"There is also a seminar with the ’Eavy Metal team, who will be fielding questions and discussing how the miniatures for Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress were painted"

"You can even try out Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress!"

It likely means it goes up for preorder that weekend. People will be going mental for the new Chaos stuff in it.

Any Xenos in it or is it just imperium vs chaos?

Really impressive- I love this a lot more than I thought I would. The eldar ranger - I was expecting to hate- long time eldar collector and I've become a bit bored of them and I had been hoping for a proper corsair or something. But she's very impressive- love the dynamic pose- it makes more sense when you see other angles as she is holding a full sword not a dagger. The "Robot" looks like a suit or some kind - the chest has a big hatch and handle on it- either another ratling or a squat battle suit maybe? The Sister of Battle/missionary looks fantastic and the chaos stuff is more interesting than expected.. looks great model wise for me anyway..

The hatch most likely contains the wetware of the robot.

Possibly but I like the idea of another ratling in there on the controls!

Those big drones certainly aren't as tall as I had expected. They look nice though, but what a letdown on what was already an underwhelming way to wrap up the series.

I wonder if they'll ever make use of the various sculpts or digital resources of them outside of BSF. Seems such a waste to have things like a plastic crusader, yet only continue selling bloody finecast versions of them on the GW webstore. As a matter of fact, the majority of sculpts for BSF have been excellent, and it would be a shame if sprue layout and a disappointing expansion model will see them disappear before too long (yes, I picked up a few separately on ebay, plus the nicely priced box of only the cultist models). Perhaps they'll wait until the game is fully out of production to at least offer some of them as cheaper models, when it will no longer affect the sales of the overpriced expansions. I'm sure Necromunda players will happily get an Ambull sculpt at a less-inflated price.

Yeah I hope they are available separately beyond BSF- I really like the Ambull and Zoat models but the price and gaming guff that comes with them puts me off.

I thought the models were excellent - it was great that they explored the 40k universe bringing back traitor guard and the weirder elements of the Imperium. I was just a disappointed they didn't expand this out to the Xenos factions. Thats why I didn't buy in because both featured factions don't interest me, if there had been a significant Xenos expansion then maybe. I really hope they bring out those miniatures separately at some point - I'd like to be able to get them without the waste of unused gaming materials.
I really think 40 needs a smaller system or two like AoS has with Underworlds and Warcry, rather than stand alone box games like this. Spacehulk had extra rules to allow chaos marines, eldar, guard etc when it initially came out through WD articles-they should do something like that perhaps with "seasons" like the AOS games. Quest seems to be limited run games rather than an ongoing system at this stage, but at least they have used to bring new things out model wise [I can't comment on game play as I don't play presently so models interest me the most]. Hopefully they will create a system where we can see Eldar outcasts/corsairs, Tau explorer/scout teams etc..but I've said this before when discussing Killteam..
