The Hype Party Central here? When do we think we'll get anything?

Today. Tomorrow. Someday.

I don't know, I'm just constantly hitting refresh.

May want to go easy on your refresh button there.

The first seminar in the schedule linked above is before noon in Nevada, so I wouldn't expect anything before midnight in Europe. And probably a Warhammer Community article no sooner than tomorrow.

That's a shame, so really news coming tomorrow for us, not today, ah well.

Probably will see Idoneth and maybe a hint at AoS 2

15:00 PM in Las Vegas today would be something like 23:00 in Europe, so if GW shows something, it will be tonight around midnight, or tomorrow morning...

Yeah, don't listen to me. I occasionally mix up American times. Horticulus is a more accurate. I just checked and they're using daylight saving time already, so there's a gap of 8 hours for Europe and 7 hours for Britain, so we might see something in the evening.

That said, I maintain Americans living in the past is totally unhelpful. We should have all trade shows happen in Australia or Japan so we'd wake up and read news from the future first thing in the morning. But alas...

The first seminar should be starting about right now. But seeing as how GW hasn't hyped this up much i'm honestly not expecting much...it's been too quiet.

Yeah, I wonder if the sigmar day being cancelled is going to affect this. I'd still think they'd rather refund and show at a major event the new stuff instead of waiting until they have their sigmar day but who knows.

Yeah, they are more hyping for Adepticon than GAMA, but 1. thankfully Adepticon is close enough, and 2. there is no player / consumer attendees at GAMA, it's only for other business.

And here https://www.facebook.com/events/352454521933525/ GW says "GAMA is one of the world’s premier board gaming and tabletop trade shows, bringing together manufacturers and designers from around the world - and this year, Games Workshop will be taking this opportunity to make some major reveals. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled on Warhammer Community and the Warhammer TV, Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000 Facebook pages for some exciting announcements on March 12th-March 16th."



And the "reveal" seminar (trade show) seems to be this afternoon, starting around 15:00 in Las Vegas, so around 23:00 for us. I'll be waiting until then.

*grabby hands*

Man I hope we see the Idoneth

All this hype, more like Idometh Deepkin.

May the Emperor bless us with sharks and Atlantians this day.

Yeah nothing but dead silence from the first seminar, next one is in a couple hours. Setting expectations low is a good idea.

Good, excellent even, my wallet deserves a break after the amazing DoK releases.

It's interesting that there is literally nothing. I searched through Twitter to see anyone giving thoughts or comments or any kind of critique about the seminar...nada.

Reveals should be the next one.

It’s quite possible they’ve asked attendees not to share owt until then.

It's 14:40 in Reno. The next GW seminar starts at 15:00.

GW usually puts their preview / articles the moment their shows start...

When they revealed the KO stuff last year was that the first day they did seminars or the last day? The seminar should have been going on for the past 43 minutes and still nothing.

Last year's reveals were : Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday (yeah...)

I will wait till five past midnight then

New edirion of AoS based on current 40K rules would be welcome. AoS has improved a lot since its inception, but lacklustre core rules are holding it back.

Should have used Lord of the Ring rules.

I always thought that AOS was more based on the LOTR (and 40k) ruleset (at least than WFB).

What is sure anyway is that 40k 8th is 90% AOS post GHB's child

40k 8th is a little more restrictive (like shooting in combat), and have some "rests" of 40k 7th, but after that... it follows AOS structure and core concepts.

40K 8th is what AoS should have been. It doesn't have the crazy random initiative, Strength and Toughness are retained, and there is no wound spilling outside the mortal wounds (lack of the latter two removes massive amount of tactical depth in AoS.) Also, no character sniping. If AoS 2 would be based on 8th edition 40K I'd be very pleased. )

From Twitter 12 minutes ago.

[Edit] Hrmm..

[Edit 2] Ok, there we go

Any more info?

That's the first shot I've seen on Twitter for anything GW related, since it just started.

Just use this.. #gamatradeshow

In your Twitter search and it should pull anything of note from the show.

Or hunt your own, like Geek and Sundry, See it Played, BGG, Dice Tower, etc..

Right when my lunch ends? Weak!!!

Don't say that out loud. Some people will kill you if you even dare to say that double-turn is a super random and not-fun mechanic!

Just push the initiative roll to the start of round three (instead of two), then both sides get something.

Nah, dump it entirely. And add in not being able to snipe characters.

I'd like to see Strength and Toughness come back, but that would require a full re-vamp of the game, due to needing to update EVERY unit's warscroll.

The synergy auras are too powerful for 40k level protection. Maybe a mid point of some kind.

Seems no major reveals this time. Hope they make an announcement at Adepticon

Wait so two gw seminars to essentially say "nah guys we have nothing"?
