Either way, this is now going to be 5 hours of wishlisting in this thread till the reveal.

Looks like 4 boring things to me! Even if they are Aelf, the Lion, Dabius and a Noisemarine, it hardly warrants the hype around the reveal. I'm expecting more and at the same time ready to be disappointed.

That definitely looks like Eomer on the far left, he has been mooted to appear for a long while now.

GW have, reputedly, blown an absolute mammoth amount of money on what's coming through the Adepticon reveals. I think it'll be pretty wild, for once.

Well at least he's consistent. Ork news: exciting. Non ork news: boring ;-)

1st one I'm on Eomer camp. GW likely have specialist games reveals anyway so makes sense has something there as well on silhouettes. Now whether to finish painting old one or not...Hopefully good looking though scale creep is annoying.

2nd one could be something for new high elves. 3rd one is already leaked. 4th....???

We've seen Fabius in the leaks, so we know what #3 is. Definitely agree that #1 is Eomer, and #2 is The Lion.

#4 is has a Chaos Marine backpack, so I'd be very surprised if it's not something Emperor's Children related. I'd guess Lucius, but the shape on the backpack doesn't look like vials, and I'm not seeing enough tubing about the place. We'll find out shortly, I guess.

Very keen.

Huh, exactly what I thought about Ghaz.

In any case, I know it'll never happen, but I really hope one day they'll go back and do a resculpt of Our Lord Angron. The sculpting on the latter Primarchs really is fantastic, and it really shows with Angron. I'd also love to see a helmet option for him, even though I'm not sure he's ever been described as wearing one. While they're at it, the World Eater models could also use some resculpts, too.

I kind of hope we'll see more reveals than just these four today.
I get that next week will be more reveals, but I can understand the disappointment of today.

Still, that Primarch model is amazing. Someone on the FW team really, really loves the DA and it shows. May have to get him when the time comes. I wish more Primarchs had head options. I bet the Lion comes with an alternate head, which probably wouldn't look half as good.
Hopefully Fabius has a couple of assistants, so we'll probably seem more in a few hours.
The Lumineth guy looks like he's made of rocks, so he may be the mountain elves' *big* model.

I must fellate the person who sculpted the Lion. He's up there with Horus as a contender for best Primarch model.

Shame he's not on a duel base with Kurze, but as it stands, thats a lovely pile of dead Night Lords.
Love the helmet, hope he has an unhelmeted head too! Be great to a Lion Sword option too.

Not what I said. Nor is it on topic but whatever.

They've hyped his reveal as "the biggest ever!", "Prepare for 2 hours of GW goodness!!!" and "you won't want to miss it" - the images here could be from any other reveal and aren't particularly warranting the level of hype GW are trying/have built around them. A new edition would be worthy of this hype or the return of a Primarch back to 40k. This is all standard stuff now.

On topic and now I've responded to everyone that seems more interested in my opinion than the thread itself - the Lion looks really static to me and I don't think it's a great sculpt at all. He doesn't look like he's in motion, which I assume the model is supposed to convey. Not my cup of tea.

FW Primarchs tend to have notably awful poses. Compare this to the non-static but far more terrible Russ, I think this easily wins, and I generally prefer the static Primarch poses (eg Dorn, Lorgar) to the dynamic Primarchs (eg Vulkan, Fulgrim) with some exceptions.

Oh yeah, I easily prefer this to Russ. And yeah, I think I agree on more static/commanding Primarchs looking better than dynamic ones. I think the only dynamic one I really like is Angron. Perty, Magnus, and Alpharius are a mix between dynamic and commanding, so I quite like them. My highlight Primarchs are Guilliman, Dorn, and Horus - aka, the most "commanding" ones.

JSG wrote:Russ' loping gait is perfect though.
Eh, not a fan myself, the angles and directions all feel off, and only really "work", when paired with Magnus. Russ definitely should be a moving Primarch, but his current sculpt does nothing for me.

The impression given was that the stream would start at 1:45 and the WarCom site would start being updated at 2. It'd have been nicer if they'd been a bit clearer that the first fifteen minutes of stream was just going to be banal waffling.

Hammer and Bolter/Death's Hand - Warhammer Animation (Anime-ish?).
Seems a great way to get new blood into the hobby and is a way to spread the word of 40k. As an existing fan of anime and 40k, I'm not sure this will be a huge thing for me. I'd be very surprised if GW anime lived up to some of the better, or even more mediocre anime coming out of Japan so it's unlikely I get much out of it personally. A great move for the company, however, anything that brings in more fans is a great move.

It's possible that the horseman is the mounted version of Eomer wielding an orcish spear or something. Wasn't there a bit in Return of the Kings where he does that against one of the Mumak?

