Seriously, though, the 40k stuff is far more interesting than rehashing the sigmar starter box for shadespire, or a diorama sculpt for LotR.

We saw most of the ork stuff already, even the war boss was more or less known. Shadespire is boring af, and who cares about LoTR?

Where was Fulgrim? Russ or Vulkan?

Who cares about more boring primarchs?

Why is a bigger reveal of the ork stuff bad?

GSC codex?

Coming. By your logic, since we already know its coming, they shouldn't show us anything.

Titanicus Xenos factions?

Way too early. That just released and they're having stock issues with the basic kits. And you're asking for expansion stuff already, when the first wave stuff (warhounds and reavers) isn't even out yet?
Ridiculous.

Eldar Pastic stuff?

Is there anything substantial to this beyond folks' imagination?

Welcome to marketing. The show more as the release dates get closer. Hence showing pictures of the ork game, rather than just a few models.
Yes, this is largely just teasers. It was a seminar at a random games con- I honestly have no idea what you expected, but I'm glad to see more than the same old stuff that I haven't been buying.

New Ork models/game, Sisters news, Slaanesh release and 40k getting a version of one of the most popular GW games ever, heralding the release of new Chaos Marine plastics. Yeah, fething boring...

Well sisters was just renders, and everything you mentioned aside from orks was just an announcement. Nothing shown, thus nothing to get excited for except for what is basically an idea at this time. They talked this up but had little to actually show. The lack of even an artwork of Delaque just sours things even further. They previewed some Cawdor artwork not too long after Van Saar was out, months before the gang even released.

OKAY. THERE IS NO MENTION OF PLASTIC CSM IN THE COMMUNITY ARTICLE. WHERE IS THE SOURCE FOR THIS?

Previous page, guy who was at the seminar.

Lots of people want primarchs my man. Lots, just spend a day on any of GW's social media and 1 out of every 3 comments is either about russ, vulkan or fulgrim.

Eldar Plastics are a dream yes. I never claimed they were a guarantee. Given that GW said this would be a "big" reveal, this is an example of an out of left field "big" reveal. Same thing for the Xenos titanicus issue.

The bigger reveal by the way of the ork stuff isn't bad at all. I expected that, so I can be forgiving with relations to it. But come on. Is Shadespire popular? I've never seen anyone in my local community even mention it, our store doesn't even stock it. If it is selling, good! But, it just didn't mean anything to me.

Respectfully then, no actual evidence. If it was true, it would have been mentioned in the community site. There isn't even any articles about this rumor on any of the click-bait sites.

On Speed Freeks...

I'm just picturing this massive hive city, and up on the wall are some Deathwatch marines and an Inquisitor, looking down at the surface of Vigilus and seeing Orks LARPing Mad Max.

MARINE: "So... they're just driving around in circles really fast."

INQUISITOR: "Yep."

MARINE: "And they're shooting at each other."

INQUISITOR: "Uh-huh."

MARINE: "Should we even-"

INQUISITOR: "No, no. Just... this is fine."

MARINE: "All right, we'll just- HOLY EMPEROR DID YOU JUST SEE THAT?!?! HAHAHA! The grot just- and the engine- WHOA! THIS IS AWESOME!"

INQUISITOR: "Now you understand, Astartes."

Man, if Blackstone is truly a coop game, and not 2-4 players plus "game master" I will be hyped. Even better if it allows for both play styles - playing against the game, or playing against the gm. Most of my favorite board games anymore are more focused on coop and trying to beat the odds with some friends over competing with each other.

I just find it hilarious that it's always Ork, Sisters and Slaanesh getting left in the dust so the one time there's an event and it features ALL THREE you get people going "waahhh, where my Primarchs at?"

Why does this happen every time? Just because people are expecting something specific (with no reason to expect it, most of the time) and then it isn’t shown, doesn’t mean nothing has been shown. There’s a hell of a lot here, especially considering we’ve had quite a few preview events recently. There’s a lot more than I expected. If you aren’t interested in half the games GW make, any preview event is going to have less to offer you.

Likewise. Co-Op is so much more fun. And half the time it's not really a 'GM', it's just a dude pushing bad guy models and rolling their dice following a script.

I mean.. lets be fair. Eldar are not exactly showered with gifts either. I mean good for all three, especially Slaanesh as people were worried about Slaanesh being killed off/reduced.

Some of us expect some level of consistency. Compare the last two events, to the May Warhammer Fest reveals, or to those from LVO/Adepticon.

And, I agree. There are always going to be things that people do and don't care about, for example, I give all of nothing about webcomics. So, why this was something that had to be announced at a preview event, where people were expecting codexes, models, and so on is beyond me.

So, random news I didn't see mentioned here yet.

Vect: Artwork exists, they will likely do him at some point, not any time soon.

