Yeah we are much more on what kind of Epic it will be.

Mirror Match Horus Heresy like AT - Imperial VS Chaos - full Epic with Xenos

AT already did mirrormatch whilst AN did Xenos (not all though - poor Tyranids :( ). So it could go any way.
One risk is that it starts out mirrormatch and does "ok" but not well enough to have GW invest into additional moulds for a whole second army (eg chaos)

I want it to be Epic, I'm just not seeing anything that says Epic other than speculation from those who (like myself) want to see Epic return.

Seriously dude?

Using old style batrep cards, the "Command Legions" tagline, and the teaser video is called "Battle on a New Scale"?

The subtext has ceased being "sub" with this one.

On top of that:

- them displaying Titans with new weapons on Epic-style bases in an AT article, then later editing just these bases out
- one of the 40 years of Warhammer articles stating that Epic-scale Warhammer was 'in abbeyance', i.e. temporarily absent
- influencers like Duncan suddenly painting decades-old Epic sets
- rumourmongers saying Epic was coming

Oh yeah, the edited bases. I forgot about that.

Anyone remember what they looked like?

Horus Heresy. Because it was shown during a Horus Heresy preview.

This is very quickly turning into walks like a duck/quacks like a duck situation.

It's a duck!

Oh God it's actually happening!

I should have figured that the inquisition would be coming. The last Arks of Omen book teases it, but I was hoping it would be a huge range refresh. Which isn’t off the table, I suppose

Secondary market has you covered if that happens. You can already print everything you could reasonably want. It's safe whatever happens

They were just the flat-rimmed disks of old.

Not necessarily! It could be a witch!

Only if she floats. Or doesn't float. I can never remember which.

No no. You’re a witch if you weigh the same as a duck.

Because then you’re made out of wood. Which is why witches burn.

Just a few minutes now...

Reminded me of this:

Robin: (seeing Batman's contingency plan to kill Martian Manhunter) Fire's his one weakness!
Batman: Yeah, fire's everyone's weakness. It's fething fire.

I think I had a similar rant during a game of Vampire the Masquerade.

Those games got gloriously silly at certain points.

YYYYEEEEEESSAA!

Inquisition vs chaos cultists, this seems like a standalone box before actual next season?


No terrain in the box


Chaos Cultists, Dark Commune and Accursed Cultists vs Inquisition Kill Team

Called it on the Halberd shown off in the Rumour Engine!

Really, really hoping that the Servitor is not locked into a retinue box.

Whole thing sounds neat though.

Inquisition? Check. But where are the Striking Scorpions?

No terrain!!!

RIOT!!!!!!!

No terrain !

Show the Inquisition you gits!

Finally miniature support for Dark Heresy!

Interrogator and Gun Servitor are awesome!

So a kit of 7 dudes that you will want to buy at least two of to build all the variant, plus an absolute truckload of recycled kits that you might like or might like to avoid.. not the best sales model.

Oh boy, klecktable random lootboxes... sod right off with that...

Next Space Marine Heroes which you can use as a Kill Team


Roadmap

We need a proper new kit of servitors. They would have use for marines, admech, and inquisition if not more

SM KT looks good for RPGs.

Next season will be set on the planet the Gallowdark crashed into

Hmmm next season has potential for crashed spacehulk/spaceship terrain so we got that going for us which is nice.

Exodites?

Kill team teaser : Aeldari name dropped + Predator/Jungle animals noises = striking scorpions and/or Exodites ?
