Just imagine how great it would be if they introduced a Xenos race in to Adeptus Titanicus, Orks or Eldar would fit the 30K timeline.

I'd die if they merged Titanicus into an Epic variant that used the AI models as well. It will never happen, but a guy can dream.

I could see it happening slowly like that. The newer Warmaster titan and I think the Nemesis titan had AA guns on their shoulders, so that could be a start. Having an allied air force would be more effective (I'd think) than having ground troops as the planes could scout ahead easier than ground craft.

I'm going to guess that Knights and Chaos Knights will be a paired release codex wise, with a new edition of Knight Renegade Box that swaps out one Imperial Knight kit for the new Chaos Questoris kit, which will be box locked for a few months.

It's definitely for IK. The image is zoomed in on a House Terryn crest.

Seeing beastmen got WD update right now odds are nearly zero for book for them for now. There's factions with no update. If they were going to release book for beast in summer they would be extremely unlikely to say the least have WD update just before it. Either WD update would have been lot earlier or skaven or something would have got WD update instead.

Ah, yes. You're right. I forgot about that.

That takes Beastmen out of play, sadly. They could use a big update.

Whatever happened to that beastmen vs forest goblin boxset rumor? A lot of rumor engines look very jabberslythe-y which sort of lends some credence

Generally agreed, however eventually they will have to "cut over" from factions that have got WD updates to receiving new Battletomes. Also. Crusher Stampede is fairly recent (~3 months?) and getting a new book within the next 30 days or so it seems.

Yes. Eventually. But with 8 factions left?

Rumours are rumours. Rumours say skaven have been leaked to stores for pulling stock for repackaging in summer. That indicates them(and sylvaneth, also repack) as summer.

Well if there are more books 2nd half(feels odd there wouldn't be) every faction could get easily some update this year and then room for wd to book　updates.　in theory you could have gits as last book before wd updates get update and beast as first of those and it would fit. But rumour is rumour and haven"' seen rumour that for example predicted dok/nighthaunt in spring.

30 minute warning people!

Technically 26 minutes now, but still...

That's a lot of dead Beakies.

Hmm... maybe they are showing off the new HH box.

Some teaser silhouettes for funsies.

Oh great this is tonight? I suppose I picked a good night for midweek drinking alone

Chaos knight confirmed.
Second pic looks to be underworld zombie

I was so sad when I checked an hour ago, and saw that the reveal was at 10 and not 9 as I thought :(

Knight
Norse
FrakenUndead
Ash Wastes
[AoS]

And then HH not included in the banner as that's the big surprise.

People in the chat are going "Oh! It'll be more platic aspects!" "Def going to be Angron/World Eaters!". Have these people never watched a GW slow-motion preview before?

Huh. Thought this was Saturday. Well, since I don't work tomorrow anyway...

Lot of Blood Bowl trivia in the pre-stream quiz.

Ha! They really are streaming from the UK at 2am.
Gotta really crank the volume up though.


-Unsurprisingly, its an hour show. That's... about it so far.

They're in UK studio.

They cleaned out all the sewage months ago. I hope...

Waffle, waffle, waffle...

BUGGOS

Those are bloody delightful!

Ohh... terrain...

Of course Orlocks get more stuff that I’ll need to get..

Bugs! Bikes! Terrain! Models!
Orlock vs Ash Wasters (no surprise after the preview preview video).

10 man gang, 2x5 like the rest.
Not sure how many bugs or bikes in those boxes. Possibly four from the picture.
Orlocks get a pair(?) of quads with a chair gunner. Quads are nice, riders... eh.

That's a nice huge box.

Ash Wastes stuff looks cool, but the Nomads look like a nightmare to paint.

That quad bike is giving me anxiety... the moment they hit a bump, it's going over backwards.

Giant fleas are cool, though. And the terrain is gorgeous.

I'll pass on the gang and the terrain. I might buy the flea riders.

Love it! Bugs look fantastic, buggies look great, terrain looks fantastic!

Yeah, sold.
2 10 man gangs, 4 bug riders, 2 quads, 2 elevated houses with attached platforms and catwalks.

I can see the rumor engine antenna array, I think

This solves a lot of rumor engines. Tires, the luggage, etc.

Great equatorial waste immediately _south_ of hive Primus. Any Necromunda lore folks can expand on that. (Puts it away from the GSC infected hive, doesn't it?)

"New game, but existing necromunda things fit in it/have a place"

It would be really cool to have complete rules in the rulebook for the Ash Wastes, as opposed to them scattered across a hundred books like they currently are. Would be nice to have at least starter lists for the house gangs in the book too.
