Tomorrow. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/04/27/next-week-australian-championship-final-warhammer-preview/ If you’re at the store, the preview will take place after the games wrap up on Saturday, but don’t worry if you’re not able to make it, as we will have all of the news from the preview right here, on Warhammer Community, just as soon as it finishes.
It's six in the morning in Queensland right now, so realistically I'd put it at another ten to twelve hours.

I hadn't heard about this.
Mt Gravett (in Brisbane) seems a bloody odd choice. Melbourne or Sydney would have been a more logical choice for a championship store.

It was likely chosen as it used to be (I think? Even if it was, I'm not sure if it still is) the largest store in Australia. Somewhat bizzarely (I guess), it's been one of their key stores in Australia long before they introduced this whole "Championship Store" thing.

Tbh it might be, I'm not 100% sure. I haven't actually set foot in either, so I'm just going off what I've heard.
EDIT: But yeah hopefully the preview is interesting. It'd be a bit lame if it was something like new exclusive models for WHW, the championship stores and whatever the big store in Texas is called again (was it the Citadel?).

If it starts at 6:30 then don't expect anything till 30 mins-1 hour later. They usually only post stuff on the community site within 2-5 minutes after the preview wraps. It's already past midnight here I don't think i'm gonna stay up for this.

The Chaos Legions getting a chaos kit for Knights is something I'm surprised has taken this long in coming, though pleased to see it arrive (though I'm sure Duncan won't be  ).
The terrain for AoS is also looking great, and its nice to see GW expanding that line a lot for the game after all the great works they've put out for 40K.
It also seems like they are going to start teasing one warband at a time to us until June/July

High heels, as the name suggests, tend to have the heels be higher than the toe, unlike this guy's boots. 
The big lion-thing will be useful for Necromunda, I think, as something for the arbitrator to savage gangs with, or as a custom Brute for Chaos Cults.
The whip looks about the same as the Escher Shock Whip, and I've had no trouble with those in the 18 months since the game came out.

Post by: Overread
Similar views all round it seems. GW has been good at keeping souped armies out of AoS thus far, I just hope that the mercenaries might be a feature of a Forbidden Powers Campaign blooklet system. Ergo an optional part of an expansion that lets you play with it; but isn't designed nor intended to penetrate into Matched play as a standard (which is what GW did with Endless Spells and has nearly done with Realm spells/features)

Cool that the Iron Hands are finally getting a named character. Hopefully it isn't the only named character coming up. He is in Gravis Armor, so perhaps he is going to be a part of a bigger Gravis release.

I was just wondering the same thing. Stronos, being an established character, would be neat. He is the closest thing the Iron Hands have to Chapter Master, so it would be a pretty potent character too.
Hopefully he is the first of a string of named characters getting models.

Aawww. I like the goat lion. Cute kitty.
The Warcry band looks good enough, although there's some silly heads in there.
GW took their time with Chaos Knights. I guess they needed something to give to Chaos for Apocalypse.
Skitarii transport took ages, too. I hope it looks good.
Terrain is still nice.

Presumably some Iron Hands marines won't be able to undergo the change to Primaris.
It'd be nice of we got a Kor Phaeron style explanation, that they are mostly bionics within the new suits.
Give us a bionic upgrade sprue please GW.

The chaos warband is bloody excellent. These are the Chaos Marauders I have always wanted. I will definitely get some, maybe even enough for a small AOS army. I think they would go great with the Darkoath characters.
And in general, I think these Warcry teams are an amazing thing for Chaos. So much more options. You can theme your army around aesthetic of one warband, or you could make each unit unique, representing an army that some warlorld has drawn from several different tribes.
The Iron Hand character is great, though I'm disappointed that it is a named character instead of a generic one. I really want a Primaris Techmarine.

Seeing as that Iron Father has only one embossed IH emblem* on his shoulder, what are the odds "named" doesn't translate to generic model with a named datasheet? Similar to the BA/DA/SW primaris LTs have names but are also essentially generic models. I could see the Iron Father coming with a second generic shoulder guard and a generic head to make a primaris techmarine.
I just don't see GW not capitalizing on generic primaris techmarine. So I would bet it comes in a character box like the captain and apothecary rather than a blister.
*The knee pad looks to be painted or a transfer rather than embossed.

It will be interesting to see if there are generic rules for a primaris techmarine, or if he remains just a special character. As an example, they could have taken the opportunity of releasing the victrix honour guards to make rules for generic primaris HG, but didn’t. No lore reason why the role isn’t filled in other chapters, specifically the primaris only ones, but no model, no rules.
Looking at that shoulder, I think it might be one piece, so a harder swap than just a blank pad. Could be wrong. I like the model and might grab one. Always like techmarines, even if their rules have frequently been spotty.

I can, but we need rules for a techmarine with this gear. I guess it is fair for IH to get a special character, but I've never been a fan of special characters, they're such a waste. I always prefer more widely usable normal characters over them.

Gotta love watching goalposts move in real time.
What happened to all the "stop being such Chicken Littles of course GW are going to keep making minimarines!"? Now it's "well Primaris are better anyway and OMG just shut up".
I don't collect or particularly care for minimarines as models(I vastly prefer their aesthetic, background, and everything else of course, because I have taste), and even I think you lot are 'avin a larf.
Nice to see an Iron Hands character. Shame it's Primaris, for people who don't like those, and also a shame it's too late for me to find it appealing given the mauling GW have given the Chapter in recent years.

That has always been two different groups of people. I for one have been convinced since the release of the first Primaris models that the old marines are done for. And I'm fine with that.

