Blackstone Fortress out Nov. 24th.
Battleforces out Dec. 1st.
Chapter Approved out Dec. 15th.

Nothing else has really been teased or revealed except maybe Wrath & Rapture that could come out between now and 2019. Are we done for the year? Are there any events that might have seminars between now and January that I don't know about?

What do you guys think? What could GW try to squeeze into this last month and a half, or shall we all go and enjoy the holidays and come back when the year is over?

Yeah I don't think anything came out after CA last year.
I was hoping they'd be able to sneak GSC in before CA

I expect so for big releases, there's been an exclusive mini on either boxing day or christmas eve the past couple of years (I can't remember which day though).

Dont forget the vigilus weekender on november 24th-25th

Yep, I think after BSF and CA2018 pretty much as good as done.

2019 will most likely be kicking off with the generic CSM range update, if I had to guess. Probably around March / April.

Could be entirely wrong though.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that GSC will be jan. or Feb.

At first I thought that it would be Sisters at the front of 2019, but as it turns out they're on the tail end of the year instead, which DOES make sense, and validates the CA beta rules a lot more.

Beyond those two releases, I have NO idea what's next. I have very low hopes for new WE and EC releases, so I really doubt we'll see new models, much less new books for them.

I was really hoping they'd sneak a basic sorority troop box our with kill team rules so I could slowly build up an army ahead of the main release, but eh it wasn't a thing I thou b thought was likely.

My wallet is safe for christmas! Enjoy your 27 primaries marine box bundles, those must be selling reeeeally well.

It's possible the 2 nightvault warbands they have previewed could be released before Christmas.

Wrath and Rapture could also be in the lines for a release before Christmas. There's also the Necromunda Delaque and new Rulebook and Faction books to come out and I'd wager those two new books would certainly want to be out before Christmas.

Exodites and Squats fur sure!! Then Squat Pirates and TinBoyz + Rokkerz

Then they can bring back the Great Harlequin, add in the Harlequin Dreadnought and Benathai Familiars. Mimes and Master Mimes would be a nice touch.

Oh this isn't a wish list....gack its GW it will be more redundant stuff like chaos and imperials

Yeah, and they've already announced the Bloodbowl Champions of Death team, I imagine that would be the same week as Delaque. Last year they also released a BB almanac containing that years combined books, so again I wouldn't be surprised if we saw that for BB & Necro.

Also, didn't GW originally promise to have a single Sisters model out before Christmas this year as part of their big SoB reveal?

They sit for me in that "If GW does them and does them half as good as my imagination can dream up then I'm selling stuff to get them"

Adeptus titanicus, blood bowl, and necromunda are getting releases at the end of this month or first two weeks of december. 40k itself is likely done until next year.

Sisters early 2019 was never on cards. They only started working on spring in it. Less than a year? Lead times make sure that would be super hyper mega fast release...And of course would make CA beta rules pointless. Even summer release would basically have made CA rules basically pointless for getting any feedback from players.

I could see GW putting out 1 hero/character for Sisters of Battle in that time frame, but only 1. I can't see them releasing anything else not really having a reason too. Why push out models now when the rules are still in Beta and not fixed. Far better to release mainline models in the big launch event for Sisters alongside a full codex.

GW are very very strong in their policies about not stealing thunder from their own news and releases. Their attention to leaks is very strong and strict, so I'd doubt they'd rob their own thunder and start releasing Sisters models now. That said I fully expect to see more sisters artwork in the CA and other places - theyv'e clearly got the basic sisters and Penetant Engine built and I believe there was one or two more shown as models in the video stream from the last event.

Seems to me it's a perfect opportunity to ambush the GSC codex. It would be good marketing!

Was just about to comment the same. This weekend will be the last studio preview for the year so I'd imagine the next few months of releases will be outlined here.

Have a look into the old Harlie codex of Gav Thorpe.
It has contained Mimes and a Harlie Wraithlord. Not a bad idea.

Well, there's the Vigilus Weekender this weekend (24/25 Nov) at Warhammer World. And that includes a seminar from the The Studio.

At the moment, I think we're up to date with Seminar previews, barring Delaque. I mean, I may be overlooking something, but this could be a very exciting blank slate for them to fill in for us.

Though I'm going to predict first sight of the first Blackstone Fortress expansion. What that might actually be, I dunno!

Bit soon for the first expansion of Blackstone as its not even out yet. They could sneak Escher cats from a studio preview, the pets have been rather slow coming out of FW even though we saw the cats in a finished state months ago at another preview event.
