new announcements stream coming up soon. hoping its more interesting than the last one

Well I think we know what the Legions Imperialis preview is going to be already...

Hopefully we get a wee bit more than just that rather glorious boxed set.

I mean, what else would you expect alongside a full army reveal? Other than an obligatory book?

More Marine tanks, duh.

I want my Superheavies.

This one I'm looking forward to...

Legions, I'm expecting the Mechanicum to be announced this Thursday( that cat is already out of the bag ), so maybe something else for this preview.

40K I think is Thousand Sons. Is that right?

Kill Team will probably a solo-coop product as thats the big new thing for the edition. Personally I'd like to see a new Harlequins team, which introduces the missing Troupe Master model for that range.

Underworlds should be a new season and Stormcasts vs Skaven.

With the nerfing of the Sacrosancts, 4th Edition has so far been a huge turn-off. I doubt there is anything special enough they could reveal to make up for it.

With Blackstone Fortress now seemingly discontinued, the "and more" will probably be a teaser for a new 40K-themed boardgame.

I'm fully expecting LI to be nothing more than the Mechanicum boxed set that we've seen a leak of.

If we get anything else its a book to go with it, but otherwise I'd expect that alone being the focus. We might hear/see that individual boxes are also coming for the models that make up that combined kit.

There's also a tiny chance those titan sets that were hinted and shown off ages ago might make an appearance too

I don't think they'll have much of anything in the hopper to swap in with unless it's just a campaign book for the mechanicum and no minis.

40K I think is Thousand Sons. Is that right?

Nope, we don't have any more 40k this year by GW's own admission which makes this weird, they also told us krieg are next, so if it's that then they're showing us them 3+ months out.

Current rumours are orks vs ratlings & ogryn.

Seems likely.

We know Daves to Darkness are next and they'll maybe get some more conan minis I guess?

With Blackstone Fortress now seemingly discontinued, the "and more" will probably be a teaser for a new 40K-themed boardgame.

That might be a good shout for the 40k slot never mind the and more.

“This year’s Commemorative Miniature is the Chaos Sorcerer Tzarketh, Bane of Law, and we’ll be revealing their glorious model in the coming days. You’ll be able to pre-order this miniature on the 5th of October, while stocks last – don’t delay, pledge your immortal soul to the pantheon today!”

Greaaaat. “While stocks last”

Presumably, Slaves will be a new chaos lord and chariots, as the current ones are pulling double duty.

Some Votann then a robust solo game and some Zoats. Never going to happen but one can dream.

Bah humbug no Heresy, no Munda, no Warcry.

That's definitely a step in the wrong direction.

Consequently I hope the model is a dud. It'll be less stressful if I'm not tempted.

I must say that a Votann would have been a perfect character for Blackstone Fortress. And a Zoat was a thing!

Space Hulk is a big possibility if its a new edition that uses the new models from the 40K range, instead of being unique. If it runs for a year or two, they could introduce Deathwing and Wolfguard terminators through expansions. Maybe Genestealers for Genecults? Not sure if they need it but Grey Knight terminators could also be an expansion...

I'm a little surprised at no HH considering I'd have expected GW to be hot on getting plastic mechanicum out now that they started with it.

Does it really need to be on a preview show if it's getting a reveal every Thursday for the foreseeable?

Oh, HH is a new plastic Titan. It'll be released - wait....there's a knock on the door, I'll be back...

"James Workshop - what a surprise please do come in - wait, what are you doing? No I - I've done nothing wrong! YOU CAN'T!!!!"

PCHEWWWW!!

Thud.

I expect GW are giving a breather on the 28mm stuff - it's diminishing returns to drop everything at once.

They'll let people paint up the new shinies, release named characters / melee sprue / marine tanks, then do another wave of 28mm Solar & Mechanicum later next year. In fact GW might even be using the break to push LI Mechanicum, for anyone who needs more robots in their life or just didn't want to buy in at full size.

