yeah,
I was browsing the GW site. in the what's new today I noticed some items in the left side background sitting on the table.

Anyone care to speculate what they are?
Panic...

They look like black and brown blurs to me. I wouldn't deign to speculate further.

Looks like various WFB Battalion boxes.

Bah, that stuff. I concur with Empchild.

Trophies or terrain, more likely they are statues for a city or something they are building

I agree with Empchild but I lean more toward trophies. They look like they are on a wooden base.

Edit:

I like how they had to cover the couch with a blue blanket....must be trying to keep the gamer funk off it hehe.

yeah,
The picture is pretty bad. I was thinking they might be some kind of new plastic terrain or 3ups of new mighty empire tiles.

Trophies seems like the best guess, makes sense the web team having access to them to hype the award?

Panic...

I would probably lean towards some kind of epic scale tank?

Cheers,

Jack.

There's nothing that large in the Epic Scale outside of Titans(and only the larger ones, at that).

They are the pixies (Squats?) who pack the models at the warehouse. Either that or they are the rumored 40K scale plastic Titan and they are just so far away that they look diminutive.

yeah,
it's cool getting glimpses of their office!

I think the computer screen at the back is a test rig to debug instore promotions/applications. you know to see how the feature will look in store.

Panic.

Those are clearly the new "Turtle Rough Riders" models for IG that are getting released with the new "Battle Missions" codex thats coming out.

My first thought is Destroyers, but they kind of look more like Segways.

The cardboard sign around the computer screen is the way the in-store ordering terminals now look in GW US retail stores. The warning stripe "dressing" was added just a few weeks ago to make them stand out a bit more. There's also a giant cardboard yellow arrow on the wall pointing to the terminal in stores where the set-up allows for it.

Those are trophies of a seated daemon, not sure what contest handed those out again, but GW has those alongside the more iconic Golden Daemon. I believe the seated daemon trophies are handed out at tournaments.

The couch is an Ikea one, with a blue cover.

The items in question almost look to be connected to one and each other.

I'm inclined to go "meh" and ask questions such as

"Are you well?"

"Do you really have that much time on your hands?"

yeah,
I guess I do.
But do you have that much time on your hands you go around finding out about other peoples spare time or lack of?

Panic..

Im guessing they are some sort of space marine statues

Lets say its in my interest to stay current with GW news and rumours.

yeah,

I call BS on this if I place a HTML for everyone to go to the page that will waste even more of GW's bandwidth while their content heavy website loads to everyones PC.
Plus I told everyone where the picture is from.

Jervis! Welcome to dakka man!

Those are the new models for the 8th edition starter box that will include tomb kings vs chaos dwarves. I heard from my brother's girlfriend's sister's cousin-in-law who was in the studio audience for Dancing with the Stars with a blue-shirt that gave her all the details. So yeah, it's pretty much confirmed now.

Awesome news Necros, can't wait for 8th ed now! Woo Hoo!

Cool. I'll find something to be outraged about and start a thread where I can complain about it...

Good idea HBMC.
I'm going to start a different thread complaining about the same thing.

And I'll start a third thread about how awesome this new is.
