"Friday evening sees ‘The Pete and Andy Show’, as it has become known! Pete Foley and Andy Smillie get together to talk about the news and new releases from the studio over the next few months. Previously in this kind of seminar, we saw a preview of Shadespire a good 7 or 8 months prior to release, a new edition of Warhammer 40,000 was revealed and, most recently, at the Nova Open they showed off models and information about next year’s Warhammer Age of Sigmar releases – so this is certainly not one to be missed."

This is pretty self explanatory. they are all but saying they are going to make quite the big announcements, but the questions is: which ones?

What date is this scheduled? Tomorrow or some other Friday? Where will it take place? On Twitch stream or at some event?
If anyone from here goes then please ask about plastic Sisters of Battle.

This is pretty self explanatory

It isn't at all.

Who, what, when, where, why?

What is 'blory?'

Is this a youtube video, a live event, and twitch stream? What day, timezone, anything at all?

It is a seminar taking place this Friday at the blood and glory tournament in the UK. It wil start at 9pm UK time. Unfortunately it will not be streamed but the key news usually appears on the warhammer community site after the seminar finishes.
The previous events have introduced 8th edition, Shadespire and Necromunda so it is reasonable to expect some big news.

The next “Big” announcement should be AT then

I predict the announcement is that Orks and Necrons will be combined into one unified faction with the release of the next Codex. Moot Green will be the new red.

It wouldn't surprise me if we learned what some of the next codexes will be.

Rak'gol next year baby. I'm playing the long shot. Betting 100 dakkapoints.

I doubt it. Not with Necromunda just about to come out.

Since the biggest tournament at blood and glory is AOS and the 40k open day is just around the corner. I am expecting/hoping it to be focused on Malign Portents.
Hastings has suggested that there are two big releases next year which are not just another faction. It is possible we may get a peek at one of those. (Inq28????!!!!!????)

Uff, tomorrow my mind is gonna be on the Blizzcon and the big reveal of the next WoW expansion, but I'll try to give some mental attention to GW too

I'd be excited to see any glimpses of gangs/expansions for Necromunda and Shadespire more than anything else. I'm done with 40k and AoS for the time being, decided to scale back to only smaller games.

Please Adeptus Titanicus / Epic!

It's a classic "news seminar" the GW team is holding at almost every conventions they go, these days.

Following this article on WarCom, https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/10/06/blood-glory-in-the-uk-gaming-seminars-previews-and-more-oct-6gw-homepage-post-3/

they interviewed Ben on Warhammer TV ; he explicitly said the news would be about the AoS event "Malign Portents", and perhaps some AoS Nurgle - I hope for mainly AoS news, as Chikout said, B&G is clearly AoS oriented.

This is exactly how I feel (and exactly what I did with my miniature hordes).

It would be nice to hear how GW plans to roll with releases for 40K after the codex releases finish; considering that early next year they will be done with. So knowing how they might plan to continue releases into the new edition would be neat.

AOS though is good news, though kinda disappointed that its more nurgle. I keep hoping that of all four gods, Slannesh gets some attention as all the others have had recent releases in abundance.

Well, the Nurgle news are old news (at least Great Unclean One, Beasts of Nurgle - see the new artwork for them in the Death Guard codex, and Pestigors).

Malign Portents will give each Grand Alliance an "unique" character (we saw the Death one : the Knight Of Shrouds), it should cover more Death too (probably a Deathrattle Battletome - absent from the GHB2017 Allegiance Abilities section along with Nurgle), and we'll have more news on the fate of Slaanesh too; that should cover Hosts of Slaanesh, Shadow Aelfs and Clans Eshin...

Add news about 40k (they said on Warhammer TV that after the Codex, they will start campaigns), new gangs and bands for Necromunda & Shadespire ...

If we get even a glimpse on all that tonight I'll be a happy nurgling !

All about the Nurgle goodness!

More nurgle jeez is this still going? How much longer is this happening? I’m getting sick of hearing about it now. I get they want to tease it out but I feel they overdid it now. Even if they were teasing Tau for this long I would think this overdone. Just get on with it jeez hate this stuff nothing kills my mood more than waiting forever after being teased over and over.

It’s like Godzilla 2014 at this point where they keep teasing and teasing seeing him and the fight and still nothing. That movie is terrible for that.

Edit
At this point it feels like the AoS news front is constipated with nurgle news.

Rumours =/= news. We haven’t had much, if any, actual news.

When "Rumours" come from the official company in formal events it counts as news

They just need to squeeze out that Great Unclean One already!

...That and a Battletome, hopefully.

Yes, but there hasn’t been much. Gamgee is conflating rumours and news and acting as though GW are dragging it out. We haven’t got much from GW.

And what have we actually got from GW about Nurgle? We got the Death Guard stuff months ago but that’s (almost) all out. I don’t recall anything official about GUO or pestigors.

So just to be clear this happened todayi. I was kind of hoping there would have been some news by now.

Regarding Pestigors, the only official part is that they're mentioned in several pieces of lore/orders of battle from 8th edition.

Ctrl+R each second

Ok boys the Blizzcon presentation is over and it has been a blast. GW, don't dissapoint me now

We probably won't hear much until its over and everyone rushes to text and blog on their phones.
