I think that would probably be for book 5 more. We've already seen 4 with Ushoran and probably the FEC's full release along with it. I could well be wrong, but i think 4 is going to be FEC dominated along with snake vamp.

Rules for the Fang of Nulahmia will be available as a free download on Warhammer Community. You’ll also find her in Dawnbringers: Book IV – The Mad King Rises, alongside an Army of Renown specifically designed for cabals of vampiric agents (and their beloved pets).

The Mad King Rises also contains plenty more for Death armies, including six Regiments of Renown – one for each Mortarch! Check back in the new year for more coverage.

They won't be counting the FEC release as part of the book, just like Cities of Sigmar wasn't counted as part of the other Dawnbringer books.

Ah yes. Couple inquisitors are obviously cloned in their thousands to fill up the thousands roaming Sigmar's realms

Right, because a "Build Your Own Inquisitor/Order of Azyr Agent" setup won't end up being netlisted at all...

Yes, the perfect reason to eliminate options for the player.

lol, what options?


There's 3 "main" groups of the Order of Azyr:
-Stakesmen, nullstone specialists in anti-magic.
-Pyremen, traitor-hunters
-Maskbreakers, the rarest of all and specialists in hunting shapeshifters.

There's literally ONE of those groups that is relevant to the lore and game in the form of Stakesmen. The others are effectively RP fodder.

Now, if you want to argue that Order of Azyr should have a unit of "spellhunters"(a thing mentioned that Stakesmen lead)? Cool, I'm game.

But no generics, no full subfaction. It would just be making the Sigperium Sigquisition.

You can let different games be different.

It's almost like those groups are are tailor made for a small scenario driven skirmish game........like a Warcry band? Warcry bands get AoS rules. That's just the way it is.

I don't really see what your deal with having a generic Witch Hunter is.......they existed in Fantasy in droves, they exist in 40k in droves.....and I'm sure they exist in droves in the AOS world. Heck, Hexbane's Hunters are pretty much just that.....generic Witch Hunters given names....they aren't really extraordinary in any way.

I don't doubt we will see generic Witch Hunters in the game in some form or another eventually, and I don't see why having an option you don't have to use is so upsetting.

New store anniversary model:

Neat! Not really an army that needs more heroes, but that does look like a nice one.

Oh he's nice.the cape and axe are especially good

Save for his arm and thigh, he’s lacking ur gold runes

Does his mustache look weird to anyone?

Great 3d print lines on that one.

Looks nice as far as Fyrslyrs go.

Yes. But until (if at all) I see the model in bare plastic, I'm willing to believe that the sculpt is fine and it's just a victim of GW's love of extreme edge highlighting.

Where are you seeing them? I might have tired eyes after being up for NYE, but I don't see anything obvious.

Exceptionally slight one on the knee - and some very faint ones on the flat of the axe head in the lower small image on the right.

Though honestly outside of photos you might not even spot them to the naked eye and its been known for a long time that GW 3D prints masters for the painters to paint up for release in advance.

Whitefang has confirmed a rumour that Chaos Dwarfs are coming in AoS4. Exciting!

I saw that. I think the vast majority of that stream was wishlisting.

Edit: never mind, I just saw who the poster was. So skaven and chaos dwarves. Quite a chaos year.

Is that fyreslayer cloak a rumor engine pic?


I've always loved the fyreslayer aesthetic, but yes they don't need more heroes

Don't recognise it. But it's only a store anniversary, so it's not like most people are going to be able to get it anyway.

Keep in mind this rumour is only really saying Chaos Dwarfs in AoS 4 not necessarily in 2024. The year of an edition launch also normally only has the two launch factions and some single model battletomes so I wouldn't expect anything big until early 2025 and wouldn't expect a new faction until mid/late 2025

Unless its Chaos Dwarves VS Skaven in the box! But that would be rather nuts

True enough. But the fact he's basically confirmed it would say to expect sooner rather than later.

I'm interested to finally see what the AoS take on Chaos Dwarfs looks like, but yeah, probably still too far off to think about now.

Well to be frank, their original look suits AoS more than fantasy anyway. Especially with all the daemon engines and hats.

I hope GW thinks so as well. Big hats are a must as far as I'm concerned. You can probably tell I wasn't a fan of Forge World's effort.

Considering Brokk Grungsson and his big ass hat, i don't think they'll shy away from them.

Nah gw is predictable enough with sets.

Also if no stormcast then no reason to believe skaven true since stormcast rumours from same source.

It would never be chaos v chaos anyway.

So it's an alt sculpt for an existing hero, one which can only be found as part of the $110 magmadroth kit currently -_-

I'm not sure, there is a decently large body of evidence for Chorfs being on their way for AoS. To the point where they have reached 'all but explicitly stated' status. The hints started back in the launch stream for 3rd so it seems they've had the time. We'll see I suppose!

As a poster from the UK - assuming your flag is accurate - how the heck do you figure that?

Because not everyone has easy access to a store? Nor necessarily the time to get to one during the week they have it either? I've had to use the loot group for nearly every one i've wanted thus far.

Yeah, that top hat came to mind. Of course we're talking about monkey's paw a lot lately when it comes to GW delivering, so hey, hopefully they don't want to preserve a single special character's status by making all the Chaos Dwarf hats smaller than they should be.

On the other hand, what better reason to turn evil than hat envy? I could see GW's designers coming up with that idea.

I think of it much the same as Matrindur described above. Sure, we'll get to 2025 in time, but even then that's the most optimistic estimate and there's a lot of stuff in the meantime (and not just GW or wargaming in general) to spend brainpower on.

Not every place has gw store?

Our country has whopping 1 place to get.

Guess do players from other cities head for that store

Gw stores are common in uk but in other countries non-gw stores more common.

 Inquisitor Gideon wrote:

It's not likely, but not impossible. Both aren't traditional Chaos factions and Warcry started as a game with just Chaos warbands. Chaos Dwarfs vs Skaven fighting it out in the depth of a mountain hold could have some cool industrial terrain, too, as both armies have this vibe.

But yes, sounds too good to be true...

I think the edition starters are the only place stormcast are guaranteed to get a box lol, unlike space marines they don't always get holiday battleforces, etc.