The AM range are IMO some of the best looking models GW have made in recent years. So I'm really looking forward to them getting more stuff.
Chaos Knights getting a dedicated release should be interesting from both a models and rules perspective.
The AoS terrain continues to look great. I forsee a lot of battles over ruined temples ahead 
The Warcry gang/clan beast is interesting. Could this be there "brute" where the other clan got an Ogre?

seperate kit, GW hasn't released a upgrade kit of that type in ages. (the AT stuff is forge world)
the big question is "will this also include a chaos Knight CODEX"?
IMHO they'll need to do something to drive sales, most people intreasted in running a chaos knight as it stands already have converted an Imperial Knight. but there are a lotta chaos players, myself included, on the fence who might snag a few if given a codex.

Probably. But we haven't had a big Marine release in two years. So I wouldn't be surprised. But CSM had eight kits. I would more expect to see just the the Infiltrators, Eliminators, and Suppressors, and then two or three Gravis kits. Who knows.

And they'll be part of a game system that takes place in AoS's universe on a world that has geography and cultures similar to that of Earth's (albeit fantastical), with combat that's heavily based on classical, close order formations instead of loose blobs of infantry running around everywhere like headless chooks.

I have everything I need for my SM collection but newbies will be stuck in the future with imo atrocious Primaris models with the exception of the tactical dudes (Intercessor?).
Speaking of classic SM kits only one comes to my mind which I would have had in my collection:
The techmarine with the artillery piece on tracks. It was first released in metal and was said to be a nightmare to assemble and so I didn´t buy it. Later it was released in finecast and everybody and his dog know that you don´t buy anything related to this material. So I am asking now: When will this kit be released in plastic?

imagine being so utterly privileged and entitled that you receive a brand new plastic HQ model for your faction out of the blue and whinging that he's wearing the wrong kind of shoes so he doesn't match perfectly with the particular one of the four up-to-date variant kits produced for your faction's basic troop choice you like best.
I'm sitting here staring at the current techmarine and this new dude has very slightly different shoes, very slightly different kneepads and probably the little round thing on his backpack...honestly the new guy's armor is actually closer to the classic space marine armor design than the existing techmarine. He doesn't have the segmented leg armor, chestplate is round like oldmarines rather than flat, backpack has vents like oldmarines unlike current guy whose servo rig attachment points replace the vents...

Christ, the people thinking that the Iron Father is wearing high heels are clearly demonstrating they have never seen, nor worn, boots before. SMDH.
My US Army boots have heels on them too. So do USMC issue boots. And work boots. And hiking boots. And...basically all boots.
In other news, I am really liking the Gravis armor on this guy. It has less of a bowl shaped cowling around the head. I don't care that he is an Iron Hands Character, I am getting him anyway (using my extra Aggressor helmet instead of the head). Seems like he will be great surrounded by a bunch of Aggressors (who also wear "high heel" boots).
I really don't see them making Gravis armored Troops, but some Heavy Support dudes rocking heavy weapons would be awesome. We already have two other Gravis armor kits for them to run with. My ideal release would be the following:
Iron Father
Primaris Techmarine (in Gravis Armor)
Heavy Support Gravis Armor Marines
Multi-part Infiltrators
Multi-part Eliminators
Multi-part Suppressors
New Primaris Transport

I have everything I need for my SM collection but newbies will be stuck in the future with imo atrocious Primaris models with the exception of the tactical dudes (Intercessor?).
Speaking of classic SM kits only one comes to my mind which I would have had in my collection:
The techmarine with the artillery piece on tracks. It was first released in metal and was said to be a nightmare to assemble and so I didn´t buy it. Later it was released in finecast and everybody and his dog know that you don´t buy anything related to this material. So I am asking now: When will this kit be released in plastic?
congrats you just explained why Primaris exist.
Because they have nothing new you want. the classic line is complete. they can only expand it by redoing stuff that already exists, (and yeah a plastic thunderfire would be nice) OR releasing hyperspecialized units (how many people do you figure bought the anti-air tanks?)
Primaris allow them, at least for now, to sell the old stuff still (they still look decent although following the CSM kits yeah they're definatly an older kit) well also putting out a TON of new Space Marine units that the fans will buy, and possiably in alrge numbers

They're fighting with pieces of bone, instead of real weapons. Boots are understandably a hi-tech luxury product for them. I absolutely love that they have bare feet, makes them look more wild and feral.

WRONG! GW tries in vain to sell me SM all over again. Only fools would fall for this obvious business scheme. Up to this day I haven´t purchased a single Primaris product and I never will.

In the 2 years I've been back in the game, I have purchased significantly more "regular" Astartes than Primaris.
The new Space Marine Heroes are brand new, posed dynamically & with a bit of kitbashing can make/add flavour to your "regular" Astartes.
So I guess they'll never release a new kit for "regular" Astartes again, even tho they have & when series 2 is available there will be BRAND NEW TERMINATOR sculpts.

It's power armor and heroic scale, so the heel is a little exaggerated.
A little I give you the award for understatement of the month

Can we take the Primaris / Astartes complaints elsewhere please? Thanks.

Limited run Japan first collectable blind mini purchases does not a new marine kit make. I'd be shocked to see anything but primaris releases from here on in.

It does make new classic marine models released after Primaris however, regardless of it not being a main line kit.
Having said that, If you take the whole lot of series 1 together it is pretty much a multi-part but mono-pose tactical squad kit like most GW squad kits released in the last 3 years or so. Same for the series 2 terminators.

Just bone weapons?! In a nutshell: They couldn´t solve the Riddle of Steel.

It's not really a riddle they need to solve if it's meant to be Realmstone, which in Ghur takes the form of bones.

No, I'm well aware of the Conan movies with Ahnald.
Just it's a weird nitpick when they hail from a Realm where bone weaponry that puts steel to shame is entirely a possibility.
