I hope this is true

Looks like it matches rumor engines and older leaks but that doesn’t mean much

Seems wishlisty, but kinda plausible? I would have expected a redone Valkia over a new name.

I thought it was implied to be Valkia as well in the latest campaign book, but Abraxia has popped up in white dwarf stories and other places, so it’s likely a new character

It sounds plausible but that's the problem with it, really? Other than some of the AoS chaos stuff which I don't know enough about to know if it was talked about somewhere, it seems to all be something that we already have had rumours about it coming.

It would be a bit odd to have nothing that wasn't already expected.

I mean, i'd be surprised to have another Nighthaunt warband so soon after the Headman's curse. Also Kurnothi seem to a thing that always seems to be on the edge of appearing but never does.

Kurnothi seems like its trapped in the same trap as Dark Oath - almost like a pet project of someone that proved interesting but then either never got green lit or the staffer left and no one picked it up or its budget keeps getting messed with along with longer term plans shifting around.


Sometimes the wheels at GW move in strange and slow directions at the same time.


That said if they add Kurnothi they can at least retire all the old Wood Elf stuff into Old World model range.

What wood elf stuff is even left? Just dryads?

Oh wait you're right GW removed the last of the Wood Elves from Cities of Sigmar (or at least its not appearing on the new webstore). I'd not noticed that lot leave (or if I had I've forgotten it)

Abraxia isn't Valkyia she The Lady of Ruin & the Varanguard second in command to Archaon

She currently fighting the Slave to darkness civil war against Be'lakor separatist. In a White dwarf we get a preview of her using a spear that can turn anyone into chaos spawn and the story ended with her getting new that the Harbinger of Decay failed her (it kind of funny really how he went off script to fight the ghoul herald and died) and she storm off to Hammerhald

this her presumed rumor engine

Valkia would be Blades of Khorne. This is supposed to be Archaon's answer to Eternus.

Nothing HH? We know something is being teased

I'm guessing that it will be a new core box set that includes Solar Auxiliary.

I have no real information to suggest otherwise, but I feel those rumors aren’t likely to be true.

Seems unrealistic we would get A) A 2nd Votann Kill Team B) A demon Warband in the Underworlds box right after the last box had demons C) A second Nighthaunt Warband so soon after the Headman’s Curse and D)neither of the Warbands for Warcry being Skaven and both a Warcry band and unit for their AOS army book.

We are definitely getting Bonereaper something after seeing the bone dog, and I heard there were rumors of a Brood Brother Kill Team, but I don’t really buy the rest. I could see the 40k stuff I guess.

We're getting a Drukhari killteam after having just received one in Soulshackle.

What happened to the teased Epidemius?

You are welcome to believe them. They just don’t seem like they follow GW’s trends very closely. I suppose a 2nd Votann Kill Team isn’t that surprising, as I think they are already scrapping the bottom of the barrel in KT (Specific Marine forces already). The rest seems pretty unlikely to me also. Also I don’t think Kunrothi heard mentioned since Beastgrave…I’m guessing they were a one and done thing.

Kurnothi is something that been shown and talk about ever since Beastgrave

Cursed city gave us a pre-blessed Kurnothi elf


The Neave Blacktalon show in Warhammer+ had kurnothi faun show up

then recently we got Belthanos who is the leader of the kurnothi and one accelerating the blessed created with the Wild hunt.


even his Dawnbrigner short was all about a Kurnothi centaur in his wild hunt chasing down a Ossiarch force
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/10/27/dawnbringer-chronicles-part-xii-spring-the-trap/

Given the amount of leaked pics of new stormcast showing up, I’m doubting that reveal schedule. The 4th edition cinematic likely wouldn’t show models

Third Nighthaunt warband for Underworlds?

Well gee I wonder what this is...

Finally, a Chaos Dwarf

Apparently this is a remaster of an old sculpt I've never seen before.

No longer able to hold the axe as high as in the past. Seems like even CSM get old

Wow, will we actually get a Chaos Lord with options? I may faint.

No guarantee on options but one can dream

I'm sure he'll have the option between one leg standing on a tactical rock, or one leg standing on a primaris helmet

I just want the trophies to not be primaris. This marine has been fighting for thousands of years but the only worthy trophy is from the relatively recent primaris marines?

Here's a thought, Solar Auxilia superheavy. It's pretty obvious from pictures on WarCom that GW has a plastic 28mm Shadowsword in reserve.

Maybe a Zone Mortalis themed starter? A new 2P box would be worth a teaser/trailer right?

I don't know why but I keep circling back to this.

Do we think a ZM starter could happen? Veletaris are missing Vanguard options and their Command Squad right?

Breachers in plastic v Veletaris?

Well, we’ve got Zone Mortalis terrain available via Necromunda, and have done for some years now. Indeed I’ve an inadvisable amount awaiting the tender attentions of my biggest drybrush.

Even a book ZM expansion for AoD would move all those gubbins up my production slate.

Wouldn't HH ZM use the Boarding Actions terrain tho? Necromunda ZM is obscenely expensive for the square footage needed.
