Reading the info. It looks like they will take all the info from the blog, the gallery and all the various Facebook pages, add in the rules downloads from the store and leave it at that. Even if it is just that, I will be happy enough if it is organised well.

Was just about to ask. Are they waiting for the people in the UK to come off work or they waiting for the US crowd to wake up on the west coast?

Oh GW, "photography is not our strong suite" LMFAO. Sadly first thing I thought of when I saw this was a Warmachine mini. Already starting by a lie eh? You guys are good with photography. As for the rumours, how can it be a rumour when it's from GW? Steampunk mini by chance?

Yeah, Steampunk Duradin is a rumour from a while back. Was my first thought. Colour palette doesn't really fit into 40k.

So... I'm work blocked, but looked on my phone. This is just a blog? Is there any community interaction at all? Looks like the existing WarhammerTV and blog articles all linked to in one place. Maybe I'm missing something because I'm just getting the mobile view.

Some really good articles on there, the miniature photography one is excellent and goes into details about how to use f-stops, shutter speed, ISO and white balance on a DSLR camera, with lots of sample photos.
http://www.warhammer-community.com/2016/11/13/the-model-photo-how-to-photograph-models-for-display/
The site looks promising, this is the kind of content that was on the GW site before it got turned into a glorified web store about 8 years ago.

Well, it's a Wordpress site. They could enable comments for articles or implement a forum. Don't know if they plan to...

I could be mistaken but none that I see for community interaction at all. Just basically what was missing from the GW website of old. They do give links to the respective Facebook page if you want to leave a comment so I am guessing the community interaction will be on Facebook only.

Gotcha. So it's not really a community site at all. More of a consolidated news feed for their current outlets.

That is the way I take Kriswall. Just an all in one, which for someone like me, is a good thing since I can never find their sites on Facebook since and come to dakka to find the links then book mark them if I want. (yeah I don't know how to use Facebook.  )

It is a nice looking hub for all their stuff which has been kind of scattered around the internet until now. The actual community stuff is the Facebook pages, but is nice to see it all in one place.
The sneak peek really looks like steam punk dwarves. In the bottom right it looks like a dwarf face.

Didn't think it was that impressive Ratius till I scrolled down and saw how large it is. I thought at first it was small very well done board, till I saw the walls. Pretty impressive.

It will be more of an actual community once they get around to posting articles submitted by the community.
