They will almost definitely show Shadespire at GenCon and Origins though.

Aelves - hinted at with the recent Overlord release
Deathrattle - to coincide with the Shadespire release
Nurgle - to tie into the new 40k models and bring their Battletome up to speed with the other chaos gods
Personally, I fear Shadespire. I don't need _another_ way to game AoS, but I want that female Stormcast for certain and playing a quick pick-up game in the Mortal Realms is enticing. If we can also use our current AoS models Shadespire may be irresistible. :/

I mean, I know there was that Midnight thing by FFG, but that started off with the villains triumphant, so not sure that counts.
In Warhammer, gamers had been reading and playing the conflict between order and chaos for 30 years...only to have chaos victorious.
Am I missing other settings where the antagonists eventually won out?

Clever.
So, Chaos destroyed the old world, and if I understand the AoS background correctly, Sigmar's early alliance failed and Chaos they pretty much also wrecked the Mortal Realms claiming like 7 or 8 of the 9 realms during the Age of Chaos. The current, Age of Sigmar, is Sigmar using his newly forged Stormcasts to reclaim territories, retrieve artifacts, etc. Order is still on the ropes and trying to push back from the few hold outs when possible.

Supposedly Blightwar is going to do more to further the story, specifically of course in regard to Nurgle. I am getting a review copy of it and I'm pretty excited- I didn't get any of the second Stormcast release and it has all of them plus that bad ass lady hero. AND THE SNAIL DUDE. I'm also going to have about 1200 points worth of Nurgle after it too, which is awesome.
It's funny, I was never that interested in Nurgle, now here I am doing it in AOS and in 40k with the Death Guard. BTW- their new 40k stuff coming out looks AWESOME. Mortarion is just nuts.

Historically, I've always found Khorne to be the least appealing of all the Warhammer factions. I've paused my Silver Tower painting because my son and I have been doing AoS Skirmish and all his SEs are painted up. I've moved over to painting the Khorne guys...and I actually enjoy it. Well, this first group at least. Cool models. I put a pic up in that 'What minis thread'.
I've almost...almost...considered getting the Khorne BT.

Of course I'm the dude that never does all the blood splatter because I think it looks fucking stupid.

I'm not into all the blood splats and demonic blood letting. Heck, I've snipped the severed heads out of the reavers' hands.
Tzeentch and Nurgle are kinda fun. Khorne...a bit too serious.
That's why I've got the cartoonish fonts for the warband, the colorful skin, the almost Thundarr/He-man like setting backdrop in their glamour shot....I'm totally sanitizing Khorne to my taste.
Also, why I haven't picked up the BT. Not sure it's the vibe I want in AoS.
I'm not looking for Cannibal Corpse when I push AoS plastic toys around....I'm wanting Gloryhammer.
