Isn't there another preview on New Years Day?

I haven’t heard of one, though I’m sure they will do something as they usually have reveals at the “New Years Open” or whatever it is called at Warhammer World the weekend after New Years. Since that is obviously not happening I imagine we will see something on the 2nd. Hopefully something from those advent rumors, but who knows.

Well HALO didn't invent the twin-bladed katar and a daedric dagger doesn't look like that, so no.

Playful sarcasm, I figured that was evident.

To soon. GW made a preveiw and the good people of dakka didnt get their wishlists confirmed, so better tone down the jokes in these troubbled times.

No

yes there is:
"On New Year’s Day, we’ll also have a sneaky peek at some of the incredible new models that are coming out in 2021."

I'm really hoping we hear about the Kill Team Pariah Nexus tomorrow. My expectation is that it will be something similar to catacombs, with updated rules for 9th edition, and include a Flayer Kill team and Assault Intercessors, along with some more doors (blech).

But Kill Team is my favorite version of 40k lately, so I'll still get it. And hopefully we'll be gaming in store again by then.

I would also love to see something for Kill Team. The game desperately needs some support. I hope the update rules switch to 9th and clean up the damage phase. Even if they went with something like Mordheim had or the new Necromunda rules for wounding it would be way less cumbersome. As the game stands I'm not a huge fan because you end up with games that take forever because it takes forever to kill a model in cover, but the concept of the game is fantastic and it is the skirmish game I would most like to play.

Today’s the day!

Well they did say we will hear more on Kill Team in 2021..

I’d like it to be more than Christmas Day.

Info on Necromunda, Kill Team, new WHQuest, new faction for a main game etc.
And by info, I mean show me some models!

Offshoot crazy ideas would be Mordheim or another old game back (but I don’t think, even if they are redoing one, that we will see anything like that. Particularly so soon after talking about Old World further info. If they are just always talking about games far off and in planning stages, it’d seem a bit fob off ish).
Same I don’t think we will get more Old World info, we just had some so probably too soon for more - though I’d welcome it.

These two from the Advent rumours are AoS Slaanesh's palanquin

I wonder if they will dip into any of the other deadly sins for characters.

Model is neat, but has some poor execution in areas. The Gluton himself is probably the worst model on the chariot. The strange tentacles don't look animated at all, and seem like afterthoughts. It's almost as if they planed on having slaves fanning him, or cleaning his mouth, holding wine goblets etc. but ran out of space so went with tacked on squid limbs instead. Same with his head, it looks like it was tampered with by comitee or something.

"He looks lovely, but he really ought to have a long gross tongue and horns, go ahead and make those happen."

That kind of feels like it happened because he looks like he was originally just a creepy AF fat man chilling out with a real sinister grin. Kind of too bad he needed all sorts of cliche features tacked on. You can tell because that tongue looks like it's super imposed over an image. It doesn't fit his mouth, face or teeth.

I really like all the entourage though, and the model itself is cool. It reminds me a lot of the coin master guy from the old Dogs of War army and the old Ogre kingdom model of the glutton king guy mashed up together unless my memory is jumbling things up.
