It's not even sold anymore, so my guess is that at best it will get a legends entry.

Yeah but that seems to go for all the non-aligned ones as well.
So I'd assume there's going to be a new box for them or something.

The novel Shadespire is half from the perspective of a Khorne worshiper and while he's an antagonist it shows him as fundamentally still being a person who is doing the right thing from his perspective, and hell given the events of the novel you can understand why Khorne wants him to kill the protagonist.

Spear of Shadows offer something similar as I recall with one PoV being off a Chaos, possibly Khorne, worshipper on the hunt for the plot macguffin.

Then there's also Scourge of Fate that is all about Chaos. Unaligned perhaps but still very much focused on how things work on their side.

Just assume it's because of the pandemic throwing huge wrenches in the release schedule gears. It's safe to assume that he was meant to be around in the game for far longer than what happened.

It's okay, the game is already dead because Dominion didn't sell out fast enough. The internet has told me this repeatedly already.

It's not dead, but it was sure as hell a marketing failure from GW's standpoint. They're still trying to flog starters and the command tokens four days after going up for preorder.

I was being 100% facetious.
Unlike the people baying for AoS's blood online.

I didn't buy Dominion because I don't have the money for, didn't want to spend that much for just Yndrasta, and my pile of shame is drat well long enough as it is.
But I wouldn't mind some of the new spearcast outside of her, even if I wish they'd have some of the new ones with swords.

They'll probably follow the usual pattern of being really great and then get hit with the nerf stick later on, once sales have died down.

Oddly enough the introduction of AoS had the effect of making more people want to play fantasy in my FLGS. I remember hanging out there when the game was announced and suddenly there was a noticeable bigger interest in that even over 40k.

By the sounds of things GW was so poorly managed pre-2016 that expecting this kind of rational management style is probably fairly off base.

The Kirby era wasn't great.
A lot of bad decisions were made, like limiting their social presence to facebook only when they had a twitter account already. White Dwarf got turned into a weekly magazine and they introduced Warhammer Visions as a glossier companion to that.
Then you have 40k 7th that was really just 6th edition with some very minor tweaks.
From what I can recall this was also around the time they handled Black Library so poorly that it made Dan Abnett not wanting to write for them (outside of health issues I think too.)
Then you have the infamous jewel-like objects quote and the insistence that all art must depict the models as they are or else people might get ideas!

I might be misremembering but I think that AoS actually helped bringing the GW stock out of a slump when it was released. Or I might have it confused with the 8th ed 40k release but they were definitely on the rise after that point stock wise.

Live blog post with pictures. Guess we're just getting those reveals.

Turns out the stream hosts got their info wrong:

quote:

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. And this is just the beginning – there’s a lot in store for the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

And by the same measure has also meant that :reject: call the game dead in the water because there's so many Dominion boxes left.
Meanwhile the box has been moved to last chance to buy on the GW store.

I figured that the Dominion box was intended to be an in stock item for the foreseeable future.

Nah, it was kinda obvious they were going to follow the Indomitus pattern with it and have it be a great starter for some and then replace it with smaller proper starter sets.

The basic rules should be available as a PDF online, but last time I checked there was a bit of a hurdle you had to jump through to get them via writing up your email and then you got a link.

Thankfully they are linked in the OP:

It's coming late because they're working on other Soulbound books like Champions of Death and Destruction.

Looks like Daves of Darkness players have something to look forward to with the next WD issue as they're doing another battletome update.

Tome Celestial: Slaves to Darkness is a huge boon to Chaos worshippers. Including rules updates spanning six pages, this considerable battletome update presents revamped allegiance abilities and core battalions, as well as new rules for open and matched play formats, and a suite of rules for using Slaves to Darkness in Path to Glory campaigns. This bevy of official rulings comes straight from the game designers – an official, tournament-legal update to Battletome: Slaves to Darkness itself – so don’t get caught without them when you bring your forces of the Everchosen to your next event.