That makes sense, supposing we all buy every new release and faction on release.

They used to be at least alright with the commemorative miniatures. releasing them as made to order for 2 weeks. Now it's just whatever stock is there so they'll probably end up being sold out and on Ebay by the end of the day.

Don't know why they wouldn't do them as Made to Order.

The latest SoB was only while supplies last too. She sold out fast but stores apparently had a decent stock so I got her eventually. This model tho? Who knows…

In the past event models were often "whilst supplies last"

I'm guessing GW only has so many "made to order" slots they can go for. At least you know up front, as I recall the last Sister of Battle promotional model, a tie-in for a book, wasn't announced that it would be a one-time thing.

Normally GW makes it clear, but the only warning we got on that one was the notice on the product page on the store.


That said if you're aware its coming up normally GW has more than enough one-time stock for these. The real issue is if you can't budget/afford/be aware of it at the time it goes out and you come across it months/year later and want to get hold of it. Then you can end up either having to buy and paint-strip or hunting ebay and FB trading groups to either pay a LOT or find someone selling it on and get lucky.

Is it just me or doesn't he look like a fallen Stormcast? Very similar armor.

Is there such a thing?

The armour itself could just be stolen, we've got Orruks and Khinerai running around with stolen bits of Stormcast armour on their models.

I think Stormcast can fall. At the very least they are capable of independent actions. About the only thing that really binds them is that if they die they get teleported back unless there's a block or another creature stealing their soul. Though it seems that such things take a lot of power to do so right now.

Haven't we had one already fall back to the services of Nagash (if only in part?).

I suspect a stormcast falling into full Chaos corruption is near impossible. One could fall into dark actions, but I don't think chaos corruption could work through them.

Chaos bros were rocking massive suits of armour long before those Sigmar-come-latelys showed up.

Where does it say he’s a fallen Stormcast? Hes basically just a helmeted version of the sorcerer from Khagras ravagers

 Kid_Kyoto wrote:

Oh, I do hope not - there's nothing so boring as "Am Chaos-corrupted X"

It’s just a breastplate and pauldrons.

It’s lack the sculpted musculature of Stormcast entirely.

Nah, it's clearly a Chaos Warrior.

Ohhh ok. It was just some speculation. No, definitely not a fallem stormcast . Chances are, it’ll be more weedy than a normal warrior of chaos.

I do like this chaos sorcerer, trying to justify what I could use him for.

Wondering if this Warhammer Day is where they preview the Limited Edition Christmas or Boxing Day figure? Are we expecting another Red Gobbo this year or something different?

I imagine the Christmas figure will be later in the year. I'm sure there will be another variation on the Red Gobbo or White Dwarf as a fun Christmas figure.

With this guy, Old World Chaos Warriors did get a new plastic model!

Not long to go now.

I’m hoping we get a little for the three factions in Legions Imperialis, even if it’s just “here’s your next book, Mech get most, you two get a box or two each”.

If we are lucky, a set of new weapon sprues for the warlord, reaver, and/or warbringer in plastic since everyone can take allied titans.

That could be cool. I didn’t mind the resin weapon expansions, but plastic remains King of Materials.

While there's allegedly no more 40k coming this year, everyone agreed that that's odd. I for one won't be shocked if they announce a surprise Thousand Sons release. It just fits

I'm expecting a delay in 40k so they can do a big Chaos realignment with Emperors Children and splitting into God specific books and unaligned like how sigmar is

Looking forward to whatever is revealed.

Pic shows Slaanesh, but no Tzeentch...



... Meh, 40k will be just Deathguard or Thousand Suns with a new Codex and miniature... calling it

Tzeentch is covered up by the logo.

But... its like that now. CSM recently had their book with the god specific units out and loads of funny unaligned "lost and damned" units for flavour. Just that EC have a pdf fto make thier list instead of a full codex..

They mean with god specific daemons going into the god specific books.

