This was a rather interesting reveal session! Nothing stood out as particularily horrible.

And I will get new KillTeam, but also will get the Hvy Interecessors I've been waiting for anyways! Great stuff

I do hope we'll get the rules for the new sisters suit also for KT.. I'd love to start a lil sisters KillTeam with the flying girls and one suit, like pictured in that promo artwork in the reveal video.

Ecstatic for the new WQ - insta-buy. I do hope they provide stats for the Crimson Court Underworlds warband as immediate extra adversaries out of the box as well.

You want those hot new Heavy Intercessors?

Have a Kill Team boxed set you don't want to get them.

Ok so I want it all. No joke I want it all pretty much!!


New Killteam updating my Necrons
New AT Titan that looks super awesome
New DoK Battletome (which is coming in February along with Slaanesh and will both drain my wallet) - and finally Endless spells

New Warhammer Quest which looks super fun with the two preview models and is something I'm really going to have to buy into and not pass over like I did with Blackstone.



And those new Sisters of Battle and Lumineth make me want both armies in the future


YEP Super awesome preview!

The prior Quests were before they’d got the pattern down.
With the success of BSF. This is just the fantasy version.

I didn't hear anything about the new version particularly but Adam Troke was comparing it to BSF and talking about how it was really nice to be able to play it solo during lock down and Eddie mentioned how it's nice to have a cooperative game. Based on that I'm guessing it will be like Blackstone and can be Coop or Solo, but I don't think it's been confirmed.

Yeah save for the individual boxes that are going on sale soon after.... Plus considering most duel army boxed sets and such are often sold at discount; provided there's enough stock you'll get cheaper than retail Intercessors secondhand on ebay on the sprue or even just get the box and sell off the parts you don't want. I'm sure there will be a lot of necron and marine players swapping half sets of models from the box. So its not doom and gloom

No Orks again, and merely a tease of the Warhammer Quest. Kind of lame.

If the new WQ is more like Blastone Fortress and less like Shadows of Hammerhal I'll be happy. Was disappointed by Hammerhal after how great Silver Tower was.

I am impressed with that preview show. There were a number of things I am very interested in. Even the stuff I wasn't, I thought it looked really good. I think I want to work a little harder to clear off some painting projects to make room for some new stuff coming out.

Buy the box, sell off the necron half, terrain and rules, and you will end up getting the Hvy Interecessors cheaper than retail. Whats the big fuss about?

They already said it'll be a multipart sprue, so it'll have all the extra bits and weapon options as the separate boxes coming later. You'll also be able to customize the shoulderpads with a chapter upg sprue if thats your thing.

As previews go that was a pretty good one. Some really excellent things coming out for a lot of games. My only gripe is that the Lumineth showcase was frustrating as we actually only saw one model (as awesome as it was) I would have liked to see the rest of the Aelves as well especially the (not) Swordmasters

Two thumbs up from me overall!

I don't play or collect Sisters, so have no dog in that fight. Not a big fan of those new battlesuits, but they're not terrible either. Far away from Babycarrier/Centurion level of terribad!

The KT box is a nice one. Depending on price I might just get it, despite not collecting Necrons.

The new titan is an impressive monster, I just dread its price. I doubt I'll get the model anytime soon, but I love it.

I could not care less about the AoS reveals - but for those who like the respective armies: good stuff! I do like the look of the Endless Spells, but really have no use for them...

... in stark contrast to the WH:U vampires! I need at least two boxes, one for my VC army, one for actually playing WH:U with. Loving the set!

Same for the WHQ thing. We have seen only a little bit so far, and I already love it. I need it, yesterday!

Thank you GW for an anjoyable hour, looking forward to handing much cash to you soon!

So it looks like the Cursed City has it's own website and it confirms there are

6 Heroes for the Good Guys
5 Leaders for the Bad Guys

It also has a cool kind of interactive map where you can scope out various sections of the city (which I imagine will quest locations).

From the video it looks like we have:
Witch Hunter
Some sort of Sylvaneth/Wanderer Archer
Looks like a Kharadon Inventor or something
An Ogre

The Main Vampire
The Gravelord guy
Some sort of female vampire/boss of some sort
Armored Skeletons
Brigands or Vampire Thralls
Zombies that have chunks of earth/masonry attached

From the map there is also a section called "Gheistgale"
That mentions only the spectral dead will go near it, so I'm guessing some sort of Nighthaunt too?

Edit: Also a section mentioned being Bat-infested, so I imagine we will see some fell bats, bat swarms or some sort of varghulf type things.

It could also be a Kurnothi instead of a Wanderer.

The silhouette standing in for the heroes on the WHQ page matches the guy sitting on the throne at the start of the video. Both the sword and the fur on his left shoulder fit. So... is he a good or a bad guy?

Pretty nice mix of things today. Little bit of something for every system.

Price as always is going to be the biggest determining factor for me.

Cursed City will probably be my top priority. The preview text mentions a revised and refined rule system which gets me curious. I'd love to see a return to gaining loot and levels, but their mention of "refined" makes me think more streamlined and abstracted gameplay. At the very least I figure it'll build on what we saw with Blackstone Fortress, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

As silly as it is I really want the travel table or something similar to return.

Looking at the website, I'm wondering if the artwork of the people on the map represent some of the other bosses, since Gorslav is hanging out with them and they've all got their own shields that seem to represent one of the locations you can visit.

Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!

It says the Witcher hunter is 1/8 if you read his description. That would make it the same as Blackstone fortress.

Unlikely. Separate kits after kt. When you expect kt to be on sale?

Hard to tell as the character is crouched and all we can really see are the upper thighs, which are normal for the kurnothi and a human/aelf. With the pose the reverse joint hind leg (or rather raised heel) are going to be hidden from view. If it is from the woods then Kurnothi would fit with GW's current asthetic design direction. Heck I could see Wanderers being slowly morphed/replaced with them as a Sylvanth addition might like how they are twisting High Elves into Lumineth.

Phew that was a lot of good stuff The Warmaster Titan and the new WHQ being IMO the standouts.

Cursed City seems to me like it has a lot more potential for expanding on and drawing from the "main" AoS line than Blackstone did for 40k. The Underworlds warbands would also be a great source of alternate Heroes.

I am kinda shocked that there is going to be so many new Lumineth kits out soon.