I for one an going to be counting my pennies and hoping the releases are spread out enough. I now have not one, but TWO Rogue Trader themed games coming out, Sisters are getting closer, Slaanesh is my favorite Chaos God (here's hoping Emperor's Children follow the daemons down the line), and I've always been somewhat interested in Orks (just not enough to collect a full army of them, though I have a small smattering of units laying around).

Long story short, I am going to have to be very careful with my purchases over the next few months (and hold off for ebay sales for a discount on discounted prices).

I was at the seminar, Pete foley literally said there are new Chaos Marines in the box and that they were his favorite sculpts. Believe what you want. They had 1 hour of QnA at the end and that is where it was mentioned, not during the presentation.

YAS SLAANESH!!

YAS WARBOSS ON A WARTRYKE!

YUS 40K QUEST!


Freaking Turn Signals on a Land Raider is coming back to?!? Now I feel old but I loved that webcomic!

It just seems like something you might want to actually announce. I will hold cautiously optimistic about this, but even if true, they're still gack rules wise, so I dunno.

There was a lot of things mentioned in the QNA not on the community site. A lot of stuff was answered with "That would be a great idea wouldn't it" wink

Show me a beautiful woman, and I'll show you the man who's tired of her.

Show me a thread on Dakka about some pretty significant upcoming releases and I'll show you someone complaining "but why isn't it my thing."

.

From what I was told, no, no artwork shown, but was briefly mentioned. Keeping my fingers crossed here. This is one model that NEEDS to come back to the game.

I am surprised at the attitudes here. Vince from Warhammer weekly is one of the most reputable people in the warhammer community. He is not just some guy. He has done break downs of many of these preview events and he has never said something that did not turn out to be true.
New chaos marines ARE coming. This has been something forum members have been asking for for ages. New Slaanesh demon sculpts and new Khorne demons ARE coming. We can finally put to bed the rediculous rumour that GW would Squat Slaanesh.
Orks are getting what looks like the single biggest release of the year with 4 vehicles already shown and more confirmed.
GW is doing open public playtesting for a new codex.
40k Quest with a whole bunch of unique sculpts is coming.
This is all big news.

At warhammer fest GW showed off the majority of the nighthaunt and Stormcast range. So even though the last of those models only came out a couple of weeks ago, aos players feel like the haven't had any news for ages. This is the danger of showing off stuff too early.
They also had their plans for Rogue Trader spoiled by the early leak. So when they showed it off officially at warhammer fest Europe it did not create much excitement.
Also GW are doing many preview events now. This was the third one in 3 weeks.
GW have the 40k open day and Blood and glory in November. There will be previews at both events. I also think there is one more event in October when they did a preview last year.
We will see more ork and more Shadespire stuff throughout October.

I just find it hilarious that it's always Ork, Sisters and Slaanesh getting left in the dust so the one time there's an event and it features ALL THREE you get people going "waahhh, where my Primarchs at?"

Oh I quite like the Speed Freaks models. But they are not big news. They were big news a couple weeks ago when they were revealed. The Sisters heads are more 3d previews ho hum. If plastic Sisters were releasing and they had photos of models, that would be big news. 3d previews, not so much. Slaanesh demons are not even either of the above, just some words, these are coming, eventually. Its not the factions that are the issue, its the lack of any actual news. Drop some pictures of Sisters models, and Slaaneshi demons, and all of a sudden its big news.

The CSM and Ratlings Vince mentioned on the Warhammer Weekly stream have me excited.

I love the new Wartrike.

Also, I need this:

Warhammer 40k Quest huh?

Well, y'all know what that means right?

NEW TILES!!!

AHAHAHHA! Couldn't be happier.

They did a preview at Spiel last year. That should be another preview in late October. (25th and 26th)

The tent for GW customers has grown big. Too each their own.

40k is unplayable garbage right now, can skip right pass that.

Shadespire is the best game GW has released so far, eager to see what the next set brings (though booo! more stormcast of course)

I'm not sure if it is to be believed but the Spikeybits synopsis of the Q&A said that GW was going to update the Fortifications and terrain rules for 40k. That would make me happy (assuming they do a good job).

We did not know 3 non-speed freak ork releases are coming. Shadespire has fan ase and LOTR has also loyal fanbase which is why it's being pushed again.

Eldar plastic stuff ain't coming quickly, titanicus isn't getting xenos for minimum year, likely 2. And less sooner more primarch appear to 40k the better.

It happens because they had a preview seminar without any previews. It's just a bunch of teaser trailers. Personally I can't wait for Blackstone Fortress but how about an actual preview? One model, maybe one from each side but instead we get a voiced version of the pic they put up on fb.

Well said. There is a lot of good news here for WH40k, but some people seem to take it personally when they don't get what they want.