I can well see 40K following AoS and doing that; once Emperors Children are out I could see the next edition do away with the combined demon codex entirely and just having 4 god specific ones.

Honestly whilst its a shame to lose fully combined demon armies in AoS, you can ally but there are restrictions now that fit the lore; its actually been a great thing.

It creates so many slots for new models with god specific styles. Indeed one big hope I have is that we'll see new demon creatures appear over time as a result.

It's already allowed the mortal follower side to flourish into a whole variety of new models and options.

So while I dont expect a big EC reveal I could see this being similar to the initial sisters thing where they show a single model (if I was to guess it would be the classic crop top ec art inspired as he was in the lucius animaiton) and start a ec day each month to show new design process

Not expecting too much- wildcard thought maybe a new 40k Quest game as Blackstone is gone, might explain the 40k gap in the schedule running up to Christmas... just a thought, probably not.
More likely a narrative book and maybe a look at the Krieg.
Hoping to see Ratlings for KT,coud be fun models..

It’s a bloody good thought though. But, and whilst not definitive, no matching ident on the “what to expect” graphic thing,

Preview pic:

Rat and Stormcast have to be the underworlds starter and looks like a new chaos lord as expected

That blue silhouette on the right has a very stikkbomb-shaped bit sticking out of it…

Looks more like a sniper with a big ass flash hider.

Guess I’m getting that Underworlds set. The Skaven are flipping amazing.

Anyone have a link? Nothing is showing on the WarCom page

Really weird how no links have been posted on the main site or even a reminder that the preview is happening today.

That olive-green thing on the left looks like it might be one of the old Epic knights reimagined, i.e. something in the vein of the o.g. Crusader/Castellan



Might also be a variant of one of the Necromunda bots though, the place has been lousy with them lately.

The new models are great, but I think the cards look much worse with model photos than art. It’s a minor point all told but rubbed me the wrong way how they presented that as a positive, I think characterful art being replaced with glossy photos that are all over the place anyway is a bad thing.

Thanks Dryaktylus, very odd they haven't made a fuss on WarCom or the socials.

Spearhead looks like a potential painting project to me. Some gorgeous models.

Are we seriously having a time waste for a model already on order?

Decent generic miniature, but I don't think they could have chosen a funnier time to try to make a big deal about it

So the new Warhammer Community site is broken, I'm gathering. None of the links they've posted for the Warhammer Day Preview work at all and there's nothing else up there about it.

Hm, so it's just a pity hero for the Slaves then.

At least there are no shiny reveals to distract you from trying to figure out the adenoid-y mubling of the host (what specifically they're host to is up to debate, but it obviously affects either their lung volume or vocal chords...)

It wasn’t long ago that the Darkoath expansion happened and StD is already a big faction, I wasn’t really expecting a lot for them. I prefer the general release sorcerer to the Warhammer day one too.

That would’ve been nice, actually. I didn’t even consider resculpts.

Did they just mispronounce the "Hypercrypt Legion" as "Hypocrit Legion"? That one's taken already...

So far, Edward-ward Scissorrats is my favourite, but the whole Skaven team looks pretty nice.

The Ironjawz box is pretty tempting. I really liked that last wave for them and it’s basically all in there.

I hope they're building up to one hell of a 40k reveal, otherwise this "Warhammer Day" will be a colossal dud.

Just watching, but chaos models so far are half of Warhammer Underworlds and Mechanicum. Anything else?

Interesting to see Dark Mechanicum stuff in LI. I hope we see them scaled up to HH too.

Yeah those Dark Mech walkers better get 28mm models…

I can’t be sure, but the photoshopped pics of the Stalker may very well be in 28mm scale.

Gonna end up with a cabinet of painted limited edition models at this rate.

Kanluwen (or whoever it was that insisted that was a mine instead of a pie) in shambles

More Ratlings?

Monsieur, you are really spoiling us!

