It’s actually a rather good card game that pokes fun at role playing by trying to be the first player to reach level 20, all while stabbing the rest of the “ party” (the other players) in the back. Made by Steve Jackson games.

There are the lightning gheists or whatever they're called. There was a short story with one being slapped around by a Sacrosanct guy.
Never got my hands on the C'tan shard bits to build one.

Well, Blackstone Fortress expansion is cool. It's nice to see more support for the game (though I hope this expansion is less than 60 USD for 2 models - 30 USD sounds much more palatable.). The models are nice too.
Forbidden Power told us exactly.......nothing? Why even have a reveal. It's basically just hinting we are getting more Stormcast....though these are the "tough anti-hero Stormcast." Yawn.....
....and another Munchkin game for another franchise......boring day for sure.
Hopefully tomorrow we will see some of the cool new Chaos stuff, learn about what Warcry is, preview a KT expansion with new minis or a new faction.....or really just anything interesting.

The description of it makes me think of nothing like that. It seems to, as someone else said, be Malign Portents v2. Story progression and abilities for everyone(huzzah!), along with new missions and gameplay stuff.

I bet itll be more like 45.
Agree on the Stormcast. Good lord, GW. God forbid you make multiple appealing factions that aren't stormcast or khorne.
They already showed us the Elites expansion for Kill Team. Doubt they will reveal anything else for that.
I could definitely see them previewing more of the Chaos stuff that's coming. Maybe confirm Terminators at the very least.
It is a tedious and annoying card game which is supposed to be humorous.
I don't like it either but quite a few people do.

Really grinding the Sigmarines down past the bare nub.
AoS Munchkin is... not the worst idea I've ever seen, but it will depend on the art, and how much of the humor is tongue in cheek and not pointed.
But not personally something I'm terribly interested in.
Hope there is something interesting tomorrow, so far its been nothing to get excited about.
Funny to hear that after years and years of people hoping for an Inq28/Inquisimunda type game, GW basically gives us that with so many of the Blackstone Fortress models, and it's immediately shot down upon reception.
Just the existence of Rogue Traders, minor Xenos species, Traitor Guard, Renegade Ogryns and the like, all in plastic, was unthinkable less than a year ago. Now we have it and people still piss and moan. The stuff we're getting in the last year is the cumulative wishlists of this forum spanning a decade or more and now that we have it, it's met with a shrug at best.

Actually the Age of Sigmar Munchkin is a new announcement (unless I missed something). The announcement at GenCon last year was for the Warhammer 40,000 Munchkin...

Really like the two models from the BSF expansion, but must agree that this expansion is a bit underwhelming. Really needed some chaff to go with them cause as is, it seems incomplete

When they do something with the models, I'll get excited. A real inquisitor type game... well, that would depend on them doing one, and if it was any good (which inquisitor wasn't).
BSF was a good starting point for traitor guard with a touch of support, but the way they're expanding it isn't.
If it turns out to be the fore-runner of a non-marine chaos renegades army, I'll care a lot more. As is, BSF amounts to a squad and a half of variant cultists, and a couple proxies.
And a handful of cool one-off models to paint, that don't have much use.

The recent pricing has been kinda lame, I for one am excited to get more traitor guard stuff. I'm waiting on a bunch of guard from BSF and want more to supplement my shadowspear chaos marines.

What price has been announced for Traitor Command?
Maybe you should pay attentions to the reasons for the pissing and moaning.
Well the reasons seem to shift back and forth regardless of what's released so it's hard to keep track of what is actually a problem and what's just the hobby of being outraged by anything GW.

But that would go against his schtick, which is to defend GW at all time
Funny coming from the guys who's schtick is attack the poster rather than the content at all times.

Ah c'mon! You're selling yourself short. The rest of us can keep up, so I have to presume you can too!

I could definitely see them previewing more of the Chaos stuff that's coming. Maybe confirm Terminators at the very least.
I could get behind 45 if there are lots of game content aside from the few minis and the couple cards previewed.
Stormcast are neat, but are way too overdone, they already have more options than pretty much any two factions combined. It's kind of sad that GW might do a new Stormcast release when their last non-Stormcast (new) armies Gloomspite Gitz, Deepkin, and Nighthaunt have all been really unique and awesome. I'd love to see more stuff like that. I'm hoping Forbidden Power is just an expansion book with maybe some new endless spells.
Yeah, we probably won't get anything more for KT. Kind of a bummer because I was hoping they would announce something interesting (or even a combined rulebook with the core rules, HQs, and Elites or what not).
I would be happy to see the new Terminators previewed. I bet they will look fantastic.

That's a good point.....don't know why I hadn't considered that. My money is at Adepticon is when we'll see the Warcry reveal.
Review of the reveals so far.
Haflings. Not my game but some fantastic models 9/10
Killteam elites. Adds more to the game but not super exciting. 6/10
Kal and scabs. Decent sculpts but I would prefer something new 6/10
Blackstone expansion. Looks pretty thin on content 4/10
Munchkin OK I guess 5/10
Forbidden Power. A total waste of a reveal. Come back when you are actually ready to talk about your product. 0/10
I hope we see something cool tomorrow but the reveals so far haven't exactly got me hyped.
Overread wrote: Forbidden power sounds like the Malign Sorcery book 2 (ergo more paperwork side of things - spells and abilities update). Though its impossible to say since - its just an announcement of a name. So we now have Warcry and Forbidden Powers.
Kind of a lame launch to say "NOTHING" about what its really entailing..
We already heard mention of 'Forbidden Power' at the Las Vegas Open, so this is really less than nothing
GW, you are not Marvel! One teaser is fine, two ISN'T!
Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

Why don't you spell it out for me? I'm sure you can share a well reasoned, objective argument. You haven't yet, but I'm sure you can if you have one!
