While this is getting OT, I'd love to see Space Hulk as a regular product with expansions like the old days.

Blood Bowl went from getting around 4 plastic kits a year to just one every 12 months or something like that. It's a shame, been waiting on plastic Chorfs for quite a while now.

Tbh if I had to pick anything for GW to release it would be a new Space Hulk, but with Deathwing instead of Blood Angels. Or whatever...just reprint the more recent version, last time it was printed was 2014 or something like that, it's about time to bring Space Hulk back.

Maybe do Space Hulk with several different chapters of SM in an additional box.

With different foes. It could be called Space Crusade!

I wish.

They could do a video showing off the Lion, then having a preorder scheduled for him in an attempt to pretend that last weeks debacle never happened. 😂

I hate it when things sell out! It robs me of the chance to think about buying it in six months... and then not.

No Necro preview once again :(

This right here!

For some reason I read that as Space Charade, and got very confused for a minute.

That's the Harlequins vs. Slaanesh Demons expansion

With the relative lack of Necromunda etc. at Warhammerfest, is it possible that we'll get a Forge World / Specialist Games Open Day sometime in July/August like in the years before 2019? I'd like that very much, but so far nothing in the vein has been announced.

What i find worrying though is that there is nothing for Necromunda... that game needs more support and hype.

I'd at least hoped for pre-pre-preview of the next Aranthian Succession book.

Also Boo! from me!!

We need the High Elfs to complete the set!

Isn't that kind of what boarding patrols are supposed to be?

Awesome. Got MESBG day 1 and Heresy day 2 to look forward too.

Do boarding patrols have the blip mechanic? Genestealers that were out of LOS were represented by a marker that could be (IIRC) between 0 to 3 actual genestealers.
It's been a while since I looked at it, but I think the turn structure was very different with limited action points and stuff like that there. I've still got the box out in the shed, maybe I'll go out and take a gander tomorrow morning.

It's not board-gamey, but in terms of being tight-confines and alternate rules to normal 40k.

Well some don't just want 40k lite on tigh confine areas but want dedicated game with it's own unique mechanisms.

Anything you're particularly hoping to see on the Middle Earth side of things?

Some rumours online the Rhulish War Drakes (not a big monster! A 40mm infantry model like wild wargs) and apparently an updated/ dwarf focused expansion book which would be sweet.


But mostly its very exciting to have anything really!

 Dysartes wrote:

Literally anything to be quite honest. What I suspect we'll see something related to the Last Alliance of Men and Elves/Siege of Barad-dur. They've already done that era's Elrond in plastic and heavily hinted that there's a plastic Gil-galad on the way, so they may well show him off. If they go all in on the Last Alliance themed reveals then it wouldn't be shocking to see plastic Elendil/Isildur. Maybe even a redone High Elf/Numenoran kit/s. The Last Alliance kit is I think about the oldest Middle-earth troop kit, alongside the Moria goblins, and is somewhat restrictive in that it's split between elves and men, so you can't collect one without getting the other. And elf spearmen are still metal as are numenoran spear/bowmen. So wouldn't be shocked if we see a new High Elf infantry kit and one for Numenorans too.
A plastic Sauron would also be fricking cool. (As long as it comes with Isildur and Elendil lying on the ground like the current one has!)

But you asked what i'd like to see, and what I'd currently like to see most of all is a supplement book focus on Balin's reclamation of Khazad-Dum. Something akin to the old Shadow and Flame splat book from yester-year.

I've seen a few mentions of Rhaunish war drakes recently, but haven't seen anything about them rumour-wise. Where have these rumours come from?

Today's teaser pic:



With the text

It's a mere two days to go until Warhammer Fest 2023 – would you rather we showed off something kunnin' or something brutal?

Something Orky for AoS.

Maybe Gorkamorka is making a move in the mortal realms?

The two glyphs present in the picture are for the Jade Realm of Ghyran and the Underworlds of Shysh, if that helps (it probably does not).

If we're wishlisting, a new Orc kit wouldn't hurt either, especially if the Elves and Men get updated kits for the Last Alliance.

An decent ork boy kit.... who am i kidding certainly not that

Finally, monopose orcs!

I'm actually painting mordor orcs at the moment and I was thinking they still held up pretty well.

Im confused. Was sure the teaser pic was Be'lakor (even have the jaw horns), then by the text, its apparently an Ork
Would be interresting to see a mechanised steampunk ork band for AoS. Feels like they have lost most of the crazy whimsical side of the mortal realms lately. There has been mostly solid nostalgia releases that dont challenge the old established concepts.

That actually sounds cool.