Orks look sweet too.

Oh hell yes! Tankbustas vs Ratlings!

Call Gurney Halleck, I've found his pug

Dark Mechanicum actually separate from the Mechanicum minis for LI? Wow, that was unexpected

Tankbustas are fab.

Basic Boyz not overly ornamented, but still some nice melee guys.

Well I think they said the contents of the battle group was usual by both?

Can't say i care for the ork helmet

I like the sound of there being a new diorama miniature involving ratlings.

A shame the new Warhammer Community site doesn't work, so i can't actually see it. .

Don't forget the sandbag instead of a Turkey!.

At least Ratlings are represented. Tankbustas seem out of place in KT, though.

Great Ork models.

Easily the best Ratlings they’ve ever done.

Not that they’ve done all that many Ratlings.

These Ratlings are an absolute hit. Just amazing job on these models.

And a wee sting right at the end, Emperors Children coming in 2025.

So presumably, also Fulgrim.

I thought it was an animation instead of a game? But dynasty warriors 40k maybe?

Not quite as exciting as when they dropped Fulgrim Transfigured at the end of a stream without warning, but at least we've got the first inkling of a confirmation now

Dynasty Warriors is Tecmo Koei, this is Bamco.

At this point it's anyone's guess....

Unless it's 3D japanese animation for Warhammer+.....

The teaser is for an animated short on Warhammer+, that much I gathered, but it might be a tie-in to a larger game release?

So literally "blink and you'll miss it"?

Thanks for the confimration though!

I’m very excited to see the Emperor’s Children. The stuff they did for AoS was superb, and more than just Knokkaz.

Dark Mechanicum coming to LI, followed by 28mm HH later no doubt. Shows the plastic Mechanicum releases have been going down better than expected. Really happy to see HH getting another faction!

As for the Brutal & Kunnin KT24 box, that terrain is a must-have and indicates all the terrain in this season might be compatible with eatch other.. This is going to get expensive. I just wish they'd also sell the terrain separately, I dont really want any more teams (got 10+ teams already thank you very much!) but I do want all of that terrain for 30K/40K/KT2* games.

Happy to see eclectic teams in the box, but like I said, I dont need any more teams.. Tankbustas kit has mucho conversion fodder potential though

Watched that "vignette" just now. With Bandai/Namco money behind it, felt like a prolonged cutscene from some upcoming Deathwatch vs Necrons action BolterPron game. Might indicate more licenced stuff coming later on..

 tauist wrote:

It doesn't, though. The plastic mechanicum only released a few months ago. It takes 2-3 years for miniatures to go from design to release, so it has no relevance to how well those kits are or aren't selling.

GW had no more money for their servers after they redid the website. Ten people visit the new website and it crashes, but afterwards they can market it as “so many people were excited about us that the glorious nee site crashed. Seems like we need another price hike!”

Kill team ratlings are all above board (rather than being deserters and thieves), so presumably they are sticking to Guard uniform regulations and still shave.

The sisters, crons and tau batleforces are distinctly... slimline on points and content. I'm assuming they'll be a similar price point and % saving? It just seems bizarre to me that the big expensive Christmas box with a huge saving still doesn't clear 700 points

No one posted pictures of all the articles for those of us that can't access the WarCom site like me?

My thoughts on what was shown (from what I remember, would check the site, but well...):
- Warhammer Underworlds: nice to finally see some update on this game, and the new Warbands are great looking (especially the Skavens), but very disappointed this is a full reboot. Not much of a fan of model art for cards, either.
- WH Day model: nice model, but already shown in great detail
- New S2D Wizard, Spearhead & Battletome: nice to see some new content for AoS.
- Battleforces: probably some nice deals in those, and I like that they are trying to align them to specific formations thematically, but none of this is new and deserves a reveal slot in the WH Day preview
- LI: I suspect the Mechanicum being spoiled early cut a bit of the wind from their sails, and that they had intended to have a big reveal here. Dark Mechanicum specific kits look awesome, though.
- KT: really strong showing here, both Orks and Ratlings look great. A lot of tank-busting stuff for a game without tanks, though.
- Christmas Ratlings: awesome model
- LarpHammer : I'm not really into this stuff, but it's probably great for people who are, so I won't complain
- DeathWatch Animation teaser: nice to get free WHTV content, more bolter porn, but well animated at least

As far as I can tell, the site crashed before the articles were made available.

