It looks like we’re going to see more Age of Sigmar over the next few weeks. Come see the factions and BIG new units that will make up the releases!

BoLS has been receiving word from multiple sources over the last week regarding upcoming Age of Sigmar releases:

We have seen the following in the last 6 weeks starting in mid December:

Archaon – 2 weeks

Fyreslayers – 3 weeks

Chaos Grand Alliance – 1 week

The following factions are all reported to be coming in Q1-2, arriving before summer. Note that these are not said to be coming one after another and 40K/30K are going to be interspersed in here.

Each faction will feature a large “centerpiece kit”

  • Undead (said to be the next Age of Sigmar Faction after Fyreslayers)

  • There will some type of large undead giant coming with them.

  • Oruks

  • Look for the new range to emphasize the “savage” aspect of the greenskins.

  • Duardin

  • These are said to have a very different aesthetic from the Fyreslayers.

  • Their centerpiece model is described as a large humanoid construct.

It seems like after the Magmadroth, and Archaon we’re seeing more and more BIG centerpiece kits for the various Age of Sigmar factions.

Not one but TWO factions of Dwarves, ah, ah, ah!
