Looks to be at least 4 kits;
- Plaguemarines of a similar size to Blightkings (a guess)
- Cult terminators (from Aracersss images below)
- Nurgle's rot Infected cultists
- Enormous scythe at the end hinting at a large model, logically Mortarion.

Not really, it's discussed in the other thread already.
I'm a bit torn on the Marines with their sharp theeth and tentacles looking like the DV Chosen (and their stumpy Marine legs), but the mutants are amazeballs. On any case Blight Kings with pre-made servo armour bits alone would justify this new release. If the Marines are a good kit on their own, even better.
Looking for a Skaven Doomwheel banner to repair my Nurgle knights.
I'm hoping they'll be multi part, multi pose but they do look good and I'll be buying them regardless.
As for the scythe I guess it's possible it's a new sculpt Typhus but I expect it is Mortarion, in either case, also sold!
I've been playing a while, my first model was a lead marine and my first White Dwarf was bound with staples
Yeah you convinced me it must be Mortarion. Mostly due the long tease at the end of the video.
Anyway, I am quite worried because it will be impossible for me not to buy the whole set day one.
The only thing is I was thinking of buying Shadows over Harrenhal (lol) mostly to convert the blight king to 40K era but it seems GW just did exactly the same. Maybe I will skip this box then...
Hopefully he isn't too big compared to RG. Someone could do a Rob and Morty conversion of the two.

it could go a different way than TS
Well it's a range that needs an update, and makes sense to design at the same time. Add to that a double use kit, or daemons, that will sell to both sides for the same shelf space. And they figure heavy in the fluff for realmwars, and are set up for resurgence after defeat.
And Hastings said it.

Same size as Magnus judging by the leaks

As an added bonus, it all but confirms Nurgle in AoS as well, so here's hoping I can flog my WM/H stuff in time
Er, what?
How does Death Guard confirm Nurgle in AoS? We didn't see a Great Unclean One or Beasts of Nurgle or anything that is "shared".
We saw 40k stuff.
I mean, it would be surprising to not see those but this is kind of grasping at straws right off the bat.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a new Typhus though.
So far we have:
-Mortarian(the scythe appears a bit too big to be Typhus, unless he gets supersized--you can see a bit of base in the background to give a sense of scale)
-Plague Marines in Power Armour
-Plague Zombies
-Plague Terminators
That puts us, compared to the release for the Thousand Sons(Magnus, Rubricae, Exalted Sorcerers, Rubric Marines, Ahriman, Tzaangors) 2 release slots less.
I would expect to see a kind of "hero" boxed kit(and I actually think that a couple of the Plague Marines might be that; the guy with the butcher's apron on and the guy clutching the three shrunken heads on a chain have a kind of hero vibe to them...) where instead of the Disc mounted character there's a Terminator one and Typhus to round things out, release-wise.

Share a quote, please.
We didn't see anything that was shared in the early Tzeench leaks either
Other than the Tzaangors you mean?
It's important to note that between Disciples of Tzeentch and the Thousand Sons release, there was exactly one shared release that wasn't Daemonic. That was the Tzaangors box, and even that is kind of stretching it because they actually sell two different Tzaangor boxes. The Thousand Sons version comes with the 40k weapon sprue while the AoS version doesn't. Same contents otherwise.
Everything else(Changeling, Lord of Change, and the Blue & Brimstone Horrors) came with Disciples of Tzeentch--which itself saw a few "AoS only" releases. Kairic Acolytes box, Tzaangor Enlightened/Skyfire box, and the Tzaangor Shaman. It also saw a repackage of the Tzaangor box, minus the 40k weapon sprue, and the release of the Ogroid Thaumaturge and Gaunt Summoner separate from Silver Tower. And price bumps of existing kits, alongside of the Flamers from the Chariot being sold by itself as well.
I also think that it is important to note we had a bit of time between those releases. We saw Thousand Sons come out with Wrath of Magnus and Traitor Legions, then a bit later we got the "Tzaanuary" releases.

Nice! Not a fan of the Blightknight look for termis, but I'm digging the 80's vibe for the Plague Marines. Nurgley stuff is where the current GW aesthetics with too much cartoony detail works well.
You seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder. So I'll not waste my time digging through posts to find the Hastings quote. You can have the lovely feeling of winning on the internet, I'll be sure to bump this when then AoS is released.

I have a "chip on my shoulder" with people attributing things to reliable rumormongers without sharing the actual bit itself. It's how reliable rumormongers can get a bad rap and it's what places like BoLS/Faeit/Naftka thrive on.
They take an existing rumor from a reliable source, add a bit of their own "spin" to it, and then poof--they can start to put forth their own nonsense as being just as credible as those rumormongers.
I think in fairness Kan is right. The teased DG stuff is strictly 40k, absolutely no room for over-lap in the shown minis. Even if I think it is quite likely that Daemons and supplemental shared AoS models will follow (there just seems no way a GUO is not on the way), that is nothing but pure speculation, you could argue informed speculation, but speculation none-the-less.
Strictly speaking, this is 40k and only 40k thus far.
Oh, and that is Mortarion, let's not waste our time pretending otherwise. Scale. Match to leak. Weapon tech. There is no other possibility, though I certainly hope Typhus see's some love too as Ahriman did.
~1.5k
