So long as it is under $300 and has an actual Slaan "meditation" chamber inside, i'm totally sold on the idea

That is a very cool idea. But I would scratch-build mine.
It is such an easy thing to scratch build I wonder if they would risk the $$ to make an injection mold for something like that.
I would like to know the real costs on this stuff.

From a business standpoint a kit that allows the creation of several different KINDS of monoliths would be much smarter, if it only worked for beast men, orcs, chaos, lizards, sigmarines, and elfses...
...that would enlarge the potential pool of buyers by 6x as opposed to making a kit that is only good for one army.

I think you mean Orruks and Aelfses!
It would need to have enough character and complexity to make it buy-able and dissuade others from scratch-building - generalising it too make it applicable to multiple factions might undermine it. Perhaps something similar to the Tesseract Vault (albeit, smaller):

They could be total bastards and sell a core kit and then also sell upgrade sprues for different factions...

...................................................this is so obvious that I am ashamed not to see it coming.....
Of course the 8 lores of magic will only be available in their apropiate realms...
I bet you that we will have the "reality bubbles" touch and that is how you can pick different lores!

So is there going to be a download of all these realms and terrain rules? Ya know for basic ordinary terrain elements like hills...
...I am sorta getting a vibe that all terrain, they call it scenery, needs to and should be exotic, fantastic! or otherwise extraordinary.

Now that leaves us with the burning question of what has become of Sotek, The Serpent God? Would the Lizardmen still revere it as at an equal level as the Old Ones or will Sotek be written out of the current fluff?

New scenery rules are hosted (thanks for the heads up @Lady_Atia):
'Baleful Realmgates' Rules
So much for that lone wizard in the corner dropping summons...
These would be very fun for Seize Ground, too. I like their look & rules. Sweet mural over its arch.
'Ophidian Archway' Rules
Bravery-based attacks & cover! This looks like a nice piece, too.
They even made rules for the Island of Blood box! Pretty smart of them:
'Island of Blood' Warscrolls
GW site w/ ordering stuffs (UK):
'Baleful Realmgates' Order Page
'Ophidian Archway' Order Page
2-fer: 'Ophidian Archway' & 'Baleful Realmgate' Combo Order Page

So, dwarfs need to add a Wizard or a Priest (from another army—non-dwarf warscroll) to travel a bit safer thru one of these RealmGates. Yes?
Do Wizards need a second Wizard to see them safely (well safer) thru the realmgate? Or does a Wizard auto-protect his own self?

I'd assume 'yes' to both (Wizards not needing a second wizard, mind you)... and that dwarves (Longbeards, especially) would be very distrustful of both the gate itself and whoever recommended they go through it.

Wizards and Priests (characters) count as units. Units have to be within 6" at the beginning of the movement phase to move through it. A wizard or a priest has to be within 6" when the unit moves through it in order to control it. I think the rules would suggest that the wizard moving through the gate can can also control it.

Agreed! And it just kinda makes sense from a fluff standpoint, y'know?

Tzeentch cometh
"via birds in the trees 7-18-2015
– August will focus almost entirely on Chaos
– Look for Chaos themed terrain
– New Khorne boxed sets to build off of what is in the AoS boxed set – basically the Khorne version of the Stormcast Eternal kits we’ve seen these past few weeks.
– Look for Tzeentch to make appearance at the tail end of August
– Tzeentch is said to getting lavish attention this year in both Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000. Whispers of the new all plastic Lord of Change abound."
