Prepare for a Rumble of Reveals Next Weekend With the Warhammer Preview Online! Summer Skirmish

Welcome to a sensational summer for fans of skirmish games! Whether you enjoy small-scale special ops in the grim dark future, or compact chaotic clashes in the weird and wonderful Mortal Realms, big reveals are on the way.

Warhammer Preview Online! Summer Skirmish will be loaded with reveals for our skirmish games, so join us live by tuning in on the Warhammer Twitch channel at 2pm BST on Sunday the 10th of July.

We’ll also be covering everything right here on Warhammer Community, if you can’t make it to the stream or just want to luxuriate in the awesome reveals at your own pace after the show.

Kewl.

Hopefully Aeronautica and Titanicus will get a look during the week.

So what we billing for each of them?
Whatever next BB Team is.
Kill Team, the Inquisition/Elite Guard vs Maybe Nids.
Underworlds, next warband.
Necromunda is more Ash Wastes stuff, models or just book info.
Warcry, the swamp people for that box, maybe other side.

Sunday is an odd day (and it clashes with the Austrian GP ). I wouldn't be surprised if they do a preview at 2PM and then announce some of the preorders at 6PM.

GW have forgotten those games even exist. Either they'll release Epic or those games will be slowly mothballed.

Good to see Blood Bowl on the list of games. I have to wonder how much longer GW is going to take to release the Khemri team.

You know, as I was clicking the thread I literally thought, I'm gona bring up Adeptus Titanicus in clear mockery of the poeple who always bring up unrelated games that clearly aren't mentioned in the promo. But here you are, with the first reply.

I'm not convinced the other Kill Team will be Nids. We already saw the old Genestealer models in the Kasrkin leak photo, so it's unlikely GW are updating the traditional Space Hulk units. If they swapped out marines for guardsmen then anything is on the table. I'm going with one of:

GSC neophytes with upgrade sprue
Something Necron related (there's a rumour engine pic likely to be them, and Necrons are on the cover of the new CA)
Daemons

Titanicus is just in the traditional slowdown phase before some big update. Blood Bowl & Necromunda both received a big refresh after four-ish years, and we're approaching that point for AT.

We've not had a falling out before and honestly thought you're one of the better posters here.

So instead of biting back I shall say this; I'm disappointed and would like to think you're just having an off day.

You're probably right, but I didn't notice those slow downs. At least not to the point where its been a single forgeworld release in seven months, but then again I don't play those particular games...

Well, they're learning, slowly - announce the games at the same time you announce the event.

Now, if we can only get them to stop doing "biggest ever!" for previews that are nowhere near, that'd be grand...

That almost felt like a running gag whenever they claimed that.

I mean it could be after Amazons, Chaos Dwarfs, Slannesh and Tzeentch, High elves, Vampires, Slaan, Bretonnians etc...so might be a few years away. There's still quite a few teams to truck through at one a quarter.

A Chaos Dwarf team would be fantastic.

I am very excited for Necromunda.

Whilst by no means the best rules, the scope, scale and models of the game are my absolute favourite.

Everything else I can hammer around the horseshoe of my own stupidity to taste. As ever that is my preference and something I genuinely enjoy, not apologetics for shonky/crap basic rules.

Good to see all the hype for Titanicus up there.

Sadly not. They might do any AI and AT announcements as regular Warhammer Community articles, if there is anything for them.

To be fair to blackfang, when I saw the literal first reply of this thread referencing two games that specifically were not mentioned in the preview announcement, I had a similar reaction.

Is that a new Warcry-logo?

Okay, then. To clarify, I was disappointed that the first preview in a while will not be featuring AI or AT, as those games have been quiet of late - more so for Titanicus.

They've not had these big previews - usually on saturdays - as much this year, so it seemed that while this preview has nothing to do with AI or AT, they could pop up as ordinary articles on the side.

Thats all I meant, nothing more.

It is indeed. I'm assuming its a new edition.

Well it’s the new setting.
Didn’t they say that isn’t a new edition?

Oh of course. It's a whole new setting.

Maybe they'll reveal the box so that we can see the part that's most important to every one of us here:

The new terrain!

This is what I'm excited for. As I've opined many times, warcry is the main GW product that keeps me coming back. The design of the new Hashut guys is nice, if a little uneven it's appeal to me (personal taste, I get how some people love/hate them), and I'm cuious about the nurgle guys, hoping they wont be too nurgly.

Buy I'm very curious about the terrain, particularly in light of my dungeons and lazers pledge

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath. You should probably put Slaanesh at the back of the list, too. I might be interested in them as well, so it would be silly to expect them to come out either.

Is GW currently releasing a team per quarter? It feels like they slowed down recently.

You'd say that, but it's truer than usually. More warbands cosplaying a theme aren't a big deal, though obviously good for those who happen to like that theme. But you just don't get the new setting across without appropriate terrain.

I hope it ends up looking cool. And practical. And modular. Nah, just kidding. There's no hope of it being modular.

Warcry logo is "new". We already saw it being used in Warhammer Fest Preview. GW can call the next boxed set an expansion but new graphic design gives the feeling of an update similar to BloodBowl Second season edition. I just hope that it doesn't render all previously printed material useless like BloodBowl did.

Speaking of BloodBowl, I hope for new plastic Star Players or Big Guys. It's either a new additional book of rules or plastic, GW wouldn't waste a preview on resin.

Necromunda is a mystery. Some gangs are still lacking an upgrade sprue but that seems hardly preview-worthy. I wouldn't mind a new vehicle, terrain piece or Scavvy gang.

Kill Team is behind Warcry on preview cycle so it's too early for a full boxed set reveal. I expect one model and name of the new boxed set. Warcry might get a full boxed set reveal though, given that one of the warbands has been fully revealed already.

Interested to see what they do for Underworlds, as the current theme seems to be cloak'n'dagger.

There was a roadmap alongside the first box last year which ended after 4 quarters at Q2 2022, but looked open-ended.

Weren't the last KT sets released in Feb and May? If this new one shows up on August then they're still on schedule.

Think they meant blood bowl teams.

Yeah, Blood Bowl teams.

Like I said, it feels like GW has been slowing down with Blood Bowl releases. Not sure if they have, which is why I asked, but again, it certainly feels like it. Between that and doubling down on Empire and Orcs for the new edition, it feels like an endless wait for the teams I'm actually interested in.

GW: Get ready for the new preview with absolutely NO ADEPTUS TITANICUS! You heard that right, ABSOLUTELY ZERO ADEPTUS TITANICUS! There isn't going to be a SINGLE Adeptus Titanicus thing on it! You will get NOTHING if you're an Adeptus Titanicus fan so GET READY!

People here: oh boy I hope they show off something cool for AT

Still waiting for the Cities of Sigmar crew for Underworlds. Maybe now, when they get turned into Crusades or whatever, they will release some normal (for AoS) humans?
