I think, anyway. Looks Lascannon-y.

I dont see it. Which one has the new weapon? They both look like the melta lance and chainsword to me.

Neither those are both thermal spears,

Well that sucks. I was trying to keep my expectations low, but not a thing about Knights? Guess I'll just have to console myself with all the pics of those sweet Titanicus models

So there was no new reveals at all regarding anything today? How disappointing. I certainly expected some hefty 40K reveals considering how much AOS stuff they showed yesterday.

Big event that they're doing themselves is going to be dominated by the new edition of Age of Sigmar and specialist games. I expect we'll a little more 40K at the Games Expo at the beginning of June we're they're doing a big Q&A around the same time the Knight book is expected.

Once we've had the Knights, think that just leaves Orks, Wolves and Genestealer cults to do along with the plan for what happens next for 40K.

And SoB (due 2019 obviously), Inquisition, Assassins, which could be anything from 1 to 3 codexes.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/05/13/coming-soon-they-came-from-the-webway/ No great shock, but Harlies are up for pre order next weekend. So Knights are a 26th of May and 2nd of June release at the earliest. Maybe later if there is a specialist games or AoS week after the space elf ninjas.

Well this is dissappointing, but i'm having to sell all my imperial guard for car repairs anyway so....

So nothing on the new Knights?

That's a shame...

AoS is getting a new starter set and two battletomes in June. It looks like the imperial Knights will not arrive until July. I definitely think we will see their preview at the games expo on June 3Rd.

Yeah, that is a bit frustrating. I am holding out on assembling my Armigers until I know for sure that there won't be other arm options for them.

Are magnets an option for you? They really are godsends for when Im undecided about stuff.

Option, yes. But it affects the stability of the model. And if there is a weapon option that I would prefer to the Lance and Chainsword, I would rather build the kit with those in place and not worry about the lackluster current weapons.

Maybe you prefer now but for what reason? If for rules then you can bet money that sooner or later GW changes rules so that previously good weapon stinks and previously bad rules. That's what GW does. Deliberately shuffle meta around so that people are forced to buy more models.

If you don't magnetize your weapons you can bet your house that sooner or later your build is obsolete in terms of competivity.

Maybe there's news this weekend in london grand tournament.

There are some semminars

Or GW was saving news about knight for community website? Or they will have nothing new to post in community for month.

I doubt that, AOS 2.0 is coming next month as well, so plenty of hype surrounding that one for sure.

Which has already started. If we get a faction focus for every mini faction in Age of Sigmar, they have plenty of material for the coming weeks.

That won't get in the way of the eventual Knight articles, but I wouldn't hope for an increase in such articles just because they got nothing at Warhammer Fest.

Stability is not an issue if you use the correct sized magnets. The Armigers were easy to magnetize.

I am not just talking rules, I think the current weapons load out LOOKS like gak too. I will probably magnetize them though.

I still consider the french WarFo release rumor HorticulusDK quoted earlier this year to be accurate. It said IKs around August.

Here is a screenshot (from Tabletopwelt.de)


This may sound far away but seeing how full GW/FWs release plan for the next months already is and how early they now preview product (RT late 2018) I don't feel this is unlikely. I agree though that we might see more of the new IK stuff at one of the next events GW attends

That rumour says GorkaMorka though. So we're getting Adeptus Titanicus, GorkaMorka, AND Rogue Trader all in the second half of this year, right after Kill Team? Even if the latter two are self-contained DW:OK affairs, that seems far-fetched.

That one has Kill Team before AoS 2nd ed. How realistic is that?

I mean going off of last year's 40k new edition schedule, it's conceivable that we get an AoS starter box in June, then Sigmarine multi-part kits until or into August, then try and squeeze at least two weeks of Knight releases, Space Wolves, House Cawdor and Adeptus Titanicus into August, have GorkaMorka in September and pick up from there with Nighthaunt multi-part plastics until November, but...

Doesn't that seem like an awfully crowded August?

The May section is already wrong, it completely skips June and July, and we already know Adeptus Titanicus is the August specialist games release.
Unless this GorkaMorka is a Studio release somehow, I doubt it.

Far more likely to just be the Ork codex. Especially as December is pretty much always big bundle releases and “gift ideas”

In fairness, with a new edition of AoS due out in June, I wouldn't expect there to be any 40k releases in June or July of significant note and the rumor seems to deal with only 40k. However, I also can't see GW announcing a Knights codex in March and waiting 5 months to release it when the others mentioned are out in 2 months. Releasing the Knights alongside Adeptus Titanicus also seems too iffy; I'd not be surprised at all to learn that there's a major overlap in customer base. Selling "the most expensive starter GW has done" the same month as a big, new expensive kit seems likely to result in competing with themselves, which isn't outside of the realm of possibility but would be particularly daft.

I suspect that Knights kick off June with the new edition of AoS to close out the month and cover July. Nothing other than a guess though.

Space Elf Ninjas? What are these?

GorkaMorka seems suspicious to me. I don't think it will be a 2018 release, I mean GW hasn't even confirmed it's even real.

Hmmm, on one hand, Spikeybits, on the other hand, Spkieybits isn't wrong all the time anymore.

If they give Armigers the ability to deal with hordes, they might be okay.

I feel like I should have agent Mulder's "I want to believe" poster for IK rumours at this point Ever since the rumours in the Bolter and Chainsword thread they have just sounded to good to be true, but then the Armiger and Castellan were confirmed....
If they are true it sounds like the character build could be a freeblade. IIRC there are no currently known official IK houses with a wolf motif.
