First up, we’ve got a sneaky glimpse of one of Warhammer Underworlds’ most hotly anticipated warbands – meet Mollog’s Mob:
The Mirrored City is full of conquerors, despoilers and seekers of arcane knowledge, but Mollog – an ancient Dankhold Troggoth – just wants a nap! Stirred from a long slumber, he now seeks a bit of peace and quiet, and is more than happy to crack the skulls of anyone who’d deny it to him.
Mollog is accompanied by a small pack of Squiggly beasts, including the already infamous Bat Squig, the toxic Spiteshroom and the Stalagsquig – the squig you never knew you wanted until now. The warband is set to be quite unlike any other that we’ve seen so far in the new season of Warhammer Underworlds, requiring a very different play-style, but it’s probably fair to say that anything on the receiving end of Mollog’s fungal club is in serious trouble!
Mollog’s Mob will be out in the next few months – we’ll have more updates on how this unusual warband works closer to their release.
The Rise & Fall of Anvalor
We can also announce an exciting new licensed board game from WizKids (whose previous credits include Warhammer 40,000 Dice Masters), set in the Age of Sigmar – The Rise & Fall of Anvalor. Here’s the story so far…
“Many previous attempts to build a lasting fortification at Anvalor have failed. Its strategic location on the Great Parch, a particularly arid region of Aqshy, the Realm of Fire, is of supreme importance. However, each new effort to establish a significant foothold has also irked a new foe, an enemy who rises to the challenge of thwarting the attempt. Equally distant from Anvilgard, Hammerhal Aqsha and the City of Brimstone, the competing factions of those great cities have put their quarrels aside and committed to a final push to rebuild Anvalor together. Whoever can secure the new stronghold will also dominate the Great Parch, significantly strengthening their influence in all the Mortal Realms.”
Sounds like trouble is definitely brewing! Warhammer Age of Sigmar: The Rise & Fall of Anvalor is a 1-4 player game that lasts up to an hour with each playthrough. In the game, you and your rivals compete to gather the most influence in Anvalor in order to dominate the budding city or cause its downfall. The player who secures the most influence at the end of the game wins.
There are nine playable factions to choose from, ranging from famous Aqshian rivals, the Hammers of Sigmar and the Khornate legions of Khorgos Khul, to the Vorstarg Fyreslayer Lodge and even the Order Serpentis. We’ll be bringing you more information on this game in the future, so keep your eyes peeled.

Last year they only announced one bloodbowl team and the Necromunda release date so I would not be surprised if this Iis all we see. I hope I'm wrong though.

Come on, Wizkids. Let's finally get a release date for Fury Of Dracula 4th edition, and let's have some coverage for Marvel Strike Teams.. that game is out this month but I know nothing about it apart from the bad stuff ('Clix sculpts).

Quite sure it's not going to happen today. My assumption is that we will get the Delaque reveal next week at blood and glory. Plus GSC.
I'm hoping that as the beasties warband and undead team are on active display (pics popping up from showfloor), that is the reason for the official unveil before the seminar - but it is during that they show some new previews that they do not physically have with them.

Fingers crossed this may be so!
Honestly I thought that with the Ork release over with tomorrow's pre-orders, that these are going up for pre-order next week and we get pictures three days before the usual Sunday announcement.
Not very notable for a sneak peek, so if that's it that'll be pretty boring.
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!
Why is the rum always gone?

It mentions the Underworlds band is coming in a few months.

Thanks, I missed that.
Dull. I would have liked to see the Darkoath band, myself. But if it's going to take months...

Where did you see that? After the Mortis and Gryphonicus transfer sheets, they've said the weapon upgrades and Titandeath campaign book are coming, and then it's just a list of things they might like to do, with no (public) commitment.
We’ve been getting word from multiple game companies of exhibitor robberies at Essen Spiel Messe, the world’s largest game fair, which was held late last month.
Japanime Games posted a press release this week telling the story of its robbery, which took place during breakdown of its booth after the last day. One of the two thieves distracted a Japanime employee while another stole two backpacks, one of which contained between six and seven thousand Euros (between $6800 and $7900). Japanime is asking for donations via a page on its website.
Greenbrier Games had a money bag containing around $1000 stolen from behind a counter at the end of the first day, a smaller amount but still painful, according to the company’s email newsletter.
And Greek company Artipia Games (whose games are sold in the U.S. by Stronghold and CMON) had its entire cash register stolen by a team, two of whom distracted an employee while the other stole the register, according to the account on a Kickstarter project the company is running to try to recover some of the money. One of that team was arrested, unfortunately not the one with the cash. The Kickstarter has raised nearly $17,000 as of this writing, on a $6000 goal.
According to Japanime, other companies also reported thefts at the show.
