Nice. I await the tease of which game systems are getting sneakypeeky

The video lists 40k, AOS, HH, TOW systems. No KT.

The Facebook promo also specifically promises roadmaps will be announced.

I’ll take Horus Heresy, and a spot of Old World.

Given we’ve just got our releases, I’m not surprised there’s no LI, but would still like something.

Well AoS will be the Stormcast new models and probably not much more than that. Maybe one other faction gets a look in, but I suspect it will be all stormcast after the skaven reveal.

40K hard to say - maybe some Eldar for a final wave of updates for them? (oh heck how about some winged warriors to go with the winged prime!!)

Old World - didn't we just have Chaos previewed and Dwarves released? Could be a repeat of the Chaos preview for the masses; otherwise I guess as its alternating a bit good-bad then we might see a preview for wood elves, high elves or empire

HH could be more Mechanicus stuff after their launch?

I’d imagine it will be the next wave of Mechanicum for Heresy, maybe with the odd “same hull, new turret” toys for Solar Auxilia and Astartes.

Could even go Sabres, but I’ll accept those seem a push right now.

I think Heresy is likely to just be a few of those miscellaneous kits we're missing. Melee arms and such like. I don't even rightly remember what we're missing any more...


If we do get a big announcement, I think Mechanicum wave 2 is a safe bet. Are we waiting on anything more for the Solar Aux?

Aurox transports and Ogryns would be most likely additions for SolAux. Flamer/rotor cannon squads would be nice too. And Rapiers.

Special weapons for command squads would be nice but very unlikely.

I would not say no to Tyranid Dominatrix but would be also quite happy with Shrikes. But seriously I expect some more Votann.

40k: getting our new roadmap for the next 8-10 months. Guard, Eldar, ksons, and probably some more minor stuff

HH: yeah idk. maybe the new Salamanders box set

TOW: now that most factions are released, a roadmap of the rest, plus some idea of what will be happening once the last factions are released. maybe some signs of a new faction or a campaign book

AOS: roadmap of which factions are going to be getting books anytime soon (this one is the most certain)

ToW still has High Elves; Wood Elves, Empire and Beastmen to go. So that's another 4 armies which will take a while to get out. Don't forget we've already got Slaves to Darkness recently previewed.

So that's still a good length of time before we'll see anything outside of those armies.

well, sure, but a roadmap is meant to cover a long time (especially when GW only shares them annually), so i'd expect it to cover a long time

Disappointed they have't confirmed the games in the article, especially if they did in a video.

Sad about no Underworlds reveals, feels like there's been nothing new for ages.

Oh so it IS all at once, excellent.

We know AoS is SCE, so whatevs.

Hoping for more HH reveals than just the melee sprue.

They might not do roadmaps for every system.

Anyway, the heavy rumour before Chaos was announced was that the next two armies were Chaos and High Elves, so I expect there will be a High Elf announcement.

We are running pretty bare on rumours otherwise. There's that new Mark II HH box, but it might be more for the Solar Aux and Mechanicum before that. There was a rumour there'd be another Knight kit. 40k maybe Eldar? I would have say LOV were nailed on, but it was very weird to publish so much stuff in this month's GW if it's getting invalidated in the next three months. Thousand Sons and Death Guard seem plausible.

To be fair rumours were all important in the Kirby days because we got no news on upcoming stuff.

It created a rumour culture in the hobby and some people are still addicted to them; however these days we generally have around a 3month roadmap from GW at most times.

We also get a lot more engagement and news in general. Sure we ALWAYS hunger for more as a group since even with constant regular news; there's always a portion of people who haven't had anything for their game system/army that they play in a while.

yeah, my personal feelings on the degree of news coming out of GW is that of a former magic player: that game always has something going on, and it's far less segmented than WH. a new set will effect every format, but if a new HH army comes out, or new models for an army i don't play, i can just go, "oh those are cool" and then not care beyond that. even if there's stuff always happening, i only need to care about a little bit of it (the only thing on the horizon i'm really going to care about is when welves get their TOW release since both my main 40k armies have their codexes)

Just found the video on YouTube.

As stated above we’re promised 40K, AoS, TOW, HH “and even more”.

Maybe teases for the even more rather than significant reveals.

They haven't actually listed out all the games like they normally do on the article. So they may have chosen to not show everything yet.

Hmm was hoping there'd be another Blood Bowl release before the end of the year

The next specialist game relaunch, obviously.

BFG wants a word with you

All our favourite games? Oh well, in that case...I look forward to hearing about Warhammer Quest and Adeptus Titanicus!

And yet, I know that it's complete rubbish and Corals is taking bets on 40K Eldar next year. I'll just have to make do on Imperial and Chaos Knights for 40K, then...

Space Hulk, with some expensive expansions and White Dwarf support would be ****ing awesome. I would go silly on getting them all. Money is no object here and I will scalp every copy and sleep on them like Smaug in Erebor.

Man O'War AOS edition would be so cool

Look BFG has had its time in the limelight of being "this time for sure" for so long now its time to let others have a go!
Also with how GW are handling things I'd be terribly worried that it will end up ANOTHER Imperial 30K era game... So mirror-match Imperials and no Xenos. Even if it means getting Imperial class ships in Chaos built but without warp influences on them.

Looking forward to the TOW reveal, my guess is high elves as the faction after Warriors and a roadmap showing us the next 6-12 months of releases.
