How do?

Opening this now so all the pics and info can be easily found.

Anyone heard of what we can expect?

We can expect the expected and unexpected.

Very excited and hope we see some new AoS stuff - esp considering that between the leaks and the dwindling time left for the year we now know all that's coming for AoS until beginning of January (with the only real mystery being what's happening with those repriced/repacked/redesigned warcry sets)

There was a splash page on the 40k Facebook that I can no longer find.

It had a very Mechanicus flavor to it.

Found it! Sorry for the FB link:

It's the 40k Open Day, so I think you'll be a bit disappointed.

There are two outstanding rumour engine pics that look very AdMech, so this looks promising.

I don't expect a 40K scale plastic thunderhawk, so I wonder if that will be there then?

actually i'm hoping for a full on squat biker but it's probably too soon for that

ooooh maybe Dark Mechanicum?

Looks pretty standard mechanicum
I wonder if the symbolic 'crossword' to the upper right is meaningful in some way.

Mars is in there twice (nowadays its used as the 'male' symbol, but that's the astrological symbol for mars), with a summation symbol between them, and a backwards symbol of Ceres in a couple places.

It'd be nice, but '40k Open Day' seems to have a built in theme.

It'd be equally nice if the Chaos stuff went up for preorder tomorrow, but I expect/hope we'll see the official pre-announcement for pre-order on Sunday.

Plastic Sisters of... wait...

due to the amazingly quick sell out of the the box last week, the whole new SoB range has now been squated.

I'm not really all that excited for this and not expecting much, hopefully they slip in some SG stuff like the grot bommer for AI.

Hoping we get to see the Triumph of St Katherine.....that could be a great model if done right.

Plastic Ordinatus please

I have a feeling they will, but I really hope they don't as it'd be a waste of a reveal. According to the leaked release schedule it's up for pre-order in another week or two.

It'd be better to show the rumored Space Marine, Eldar, or Chaos flyers imo.

Mechanicus would be nice with a couple more characters, maybe a flier and another elite and or fast attack choice. Adeptus Titanicus would also fit the theme, maybe the next plastic titan for that? Hopefully in a few months though, need time for the wallet to recover.

The game desperately needs new factions soon, it's starting to fizzle out in my area cause orks vs imperials is a pretty bland or generic matchup. I wouldn't be surprised though if we mostly get a bit more SoB stuff and mechanicus with little else.

It's in the codex.

No Model = No Rules

So, it's a given we'll get the model soon.

Right, but I'm hoping we get to see what it looks like as there are no current images of that model.

I’m hoping that, if the rumours are true, we’ll get to see a new Ghazghkull and Traitor Guardsmen.

We could do with some more Space Marines for sure. And failing that just more imperium over all.

Xenos have gotten way too many kits in the past little bit.

A quick heads up. The Aos open day had a bunch of teasers but only actually revealed one model.
They will probably show off the full sisters range and maybe a model or two from one more upcoming release.

Tecnically we've seen some of the Cherubim that are flying around it, but yes, it would be nice to see the whole thing.

For some reason I really want to see the Sister from the procession who's wielding the Praesidium Protectiva.

What time in GMT are we expecting reveals?

They said reveals start just after 9.30 am GMT, so just over an hour from now.

I would love it if they released that other character they made outside the killteam box that I didn't pick up, that would be amazing, as cool as Tech priest Dominus and standard tech priests are.

9 I think. In half an hour. Hope we see new Ghazzy and anything else Xenos, maybe a Necron character.

I like both of the new big things....

They look cool, the ad mech thing has rear legs it looks like ? That is a bit, strange. I'm not about to get excited for it as I'm sure it'll be around 100$ USD so probably a pass regardless. Looks interesting though.

The sisters model, looks amazingly busy and with how tall it is you'll really need to brain storm a way to make it so it can be stored for a case and travel, already giving me night mares. Also, I'm concerned it'll be hugely over expensive for a cool looking, but soft rules wise model which will make me a sad man thing.

Those are incredible!

That mistress of repentia is not very good. Bad face sculpt and odd pose, the one in the limited edition box was way better....ouch. The rest looks good though.
