I think that tomorrow's reveals from GW deserve a separate thread, and here it is. Feel free to discuss anything related

It's a fun gimmick, you've got to think whichever side loses will get a warhammer community update soon enough anyway - not like they're not going to advertise new models.

Personally I just used the code and flipped a coin to get into the prize draw, I don't really play 40k just paint the models

Either codex is 6 weeks to nearly 4 months out, so it might be a bit of a wait for the other one potentially.

I do imagine the marine one is going to be very predictable and dull in comparison to the nid one, given the marines already have a load of units awaiting release from Agustus, multi-parts of the new monopose units and a lot of re-sculpts/analogue units eating up their budget.

To me it seemed logical to vote marines to put more time between the Space Marine 'reveal' and the next Space Marine reveal (alongside the Dark Angels codex)

I've heard that the side that lost will have the moulds for their new minis destroyed, and all produced stock sent to landfill.

I mainly want to see a new tda chaplain, the multipart terminators, and if there is a new flier for marines. Maybe some new bike hq models. For nids, it's about the genestealers, lictor, and any potential lords of war

I want to see what Terminators are on the way, so I expect that Tyranids won. Which isn't an altogether bad thing. Though I have more use for Marines, I think by and large Tyranid reveals will be more interesting to see.

4 months? That puts us to november and like 2 weeks to put out 2 codex.

September-october for both and both previews close to each other. They have plenty of hyping to do for elsewhere.

Most likely the two codexes will drop close together, then get follow-up waves of models towards the end of the year. I expect they'll want to be done with those releases before AdMech & Necrons in winter.

Also, just to have this in the thread:

Yes I said either codex is in that range, one might be 6 weeks away in August, the other might be the last week of November.

Pretty sure neither Codex is coming out in August unless that's been shifted to an Autumn month.
40k road map has Nids and Marines slated for Autumn which probably means September after Legions Imperialis releases in August.

Doubtful that they would have them that far apart.

They'll want to release the first two codices pretty quickly and pretty close together. I'd imagine there will be army sets coming as part of that push, to allow for additional Combat Patrols out the gate.

If they do that it invites a dry spell until I'd guess January.

Depends upon how big of a release the next two armies(AdMech and Necrons), slated for "Winter" are getting.

Necrons, after all, will need a new Combat Patrol set.

And let's not forget that we have KT relaunching in the autumn as well.

Here’s hoping for a smorgasbord of Tyranid gribblies tomorrow afternoon.

Not only are they typically more visually interesting than Marines, but despite having had a fair few new units over the years, it’s been yonks since a significant expansion was made to them in a single edition.

I’ve a feeling there’ll be a little bit of the losing side shown as well. They’ll want to whet as many appetites as possible. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a trailer/mini-preview for all the other factions too. Like when they revealed the Sororitas Palatine etc.

Even if they don’t get the spotlight, might be worth scouring the background of pictures to see what the nids are snacking on. Might be some fresh treats on the menu.

The social media team also confirmed at least one additional bonus preview after the battle for thingy stream (as a reward for the twitter account reaching 125k followers). This might come on monday, the last social media extra-previews did.

Could always be an Accurate Wording Troll.

The winning side seeing there new models first by no means rules out the losers getting their preview immediately after, no?

For the Maureen’s, I’m at least hopeful the new Dread will be shown to have multiple weapon options.

Yeah that’s a definite possibility. As for the dread I wonder if we’ll see a consolidated redemptor kit with options to build the original load out, the ballistus and the brutalis. Would certainly save shelf space.

The sprues don't line up that neatly. Balistus could see a kit with parts to double up on either weapon option

Half an hour to go.

oh gods please yes lets have the Malanthrope come back!

Just replace the resin crap and give us new 'Stealers. Anything that's new beyond that is gravy.

Just joined in. Are they still rambling?

Get on with it, haha
