Man O'War was an ultra gonzo orbs to the wall high fantasy madness take on the Old World, I dread to think what an equivalent of that would be for AoS.

As stated above we’re promised 40K, AoS, TOW, HH “and even more”.

Maybe teases for the even more rather than significant reveals.

Or maybe BL models or somesuch. Warhammer+ announcements, stuff like that that doesn't fit in a system as such.

I'd be surprised if there were new boxed games honestly if we hadn't heard anything about them at this point. Though if they wanted to do an MTO for the Blackstone Fortress expansions...

Had a look at last years reveals:

-New Spacemarines to follow up the new marines of 10th box.
-Troggoth troll king
-Ironjaws
-Big HH box with new mk3 and Deredeo
-Warcry big box with Gorgers and CoS Wildercorps.
-Bloodbowl Vampire team
-Big box underworlds with Hedonites and Idoneth
-Old World Lady Élisse Duchaard! (and remember the game itself was not out yet. that was one decisive old world reveal for lots of people)
-HH Daemon Fulgrim in all his glory

Came here to say people might have to high expectations, but wow, last years reveal was actually epic!

Old World: a preview of the entire Beasts of Chaos range.

They could go crazy and announce High Elf BB team alongside High Elf TOW announcement. 😆

I would say another Primaris Lieutenant ?

Old World will probably get a vague roadmap, I have doubts about another faction reveal considering the warriors of chaos aren't on pre order yet.

Personally i'm waiting for Wood Elves, and I expect to be last. Which I don't mind so long as they deliver at least a couple new sculpts. I really don't want to see those old metal treekin return. But if a lot of old sculpts return I do hope they at least remaster them in resin instead of metal.

Looks like no Blood Bowl this year either, someday we'll get chaos dwarfs....someday.

Chaos Dwarves feel like they are in the same boat as Exodites and Codex Zoats. GW won't let them die and won't let us forget about them but they also won't do them!

Announcing BB High Elves with TOW High Elves would be pretty up my alley but... I just don't think it's evident that GW operates in that way where they're particularly thinking about those synergies.

I've been waiting for those HH melee arms for so long I just found a friend with a resin printer, but I still think it's an important thing for the game so the choppier legions can finally feel like their Basic Dude is available for sale.

I'd have pegged Votann over Eldar but if it's either, they'd work for me, so I will just expect some more Space Marines instead and if we get new Imperial Guard instead I'll partially care.

AoS is wide open I think, but I also suspect it'll be all Stormcast. I do wonder if something else will get a big refresh this round; I was surprised Slayers didn't join the Stormcast wizards and Ogres didn't join Beasts, so I kinda hope they're on a roadmap for a refresh, but anything more than a roadmap won't be mentioned this round I'm sure.

We already know chaos dwarves are coming. Whitefang already confirmed that.

which means that #zoatsweep is coming any day now

I'm not saying the HH reveal is a 28mm Auxilia Shadowsword, but the official HH Facebook page did just update their profile picture to an Auxilia Shadowsword.

A Shadowsword/Stormblade kit would see me getting 2-3, but will they put it out before the Felblade/Glaive?

.... I'd rather have access to auroxes...

But a shadowsword is fine i guess.

So they did, so they did.

Interested in the 40k road map- I think we could get a couple of codex+single model type release and maybe one big update before Christmas. Hoping the big one is Votann, the WD article wasn't anything new apparently, more PR than anything else and the book slated for "later in the year.." , but no expectations . Could be Guard/Eldar/more marines..

Hoping the rest of the reveals have some surprises, maybe a KO war band for Warcry? Could we get a new Quest game?

I wonder, given its around that time of year, if they'll reveal the Year 4 models for Warhammer+.

If not before as this month it comes up for renewal so they have to have whatever details Warhammer+ is getting to keep it alive.

Well, According to my accounts, my money to W+ goes out on the 25th of August. (Would be a Sunday this year, so I expect the 26th this year)
They have 3 days to announce something that will keep me paying, or I cancel before the weekend to ensure nothing goes out next week.

I was going to say it feels like tomorrow (Wednesday being Warhammer+ day) should be the last day they have to reveal the next Warhammer+ year's miniatures.

Maybe the next year goes hand in hand with Kirby's glorious return and you are only told two weeks after what you paid money for?

Good point - mine renews on the 27th and I recall doing it a little late last year.

Got to say I'm surprised - its almost like whoever is running Warhammer+ is distracted or missing. You'd have thought they'd have pushed out at least one or two animations in the last month before the renewal and had some articles and other hype up.

It could be a really interesting game for AOS which lends itself to the scale- there are also plenty of vast vehicles/landships/monsters/constructs that mean you could do it as ship/air AND land

The Man O'War lore was not especially high fantasy compared to the rest of the lore and tied in in many places as well as doing some world building,

Warmaster would also work fantastically well for AoS

Eldar, Guard, and ksons are the ones rumored to be up next, so i hope we don't get Votann anytime soon so that they can get a proper full second wave

oh yeah, that could be great. especially since AOS already focuses so much on the big and impressive

What does it look like when SCE march en masse on foot?

It doesn't

AoS has left rank and flank behind, the tech level won't allow it. If it got a tiny scaled game it would have more in common with LI than Warmaster.

Maybe yes maybe no - either would work honestly. The fact is the game at AoS scale is skirmish not rank and flank based; but we all know that there are vast armies in the actual gameplay itself; and honestly guns are not as common place as they are in 40K. There's still a LOT of close combat units that will strongly benefit from organised shield walls; rank and flank and other elements of combat at the mass-army scale. Even armies like Daughters of Khaine would have warriors fighting close together to benefit from the protection others give.

Plus even the AoS rules have attempted to preserve units staying in blocks/groups. Sure its diluted because they've also shifted away from allowing lots of big infantry blocks in the game as a format; but you'd still have your vast armies moving with a degree of organisation.

It would be kind of strange if they get a plastic Legacy SH tank before units and options that are actually in their book.

Like the Aethon and Hermes?

Troke's video implies that actually "plans" for their games (so possibly roadmaps, or more) are the focus this time, with miniature previews secondary.

Those were new though and not removed from the 'official' army list in the first place. Also rather small kits and no LoW.

But well, looking at the shop and seeing all those kits unavailable, sold out or vanished I can totally see them doing a new edition with new expensive books, while the Mars campaign book will be usable only for a couple of months...
