Last year actually had detatchments and armies of renown, with a couple of cool mini codexes for daemons and DW.

Xeen and Jake are right: most of this is stuff that should either be on Warcom already, or in a White Dwarf. The HH guide seems to be the worst so far(only the loyalists, and a little rushed even for Eavy Metal).

Lathe is, hopefully, not correct in this as well: Xmas day may have a reveal that will piss off every faction but one.(I hope that isn't the case for you guys)

I suspect we will get traitor paint guides on another day.

The stories have been OK? I’ve got very low expectations, so just enjoy what shows up. The detachments were nice last year, but I don’t expect mechanics at this point in the edition.

Yeah, it's pretty lame this year. I mean they had those detachements or a special rumour engine in the past but what we got so far is something they could have (and had) on WarCom every other day of the year. Sure, they don't owe us something, but it's a good opportunity to keep their fans (and customers) excited at the end of the year. But well, if they don't need it...

If they don't have at least 2-3 "Wow" days they are going to catch so much crap for this totally underwhelming Grotmas.

Hypothetically speaking, about the only things that could even make things right at this point would a day or two of "cool, wasn't expecting that" model reveals. Possibly foretelling a new Primarch or something.

I would love to be wrong... and not because I'm good at it.

Maybe, silhouette looked like a stompa. Worst case, a teaser would mention them, but at the end it would show the current one knocked down with Primaris Captain Tycho in front of it(also all Meks, Dreds and Stompas are immediately transferred to Legends status).

Day 4, and so far really really disappointing. I do understand not doing something as awesome as the detachment things last year, it was probably a lot and they have a campaign coming up to dump that stuff in. But come on, they couldn't do a rumor engine type thing like they did for the Eldar/Chaos I think the year before? Some model reveals early to at least trick us into being excited? And someone can correct me, but isn't Grotmas a 40k thing? So far we got 2 sigmar, 1 HH, and one 40k, which was a story about Titus and like someone said above, that is something that they would have just put on WarCom anyway if it was like August with his mini coming out.

I guess this Grotmas is the one we have to spend with Dad after the divorce in his gakky one bedroom apartment listening to him complain about Mom and counting the seconds until it is over. (Sorry if that hits home for anyone, just a joke)
