There are some other pictures, but we've all seen them before.
Also, some minor rules, mostly what we know.
Interesting things to note:
* Joan of Arc alternate pose (same fundamental sculpt) will be the preorder bonus for Angel's book.
* Template weapons ignore partial cover.
* If you're affected by a template weapon, you get an aRO to dodge (at -3) even if you have no LOs to the source. This includes both grenades around the corner and Guided missiles.

The Mag Guard production is an experiment in production for CB, and it will be in production on the side outside of normal schedule. "It will be done when it will be done."
Profile will have a 360 visor.
Assuming that means the new Maghariba is going to be huge. IIRC, they said the same thing about testing production when they did the Caskuda. I was guessing Gecko sized from the new concept art. Guess I was way off.
That begs the question though - what silhouette will the current Maghariba have? It's a completely different shape to everything else already.

That is great news! I was hoping it would live up to the bulk the concept art hinted at. I just hope that it isn't too pricey.

I like to imagine that while BoW is in the UK, they have their own timezone.
Because they sure as heck don't really have a schedule that works.

Nothing really new to report. Pics of the Umbra Legate model.
Carlos expects to have N3 rules online by 2015 & the wiki + army builder soon thereafter.
The ABH concept sketch is so much better than the final result.
The model really does look like the freak Rob Liefeld Captain America. Shoulders are far too broad, the fanny packs give it a barrel chest & the vest is flat and lifeless.
Watching the video, there doesn't seem to be too much new information that we don't know. It was a lot of preliminary information to set up the week and recaps of what had already been revealed.
I believe the following is new:
Dossier of the Preorder ABH.
The armor is noted as having influence of the Mobile Brigada. The weapon is the new PanO Boarding Shotgun.
Maghariba Guard colored art.
Umbra Legate miniature. He's tall.
* As if there was any doubt, rules have been confirmed that all rules and profiles will be available. Profiles available online January 1st. 3rdEd rules available online later in 2015.
* Army Builder will be updated and have links to the Wiki.

18 euro for shipping? It is more than it was for O:I if i remember correctly.
I just did a mock order and it came up €5 to the U.S., can't figure why yours came up 18 unless it's the Italian postage tax or something.

All the retailers who preorder it will get the figure as well, thewarstore.com and miniaturemarket.com both have them listed.
I was wondering, as it's been a long time since I've ordered anything from England/Europe, the price Coruvs Beli has listed is €59.95(VAT included). Since we are outside the European commonwealth we don't pay VAT, so wouldn't it be cheaper for us to order it. I've got my preorder in at thewarstore.com, but I think either the conversion rate is off.(x-rate.com says $75.95), or they jumped the gun on pricing before all the details were out as they have listed price of $79.49.
Can anyone in the states (maybe someone who's ordered from CB) enlighten me on the VAT issue?

At ~ 0:37 of the video, can someone read the text? I think it says "new destenies". Overall the video appears to be an intro, though I do like quick teases of the new art.
