Possibly, but my big called shot is Ushoran is getting a model, because they’ve built up in Dawnbringer short fictions that the Carrion King is straining at his prison and Belthanos is going to go fight him and/or the Ossiarchs trying to keep him penned. And the Carrion King is Ushoran.

Yeah, there have been way too many references to Ushoran lately for it to be an accident. There's also been a whole bunch of references to the "Summer King" and his wine which turns people into frenzied cannibals. New Ghouls for FEC have also leaked (from someone dumpster diving at GW HQ no less and finding prototype sprues lmao). Gonna guess we're gonna get Ushoran as a big centerpiece kinda guy for FEC in the last Dawnbringers book, which leads to a new FEC book (finally) which includes a whole bunch of revamped models. Hopefully the new models include a bunch of calls to them being delusional Bretonnians. FEC has the coolest backstory of any faction and probably the most dire models. It'd be amazing to see what they could do with them.

Fourth edition starter will be new Flesh Eater Courts vs new Skaven, calling it now.

I would dearly love to see that but I don't think it's happening. (Order faction here) vs skaven is my bet. I think we're going to see a partial revamp of FEC along with their book at end of this edition, and maybe Malaketh elves as a new faction at launch if they decide to turn on the money faucet for 4.0.

We have the rules for the blacktalons in AOS and Warcry https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/11/01/put-the-blacktalons-to-work-hunting-down-foul-foes-with-free-downloadable-rules/

Any idea when the battleforces are likely to go up for preorder on Saturday UK time? I seem to remember usually around 10am GMT?

However, Stormcast don't sell nearly as much as space marines as a proportion of total AOS sales. They are a pretty popular faction but nowhere near as disproportionately so as space marines are in 40k. And, well, GW knows this at this point, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if the 4th ed starter would be something like COS for the order faction. Would be a good opportunity to flesh out the nu-COS range. COS and Skaven is also a matchup that makes a ton of thematic sense.

I for one as a stormcast players welcom all new stuff including starter sets. Only reason I didnt jump on Ionnus wagon is that I have enough stormdrake guard (with is a unit that constantly fails to deliver at least for me).

I love my Stormcast, but absolutely don't want any more units. The book is way too bloated as it stands.

They could make a Horus Heresy/30k type game that was just different clans of skaven fighting each other and it would be thematically on point and i would buy it day one

The stormcast range sens to suffer even more than the primaris marines in that if you aren’t in the know with their roster it’s just an endless parade of very similar dudes with nonsense names. It’s gotta be Thunderstrike Hammerbounds instead of Stormcast Warriors w/Great Weapons

Some day I want to do a beasts focused list for the Stormcast. It'll probably suck but I don't really care.

The new Stormground RTS has redesigned Liberators in it, maybe they'll make it a do-over of the first edition starter with new sculpts for already-existing units? Edit: I got the name wrong, it's called Realms of Ruin paperface fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Nov 2, 2023 |

This the rumor my Stormcast buddy is running with. A bunch of the first-gen stormcast getting redone and some kind of Skaven refresh (I’m hoping for new Eshin and Rat Ogors) are the 4ed starter box.

GW is famous for tying in hype from their licensed games to their model and game release schedule, I said in the Age of Sigmar thread.

That's almost certainly what will be in the 4th Ed launch box I reckon

I would absolutely love a second pass at the first generation stormcast stuff to bring them in line with the thunder strike armor guys. Especially the prosecutors, liberators and judicators.

As a SCE player, I would be delighted if every model and profile from before 3.0 was fired into the sun. If SCE are supposed to be the onboarding, for-your-little-bother faction, they're terrible at it, and they're too scattered and tied down by legacy rules to be a good match for experienced players.

But they feel way over done to the obvious detriment of other factions releases at this point and even Stormcast players seem really annoyed at how many of their units are pointless or uninteresting from what I've personally observed. I'd love to be wrong and have something other than SCE in a starter though

Friend and I attempted our first actual full A0S game last night. We only managed a couple of rounds before it got late and we called it quits, but it was still a good time. Looking at rules today we missed a lot of stuff, but that's ok. Couple of questions about the General's Handbook. It says any terrain piece that doesn't have a warscroll is supposed to get a roll on the mysterious terrain table. So everything on the table gets an extra rule? That seems like a pain to keep track of. Also, we can only choose Grand Strategies and Battle Tactics from the GHB right? No using the ones in your army book?

You could do the terrain rules, but they suck and they're an even bigger pain in the rear end than you guessed. I don't think I've played with them beyond the one time. You can take strats and tactics from both the GHB and your army book, unless you're playing an Army of Renown. This season, that'd really only be the specialty armies out of the Dawnbringers books. Your army may also get some freebie battle tactics and strats to try to juice their rankings from the FAQs, so check those out at some point as well. This is kind of a trick question: how many enhancements did you take?
