Kinda thought they'd start off a little stronger than this, but we know there are more reveals to come. Just a weird order to present the stuff.

Start from small toward big news. That's pretty normal. Were there for example 9th ed announcement you can bet it would be last.

i prefer the metal Eomer as it looks more like the actor imho

If they show the strongest stuff first people will just tune out after

...I like the logic that makes a new Eomer more important that anything involving Elves

Chat moved so fast it made my eyes go funny!

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.

I think I will get some of those hammerelves and make them the most hammer-y Ordo Malleus retinue ever. Might evrn have some bits left for some Minotaurs Marines.

Viewer count has breached 40k, which seems appropriate.

For those unsure or unliking of the Battle Cattle?

Ahahaha.

Don’t have a cow, man.

Thank you, thank you, I’m here all week. Try the fish!

NM i think I figured it out. Thanks though

Supposedly it was sculpted over picture of Karl's face(or so I was told when I said same thing). Maybe paintjob?

Cowhat Selftenderizers are amongst the daftest units in AoS, congrats.

For anyone wondering how to kill the chat, above the chat it says "Stream Chat". To the left of that is an arrow icon that looks like |->.

Click that.

Even then it works. Not that big animation(?) things, their 2nd main game news, specialist games. Guess next 40k?

Battlecow looks FREAKING AWESOME!

Fabius looks loads better as a complete model.

Fabius Bile time

They're back with 40K it looks like.

Really like the animation before the Fabius reveal!

Huh. I'm not as big a fan of the Lion as I thought I might be. Feels a little static for my liking (as in, he's clearly in motion, but I don't feel the sense of movement).

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.

Russ' loping gait is perfect though.

Yeah especially with the axe swinging around its very in-characters

Fabio...for 40K.

Good for Chaos Marine players.

Must admit, I'm getting pretty annoyed at the chat for their impatience and gakking over LOTR.

You were expecting anymore than HERESY BLAM regurgitated meme spam and hyperactive (man)children from a live Warhammer chat room?

Part of the reason I'm following this thread rather than the Twitch stream. To much faffing and unfunny memes in them.

Quite nice

Anyone know the significance of the shrunken head Bile carries? Is it new or from a story?

Fabulous Bill looks very good. I was worried they'd give him an action pose perched on some Battle Masonry (TM), but they wisely didn't.

Eomer is excellent. Love dual-hero kits, and it's nice they offer head/arm/weapon options, etc. A bit amusing to see that available in LOTR but they can't be bothered to do it for their more successful games.

It's been confirmed on the warhammer community page that it's Custodes, Sisters of Silence, and Assassins vs DG and a new subfaction called Agents of Bile on the ruins of Cadia. I'm interested to see where that leaves the Deathwatch, SoB, Necrons and Harlequins fighting.

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.

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.
