Personal favorite artpiece:

Looking forward to this as its the first proper big new preview that we are getting this year. We've not really got much idea what we'll see though I'd wager we might see an expansion of those new hinted units in that montage for 40K that was shown a week or two back. WE might get some dates on upcoming stuff for Marines and Necrons, but I'd wager there isn't much more to be shown there (there's at least one more necron option which might be a construction variation on the new tri-legged destroyers) and GW doesn't need to push that angle until October when they are releasing the new books.

I'd wager this Preview might have some additional Luminoth/Giants info and perhaps even a hint at what is coming after for them. At and AN are also both ripe for some new hints and releases and I'd love to see more Xenos in the latter and perhaps some chaos or xenos in the former.

'Shadow' could refer to the Realm of Ulgu in Age of Sigmar. Maybe we'll finally get a hint as to what Malerion has been up to.

40k fans should keep their expectations down

While there is some Warhammer 40,000 in there, this is a chance to see the upcoming awesomeness for many of our other Warhammer settings.

Realms is generally a term applied to AOS more than 40k - this feels more like a preview for the games from that side of the fence.

I hope they put an article out this week covering which games will have reveals, if only to set expectations appropriately.

Would it have killed them to have put that in the WHC article, rather than just the video?

*old man grumble*

To be fair we know what 40K is getting mostly up to October - Marines and Necrons. GW likely doesn't have all that much else to talk about until those two big releases are out of the door.

I reckon it’s the DoK Warcry warband that we’ve seen some but not all of.

Looks like the pace is picking back up

That's part of a whole new range of stuff from what they hinted at...I'm thinking that "Broken Realms" might be the reference to that. There's quite a few rumor engines that match up Realm-specific stuff.

Also Dysartes, I've got your back. It's in the OP now.

It could be, but if the Khainite Shadowstalkers is all that it is it will be a major letdown.

I don’t see there being a new army reveal, especially one that major (I.e. whole new range), when there’s still 1 and a half factions yet to be released for AoS, and I dunno how likely it is for more aelves to come so soon after the Lumineth. I’d love to be wrong but I’m not getting my hopes up for it.

I didn't say anything about a full reveal, just a 'hint' (i.e., a thirty second teaser trailer).

Just wanna throw this out there, but Lumineth were supposed to be out with their range finished by now. The army pack that came out in June? The points were "up to date" as of April 2020, per the book in there.

Said book also features some Malerion stuff that's kinda important in there.

We’ll see. I don’t see it personally and I’m not getting too excited, but like I said, I don’t mind being wrong on this one.

Nice one, Kan.

So for the 40k side of things, we might see one or two unit previews to come with the SM/Necron books - maybe that mystery Necron model from the preview image - and possibly confirmation of the first 'dex after that pair. If we're lucky, we might get the full reveal on the other previewed characters from the same video clip as the Palantine.

Have we been shown new models for the Giant faction for AoS? If not, I imagine we'll see some of them, and either way, I'd suspect we'll get a better handle on when they're due out.

A new faction or two for WarCry seems reasonable - maybe an official announcement of what the next "season" of Underworlds will be called?

I wouldn't rule out more info/previews for the new edition of Blood Bowl.

We’ve seen the new Giants, yeah. Seems to be just the one kit for them (their points were in GHB, and it was just the three variants in that kit and the current Gargant model).

We've seen the new giant model kit for the giant faction, but thus far only seen one kit. We know its a smaller than normal army (each of the new giants is something like 500 points or there abouts) so I think its more that we are still waiting for that army to come out rather than expecting to see more for it. It's basically AoS's version of the "Knights" armies.

Uhh... no. We've had several major ones this year. Granted they were cut up a bit and staggered, but the series of previews back in March/April happened.
Also a bunch of minor ones- the indomitus box, the 'beyond the box' preview, etc

When 'Revenge of the Preview' is being used as a tagline, they're obviously not short in supply.

---

Did you think that we’d already previewed everything?

Very odd rhetorical, since beyond just general new releases happening, we've got fuzzy pics of several things, and rumour engine pics of a bunch more.

Voss but most of those previews we had a rough idea what was coming. This one we really don't have any clue what could be around the corner save for the vague references that GW put up for the preview today. Otherwise we don't really have much of a road plan for anything.

Worth mentioning Voss that the previews you're referring to were what would have been for one event(AdeptiCon) back in March.


Personal speculation:
"Shadow" is referring to our new setting for Underworlds and a teaser of Malerion's crew from that.
"Iron" is a Newcromunda reference. Next gang after Eschers was slated to be Orlock, who are the "House of Iron".
"Broken Realms" is WarCry and AoS proper.

This preview coincides with the UK Games Expo Online. At that preview last year we got a Necromunda gang, a Blood Bowl team, a Warcry warband, and a Blackstone Fortress expansion. So something similar is likely.

We still have yet to see the full Shadow Aelf warband. Hoping the 40k reveal isn't anything for the Space Marine/Necron waves coming, but instead shows off another of those new HQ models. Ideally the ork or ad mech one, but Lelith wouldn't be the worst thing

Semi thought on those hq models: what if they are going to use the 5 shown as army box character with a wider release later? Death guard, admech, orks, sisters and dark eldar would make a good mix for this year's holiday megaforces.

The holiday boxes generally don't have new characters though.

The chaos one was actually a little weird for having new stuff at all.

The Vengeance Warband was full of stuff that had already been in the Apocalypse bundle too.

Remember that enough time had passed from that initial Shadowspear drop for them to have Vanguard and Daemonkin Start Collecting sets out alongside the Holiday Bundles.

Could be anything, but would be nice to have something to look forward to for either Kill Team or Adeptus Titanicus.

Kill team 2.0 to bring it more inline with 9th?

To be honest, Kill Team doesn't feel like it needs a new edition whereas 40K was screaming out for one. Saying that, Commanders did upset the balance so that might warrant a revision...

I would say they'll talk about the new season of Blood Bowl, but then the Spike! magazine for snotlings is for pre-order next week - would be bad to talk about it then, even if the leaks did already spoil everything anyway (and no, it's not GW who leaked the whole rulebook).

Anyone have any idea of how far in advance they tease the next season of Underworlds? Wouldnt object to getting a peak at what season 4 holds.