I'm a little disappointed with the CoS battleforce because it has two units that are already in the spearhead box. I suppose some may like the extra knights and cannon, but it seems like better value to not duplicate their contents.

I really like most of the 40k battleforces. To the extent that I probably cannot justify spending the amount I would on them at once.

Underworlds seems a lot uglier in terms of it's card style, and I think losing the dual boards is a huge shame. I don't hate some of the more accessible nature though. I want a lot more information on what is being done to make old teams playable.

Wonder if we'll be lucky enough to see EC at the next preview stream in late November, or if we'll have to wait until they start chugging through the already announced IG/Eldar/Knight reveals. Fingers crossed...

At least the end is finally in sight now. Can't wait

Maybe they’ll string it out like Worlds Eaters and show sketches and WIPs

For some reason, it looks like the Aquila on the rifle on the Ratling Diorama miniature has absolutely no detail and is entirely flat?

Edit: Same with all the ones in the squad, actually. No detail at all. It seems that's how the blackstone fortress miniature's are too so i suppose it's intentional? Still seems a bit odd though

Having their community site crash on the day of a big bunch of reveals is kind of a bad look for GW. Granted it's (probably) not intentional, but somebody in their IT department might be looking for a job after this. Especially since it's been down all day.

Given that the human component of the Cities only has a handful of units that aren't re-purposed WHFB kits, I'm not sure there's much they can do about it.

It's not been "down all day", it was up all day in the UK and went down after the stream ended from what I can tell. The community site obviously isn't considered a tier 1 solution or it'd be back up by now. As it stands the logical conclusion is nobody is looking at it til tomorrow or monday. GW don't host their own web servers. Nobody's getting fired.

In the RoW it’s been down all day - might be bed time in the UK so it’s not an issue there, but it very much is in other time zones. GW is an international company after all.

I agree, it is a poor look.

For me the Warhammer Community site, news site, went down before the reveal that's why I couldn't see anything. Shame. The 500 internal server error on a black screen was frustrating. Lucky some kind hearted people here on Dakka gave the twitch location and screen shots of minis.

Btw there's some really cool figures coming, looking forward to their release.

Btw that 500 internal server error is still showing right now, by my count that's 12 hours plus counting.

Also btw has anyone been able to order that exclusive chaos sorcerer yet?

He's conspicuously absent from the Australia and New Zealand webstores, available everywhere else. Didn't see any mention of it being delayed in Oceania, but obviously there's no way to check WarCom right now to see if that was the case.

Our allocated limited stock will show up eventually without warning, I suppose. Hopefully I notice before it's too late.

EDIT: WarCom is back up, and the pre-order article does confirm the (fairly obvious) delay in Oceania

Thank you for this! Thought I was going crazy or blind or something

Pics for the pic gods.

Love the Ratlings.

Love the Dark Mechanicum.

Good reveals.

Thanks Kid K!

- KT: really strong showing here, both Orks and Ratlings look great. A lot of tank-busting stuff for a game without tanks, though.

Given that the them of the current 'season' is a massive super-weapon, 'avin' some ladz wot can blow it up reel gud mite be an idea?

Kill team has won the previews for 2 releases going.

Did anyone manage to order or get their hands on the Warhammer Day Chaos Sorcerer? I don't think it was actually available in Australia.

The model's release is delayed in Australia and New Zealand. There was a footnote in the Warhammer Community article on new release that weekend (see link below).
