Who runs Bartertown?

Exactly! I want that Master Blaster guy!

Did anyone see anything related to blood bowl lizardmen?

thanks to eggheadminiatures

I really hope we see those two scarecrow/stitched, full face masks in model form at some point, they look brilliant.

MOD EDIT - SPOILER TAGS ADDED..

I'm quite surprised they've been allowed to do a Primaris Blood Angel with so much bling.

It looks great though.

It's a Blood Angels praetor for 30k, not a primaris

So it is. Sorry, I got tricksied by the helm.

Physical model for the Necron Titan.

Yay giant Canoptek goodness! !

Any ideas of a price tag at all?

Looks like its made from laser cut wood with that paint scheme

That thing does not say "centerpiece model" to me sorry.

Don't forget you're viewing the model at a front to corner on angle; its far longer, you can just see the back leg quite far out the rear of it in the photo (the glass and angle somewhat hides it).

The necron model has hooks to allow easy swapping and there were two weapon options on display. No price , size wise I'd guesstimate 175-250 as it looks to be on par with an imperial larger knight parts wise.

I found it looked massively cooler in person than in the cad art we had last time.

Call me pedantic - but how does he draw his sword with a scabbard like that...



At the risk of upsetting every Xenos player everywhere - I hope to god they hurry up and release Praetors for all the Legions. Need me some Salamanders goodness (Alongside those' unique' stormshields that they never got )

Not the way he's apparently trying to draw it, that's for sure. It'd have to have a notch in the top to allow it to draw up and out.

I take it that it's based on the Ancient Greek/Near East Kopis. In which case it should look like this:

That would require GW artists to have ever seen an actual weapon or have some understanding of how it functions. One only has to look at or read about bolters to see how that does not happen.

Ahhh, bolters are sort of ok - the Gyrojet range of weapons from the 50's (I believe) worked on a similar principle of rocket propelled rounds - but they weren't terribly reliable. That said, GW does seem to be amusingly unaware about the need to place the ejection port in line with the barrel...

Worth mentioning that this time it seemed the staff on the various stands were far more keen to talk to people and whilst some topics were obviously no go (exact dates, exact prices, releases not shown) they were very happy to talk naturally about what was on show and to get stuff out of cabinets for photos, etc

Twilight were there any hints or pointers on the fantasy realms and the work there? Early days to be sure but be neat if there's any news on that front.

No, they aren't. And we know that precisely BECAUSE of those gyrojet rounds. The advantages of this technology are that it's nearly recoilless and allows for light weight weapons. Sort of the OPPOSITE of a bolt gun.

Sword at least has grip, compared to some bolters, so you have to give em slack, they are advancing. Soon we will even have barrel on the right side of the gun!

It just bothers me because, when I went to college for art, the first words out of the teachers mouth on day one of sculpting class was 'Do Your Research'.

Regarding the Titanicus Grand Master set...

GW wrote:The release will see a variety of different ways to get your hands on the new game, the ultimate one being the epic Grand Master Edition. This includes two(!) Warlord Titans, six Questoris Knights, a set of Adeptus Titanicus buildings and much more – including the rulebook, of course, plus Command Terminals for your Titans and Knights, Weapon cards, Mission cards, Stratagem cards, Battlefield Assets, templates and dice – literally everything you need to get started.

I'm sure I read somewhere that we were getting a couple of Reavers in the big set along with the Warlords and Knights. Has it been downsized or am I just remembering incorrectly?

Yes, but problem is, it's something that just a bit of well, every day logic tells you is possible or impossible...if for example you have wider blade than sheet, don't you hear that little woice called reason or logic telling you...you can't really put that sword in nor out. If your car doesn't have steering wheel, you won't really be able to turn it,lol, it kinda does make sense, right?

@Baronlveagh - At the risk of veering off-topic - true the rocket-propelled part is near recoil-less, but the conventional primer used to propel the round from the barrel before ignition of the rocket would produce recoil. The Gyrojet did not use a two-stage propulsion system, like the bolt-gun is stated to. Hence, a degree of recoil will be produced by firing a .75 Calibre round (Which, if you've fired anything approaching .300 Win Mag or .50 BMG, you'll appreciate is not... inconsiderable, shall we say ). As for weight, the boltgun is still requiring a strengthened chamber and barrel (Not to mention the action in the receiver, which must be strengthened against recoil/pressure stress) due to the initial firing - especially in sustained combat where heat would begin to warp lighter components. Furthermore, combat punishes weapons - so a stronger weapon is needed. Typically, this is going to mean heavier components.

Is it just me or does that Canoptek beast have two different weapons? Hopefully this means options, damn I'm so excited
