Seventeen minutes, half of a roadmap, one box and the collectable nonsense...

Whoever did the planning for this whole event ought to be sprayed down with cans of that rotten swedish herring; they're disregarding basic event stuff by ending it on a huge letdown.

Warhammer heroes are a KT now? What kind of joke is this?

M.

They didn't even make it to 20m with this preview. One wonders why they set aside the time when they could've added it elsewhere?

Ah well. Outside of Sisters of Silence I own not a single one of those minis, so that works.

Woo. Very happy about the death world veteran, because I’ve been trying to justify making the masked spear chaos dude from underworlds into an inquisitiorial agent

Whoever spotted that Catachan spear in the Rumour Engine way back, well done.

But we were all wrong about it being new Catachans, it seems.

called that glaive as Sgt. Stone when I first saw it. Always glad to see Inquisitor not being forgotten...

Just wish they're remake it in modern plastics

It's cool that these things are happening.
It does, however, feel a bit...busy? Maybe that's the right word?

I would feel a lot better knowing that the Servitor and the two Guard-style Ministorum Preachers are separate sprues, allowing for individual releases.

The models look good at least.

That was me. Aren’t I clever. Sometimes. ?

Here's a shot of the back of the box, 5x Sisters of Silence and Tempestus Scions

I was hoping for a jokaero though

Article on Ashes of Faith is up

The stars of the show are the new Inquisitorial Agents. These shadowy specialists are an Inquisitor’s most valuable assets, whose unique skills and abilities are vital for fighting a war in the darkness.

Four of these acolytes can be each be built as two completely different operatives – the pistol-packing Interrogator can also become a knife-juggling Enlightener, for example – while there’s also an Autosavant, a faithful Tome-skull, and a Gun Servitor who can be armed (literally) with a heavy bolter, multi-melta, or plasma cannon.

The battle for the city of Deepwell – and with it, the very planet of Exhalus – is a push-and-pull struggle for control of vital locations, using decks of cards, reusable stickers, and chunky terrain tiles to create objectives, enlist conspirators, and hoodwink your opponent. The cards included are themed around the Inquisition and Cult forces included in the box, but they can be used by any Kill Team to run the campaign as you see fit.

Sounds like this might be a board game in disguise?

They could easily have wrapped the whole thing up in two days, and it would probably have been better received. LOTR and TOW was pretty much unneeded from a content point of view (i guess they wanted to affirm that they're still doing both in a very public way), that there was no BL session is just baffling, Necromunda would have been nice, and in general there were too many duds and too much time between revealst to let that really sink in. The decision not to stream the Q&A session is baffling as well, but i guess they do that due to legal reasons or whatever. All in all, i'd have wished for 'meatier' seminars, their short 15-minute presentations leave a lot to be desired and are very light on actual information. Which is also baffling, because they did good ones in the past.

Gun Servitor must be equipped with a Heavy Bolter, as required by Lex Imperialis (the ceremonial use of a Hvy Bolter demands it)

And oh, gunna need a skyshield landing plaftform and a valkyrie kit, like stat

Sounds like it, yeah, it's allegedly got narrative campaign events, so this could be some sort of 'Cursed City' analogue or an evolution of a BSF-like game. Sound like a lot of cardstock is involved, too.

I want those models. But. I think I’ll wait until the Inquisition are released outside of the big box

I suppose it would make sense to combine bsf and KT21. Well this sort of does it then?

In hindsight, should have known S3 cannot start until fall, since KT21 started summer/fall and a season = 1 year. Durr

Please let that servitor be a separate sprue

I'd say that's unlikely, but maybe a separate Servitor kit comes with thee Mechanicus codex? They should have enough CAD assets by now to just throw one out on the side.

Looks like we are going to get some new pointy ears to shoot at.

Something with green armor.

...wasn't the Rogue Trader box during KT 1.0 a campaign in a box, or am I mis-remembering that?

I’m underwhelmed by the inquisitor retinue. They seem so static and bland. Lots of big heavy robes that seem reminiscent of models released years ago, like flagellants. Or more recently, necromunda hive scum and redemptionists. I like the savant and servitor, but I’ll need to see how people convert the others before I want to get the whole team

Why is the servitor such a massive chungus boy?

If anybody wants it, i've made an overview of the various roadmaps, feel free to use and share:

Vat Grown, potentially a captured and repurposed Traitor Marine, maybe a failed Astartes Aspirant donated by a Chapter.

Could be a very scrawny Ogryn, it's not like they need a genius to make a servitor out of anyway

Why you listed for aos unknown battletome order? For one placeholder isn't same they been using so far and last time they used that placeholder was for 1st dawnbringer book.

