I've no doubt your name will be amongst it with complaints of lack of attention for npc races and how whatever marine stuff is shown will render the game pointless.

Apologies to Xenos etc (as I do genuinely support you all) but Chaos is the arch villain of 40k (hell, all Warhammer) so any competent designers shouldn't really leave it too long before giving them the updated treatment.

I'd say it's always been pretty clear who the real villain is.

Meh. People are always going to find something to get disappointed about. GW is great at being pedantic though--the last preview, "Shadow and Iron"? They were upfront about that not being 40k heavy...and people got upset about it.

Until they broke out "most exciting" on that tweet, I thought they'd done a good job of managing expectations for this preview - they just couldn't help themselves, though, could they?

I'm building up a healthy amount of outrage to be deployed tomorrow no matter what.

It's only the "most exciting Warhammer 40,000 preview since the launch of the new edition" this time, not the most exciting one in the history of the universe. Most exciting 40k preview since a few weeks ago isn't that high a bar; there is a reasonable chance it could be pretty accurate.

hype sells,

Why would they not say their announcements are exciting lol. you people are incredible

I think some are just dour because they come from Yorkshire (either in reality or in their heart). The continual rain, accent and human landscape creating a cloud of gloom over them that is hard to shake.

Yorkshire person, can confirm its rained once this week! I'm one of the less gakky about GW announcements though ironically.

Alright folks, we have 50 minutes until the preview starts!

Just a reminder:
It will go 'live' in 35 minutes, at 0845 Eastern...but that's them opening up the chat, starting up the stream and generally doing a 'Previously On...' style recap.

The actual new stuff will be at 0900 Eastern. I'll be updating the OP as stuff goes up on the Warhammer Community page for me to link here.

Hopefully I'll get to see that sweet, sweet Skitarii HQ!

You're right, they should have gone with 'this terribly dull, dreary preview will be the most skippable one we've ever put out! In fact, it's so dry and boring that all of our presenters plan to hang themselves afterwords out of sheer despair'.

Let's be real though, people on dakka would still complain about it being 'overhyped'.

Y'know social media folks are so into hyperbole, I mean they literally use hyperbole a million times before breakfast, that I sometimes find that understatement can be more effective since it's so novel.

"On Saturday we will have a perfectly adequate and serviceable preview of some products certain customers may find of interest."

I can see some Necron like thing and Eradicators

Teasers and boxes behind Eddie for someone with an absurd resolution.

10mins or so before the reveals start

Yeah, so, a proper Eradicator box, and a Necron thing, and something else.

See the frame around the vid? It has silhouettes I don’t recognise.

I think one might be Orikan updated?

I do hope we see more than just those three...

That would be ideal!

New Flayed Ones & Destroyers confirmed

Take a first look inside the new Space Marines and Necrons codexes for the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 as part of our latest online preview. As well as looking at the best codexes that we've ever made, you can also check out a new range of models for both armies, including updated Flayed Ones and Destroyers for the Necrons, a new Speeder for the Space Marines and much more.

My jaw literally dropped!

DESTROYER WRIATHS!!!

The Old Wraiths are back!!!

when you find yours can you get mine as well?

Man, adore all of those new Destroyers, that nanobot skull is gnarly.

New Flayed Ones!!!

New Crypteks.

And I have lots of old Wraiths, so now I can use them again.

And of course my sound isn't working...

The Necrons 'dex will release before the Marines by the sound of it?
