On the communitiy blog their is stuff mentioning a Age of Sigmar War scroll builder. What is that about?

Did anybody find out if the 4-model Bloodbowl team boosters for Skaven and Humans are plastic or resin?

Picked up the Skaven one, and it's Resin.

Arms and some legs are separate. Not sure if this means they're semi-modular, but until I've got my own, I'll assume not.

I'm pretty sure that Hamsterface, along with several of the other Star Players in Death Zone Season 2, are new to the game with this edition.

They said the Heads and Shoulder Pads were interchangeable on the Primaris Marines, looks like the Pads are moulded on. Hope it's just the starter set.

Glart Smashrip jr. (alleged) is new this season; Glart himself has been around forever, though he was retired until junior showed up and started using the theoretical family connection to his own advantage.

The miniature displays are nothing short of amazing. I love seeing what they've done with the new sector mechanicus terrain, especially the set-up with the new Death Guard and Primaris Marines on it. That one in particular feels like it might actually be possible to recreate.

Unlike the warlord titan bay...holy gak, I really don't want to know how much it would cost to buy all the GW kits necessary to even begin attempting it. And that's not counting the stuff that I can't even identify, like all the panels making up the walls, which are either custom made or casts based on some ancient GW kit that never saw release.

I love the cover art for the new 40k rulebook and indexes, too. It reminds me a lot of 4th edition, which is when I started playing.

It will be just the starter set.

Looooooool completely forgot these Primaris won't be like a normal sprue. Well, IF for these it is then, I'll just wait for the standard kit to give em BA heads and pads.

Edit: I really should try and get to Warhammer World at some point this year, even just for the displays alone.

OH DAYUM, pics from the index books, wow they are a lot more detailed than I was expecting, page of fluff for each fella. I was really just expecting the stat line and a points cost page like the GH.

Regarding the new Death Guard vs Ultramarine artwork, while browsing a Nurgle dedicated fansite this from the Traitor Legions book was interesting

http://nurgle.stelio.net/thing_Poxwalker_Hive.php

Codex Supplement: Traitor Legions (2016), p117 — Chaos Artefacts of the Death Guard

Poxwalker Hive — xx Points

Daemon insects spill from the tubular, chimney-like structures of the Poxwalker Hive. The incessant droning chatter of these tiny creatures acts as an infection in its own right, and those who willingly listen to it are at grave risk of contracting the poxwalker's curse. Should they succumb, they will devolve into shambling, mutant monstrosities, murmuring and babbling in the same flyblown tongue as the hive itself.

At the start of each of your turns, pick a friendly unit of Chaos Cultists within 7" to infect with the poxwalker virus. For the rest of the game, that unit of Chaos Cultists cannot Run or make shooting attacks, but they gain the Fearless and Feel No Pain special rules. In addition, at the start of each of your following turns, return D3 slain models to every friendly unit of infected Chaos Cultists that are within 7" of the bearer. Any models returned in this manner that cannot be placed within unit coherency are lost.

Could the things in the bottom left corner of the artwork be those who grew into 'mutant monstrosities'?

Were Poxwalker/Poxwalker Hives mentioned in earlier publications?

So these indexes may as well be mini-codex collection. Damn. I hope they once and for all confirm there are equivalent of chapter tactics when building lists. It's heavily implied, but a vidual confirmaiton would be great. Also someone on the dark city allegedly read xenos index 1. Wyches have poison weapons now and a bunch of other DE stuff. The rules leaks will flood the internet soon.

Are there any seminars for AoS?
Or no news for it? : /

Aside from the RPG's and the Kharadrons I think not. Mind you. AoSRPG is big news already.

The WarCom liveblog is currently posting WD photos

I was very disappointed not to see any of the (rumoured) forthcoming shadow aelves for AoS. Or the Nurgle BB team. Didn't seem to be a huge amount of forthcoming stuff shown at all, really - not as much as I had hoped to see.

From Charlo on B&C

Love that Redemptor!!!

GW seriously needs a guy whose sole job is going around the sculptors' offices saying "That's nice, but please stop putting more guns on it right now" for every WIP he sees

It doesn't have any more guns than a Deredeo or a Leviathan.

What's that got?

Super Assault Cannon of some sort
2 twin Assault Bolters (probably - same thing the Inceptors have)
Missile Pod on top.
Twin Flamers on the Fist?

Yes, its against logic to put more guns than arms on a relentles antropomorfic walking gun platform.
The smokelauncher better still override every single shooting weapon.

Whats next, a squad of terminators where every guy can carry a heavy weapon and/or cyclone rockets?

Anyway, the first pics of the new dread made me think he was doing the "haters gonna hate" walk. I like it!

Don't play 30k. At least not against Iron Warriors.

Looks more like:
Punisher cannon (see IG tank of the same name)
Twin storm bolters
Fancy smoke launcher/maybe frag grenade launcher
Definitely at least one flamer, probably Heavy, but don't see a second?

Punisher Cannon makes sense.
Look a bit too big to be storm bolters - but look about right scale as Primaris stuff.
Nope, that's a missile pod. They like 'standard' equipment so I would assume they're use the three tube style smoke launcher still.
Might be one flamer, thought I saw a second but that might be a random finger from that angle.

Thanks for the Dreadnought picture. Horrid design, doesn't hold a candle to the classic one.

Looks like a Punisher cannon alright. Makes you wonder if it is, or if it's the +1 version you expect Marines to get (like shotguns).

I don't think the bolters are storm bolters. Classically, they only have on round thingy above (or next to if rotated) the barrel. I'd expect a Primaris bolter version for sure.

The grenade launcher doesn't look like it's supposed to be a smoke launcher. That's a lot of cartridges all pointing the same way for a one use item meant to smoke up a wider area.

The redemptor from that angle looks like a neat crossover licensing agreement with Hasbro to make a 40k Mr. Potato Head.

I was hoping for something more like the Contemptor but I guess the Redemptor will grow on me. For now I cant help seeing a box dread with a beer belly, or a mecha Proboscis monkey head on legs

The new tank looks interesting with LR and Rhino/Pred elements to it.

Loving the Minotaur. Might have to get one for my Beastmen army...

Glart is an old, old character first appearing in WD 86 (not 100% sure the image below is the first appearance, but its certainly an early one, the art matches the new mini pretty well too)

These are starter box snapfits. When the multipart sets come out then they can be changed. Its always like this in starter boxes
