How do!

So it’s WHW’s 25th Anniversary this year, and they’re doing a ticketed event to celebrate.

Warhammer Community wrote: If all of that wasn’t enough, we’re also looking forward to the 25th anniversary of Warhammer World. Over the weekend of the 5th and 6th of March 2022, we’ll be throwing a truly memorable party to celebrate the heart and home of the Warhammer hobby. Expect heaps of fun activities, which visitors will be able to complete in return for rewards. There will, of course, be ample event- and anniversary-exclusive miniatures up for grabs too.

Eventbrite ticketing page wrote: Bring your friends and family to Warhammer World and join us to celebrate twenty-five years at our Nottingham headquarters. Take part in a variety of fun building, painting, and playing activities to immerse yourselves in the worlds of Warhammer and earn rewards. There will also be exclusive miniatures and gifts available to commemorate this special event.

Collect an activity card in the atrium on your arrival and join in with all the great activities on offer to get your card stamped and earn your rewards!

Due to social distancing and our own drive to keep our customers as safe as possible we have limited tickets to 1,000 across four slots over two days. These are10am - 2pm and 2pm - 6pm on Saturday 5th March, and 10am - 2pm and 2pm - 6pm on Sunday 6th March.

Might be strapping on my very best Lootin’ Boots for this one, as it promises to be a rich seam of Pretty Things and Tat/Merch!

I remain hopeful of brand new Exclusives as well.

That artwork of the chaos marine sorcerer is pretty sweet. Is that from a codex or is that something new?

It's from the Thousand Sons codex, one of the Cults I believe.

no new year preview/event then?

**Gert**

Not really much to preview when all the GSC, T'au, Custodes, and the new 40k box have been revealed. There's an AoS box to get shown but that seems to be it for now. One would assume people might be happy that GW isn't showing hundreds of things that are months down the line.

Why would that make people happy? GW being secretive about releases (and not being able to plan around impending replacement kits and new stuff to get excited about for factions other than the flavor of the month) is a perennial complaint about the way they do business.

How is it secretive when you have nearly every 40k release for the next 3-4 months known? You know exactly what armies are coming out and what they're getting update wise, all you don't know is the exact rules changes for every single unit/sub-faction/weapon. And the complaints I see aren't that GW is secretive, it's that they never release stuff for army X, game Y, over-release for army Z, and that the release schedule is far too rapid (except during Covid when it was too slow).
It's genuinely hilarious because GW is actually updating Craftworlds with things people were asking for and they still complained about it.

Blood bowl, kill team, necromunda.. games with quarterly releases, usually in February, that nothing is known yet about what will be next.

The cursed city expansions.

More of the renewal of eldars or chaos and not continue showing more marines ..

Some clue about the next AoS army with great renovation and not only with a couple of characters as this new box will be.

**Gert**

AoS is getting a reveal today and Cursed City isn't even available to buy yet, expecting announcements of expansions is getting way ahead of yourself.
CMS and Craftworlds just got their box teased which will likely be at least 3 months away, plenty of time to show off new minis.
As for the specialist games, there isn't going to be a whole New Years' event just for them.

The biggest takeaway from all of this is "the community isn't happy when GW doesn't show previews and the community isn't happy when GW does show previews". Have people considered maybe not being annoyed all the time?

Maybe if they weren't showing marines who will surely released later than eldar and chaos, I'd at least be happy.

Because like many, many people, I don't play tau, GSC or Custodes? So the next three months of no real 40k releases (which by the way is one single tau special character model) doesn't mean squat.

It's genuinely hilarious because GW is actually updating Craftworlds with things people were asking for and they still complained about it.

Yep, all those aspect warriors that... oh, no, wait.
But hey, space marine characters are getting _swords_. That's so amazing!

I mean, they did confirm more aeldari are coming and the leaks haven't disproven that so far

Do you mean this?

This box is on its way soon, and it’s just the start of an incredible year for the Aeldari, Chaos, and Warhammer 40,000 in general.

I guess you could take that as confirmation of something. Deciding its aspect warriors seems a stretch to me. It could just be the codex coupled with the usual levels of GW's hype-speak.

Tickets are up. Booked mine for 10am on the Saturday.
