If anybody there is under an NDA it's the staff and the people that do professional photographs for the organizer etc., i don't think an NDA for a general convention audience is even enforceable. If they did seperate entry for the Seminar and made you sign a form then maybe, idk.

But it does not really matter, time zones are just a fact of life and in this case it is literally impossible to find a time slot that pleases everybody around the world.

I was being a bit facetious, they won't want their big reveals spoiling with hushed blurry phone shots and 2nd hand info because they chose to put it up the next day. Likewise they won't want to ruin the exclusivity of attending the event in the flesh. Simple answer is they do what they're doing and people stop moaning and just be happy they can wake up at the normal time they do and see that there's a slew of new stuff for them.

Eh, considering most of us agree that the reveal stream isn't worth watching, you're probably better off being asleep at the time and read the articles after you wake up.

Anyway, since this isn't actually the Adepticon thread, what are the odds that the second teaser gif should have gone up next Monday? Start this Monday with one side in focus, shift focus to the other side next Monday, then have a big announcement at Adepticon and actual information on 10th ed at Warhammer Fest.

At my location the Stream will start at 4am, you can bet your ass that i'll be fast asleep

Yeah, but don't you think it would make more sense to please your two biggest markets instead of... ::checks notes:: ...Japan and Australia?

**NAVARRO**

I think all phones should be destroyed, damn plague.
As for the unhealthy comment, rise and shine dudes the day starts early and so should we! Specially when plastic crack is involved.

Seriously thought of all things to complain about

Personally, i'd like for this useless discussion to be over

Where did this new image come from?

The video(really more of a GIF) was uploaded to YouTube. Usually they hide these things until ready to reveal, but if someone is quick enough they can usually get the video or a link to it before it gets hidden.

In this case, the following image was the video:

Thanks.

I'm starting to think that these teasers are for the pending release of Space Marine 2 and have little to nothing to do with 10th edition.

Could you repeat that in a bizzare yorkshire accent please?

**zend**

That would only make sense if the game hadn’t been revealed already and they didn’t want you to figure out it’s Space Marine II right away.

There’s no sense in using cruddy flash animations to hype up a game you already revealed and hyped up, when further advertisements for the game can be done using the game’s engine/renders/official artwork that you already paid for.

Is the Sororitas kit the full one?

Just no. The game's been revealed and hyped; and if it were for the game, they wouldn't include a Terminator.

I don't think those are the Army Box models.

General question.

I've been tempted by Thousand Sons as a painting project for a while. Is that set worth dipping into?

Yes. Rubrics are pretty darn good (especially with Warpflamers!) and Thousand Sons Spawn are frickin' awesome.

Correct. Those are the full multipart kits for Repentia, Sisters, Celestians and Canoness.

**The Phazer**

That Sisters box is quite good, given they're the full kits. Compliments the Army Box models from the Combat Patrol.

(GW, I really do think most of these Boarding Patrol boxes would be quite good as something other than a splash release that lasts twenty minutes?)

**MajorWesJanson**

If the custodes had the blade champion instead of trajan, I would pick it up. Custodes need a generic shield captain clampack of some sort.

Sisters boarding patrol seems like a good addition to my pile of boxes of future sisters army.

Good time to sleep and check all at once.

But lol at entitlement of people. Others pay to get to see seminar and gw should devalue that for sake of entitled whiners. Lol. Timn is always bad for somebody. Uk friendly time zones are bad for others. Deal with it. Don't act like a baby and demand every preview suited to you. Or pay for preview like people at adepticons are doing.

And if billicus thinks us has only fraction of target group he needs to go back to math school.

"Timed for after an event-only seminar so the attendees don't ruin the reveals with phone pictures" as has been sagely explained to me for questioning the incredibly dumb timing. Why those people can't be trusted not to spoil things when they're already getting a first look, or why they can't just collect phones during the seminar, or why the stream and the seminar can't be at the same time or both be at a more sensible time, who can say. We're not supposed to ask

1) People love to be the person in the know. They'll repost rumors from other sites just to be the "first" to do it.
2) Collecting phones is a huge pain in the ass and it's the venue that has to do it, which would require more money and staff.
3) People live in different time zones. Putting the show at 10 means the west coast is seeing it at 7. This an event in the US, after all. If you want reveals to happen at an event in the UK then get a big enough one that falls far enough from the others and convince GW.

This is a perk for attendees to draw more people to attend. People at the venue are participating in other activities during the day.

**drbored**

Plus, by waiting, you can absorb all the information in about 10 minutes, versus the 60 minutes of waffling that the presenters go on.

**Irbis**

It's always amazing how cheap and scroogy every single Custode box looks. Not only it's always the same infantry unit (when the bathrobe Custodes cost the same and would increase the appeal by a lot by not being endless repeat) but the 'value' is always below other faction boxes. A whole 9 models, would it kill GW to include another character or 6 termies at least?

Yeah, this. Pointless bla bla when everyone wants to see new minis.

Why is any of that GW's problem though? Such that they should completely goof up important product reveals for it? Are the Adepticon organisers paying GW?

Once again i ask you nicely to keep this discussion out of this thread. If you absolutely have to have it, go to the Adepticon thread.

And you need to go back to "reading school" because I said a fraction of the audience are *at Adepticon*, not "in the US". Also math school / reading school are just school for what that's worth. It isn't entitled whining, I never watch the UK streams either, I just think it's a dumb move for GW to announce products when most of the market for those products are asleep / adapt their schedule to cater for a tiny group of people at Adepticon. Call me a baby if you like, from my POV you seem to be misconstruing the point out of a sense of defensiveness, but personal attacks are beneath me so I won't go there

I think if people reply to me I have the right of reply unless a mod steps in.

As i said, i am asking nicely, not giving you orders.

To be frank, that's my problem with this whole topic: 5% news and 95% 'rumours'.

Bilicus at least provides a slightly more entertaining strain of 'pointless discussion'.

Not altogether interested in the new photos this time. The thousand sons are a nice shade of turquoise, I guess.
