I'm hopeful we will see a full reveal of all of the new Knight models at Warhammer Fest, would be logical for them to do that as it should be the biggest pending release of the summer?

Full reveal? We already have 360 video of them, what more GW can do?

Well, for one they could show the other Armiger variants. It would go great with how the poster you replied to had commented "a full reveal of all of the new Knight models".

Warhammer Fest is a good bet since they no doubt want to have good reveals for their own show.

I don't think Knights are the biggest deal in summer, though. Supposedly there's going to be a new starter box for Age of Sigmar which will be this year's big summer release, with new Sigmarines and as such a much bigger deal because Marines. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm sure they'll be happy with the money they'll make off of new Knights and with them being the next codex with actual model support, it'd be strange if they didn't take the opportunity to show them off again. But the model reveal already happened and the biggest thing to expect would be the additional, rumored variations.

Third big item might be the first glimpse of Battle Sisters. They said they want to show the design process and it's been a good while since Adepticon. There's no better time than Warhammer Fest to get started with a bang.*

Lastly, who knows if they don't want to show something that's even further in the future, an early glimpse at a fall release like they did with Death Guard last year.


*Emperor willing!

I reckons Orks and Knights are the big reveals.

And House Cawdor I imagine.

True that.

Possibly Adeptus Titanicus and Fires of Cyraxus?

Ha. No chance.

Don't forget that GW are doing another preview at the UK games expo at the beginning of June. They will split their summer release reveals over those two events.

Also possibly doing reveals at the London GT a week after Warhammer Fest.

Probably won't be one big reveal after another, but, they are all decent platforms.

I would hope GW are smart enough to realise that if they give the biggest reveals to non GW events it will devalue their own flagship event.

I should clarify my previous statement, I don't see anything this summer as big as the Knight release in terms of new models for 40k or 30k. If Orks do get a massive splash release with a boxset and a ton of new models I shall be over the moon and glad to be wrong about them. Sisters aren't due to be released next year so (very) early previews don't count.

I imagine they reveal it at the other event and make it available as an early release only available at their own.

Don't want to be a buzzkill but its easy to let the hype train(official or fan) build up your expectations in these situations.

We do have some facts. We know Knights are one of the next two after Deathwatch. So its either late May, or some time in June. That's when all these events are going on. So if they use either event to debut what they've already said is due out, then we will see something for Knights.

We have the other Armiger, the Castellan, and the rumored knight Valiant. Although the Valiant has been rumored in some places as being released as part of the next campaign rather than with the codex.

It's definitely harlequins after deathwatch it's in the whitedwarf out soon. Seen a photo on BOLS. pre order 12th out on he 19th. So knights must be after that.

Be nice if a Forgeworld got in on the act and produced a Sacristan crawler. The magic 8 ball says odds are slim.

Or by the time they finally get around to it.. it'll be aeons down the road. I'll be building my own once I get around to it, along with something resembling a drop keep when the new building kits arrive.

My prediction is you'll be able to buy the Eldar gate thing at Warhammer Fest. That's it. Everyone is disappointed.

Maybe an early preview of the other Knight stuff, coming soon etc.

Yeah. we'll probably get a video briefly showing the new knight range.

... He said Fires of Cyraxus, Reset the clock!

Shirley we'll see Space wolves at warhammer fest. There's got to be a reason that they've held off releasing them. I'm expecting an 8 inch plastic Leman Russ surfing on a pair of thunder wolves.
I'll be buying it on release.

I'd say not before the last week of August... (And by I, I mean rumors from the French warfo).

But surely new Knights and maybe some Orks...

Of course we won’t, and don’t call me Shirley!

Leman Russ is going to come out of the warp as a wulven quadrapeligic but he will be like voltron and attach Fenris wolves to his body as each arm and leg.

He will be glorious and unstoppable.

In all seriousness we will see previews of knights, adeptus titanicus, and maybe gorkamorka or some other unannounced specialist game.

They really need to stop announcing Specialist Games that we won't actually get for 2 years.

So rumors has it there will be 10 Knights in codex plus Named one, and additional terrain dataslate.

So the whole ten looks like:
Errant
Paladin
Galant
Crusader
Warden

Armiger
Helliger
Valiant
Castellan
Preceptor

Named one

Now i wonder if there ever be renegade kits...

I absolutely need to know what the preceptor, valiant and the named one will be. Please give me a generic named Princep HQ so I can make a true household.

So thats:
Errant: thermal cannon, known
Paladin: battle cannon, known
Galant: two close combat weapons, known
Crusader: two cannons, known
Warden: assault cannon, known

Armiger: smaller, thermal spear, known
Helliger: smaller, unknown weapon
Valiant: hinted at spear weapon (original Epic Lancers were spear and battle cannon...)
Castellan: larger, all ranged (original Epic Castellans had Quake cannons)
Preceptor: unknown? (no original Epic version)

Named one: unknown?

thought I'd have to get one more knight. Now it's looking more like 3 or 4. we all need 11 knights, right?
