They usually do a preview at Nova which is at the end of August.

Don't GW do GenCon?

They have the last three years...

Barely. Even for the 50th Gencon a couple years ago it was a token effort. They had a demo table for Dark Imperium, which was pretty cool, and some pamphlets teasing Warhammer Underworlds, but as far as I remember, they didn't even have any of the actual product on display to hype it. I had to wait until it was shown here on Dakka later. Booths like the Warstore probably moved more GW product than the GW booth.

That’s not true Aegis. I passed by their booths. They had space to demo several games of Kill Team and Shadespire. They had two separate free painting areas and a store where they sold Forgeworld items. I don’t know what their event presence was, but in the exhibit hall it was strong.

Was that last year? I didn't go to that one. If so, then it's good they have stepped up their game, because literally the one before the Warhammer Underworlds release didn't have a single thing about it but the pamphlet teaser, which I don't think even had a single model pictured, or anything about the gameplay.

And there was a single demo table for AoS, and one for Warhammer 8th, which had just recently released.

Cool to know that they have increased presence, as I rember when they didn't even have a booth other than the one for Forgeworld.

Sounds like an obvious thing for GW to make a Bonesplitterz crew for this setting.

The image of the old stone vault with eyes above has a great sword and sorcery feel to it.
I imagine Conan finding an ancient underground temple/palace inhabited by a huge snake stalking the desserted corridors.

Hm, lotsa wounds but dodge for defence, higher speed than the ironjaw mob too. Upgrades and spells to represent magic tattoos, a built-in reaction attack when Inspired (frenzy and all that), one guy with a bow, one with a spear, one shaman, and a boss with choppas…

I could see that working out OK.

Was a level to order mine today from Barnes and Nobles $49.95 real money (USD) freeshipping and got 15% for first time order. They also had combat arena available for $39.95.

I don’t know how long they’ve had them on site to order, so sorry if others have already said this.

Yep, Dreadfane, didn’t say preorder. Shows 3-5 day shipping, got my confirmation and it doesn’t say anything about a preorder release day, so I’m expecting it this weekend. I checked Combat arena and no local B&N had it instock, but it could order it.

Just checked the website again, says order today and guaranteed by August 5th.

Interesting because I'm looking at it and both say this:

Publication date: 08/31/2019

Not available for Buy Online, Pick up in Store. May be available for in-store purchase.

So you might be able to order them...but you'll be waiting a bit.

Ordered on my mobile device, doesn’t show publication date. Used full website and see the publication date now, but it wouldn’t be the first time that publication date was wrong. They’ve had production models since the toy fair and the models are the same as the ones from Storm Strike. If it isn’t for another month I have plenty to keep me busy until then.

Different colored from what I can tell. I'm gonna make a call.


Talked to my local Barnes & Noble. From what they said:
It's on order now from their distribution network. The release date is August 31st, but it might come for individual orders since it's for a customer rather than the shops themselves. "Limited numbers for ordering".

War of Sigmar has posted the Dreadfane cards

So maybe that shipping date wasn't wrong.

BEAST ON BEAST VIOLENCE!
I'm a bit disappointed they aren't Wanderers...but damn. Kurnothi are solid.

Beastgrave is Beatsmen vs Kurnothi - Draknar’s Ravagers vsSkaeth’s Wild Hunt.

You edited it.

That's a weird mix if really good and really awkward. The Beastmen are really nice, as is the centaur, but the Pan-elves seem... off? Like something GW would produce 10, maybe 15 years ago.

 Kanluwen wrote:

Yeah teach me to read the article properly!

So that list of 8 warbands is looking ropey OK Kurnothi could be confused with Wanderers but Beastmen didn't feature.

Theophony should be happy though Beastmen are in (first post I saw when I went back 2 pages to look at rumour list)

Both warbands shown are fine just nothing wow in them. The Kurnothi legs look weird though.

Okay, those satyr-elves look interesting. I wonder what their lore is like?

I'd assume it will be spinning out of the lore for the continent of Kurnotheal in Ghyran. Kurnoth had, effectively, a whole continent as a 'hunting preserve' and the Realmgate there was linked to Ghur.

Weird mix of Warbands for a starter set.

Beasts of Chaos are cool, but hardly a popular faction, and those Aelves... the Centaur and lion creature are nice, but those Aelves are somewhat off... the dynamic poses try too hard and, after snake Aelves and tree Aelves do we really need satyr Aelves?

The answer to "Do we really need satyr Aelves?" is:

Hell yes we do. Especially if Kurnoth's waking up, as hinted at.

Not a fan of their hair but otherwise those are some cool aelves. Nice mask on the Centaur too, reminds me of Mistweaver Saih.

The hair is the best part! Satyr legs always look a bit weird, and these are not an exception. The middle one looks particularly odd to me, but perhaps it is just the angle.

I wonder if these will be a full AOS faction eventually, or at least full new units for Wood Elves?

I was wrong, I was thinking and hoping that the horns were on a chaos warrior's helmet. It's a cool pair of warbands, and I'll pick up the new starter set, but it's nothing I need right away. That's good for me, means I don't have to worry about fitting this and Dreadfane into my budget right now.
