Are they finally doing AoS normal humans?

Or "normal". That remains to be seen.

But at least it looks like we're finally getting there.

That’s ‘Human Level People’ to you.

Didn't wee see rumors that Dawnbringer Crusades would be the new Cities of Sigmar book, at the start of AoS 3rd?

We did, but it also was talked about in the big main rulebook so not necessarily a big inside scoop lol.

Bits and Bobs look nice. This is awesome news!

"This isn't just the old world. It's definitely age of sigmar"

*shows images of bits that 100% would look at home in Warhammer fantasy*

Oh, iconography.
It... looks like old empire stuff (even though Eddie just said it isn't as I typed that).
Its still skulls and comets and Sigmar in a weird font.

Baroque and gothic... yay.


Whoops. Adam just slipped and asked if there would be non-humans in this Cities of Sigmar army.


Long running project like Sisters of Battle.


And Adam just directly compared it to his old Empire army. I'm glad the messaging on this is clear. Its totally not the AoS Empire replacement co-opting Cities of Sigmar, but it also entirely is. Well done.

Nice, I want to see new Empire crossbowmen, the old one looks horrendous, and none of the crossbows are cocked.

They like to write Sigmar on things, who’d have thunk it.

Looks like a collection of merchandise for Mortal Realms residents to collect while following Sigmar on his grand world tour, Michael Jackson style.

Seriously, that was painful. Just find someone who enjoys this stuff. They generally end up doing a good job presenting and you can tell they are actually enthusiastic.

I really wish that old empire proper could come back, the imperial dragon was just the coolest thing ever.

He's reading comments out of the chat.

Books books and books!

What if that silhouette is just an event model or one of the new Warhammer+ subscription mini options?

If it were a Warhammer+ mini, it would have been shown yesterday. Same with if it were an event mini.

Remember that there's not a Black Library/Media portion this year like we had last year. We just have Skirmish Games on Friday and Horus Heresy to go, once AoS finishes today.

Gentle reminder that people will start getting their Warhammer+ minis in 3 weeks fi they were already 40k app subscribers, so I dare say they'll need to reveal them soon so those subscribers aren't left without the option to pick next years ideally.

That's BS. I've been signed up forever but the ticker is telling me my mini is over 3 months away (pretty sure it's been saying 3 months for over 3 months now!)

And then people call them a shill and call for someone else "who enjoys this stuff".

Enjoying things does not make one a good presenter.

This is correct, have to be Subbed for a year to W+, meaning August is the first chance for the models.

This is probably the best presentation they have done in a couple of years, speaking about the amount of miniatures and stuff being shown. (Not just today, but this Warhammer Fest)

There's also not 15 minutes of empty banter in between each announcement.

But sounding bored certainly makes you a bad presenter.

This is incorrect, if you were a paid subscriber to the 40k app when they bundled it in, they shaved 3 months off, can confirm my friend gets his mini in a little over 19 days as per their site.

Yesterday's was. Today they yawned through the whole thing.
Except Eddie's odd digressions into things 'ripping up the meta'

Today feels really flat compared to yesterday.

Getting the Warhammer+ model three months early was a sign up incentive for people who at the time were already signed up to the 40k app. So some people should get the models soon, but not everyone.

That's a nice KO. Love his armor color

So... the miniature designers are now going to be directing character designs for the novels as well as the rules? That bodes poorly.

Nice new vampire - was in White Dwarf .

The presenters are just going oh...yeah....umm...yeah...like...its a Duardin right?

Its painful to listen to
