Subject: GW Adepticon 2017 Studio Preview-8th edition rumors (p31)
If you’re heading to AdeptiCon* this March, you’d be madder than an Ork Mek to miss our Studio Preview events on Wednesday night.
Now, we’ll grant you, ‘Studio Preview’ doesn’t give much away, and we can’t tell you too much here either (lest we ruin the surprise) but we can tell you it’s not just a bunch of pictures on a powerpoint slide. Because, sure, anything we show you will end up on the internet, and even right here on the Warhammer Community site, quicker than a Speed Freek can rev his engine (it’s unofficial Ork day here in the office).
If you go to the preview event, you’ll not only get to handle a host of new miniatures, (some of which won’t be out for almost a year) you’ll get to play some games with them. And not just any game, a brand new game. On top of that, we’ve even commissioned some special dice for attendees to keep as a momento. And, that’s not even all. You’ll also get to see some new game mechanics we’ve got in mind for existing games and give us your thoughts.
Now, obviously, there will also be a powerpoint presentation (and maybe a video or two) with loads of cool unreleased miniatures and great new art, but that’s just window dressing.
This really is your one-off chance to come and be part of the future of the Warhammer hobby.
If you haven’t already secured your seat, online registration has closed, but there will be a chance to get a spot at the event itself, so be sure to ask at the registration desk when you arrive. There are two Previews – both on Wednesday the 23rd – one at 8:00pm and one at 10:00pm. (Get there early to grab a good seat – it’s easier to heckle from the front!)
If you can’t make it (we get that not every Warhammer fan in the world can fit in single room) then we’ll be showing some of the highlights on our Facebook pages afterwards.
See you there.
– The Orkhammer Community Team

Yea I figured it was going to be Adeptus Titanicus. It's the one game that makes the most sense unless GW have been hiding something else really sneaky.
Yeah this probably deserves its own thread, as it sounds like they'll talk about several things: Adeptus Titanicus hopefully, but also possible new mechanics for current games (moving towards 8th ed?).
I'll be there, and I'll keep you all updated
(although to be honest, I'm really just there for the AT news!)

Man'o'war Bring your flippers and floaties as the game will be played at one of the hotel pools winners come back for the hot tub finale. Their will be a sweet looking turn counter babe in a bikini circling the hot tub with the large turn counter card like in boxing matches.

Just to warn you.
I am 17 stone of idiot.
If your report is lacking, I will find you, and I will sit on you!
Pics pics and moar pics. Of the models. Of the screens. Of anything of even vague interest.
Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
I'd totally be up for a Man o' War revival if the ships looked as good as the ones in Dreadfleet.
More realistically its probably another boxed game. The mention of new models to go with it make me think its something in the vein of DW Overkill, Blood bowl, Silver tower or(fingers and toes crossed) the HH games.
Edit

That bit about some of the new models for the new game not being out for almost a year has really got my wild wishlisting and mad speculation gears going. Sounds like whatever it is its not going to be a one box and done deal.

(also, any chance of spoiler tag to prevent text debigulation?)
Automatically Appended Next Post: Hmmm....
I didn't recognise that at all. Looks Necronish, but not.
You don't suppose they're completely blind siding us with not so much a new game, but a new game universe?
I mean....it's a possibility, surely? And something they've not really done since 1987?
It's stylized, so calling it one thing or another is basically ridiculous. We have similar "icons"(because that's what it is, really) in Tau Empire, CM, Skitarii, AM, MT, and more books.
Well that's a thing First impression is its something fantasy related, although it can be hard to tell with 40/30k sometimes Are those symbols for the winds of magic behind the head?

GOOD.
FETHING.
SPOT!
There are at least FOUR glyphs I can identify.
Lower right corner is Heavens(a bisected triangle with a circle within it), above that is Metal(circle intersecting an arrow).
The left top most is Shadows(an arrow). If you look one ring out and down from it, you can see the glyph for Light(a spoked wheel inside of a circle). Underneath of Shadows is one I do not recognize.
As much as I can't wait to see the re-release of Necromunda, Adeptus Titanicus, BFG, GorkaMorkaand Man o War (but I'm not seeing this one as being very likely)...it would be kinda cool for GW to knock our socks off with a new, unique game (with new figures of course) that isn't based on a hit from the 90's. Bring it on GW!
Something about that image makes me think of the Slaan (or whatever they are called now). I think a board game based around a Slaan temple would be pretty cool. I haven't kept up with all of the AoS fiction, but didnt these guys float off into space with temples on chunks of earth. wrapped in temporal bubbles? Maybe it would cross over into WQ: Silver Tower territory too much...but maybe it is something like a King of the Hill game with a 3D 'temple' board...a mix of the Khorne pit-fighting game, and Talisman or something. Now I'm just spit-balling, but I'd really like to see GW do something unexpected and cool to compliment (or better, juxtapose) all of the nostalgia-ware they've been pumping out.
Possibly shadow Elves? There were rumours a while ago about a slight Cthulhu deep one's influence to them. Green/grey skin with golden eyes hidden behind a mask could fit.
Legion: Dark Angels
