Troke's video implies that actually "plans" for their games (so possibly roadmaps, or more) are the focus this time, with miniature previews secondary.

That is interesting!
I’m very curious to find out what that means…
Perhaps something like they’ll reveal that Chaos Dwarves are coming out, but instead of showing of too much of the models (instead holding them off to launch a hype train closer to release), showing of stuff like concept art, and talking about how they approach an update for such a classic faction and their thoughts about bringing them to life in the new context of AoS?

Something like that maybe? I know I’d certainly enjoy hearing/seeing stuff like that, at least 😌✨
But perhaps that’s just my personal wishlisting…

Modelwise I don’t think we’ll see any larger releases for 40k the rest of the year, after BA. (that is to say only codex+character releases for the ones coming out, is my guess), Since SCE and Skaven will probably take up much of the release slots.
If that’s the case, this’ll probably be quite early to reveal any models not coming out until january or so. But talking about the reimagining of Emperor’s Children, might be interesting to hear about. Or something like that! I’m just speculating wildly here

So they did, so they did.

That's the front cover artwork for the LI Tallarn expansion book which just released at the weekend. With (tiny) plastic shadowswords.

Is it too early for a mid edition 40K campaign box teaser? Or has GW done away with them?

The only new models that will be revealed are the Stormcast for AOS and a blood bowl team

Sounds like it might be a pretty disappointing show if it's mainly just going to be the Sigmar Stormast, BloodBowl and then roadmaps for other stuff, to me that's not really the sort of thing that feels like it should be one of the main reveal shows of the year. Last years had quite a few miniature reveals for multiple games.

No mention of other games like Necromunda either.

The Stormcast is still going to be a good chunk of models and the roadmaps are going to be welcome to see.

GW have gone from the "one or two big reveals a year" to "lots of little ones". We are still waiting on a bunch of stuff; we just had a preview with a bunch of things only the other week.

Wasn’t that just the kill team reveal?

Looks like miniature reveals for AOS and Bloodbowl and roadmaps for the rest. Seeing as they're makng a big deal out of the roadmaps, will they be a bit for comprehensive than usual?

Just expectation setting for once I think.

After the recent culling I just don't feel the same about the Stormcasts and so far 4th edition has been unwelcome. I doubt there is any reveal at Nova that will change that and will probably end up ditching it for MESBG.

Blood Bowl? "Brewing"? Do they have Witches in the Warhammer universe or have the Orks been eating too much fruit? Inquiring minds wanna know, even if they don't play Blood Bowl.

If Imperial & Chaos Knights or Eldar don't appear this side of Christmas then its going to be a crap year for 40K.

Horus Heresy...dunno. Probably more Solar and Mechanicum related stuff, and a smaller starter set in the new year.

The Old World isn't High Fantasy without High Elves...

Now the obligatory whine-with-cheese; not enough support for board games. Still no word of anything like Space Hulk or a new Warhammer Quest.

No Necromunda, LI or Kill Team?

Kill team was last weekend

I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's a new Blood Bowl starter set with revised Orc and Human teams.

So a new edition of Blood Bowl, maybe?

Age of sigmar bloodbowl?
People dont need the "old world" nostalgia now that they actually got "The Old World".

Disclaimer: I dont actually wish for AoS BB, just got the Idea in my head.

That’s not the appeal of Blood Bowl at all

Rumours point at votann and tsons for this year with an early release army box over Christmas/new year for guard or eldar.

SHSSSSSHHHHH!

You can seriously get lynched for making such suggestions!

OMG! I think I've got it! Thousand Sons vs Eldar!

Seriously, it would be the 40K version of AOS: Arcane Catacylsm from mid-3rd edition AOS, which pitted the Lumineth vs Tzeentch. The Eldar are painfully lacking Asurmen who is the big cheese when it comes to Aspect Warriors and Phoenix Lords, and the Dire Avengers will probably be updated with him as well. Thousand Sons...I don't know what new stuff they would get but like you say they're tipped to be very soon. And both T'Sons and Eldar are rivals when it comes to Psykers.

Thats it, Thousand sons wave 2 confirmed.

(Don't break my dreams, two more days)

I could see Eldar getting one over the Thousand Sons only to get sucker punched later by Fulgrim and the Emperors Children when they come out.

Rumours said that, but the article said a team.

Necromunda only recently got Secundus, so I wouldn't expect any news on that front until next year.

'There’s also something brewing on the Blood Bowl pitch, and if Jim and Bob’s excitement is anything to go by, it’s a team to be watched.'

So happy for this. Knew there was another team coming this year. I don't even mind which one lol. By that I mean I don't even care if it's a teams of legend like High Elves or Chaos Dwarves, or if it's another new team.

After initially being told by pundits there would not be a Blood Bowl reveal at Nova, I'm just pleased there is. I knew they were wrong lol. More Blood Bowl is better. Well for BB fans anyway.

Assuming 'brewing' is a clue who brews in Warhammer?

Goblins, Dark Elves, Bugman/Dwarves anyone else?

Have any factions gotten a second team? Empire did, undead too?

If the word 'brewing' is literally being taken as an Old World race that is known to brew... Skaven also make Skavenbrew.


Edit: To be clear, I'm not saying the next team is a Skaven variant, just that they also brew.

Brewing can be used to define beer making, brewing up coffee/tea, magic brews or even trouble brewing (coming).

Most people seem to think it's Chaos Dwarves coming. The other part about the team to be watched could be because they are sneaky backstabbing gits which plays into the Hobgoblin part of the Chaos Dwarves. Now the word brewing has been assumed as a clue some believe an Orc/goblin variant team, something like fungoid squigs or savages/spider riders.

At some point the BB rules will get redone with faqs etc included. Whether they need to do another edition for that is uncertain. I thought the current edition would be around for a while yet. I know a couple of years ago there was talk from the designers about what teams they would like to do, or what could be expanded on in the future. Hobgoblins were mentioned.

It's all interesting as BB rumours always abound but not normally from GW staff. They don't normally get leaked as it's a small tight group working on them.

Just hope the hype now isn't just for the redux Blitz Bowl Ultimate edition, which while cool and is Orcs and Dwarves, is not released everywhere around the world.

A new smaller Starter for HH would be cool.

An "Epic" AoS Game would be funny, not in the fashion of Warmaster, but in that of Legions Imperalis, with Sieges.

Given that the Gnome team just dropped in out of nowhere, it could be anything for Blood Bowl. Some sort of classic witch team, cauldrons, brooms, the whole shebang?

Well could be, fits in with the brewing theme if that's what the clue is about.

Personally I'm more inclined to believe it's a new team coming. It would be just like GW to pull another new team out of its hat than to give everyone what they expect next, like chaos dwarves or another team of legend. Make them wait a bit more lol.

Mind you if we get 2 teams a year it would make sense if 1 of them was new and 1 a ToL remake.

Only 2 days or so to go

Well, it won't be the Khemri team because GW isn't in the habit of giving me what I want.