Also after cos all order is done. Only tome left is fec.

 Lord Damocles wrote:

Possibly because GW's style is super buff dudes. Or because every Servitor is a failed Marine aspirant or a vat-grown creature suspiciously shaped like one.

In a more general sense, it might be because it's convention no one in the design study questions because sculpting entails a degree of standardization, even if the range of Servitors in the background is pretty extensive.

Also when they are sorting the raw materials and deciding what fills what roles, the big beefy bodies are more suited for gun servitors, while the little scrawny ones are more likely to be wired up as scribes

How come the previous [Marine] servitors weren't/aren't freakish giants too then..?

I will say that's a little too sensible for 40k in my opinion. I prefer the idea of having a scrawny dude who has a sturdy frame capable of carrying the heavy weapon built around him because when it comes down to it, the dude is little more than the CPU running the machine. GW's models aren't Blanchian enough for my taste, if you will. Not mismatched enough, too organic, too overtly fitting for the purpose.

IIrc both redone Starters use old models. For Warcry it's spelled out in the Roadmap, for Underworlds they said so in the stream.

Because they were based on misshapen midget Marines who weren't taller than a Cadian either?

Plus, you're free to throw in any amount of incompetence on part of the sculptors. Size and scale, and especially consistency, aren't their forte.

It looks like they just used a CAD asset for one of the Kataphron torsos and sculpted the rest around that.

Edit: not a Kataphron, but the dude from Combat Arena:




The torso layout is identical, the groin area and the head are different.

Maybe they feel uncomfortable with Servitors larger than themselves...? Or they just use their failed Neophytes, not vat-grown 'designs'.

To be fair, the old Servitors from 1st edition from Bob Olley and Jes Goodwin were larger than normal marines back then.

Ok. Thoughp mavbe q&a hinted at brand new faction

Biggest surprise to me is that they remembered that Gland warriors existed.

I really like this crew, my only worry is that they'll gut the Inquisitions customization on the rules side for locking you to these guys.|

EDIT: As long as they don't restrict Inquisitors to literally just an Autopistol, i'll be alright.

The q&a strongly hinted at FeC apparently.

That would fit except for placeholder that never been　used for battletome so far

It could also mean the new edition, we're awaiting that for Spring 2024, right?

Hopefully the inclusion of the powerfist/plasma pistol captain in the blind box will keep him out of legends and in the 10th rules. The only way to get him before was the lt. edition anniversary one from a few years back. Or kitbash.

Captain Messinius has the same load-out as well.

Oh, ok, it has 5 Sisters of Silence and 5 Storm Troopers. Well that's cool. 5 more of each would be great.

Mysterious... i guess it could always turn out to be some sort of random campaign book or whatever, i'll guess we have to wait and see. If they do their usual end-of-edition thing it could be some sort of narrative/campaign thing about alternative play modes, like Boarding Patrols or Cityfight etc.

By that time you'll be able to field whole companies of Catachan event & special edition models

Actually only the breast plate is similar (though not identical), all of the rest beside the pose not.

Sure, maybe they used some files, but that's how they make Space Marines. And the they did that with traditional sulpting too - the three DH and WH Inquisitors were based on the same pre-model.

Overall, I think this was one of the best GW previews in a long time:

* They actually showed off the future of plastic Heresy, not just a vague roadmap. Updated MK3 marines and plastic assualt squads (with plastic melee weapons further down the road)
* The 40k Leviathin Starter Set is incredible
* The AOS reveals, although not very indepth for Cities, had some great looking characters
* Sad confirmation that TOW will include a lot of resin models, though also some plastic kits. More importantly, the return of OOP kits like the Necrosphinx
* Some cool retinue models for kill team

Leave me and my kind out of this. You know nothing of our work.

I must admit enjoying the WHF presentations this year. Most of the redundant fat was simply lopped off, they showed the new stuff in a timely and appropriately neutral fashion (without gushing every two seconds, bravo!).

Unfortunately, a lot of the stuff shown will result in my grey plie growing quite significantly this year.. but I digress

THAT'S what was different, I couldn't put my finger on it but that's exactly it, it's not necessarily that they were showing off less, it's that they didn't spend ten minutes waffling about every new thing they revealed.

There’s not an Inquisitor in the box, the leader is an Interrogator.

