The rumours I heard are that we are getting a new edition of Blood bowl. No idea which teams are in the box.

Alas I can relate. It's always the way, the one we want is the one we never get.

I also heard that. There's a number of people pushing that rumour/idea and we will get a new edition one day but will it be this time around or another team first?

I'm fine with either

I swear to the Space Emperor they haunt forums so they know what not to make...

Alchemist team fully 'roided out to play Blood Bowl.

Spies? Among us? The fiends! Capture them and send their heads back to their masters!

But the spies might be the sane ones!

Sanity is for the weak.

Anyway, less than a day now. Will be good to finally see the new Sigmarines. I hope there are new models for the Castellant and Relictor. I'd like to see them with the new proportions, especially now that GW seems to embrace a blinged up look for Sigmarines.

If GW wants me to buy something again, they need to reward the Emperors Children army already. Fulgrim release was worst thing they’ve done so far.

Was it? I don't think it was really that much of a Debbie downer that HH got a pricey AF resin primarch model first.

I don't hear all the loyalists complaining about the fact The Lion had a resin mini years ago.

Real question is do I stay up, set an alarm, or sack it off entirely and catch up tomorrow morning.

Catch up, I doubt you'll miss much the article won't cover, the 40 winks are invaluable however.

True that. Though, I have hit my target at work already, so not like I need to put in much effort the rest of this week 🤣🤣

Would it be wild if they revealed plastic fulgrim but no EC for prob til late nxt year 😁

Stormcast x3 and Bloodbowl

I'm seeing some leaked photos of Chaos Dwarfs for Blood Bowl circulating around, looks legit.

Yes I concur, Chaos Dwarves it is!

That was a bit disappointing?

Edit: Ok I take it back but why did they not show all those in the video ^^

Death Korps of Krieg Full release
More Craftworld Aspect warrior updates
Then Chaos for 40

All next year

So the Chaos Dwarves team gets some new positionals, chaos dwarf blockers, chaos dwarf flamesmiths, hobgoblin linemen and hobgoblin sneaky stabbers.

The bull centaurs are sold separately from Foreworld but include 2 in the pack.

Makes me wonder how many figures come in the box set, 12 or 14.

Rules update too for iron hard skin which is a big improvement, ignores all armour modifiers. All the chaos dwarves have this.

Nice slice of history in the Spike Mag 18 which will include the infamous Hobgoblin team.

Looks like a great themed team with improvements, just a little shame the bull centaurs are FW only but they do look impressive.


*Edit: the BB write up is now up.

The iron hard skin change is actually:
'Chaos Dwarf Blockers no longer start with the Tackle skill. This is replaced by Iron Hard Skin, which prevents any adjustment to their armour value – even claws are blunted by this – so they will always be hard to hurt at a formidable AV10+.'

There's 14 figures in the box. Plus the 2 bull centaurs from FW gives a full 16 roster.

The article does briefly mention a Minotaur still being a Minotaur so maybe the team list will still include one.

Stormcast article:

Am i hoping too much was that an unrevealed Blood Angel character obscured by the light at the back?

Well damn, that's all gorgeous.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Horus Heresy and Legions Imperialis:

Leading the charge will be a long sought-after weapons kit, which we’ll be revealing in the coming weeks. Beyond that, 2025 will bring more tanks, and new plastic weapons options for existing walkers for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy

In the stream they also talked about Legion specific plastics for HH and other factions like Mechanicum, Custodes and Sisters of Silence for LI

For once, the preview was worth watching. These roadmaps are extremely vague compared to what was said. Which was also fairly vague, but less vague than the roadmaps.

Was listening on way home, wow, what a waste of time. They literally said nothing and showed nothing. At least I can take a break until next year, my wallet thanks you GDubs!!.

These "roadmaps" don't really meet the definition of a roadmap, imo. There's almost nothing on them and basically no commitment to a timeline on any of it. Half of each one is taken up by stuff that's already been done, most of them ate just blank space.

In fact, the most interesting thing about it is that basically there's nothing more coming for 40k or TOW this year after BA and WoC respectively. At least we know that DKoK are finally getting some love mect year and the next two factions for TOW I guess. HH also seems kinda low-key for the next few months, looks like AoS will be the main focus instead.

This was an Ad for the people watching it at NOVA, nothing more.

Well I guess I can finally start my Chaos Dwarf army ... I mean team. Not what I expected to come first but hoping enough interest that GW will make the army.

Been strong rumors for a while from reliable sources they'd be coming as an army to AoS

Except the stormcast reveals at the beginning this whole show felt like meeting a guy at the bar and he just says "I'm under NDA so i can't tell you what exactly but ~stuff is coming~"


And then he drinks too much so you leave quickly before they cause problems