The Lumineth take their strength from the very land of Hysh, and these aelves follow the aspect of the mountain, from which they inherit part of their might and resilience. That incredible centrepiece model is Avalenor, the Stoneheart King. He is the eldest and the wisest of the mountain spirits that march to war with the aelves. Take a closer look at the model that is redefining what it means to be part of an aelf army.






Part mystical creature, part mountain, and it can go toe-to-toe with a Bloodthirster – what more could you ask for? And, of course, we couldn’t have a Warhammer Preview without some actual war hammers. Elves have been part of Warhammer for ages, but they haven’t ever held hammers – until now!




These are the Alarith Stoneguard, the elite infantry of the Lumineth Realm-lords. They fight like immovable objects, wielding magical hammers that crush enemy skulls with a single blow. We hope that you’re ready to start seeing all of your problems as nails.

That's not necessarily new info. We've known about multiple elemental devotees in the lore they've teased. You can tell based off the symbols the models have what "faction" they're devoted to. Like fantasy Eldar aspects

I wouldn't be expecting anything like that right now. When it comes to presenting reveals like this, though, you're better off spreading the larger reveals fairly evenly throughout the presentation to hold people's interest and let them stand on their own rather than cram it all into the end where people might have stopped watching.

His armour and sculpting looks great, I just want to modify his pose.

FW Primarchs tend to have notably awful poses. Compare this to the non-static but far more terrible Russ, I think this easily wins, and I generally prefer the static Primarch poses (eg Dorn, Lorgar) to the dynamic Primarchs (eg Vulkan, Fulgrim) with some exceptions.

Also, War of the Spider is after Engine War, not the last book, like some rumors had suggested.

Well sisters have canoness with options.

And I might have to get two eomers. One with spear, one with sword.

Also, War of the Spider is after Engine War, not the last book, like some rumors had suggested.


Guess that confirms also book 9 is last. Unlikely they would do 2 books of 2 factions each. With 8 factions it was realms of possibility of 3+3+2. Now it's 4+4 for sure.

Doubt SoB get their own focus in PA, despite the FB comment. Same with Harlies to be honest.

Necrons and Deathwatch perhaps get the new edition release box (if there's a new edition of course)? I think there was a rumour of that not long ago.

That's not necessarily new info. We've known about multiple elemental devotees in the lore they've teased. You can tell based off the symbols the models have what "faction" they're devoted to. Like fantasy Eldar aspects

Yes, but what those 'aspects' are? I think they said it quickly, but I kinda missed it... Were they just the four classic Greek elements?

They probably need to spread it out a little. To be fair to GW, many of us are going stir crazy with the social distancing. If we don't have the slower reveals then we won't have anything to look forward to I guess?

I think Bile looks great, including his face when from other angles, he looks like a really horrible B******, villains don't need to look pretty, but his face has huge character. I'm a little disappointed the face seems to have been removed from his flesh coat, that was always one of the really creepy things about the old model.

In terms of releases, seems extremely low key at the moment, they'll surely come back around and show more 40k releases? However, there is another reveal next weekend.

I wonder if they have moved some of the reveals around due to not being able to sell and supply at the moment, in an attempt to keep the community engaged so they will buy again when they can actually manufacture and sell again (I'm aware this may be more of a UK specific issue, rather than a global issue).

If Sisters of Silence and the Assassinorum get new rules, Harlequins /have/ to get new rules. It'd be insane otherwise. There was a rumor about Harlequins not getting a new PA, but I'm pretty sure that rumor also said DW would not be getting a PA, so that would leave Necrons fighting themselves, which would be a bit silly. I'm not super sure that the SoB will get rules, but I'd be vicariously upset if the SoB didn't.

I kind of get it, the issue is they're showing some stuff that's pretty well previewed already (Bile) and the rest are dribs and drabs of a reveal. After getting edition reveals, full factions reveals, game changing stuff like mortarion etc. Showing 1-2 units from the same army over 4-5 reveals seems a bit... small in scope.

The problem with the Fabius Bile reveal, as a reveal that is, is that we knew it was coming, as they were not subtle at all about it, and we basically had a full pic of the model this week as well so..... So in terms of that being the only 40k 'reveal' it is super disappointing.

Dunno. To me, there's a sameness to their reveals. You can pretty easily predict what Games Workshop are going to release before they do it, and a lot of their newer releases almost merge together in my mind when I try to recall them. Same goes for their specialist games.

You misunderstand me, I'm saying that if this "biggest ever reveal!" Was the first time we'd seen the lumineth range and it was the whole range, that feels substantive. Doing a unit or two every "biggest ever reveal" until you see the whole army makes it feel spread really thin.

