that.
The paint guide for the horses for Lumineth is kind of interesting. The 'box art' brown horses? They're sprayed Corax White, painted Kislev Flesh, then washed with Skeleton Horde Contrast in a 2:1 mix of SH and Contrast Medium. Then they do a bit of edge highlights with Screaming Skull.
There's also some guides for grey and dapple horses.
