List of current model kits that will be officially included in Warhammer 9th. He later posted that this list is accurate, but incomplete, meaning there may be additional kits that survive that are not listed, with the implication being that you should be OK to purchase and paint these kits (but not base).

7 Champions and an army of light.No more Lizardmen, but still playable.
No more Gnoblars/Skinks. They become Goblins.
No more Beastmen.Elves become more Eldary, units take on aspects of their gods.
AdvertisementThere are some units like the Blood Knights that I expected to survive into 9th, but the events of the books have made me doubt this is going to happen anymore. They were due to be updated. Plus it fits with the new merging unit policy, not sure that’s happening anymore though. Something similar happened to the Bone Giant, that being said I heard the Bone Giant was getting a redesign and a release some point in the future.
The game will become more Fantasy like, less cannons and warmachines. More magical. It’s not just the “Humans” that get empowered by the gods all factions will experience this.
Now compare and try to make out the trends from the last set of 9th rumors:

That list is basically most of the recent and oversized (ready pricy) WFB kits from GW. Interesting to note one old model who’s not on there – Archaon. Hmmm… Also of note is that zinger in the first sentence about waiting to base your models. The chatter regarding WFB 9th and round bases continues.