The same is true because of the number of partial bile spoilers, the fact all of the other dark Angel's stuff for horus heresy are known etc. We're getting bits of a faction/army which feels less of a reveal.

If every reveal is a big reveal then no reveal is really all that big.

Would you prefer if they didn't do reveals as often so that they could reveal more stuff at once?

Also, whilst I personally really don't care about the Primarchs, many people seem to consider them a big deal.

Also, War of the Spider is after Engine War, not the last book, like some rumors had suggested.


Sisters may not get anything since they just got their codex. I can definitely see deathwatch necrons and harlequins in one book though

Yeah. GW has habit of flat out lying on. They say "sisters will get PA release still" and it obviously means "no they won't".

Definitely feels like the previews are getting spread far too thin. We only recently had similar complaints about Psychic Awakening for the same reason. I actually think it's the sameness of their release strategy that's causing this though. Psychic Awakening in particular has been very formulaic and overall disappointing.

That was a poor preview in terms of content if I'm honest, some of them last year revealed way more, however, I assume a lot has been kept back, and there will be some major reveals next week.

I assume that is when the primaris bike and speeder will show up, I'll be amazed if it doesn't.

They might also have cut some of the things they were going to preview. Coronavirus has definitely slowed their release schedule and I wouldn't be surprised if it has pushed back some releases several months, they might not be interested in previewing them at this point in time given the circumstances.

For HH? It's less a reveal and more ticking through a list... Really slowly. They've been dong it for years, and there's only so many. How can there still be more to do?



As for the actual reveals... Some of the cultists are nice, but flame effects can be really hit or miss. The boss model (or whichever has the sword of flame) really doesn't work for me.

The elf release just reminds me of how many opportunities they have passed up to do a plastic Minotaur character, Doombull or otherwise.

I think this seems smaller just by the nature of the format.

Normal Adepticon would have attendee's snapping photos of mini's in glass display cases at different angles and such, giving us a bit more "content".

Scions of the Flame made me happy. All of the Warcry stuff has been awesome, imo.

Love the Bile sculpt.

The Aelf stuff is pretty unexpected, mainly the big guys, but Aelves with hammers! The worlds gone mad! I would like some alternate color choices at this point, or to see alternate builds of the kits that we saw, if there are any.

Primarch is cool if a bit static, but I love the defiant Night Lord about to go out like a gangster.

LotR stuff always intrigues me, but I haven't bought anything related to that game since the very first boxed set. Not enough time for another game.

I still think Fabius' head is awful but otherwise it's a really nice model. Unfortunately, it's also of no interest to me as I don't play Chaos.

As for those AoS Minotaur things... what. Just... what.

Why are they minotaurs, shouldn't they be Beastmen units? Why are they part-mountain? Why are they using hammers of all things?

Indeed, why are elves using preposterously-large hammers? Thunder Hammers are iffy enough and those are being wielded by men in power armour. These are elves.

Sorry, I know that this will seem like nitpicking to some but for me this beaks my immersion entirely as there is simply no way they'd be able to wield those things.

Also, those helmets look bloody stupid.

It's actually a shame because with more sensible weapons and helmets, they'd actually be really nice models.

Fabius looks... okay. I'm not a fan of the James Woods head but it's not horrible. At least he's not leaping off a rock/ruin I suppose.

I quite like the top half of the Mountain Minotaur but they completely lose me as soon the lanky legs/arms come into focus. It's bad female Draenei art from WoW all over again Also Elf Hammerers? Really? Can't help but feel like someone made a joke about 'WARHAMMER Elves' that got taken too far.

Scions were... eh. I'm mostly indifferent. Not like War Cry's going to be around for more than another year anyway.

Éomer's pretty good even if he doesn't resemble Karl Urban much. More LotR releases are never a bad thing.

Lion looks great as a model, though there's something about his pose that throws me off a bit.

As a 40k fan, this week's reveals have been very disappointing. A single model resculpt doesn't feel like a particularly big release, and Games Workshop's addiction with focusing on releasing special characters is wearing my patience.

Also, if you do want to explain it, I'd be especially interested in the precise method by which those regular-sized elves ignore the laws of physics.

Physics, in AoS, you are joking right?

The 'minotaurs' aren't. They're constructs created by the Lumineth to house the spirits of the mountains in Hysh. The 'masks' allow for the spirits to take possession of the constructs.

There's a creature that dwells on the mountains that has the horns that the constructs and Aelves both wear, and said creature is effectively immortal unless its horns are removed. The Lumineth use the horns as part of the constructs to allow for the construct to be imbued with life, and the Aelves wear them to effectively imbue themselves with part of the mountain's power.


The more we hear about the Lumineth, the more I'm reminded of Jim Butcher's "Codex of Alera" series.
