Never has the word initially been so exciting.
Twitter is saying £100 for the big box set.

I fear this will be considerably more expensive than most GW big box games (hence the grandmaster edition tag)

but it could be worth it

I’m getting one, possibly two, regardless.

I am so happy right now, this all looks so good I might cry!

I would think that is way out.

2 warlords each on 3 sprues plus two sprues of knights, a £40 rulebook AND plastic scenery?

They will be selling those warlords for £30+ a piece seperately if they are leviathan sized

I would say its a £150 box.

Maybe even more.

The game is out in August!

From Garro, on Facebook.

GW Seminar details. Weren't allowed to take pics so didn't but pics will be on warhammer community soon.

Details.
Showed the first finished sister of battle mini. It's based off one of the old artworks.

Dark elves are next for bloodbowl. Mix of witches and corsairs in design.

Cawdor are next for necromunda.

AoS stuff
Next start set with stormcast eternals and nighthaunts both getting battletomes shortly after.

New stormcast chamber is all magic users. Video for them is funny AF

AoS 2nd edition is in June. Will have community site content every day until launch like 40k 8th edition did.

Adeptus titanicus is out in August.

AoS is getting plastic models for new spells which stay on the board.

Gortex is coming back to AoS. He is being voices by Brian blessed (not joking, they shared an audio clip)

Imperial knights haven't been shown anywhere yet. But they said they are very close. So after the stuff in WD but before the AoS stuff in late June.

About to go into the forge world studio seminar soon so will post more then

Yeah- I'd say with the scenery you'd be looking at £150-200, but you'd be set for a while.

I think my bank account just fainted The Titans look like GW hit the 40k models with a shrink ray! And those buildings They look like they will work great for converting 40k terrain to epic scale.

Battle Titan! I was wonder what size compare to 40k scale Imperial Knight vs Epic scale Battle Titan??

Well the shrink ray is basically what happened, isn't it. The same sculpts tooled to different sizes (and sprue layouts ofc).

I think I'll stay strong and just get some knights. Are they on 40mm bases?

PS: No mention of Kill Team? Buuuuummer.

Killteam is GW main. The wqy they explained it, is that anything using miniatures that would also see normal use in AoS or 40K, is GW Main. Meaning shadespire and Killteam etc.

Side projects and different scales are "Specialist Games". So stuff like Necromunda, Bloodbowl and Titanicus.

Not a shrink ray. It’s a Debigulator. And for upscaling, a resizeograph.

Reavers look as bad as the full size version, imo. Mini knights are really cool, though - I think a game of all knights and warhounds could be awesome . I was hoping for Cerastus style knights instead of standard, though, since they'd be taller...

Any word on Cerastus knights? If they save them for all resin, they seem like they'd be really fragile...

Absolutely love everything I’m seeing. Hoping I can get 2 core boxes at launch, wallet willing!

I wish the'd show some size comparison pics with 28mm models, it is hard to visualise how big these are.

(Yeah, and I'm not a huge fan of Reavers either. I wish they had other head variants, more knightly face would improve them.)

Everything is looking god so far, would love a nice scale shot (i.e. next to a space marine or something) but they seem big enough to look nice without being so big as to be too expensive.

Probably going to buy into this in a big way. If nothing else that scenery will work wonders with my old epic armies.

P.S. as nice as the pictures are please spoiler them, this thread is unreadable on a mobile device.

Any new on warhound or Imperator?

Yeah I agreed!

Definitely be picking up the big box. My friends and I very excited for this.

Promising start. The mega-starter box will be $200+ I'd guess. I'm actually most impressed by the buildings.

Now, the sad question...will it all be plastic or will they do all the eventual Knight variants etc. in resin?

Scale shot.

No Storm Bolters on those crates. Tsk tsk geedubs...

If I bought this I would have to fight the temptation to buy some Baccus 6mm Zulu War British to have on the bases as supporting Praetorian IG (or Imperial Army as it would gave been).

The company just doesn't put the effort in nowadays.

Imperial Knight is 28 mm tall. Cool!

Ooo - great idea! next stop - Baccus website then Iron Age website!

Minus the base, that doesn't seem that far out of scale for classic epic - original knights were about normal 40K figure sized, and give a mm or so I could see an epic marine coming up to the top of their greaves.

I know titans kind of were always their own scale in Epic, separate from vehicles (who were separate from infantry for the most part), but they don't seem that far out.

Wow.. am lost for words, those look awesome!

Few things are especially cool for me

- The Horus Heresy setting (great idea!)
- It doesn't look like the scale will be that out of whack with existing Epic lines. My Pre-Heresy World Eaters are looking forward to being joined by a Titan cohort
- The extra terrain and stuff like that. Sure it won't be cheap but think it will be a great way of expanding the terrain range.

Without small regiments of infantry I see no difference between using knights and titans vs space marines and terminators in a destroyed city. But I hope the range will add this stuff later. Also small primarchs. What bothers me is that they still play on a 4x4 table which is no still no kitchen table.

But I always wanted to own a Warhound titan. Here comes my chance to get multiple ones.
