I'd wager nothing because 90% of the HH range is often out of stock.

Maybe they're going to stealth drop the new edition like Bethesda just did with Oblivion.

Only concrete evidence we have is that transfer sheet really, if that’s even evidence.

When’s the next likely major GW reveal segment?

UK Games Expo (UKGE) is Fri 30 May - 1 Jun, but I think it's been a while since GW showed off anything there.

The US Open has Dallas May 22nd – 25th & Tacoma July 17th – 20th. AoS was announced at Dallas last year, with a general preview the week after (WarCom link).

A preview for the Dallas Open (22-23 May) has already been confirmed.

I mean unless it happens or expressly tell us it isn't, then it's not put to rest until after the summer.

My speculation?

They may be half right. As in, there may be a new boxed set coming (highly likely). And it may contain an updated rulebook.

But, rather than being a new edition, it’s a Necromunda style “and this one has all the existing FAQ and Errata changes printed” updated rulebook. (Possible, but not nailing my colours to that mast).

Well, the Necromunda rulebook did make a few changes to rules, but yeah it was pretty much that. And I would be just fine with that for HH too. Just holding out for the set with Mk VI armour and a Landraider Proteus.

You can buy both of those things now.

They didn't even bother attending last year, and I don't think they're there this year.

angry grumbling

They've completely withdrawn from doing UK events now. Both their own and those organised by others.

Its very odd.

I feel like GW lost a bunch of their event staff over Covid and have just never replaced it. We also saw their audio dramas vanish as well.
At the same time we've seen GW's output grow significantly over that time period. It could be something as simple as events were done as a side task to regular staff work and with those other areas doing so much the staff just don't have the free time to properly setup for events; and there's no real pressure/room in the budget ot hire people to do events and nothing but events.

Whilst odd, it hardly matters. Everything is streamed on twitch and posted to their website simultaneously with the exact same info. The only difference with the US events is that for people on this side of the Atlantic were mostly sleeping when the events happen at silly o'clock in the morning. If they did any real Q and A then I could see that being relevant, but not with their current approach.

It does matter. The events were really enjoyable.

IIRC, events that are UK based are often weekends and it's staff from the head office that get used for it.

Company that I used to work for did the same thing. You'd get one person from the comms team then people would get the opportunity to swap a work day for doing an event instead or just work an extra day.

I wouldn't be surprised if there just isn't the drive for people to volunteer for this sort of thing. It often means taking a weekend day to work that isn't your job.

I think we got our wires crossed. I understand that the old style games days were fantastic. Good access to the devs, artists, sculptors, cosplay, golden daemon, previews, participation games, etc. I was just responding in regards to the previous few posts which had been about possible rumors of a new HH have edition and when they might be previewed.

The sort of events that GW does their preview shows at aren't really like the old games days wherever they're held. They're largely tacked on to other peoples' conventions/ tournaments.

I whole heartedly agree that more events should be like the old games days and GW should put a bit more effort in to them.

Well - I think I'm going to make today a Heresy Thursday and use the War Drakes of Rhûn as Militia Caimans...

Ooh, very nice.
When are these supposed to release?

made of Forge World resin and will be released in due course.

So who knows? Some of the 'War of the Rohirrim' models were previewed 4+ months ago and still aren't out.

Got this email today from a popular designer, first takedown from him that I can remember he's usually good at keeping his stuff up

It's that time of year again when GW's ip layer needs to pad his performance review and goes apegak on Cults.

Another silent Thursday…

Oh damn it is, this week really flew by me

I can buy either of those things. I can't buy both of them in a single box with the rules & extra crap.

Looks like we're getting a second helping of "nothing".

Sometimes the best news is no news... except in this case.

re:new edition, part of me wonders if GW saw the response to the rumor and decided to scale back their plans from it

predicated on the idea that the rumor was ever real, and also won't be real in the future, of course, but it makes me wonder since the general response isn't especially positive, and has a lot of hostility
