Definitely a question, not a statement,

But between the boxed set coming soon, and this? Could be we’re getting a heck of a reveal from Nova!

Should’ve cited the source. 40k FB Page.

I don't get it. How does this indicate it's a new codex? I can see it just hype for the new Kill Team boxset coming out but a codex? I don't see it.

Different RT name. Different background.

Definitely not the boxed game. Looking at Overkill, such boxed games have precedent for being early access to new 40k armies.

Christmas campaign? Akin to Malign Portents, I'd guess on the arrival of a new space hulk, that has something exceptional at it's core.

Were any of the Blackstones merely 'lost'?

If there's a new Blackstone Fortress maybe it will be part of an announcement for a new Battlefleet Gothic? Then again, wasn't that also supposed to be set during 30k or am I getting that confused with Titanicus?

The buggy reboot doesn't bother me though. To me they still seem like buggies, and orks aren't uniform and aren't overly particular about naming conventions. Letting Striking Scorpions or Khorne Bersekers or SM Devestators sit neglected in favor of something new and then eventually axing them would make me sad though.

Um, you know Devastators have one of the most recent sprues...?

I didn't know that. I probably shouldn't have used them as an example, but my point was more to mention iconic units that I would not like to see be replaced with something similar in function but definitely different in terms of lore.

Of course that is something that is far from garaunteed. It cocerns me, but there's a good chance it won't happen.

Devastators aren't just a recent sprue, they're a recent sprue that came not long after another recent sprue.

It was literally redone just to add Grav-Cannons.

So we’re looking at a 2am start under BST?

Not necessarily. The Games Workshop Preview Event is from 7:30 to 9:00 EDT tonight. That puts it at 12:30 to 2:00 BST. It all depends if the previews go up during the event or if they wait until it wraps up.

Pete Foley said they'll go up after the event--but maybe not immediately, depending on how long the Q&A runs.

Worth mentioning they also put up a similar teaser for Shadespire.

Spoiler:

Just to add to this, it’s not Shadespire.
It’s the new Warhammer: Underworlds.

Minor difference I know, but Shadespire was always a subtitle as it were, it’s only gamers that have been Calling the game that. Really people should be saying they are playing Underworlds (the game system).
This is like a Season 2 I guess you could say..

Believe you me, I understand the difference. But to most people looking in they'll likely just know it as "Shadespire".

And yeah, the new sprue is sweet. I had to buy a new sprue when a commission painter lost my models, but it mean the I got the new, cooler looking Devs


On Topic; it’s gone 12:30, why isn’t anyone posting the news onto Dakota Live

Very true, I gave up trying to explain it to the group I play with lol.
Excited to see what new war bands and such come from it, just for a modelling perspective to paint (and because of the Hachette Conquest thing I’ve got lots of blue paint, which I don’t use, so I want something new to paint in a blue scheme )

Blackstone Fortress seems likely to me, but it could be anything...

Forgeworld haven't put out many models recently because they have been building a 28mm scale Blackstone fortress the size of a small apartment.

When I did the math on a 28mm ork krooza (based on wiki numbers, which might not have been accurate) it was the size of a very large building. I'm talking like a hospital or casino. Kroozas aren't even that big compared to the really big ships in the 40k universe.

(Like I said the numbers might not have been accurate and I might not have done the math right.)

I heard someone had a leaked screenshot of the price for it.

It was kinda weird, for the price in USD it said "Your entire GDP, but it will get to you 5 days faster!"
