GW has confirmed a Chaos battletome in October, but would GW released another new faction so close after the Kruleboys (who are technically a part of an existing faction)? One can only hope...
The new Orruk Warclans and Stormcast Eternals battletomes are available to pre-order in August. A third battletome will follow these in October – something a little more Chaos-flavoured, we hear.

Wouldn't surprised me. The main thing i like about AoS is that they release new factions continuously
lost and damned log

Very cool models, literally worthless rules. You'll auto lose from brining them unless the codex adds some support rules or revisions. They're below dumpster trash.
Objectively false; there is a large number of roles they can serve on the battlefield. From chaff to ranged support to reserve blocking to objective campers. They aren't good at any of those roles because they are over costed for their stats, but to call them "literally worthless" is to be literally wrong.

I'm betting Beasts of Chaos. They need it, they fit the Ghur theme, it makes sense.

The best thing about this set of edition cycles has been the move towards presenting the painted models in situ on the box. I'm still bothered by the weird, overhanging "R" on the new 40K logo, and don't love the red framing for the new AoS livery, but the overall gestalt is pretty awesome. Looking forward to when the whole line is refreshed – will make the stores look like codex/battletome pages!

Yeah, that surprised me. I am hoping they release a second set similar to “ Battlezone: Manufactorum – Vertigus” with all the contents and some extra bits.

Well does do turn up later at some point. Maybe with few extra pieces.
But I suspect that the separate terrain set coming now is thought for expanding from Extremis set when you move to bigger games.

That might be the case, and for the walls that's fine, but I can't see why three statues with one dome is a better expansion than two of each.

I was looking forward to buy new Age of Sigmar scenery but lack of dome means that I will wait for bigger set instead (if there is such thing). As a terrain collector I want one of everything.
Penumbral Engine becoming available separetely is positive news. Previously it has only been available in overpriced Forbidden Power set and big Dominion of Sigmar bundle I can't remember the name of.
That place is the harsh dark future far left with only war left.

Heroes - Mounted Unconfirmed
Shaman on Corpserippa - Monster Mount, Flying Wizard (Non-Special version of Gobsprakk)
Killaboss on Corpserippa - Monster Mount, Flying Hero (Non-Special version of Gobspreakk)
I would expect a centerpiece model like the Mouth of Mork to be unique, so I would be mildly surprised if the kit makes any units other than Gobsprakk.

So far it seems like the closest Grot unit so far are the ones on the Swamp Troggoth. With minor mention for the ones helping on the Ballista.
That is it really. I would find it so damn bizarre that there is grots as artillery(?) crew, gladiator sidekick and riding (rather unlucky) troll but not as infantry.

From the “Kunnin” story which Gobsprakk appears it shows him holding “court” with other Orruks mounted on Corpse-rippaz. That was my main reason why I think it’s hinted it will be a multi-kit.

Yes, I've read 'Kunnin'', but I don't see where it mentions other Orruks mounted on Corpse-rippas.

I feel it is relevant to point out that labeling things as 'anti-X' on speculation isn't really worth the effort; units rarely boil down to such simple roles and GWs writing is such that even when intended the reality can be wildly mismatched. Like Yndrasta, the 'monster hunter' with rules that make her a strong support & defensive hero.

I also love the new box art, both 40k and fantasy side. Miss the old art days but understand the commercial realities of showing the miniatures. This is a great comprose that makes shelves look cooler.

At the ruined castle’s top was what a flock of what Krugrump first took to be birds of prey, but then realised, given the scale of the fortress on which they were perched, were monstrous wyvern-like vultures big enough to carry a grunta in their talons. Each had a greenskin rider atop it. One of the riders, a hunched figure with four banners on its trophy rack, had taken a position higher than the others, and was gesticulating wildly as he held court.
There's a flock of them, and each have a greenskin on their back. There's one with four banners which is Gobsprakk, presumably.
