Huh. Wonder what that could be. Personally, I would have preferred them not to tell us, since they've been so vague its only asked more questions. One of them has to be Steampunk Duardin though.

Here is one thing they will announce....

I was expecting that this was going to be some misplaced Warscroll on the site.. I really was not expecting actual rules in a Warscroll.

Off-topic comment about Kirby:

Spoiler:

I wouldn't say that, he just was really, reallly, bad at the "gaming" side of the hobby. Like every gaming industry, you have guys that know both sides of the business and then you have guys who only know about business and let the game side suffer.

He was the latter.

To his credit he kept GW from going under a couple of times in the past but he was so busy catering to the investors and the "whaling" part of the business that he left a horrible taste in the mouth of the gamers and hobbyists.

So ya know, do a little background checking for yourself and then judge. He'll still be bad but at least not "nuts".

A lot of that is not accurate, and giving him more credit than he deserves, or the benefit of the doubt at best.

Well I admit I do tend to do that at times.

Just trying to keep opinions about Kirby balanced. To much of the fanbase are willing to exaggerate his shortcomings to the extreme.

I am really really anticipating the Duardin. I think I am going to get into them big time!

Awww yeah I need some Chamon folk to put into my crusade.

What's a Chamonian's favourite music?....... Metal!

I wish for it to be plastic Sisters.

They'd fit in really well with your Ironweld force.

I wonder if their airship (if true) can have a Gryph-hound made into a figurehead on it?

That joke needs to be ironed out ore you're never gonna steel people's applause.

Competitive. WAAC. And WAAC Competitive!

This week's reveal will probably be Duardin. Retailer information usually appears the Monday before preorder, so given that Duardin are probably up for preorder on the 25th we would know all about the release before adepticon. Doing a preview this week lets them be avoid having to tell people what they already know at adepticon.
Adepticon will probably feature most of the following: the new board game, shadow Aelves, 8th edition, generals handbook, nu space marines and orks (all the orky jokes in the adepticon preview are not a coincidence and Hastings has said new orks are coming)
The adepticon event is pretty much a first for the main GW studio. It will be very interesting to see to what extent they blow the doors off.

Kevin Rountree the best ceo in GW history?

Well, he's got my vote.

Essentially there's been 3, and one of those was Kirby, but let's not judge history before it's made, eh?

One nice thing (for me leastways) is that some Titanicus is almost certain to be part of the news!

I was going to say something about Trump but that's off topic and people will just say it's not the same thing...

'Cause it's not.

I still think back to a Games Day, one of the last, many moons ago where FW and BL showed off all their upcoming stuff, and GW showed of... the Skaven that they had just released.

Not a single thing was new from them. Just all old stuff. This is the same company who not long prior had showed off metal Grey Knights and Necromunda Arbites/Enforcers at a Games Day.

I do hope they've improved.

His time is not over.

In other words, he has only just started to right this ship.

Remember the speculation about the plastic Thunderhawk Gunship? I hope it is that.

I think the world would explode if they announced plastic Warhound, Thunderhawk, Sisters of Battle and Squats.

No idea if it's true but in one of the Horus Heresy books you can upgrade your troops to be squats? Was that in Inferno?


Demiurg were introduced in the Tau expansion for Battlefleet Gothic.

Are Demiurg and Squats the same thing just with different names?

I remember going to games day even longer ago and seeing the falcon grav tank for the first time several months before the release date. They even had some prerelease stuff to buy. If we can get a return to those days I will be very happy.

Well, the previous post mentioned testing out new mechanics at Adepticon, which seems incredibly likely to be 8th edition rules.

My money is on 1). new marines / variants, or 2). subtle info about 8th edition, or 3). the next chapter of the story following up Gathering Storm.

Well we already have the rules for 8th Ed. They're here.

Some people are just too cool for school.

I knew getting back into 40k this year would be good.

I didn't realise it would be THIS good though!

Of course. But the other speculated thing is MOAR Space Marines. So there really is no winning for GW.

Am I the only one really /really/ wanting more mk.8 Errant marines and an expansion to the story? (leave the heresy to forgeworld where it's strongest).