For those interested to see what a 1500 pounds 'Warhammerfest Golden Throne Ticket' buys you in merchandise, Valrak has done an unboxing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP7kwC0WGkc

The contents:

- A branded rucksack
- 250 pound voucher you have to spend at the event
- Warhammerfest T-Shirt
- Limited Edition book from Black Library, in his case Ravenor Returned #468 (apparently the boxes are random)
- Sister of Battle action figure by Flametoys
- Blood Angel Primaris Lieutenant action figure by the same producer
- Blood Angel Primaris Helblast action figure by the same producer
- Ork Meganob with Shoota action figure
- four Forge World resin Primarch miniatures: Angron, Alpharius, Leman Russ, Sanguinius
- Adeptus Titanicus Civitas Imperialis terrain set
- Sub-cluster and storage fane terrain set
- Warhammer Underworlds Nethermaze set
- Space Wolves Combat Patrol
- Start Collecting Flesheater Courts
- Miasmic Malignifier terrain box
- Salamanders christmas box set
- two packs of dice
- some random Citadel-brand tools
- 1 year membership of WH+
- Every 10th edition codex and rulebook for free as a digital copy once they are released


He also did the unboxing for the 'Premium Ticket' gift box in the same video; the box is also included in the Golden Throne Ticket:

- Two limited edition models, in his case Tolgar Split-Eye and A Commissar's Duty
- Badge and Coin with Warhammerfest motive
- Branded water bottle
- a pack of dice
- discount code for the upcoming Rogue Trader cRPG

I've not even bothered adding it all up, but that honestly seems like a good chunk of loot for the ticket price. Somewhat random in content, but at the same time honestly if you didn't like some of the stuff you could just sell it on quite easily; and the £250 voucher is a smart move toward letting people have something for the day to spend on and get some specific choices.

Big ticket price and clearly targeting a very affluent and dedicated Warhammer fan (esp with a big 40K lean as there's way more in there than AoS or any other brand stuff); but honestly if you're that big a fan it looks like you're getting decent value when looking at RRP on all that stuff from GW direct.

I was unaware of these tickets. Seems like a good thing to have in place for those that want to make this event a bit more special.

The free codexes alone have a sticker price of several hundred pounds easily (nevermind how many of them you would have actually bought) and the 250 pound voucher is 16% of your spending back right away (if you have a wishlist that is more equally or more expensive, but let's face it, we do), and probably more if you just buy event exclusives and flip them on ebay or whatever. The one that stumps me is the limited edition books: these usually sell out fast, so i can only imagine that they use these boxes to get rid of returned merchandise, remaindered stock or stuff that could not be delivered, was not paid or otherwise unsold after the fact.

All in all, the value seems to be quite high, especially considering that the event access itself is already relatively expensive.

It's not a bad corporate move; basically it's a 'pay more than is reasonable' option for 'whales' and superfans - easy to make these people feel like it was worth it with boxes full of random and/or OOP stuff, while still earning a pretty penny on your insane margins and getting free publicity in the bargain. As long as it does not contain stuff that is completely inaccessible to normal people i have no problem with this at all.

Yeah I think that's the nice touch - its not stuff that you could only get with that huge sticker; its some rare stuff in there, but everything that's at some point been on retail and the majority of it is just regular retail stuff.

So yep a person with more disposable income/justification can get the box and have a great day; whilst regular fans are not left out.

It's all guerilla marketing for the upcoming Wild West themed set

Has anybody heard something about the GK? With the new librarian terminator armor, there has to be something. Size wise GK are fairly short so the new "everybody is the same size in Terminator armor" would be nice.

With so much of their chapter having Terminator armor and all being psychers, they deserve a little love.

I have two boxes of GK T-armor and I'll probably sell them if I hear any good news.

Basically Wizards sent out product early to a customer by mistake and thus sent Pinkertons to retrieve the cards.

Remember when GW sent someone Dante early and their response was "Cool paint job. Guess we better reveal him!".

WOTC took a... different approach.

The OGL thing was basically that the old one said 'You can use this in perpetuity to make your stuff, for free' and Wizards was of the opinion that their new version retro-actively cancelled stuff out that was made with the old license. I.e. that would have made a lot of their competitors, but also fan projects and open source stuff, liable for license payments or legal action. Luckily, it does not work that way at all, but the mere attempt caused a lot of bad blood.

Oh, absolutely, i'm not defending them in any way. I used to play magic in the past, but i'm a bit of a completionist for stuff like that and i could just not bear their stupid FOMO-maxing limited releases, 5+ altenate arts, 'Secret Lair' random drop and whatever bs else they piled on and on and on any longer, it was beginning to be more stress than an actual relaxing hobby...

Wizards/Hasbro to me is at the moment the absolute king of sleazy, predatory and abusive business practices in the physical game world.
