Thats 100% the slaanesh archer, you can see the baggy pants, single shoulder pat and twin tips of the bow from the art

That's a lot of... intriguing silhouettes

In order, dwarf referee, lumineth sorc, slaanesh archer (or lumineth), other referee (maybe goblin), and slaanesh lord.


Also they said :
Underworlds, Warcry, Blood Bowl and maybe a surprise or two along the way.

That's not lumineth, that's somethnig new for the Cypher Lords.

It’s defnitely the Lumineth leader. We’ve seen both his silhouette in the video, and that owl in mini and artwork.

I wonder if the reveals tomorrow would have been a lot larger, but were cut short by the Blood Bowl leaks. We already saw three or four teams leaked online, and WarCom had to damage control and preview them early

I think there's still room for a fairly big preview tomorrow. It just seems to be the Spiel-Essen preview moved to now rather than later.

Honestly, if I had to guess the biggest thing changing here? It's that there won't be a Warhammer Quest style preview. That's something that likely got hit hard by 'rona, as the cardstock stuff is produced in China.

There was a Warhammer Quest preview announced somewhere, or is it just some fan wishlist ?

Quite a lot of the rumour engine appear to be flesh eater court/ghouls. They already had a recent shadespire warband, are not due a new AoS book so unlikely to be new models for that and it would be odd for them to suddenly get a warcry warband with new sculpts. Ghouls (and possibly a vampire) as the bad guys in a new warhammer quest would make the most sense, as it has been awhile since the last aos WH quest was discontinued. The flintlock pistol rumour could be for a hero in the game too.

So it's just fan wishlist.

I would count more on Warcry expansions rather than a new fantasy Warhammer Quest game, so far.

A few of the things that people swear up and down to be Flesh Eater Court(which are the same faction as Ghouls) are more along the lines of the Vampire aesthetic established awhile back. We had a vampire that was more 'bestial' while still wearing full plate armor and wielding a greatsword for example.

Also worth mentioning that a faction getting tapped once for Underworlds does not necessarily mean the faction won't get tapped again. The warband for Underworlds(Shadespire was season 1, Nightvault was season 2, and we're out of Shyish and into Ghur[Realm of Beasts] now) was all Ghouls.

Fan wishlisting for the most part. They did say they aren't done with Warhammer Quest, just that our adventures in the Blackstone Fortress are done.

Besides, I don't think the cardboard is an issue linked to 'rona, since the new Warcry and Bloodbowl starters will have some as well. The terrain board are all cardboard in the end. Not even talking about Underworld (hello cards !).

And if there is another Warhammer Quest, it will be 40k again IMHO. Which is not Warhammer Quest, to me - it just has the name put next to it. But I don't expect anything soon about this.

And those three items would have been started to be in production at least a year ago for a launch this year.

Also, producing the cards for Underworlds isn't done in China. The boards are but not the cards.

If a new warhammer quest game gets announced I can't help but think it's only in response to Hasbros Heroquest getting so much love.

To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if the Heroquest announcement might mean a rethink on GWs part as to what they want their next warhammerquest to contain miniatures and gameplay wise.

*Not to say that a fantasy heroquest wasnt on the way- I'm a big proponent of the thought they already have one being worked on the wings. I'm not not sure they would announce it so soon after the 40k version got retired.

And speaking of the ghouls, if it were ghouls (though I’m more inclined in the vampire Underworlds option).

Bear in mind there is the AoS campaign narrative of books thing.
One could easily be centric on them and have a model (which could be one or several of these rumour engines all in it then the rest vamp or something else.), or even a new special unit (though less likely)

They're done with Blackstone, announcing new WHQ to milk the boardgame crowd with new DLC...i mean expansions would make sense with our without hasbro's little nostalgiabaiting. Especially since designing or even planning a release takes years, so if they show anything, it means they started work on it long before Hasbro announced their begstarter.

If they do announce a new Quest game today, I just hope they don't release expansions that require other expansions; especially ones that cost £65. Was going to throw caution to the wind and get BSF and Deadly Alliance together, but it said it required Escalation and had zero interest in that one.

Well that will depend on whether they have any minis to show.

If they want to be really cool, they'll announce a plastic Chaos Dwarf team for BB.

The email GW just sent out says they're covering Warcry, Underworlds, Blood Bowl and Kill Team today.

Yeah it’s posted a page or two back I think.
Or the first three.
Kill Team was the assumption from them saying they are covering the 41st millennium

This is a good thing to find out!

Those are nice referees, i like them

The elf has potential to be used as a scribe or something. The dwarf, not so much. Unless you convert the whistle into a pipe or something.

30 models in the box is great.
2 star players, 2 big guys, 2 refs on top of the teams.
When you see it all in a non fuzzy photo it is a good bundle.

But price, that’s the question, a lot more there, so a lot more cost..?

Varag looks like the great basis for a conversion for an Orc boss or a Ork Warboss.

It's funny, they make it like the leaks never happened. ^^

Nothing really new except the referees and game accessories. The true news are that the Spike! Magazine for Necromantic Teams is compatible with new rules.

Also in addition to the boxed set with two full teams (includes the heavies and star players); there's also a new issue of SPIKE (11) and two books which appear to combine stories from the legacy of Bloodbowl into single pubilcations with Death on the Pitch and the Blood Bowl Omnibus - the latter contains Blood Bowl, Dead Ball, Death Match, Rumble in the Jungle - which is basically the "Black Library ebook bundle" for Bloodbowl.

Release in November!

ALSO the Twitch just revealed that the two teams are pre-coloured plastic. All the teams are also in the book (Lizardmen also confirmed in the core book) from the main game with full stats and everything.

Photos from the community page

Well duh of course they ignore leaks.

Also main target for stream isn't those who have read leaks anyway

What team is alphabetically after Lizardmen, which Adam said he can’t say as it’s a spoiler?
Sure he said Necromantic, so is it between the two?
Or I filled that blank in, in my head..
