Oh, right. Skulls is the renamed annual computer game sale.

When people say 'skullz', I think of the old promo program where you could trade in for paint sets, carry cases and limited edition models.

Awful lot of gay sex in Owlcat games for them to be Kremlin stooges.

More than just that, but yeah.

A quick search of 'Owlcat Ukraine' turns up multinational offices and actual Ukrainian employees, so... yeah. Twit(ter) outrage that has nothing to do with facts, and could do more harm than good if it costs people jobs.

Not that a small RPG developer could move a lot of 'russian funding' in either direction in the first place...

Really tepid so far, just trailers:

Speed freaks (low rez ork vehicle battler)
A chaos 'legendary hero' for TW3 that they seem to have made up on the spot (vaguely based on Harry the Hammerer, I guess, but completely different)
lizards for BB3
some expansion pack for a HH cardgame
some mobile game.

voice guy talking about Boltgun.

Can't really say there was anything I felt made the whole thing worth watching. The brief looks at games like Rogue Trader and Space Marine 2 were nice, but in terms of proper big announcements...hardly anything.

Realms of Ruin (RTS for AoS) was the only major announcement.

I tuned out hard on 'warhammer content' for Power Wash Simulator, which was about the level of the rest, beyond replaying trailers for games we already knew or minor DLC for existing games.
Orks for Battlesector and a new place for Vermintide 2 were the only other things that stood out.

Not made up on the spot.

That is a pretty good rendering of a mini that GW released for the anniversary of Warhammer Fantasy a few years back.

I still think of the original metal model (from the era when they all had 'names' in the catalog), which looks nothing like that.
