AoS NEW *rumor*

Just went through all the images and the units that haven't shown up yet are:
Skink Priest
Razordons
Saurus Scar Vet on Cold One
Saurus Oldblood on Foot
Saurus Sunblood
Astrolith Bearer
Lord Kroak

I wouldn't be surprised if the Astrolith Bearer and maybe the normal Skink priest are gone and the Oldblood on Foot get his model removed and is only available through the Carnosaur but I really want to know why the Razordons and Kroak weren't shown

They could be gone, but it would be purely speculation. I could see the old Skink Priest disappearing, but I would be surprised if we lose the Astrolith Bearer due to the role he plays in our summoning mechanics.
 
OOPS! I was wrong! Knights showed up in one of the first images. I guess I tried to block out those sleepy looking Cold Ones... ha ha ha. Sorry about that.

Edit: However, it does make me wonder what GW might do with the rules for Knights? If they keep them roughly like they are now (which based on the warrior stat line we saw it's likely), it's the choice between hit: 3 / rend -1 club, or hit: 4 with the chance for a mortal wound spear (either on the attack or the wound). It would be nice to have range: 2 on those spears/lances at least.

Oldblood Warscroll shows the one that comes in the clampack.
 
Also, anyone else notice that the Sacred Asterisms are no longer linked to the Slann Warscroll. They also say you get to choose them.
Not being forced to take a Slann in Coalesced for those will be nice.
 
For weapon loadouts missing are
Skinks with blowpipes (Both with shield and clubs)
Saurus Knights with blades (only the Alpha had them in the image)
Scarvet on Carnosaur with Greatblade
Bastiladon with Ark of Sotek
Stegadon with Sunfire Throwers and the Skink Alpha version

I don't think we will lose any of them

Your are right forgot about that but I still think his old model will be gone
 
On the subject of the Oldblood, I wonder how carnosaurs will get changed. I think it’s almost certain that they will both get 3+ saves. I’m also guessing more attacks and better rend for them
 
Also in the Temple image the Skink Starpriest is on a 32mm base but in the big one it looks like its on his old 25mm base so could be changed?
Or could just be a mistake they did on one of them

I would hope so. Them and the Trog need a bit of rend on their melee attacks.
Though the Carno needs it more considering it's a melee hero.

Frogs are exciting still. I'm thinking of getting a second one.

I too am hoping this is the outcome. With any luck we will still have the sign of the Mage's Staff and the Hunter. Just getting an army wide +1 to casting is great. Add in the Saurus AB if he stays unchanged and your Trogg could be looking at an impressive +3 to casting. Maybe even we will get some bonuses to unbinding or something like a dispel scroll.

I think they doubled down on the support role of the trog with the buffs to his casting. its gonna end up like a fyreslayer magmadroth with a smiter… not really a close combat monster, but able to be close support and maybe fight its way out of a wet paper bag if it gets caught lol

IKR. I am just hopping Kroak will have a +2 built into his warscroll and that the Slann Starmaster will be +1. It is a big ask, but fluff certainly supports it. Oh, and for them still to cost the same MPP :D
