Dark Mechanicum coming to LI, followed by 28mm HH later no doubt. Shows the plastic Mechanicum releases have been going down better than expected. Really happy to see HH getting another faction!

As for the Brutal & Kunnin KT24 box, that terrain is a must-have and indicates all the terrain in this season might be compatible with eatch other.. This is going to get expensive. I just wish they'd also sell the terrain separately, I dont really want any more teams (got 10+ teams already thank you very much!) but I do want all of that terrain for 30K/40K/KT2* games.

Happy to see eclectic teams in the box, but like I said, I dont need any more teams.. Tankbustas kit has mucho conversion fodder potential though

Watched that "vignette" just now. With Bandai/Namco money behind it, felt like a prolonged cutscene from some upcoming Deathwatch vs Necrons action BolterPron game. Might indicate more licenced stuff coming later on..

It doesn't, though. The plastic mechanicum only released a few months ago. It takes 2-3 years for miniatures to go from design to release, so it has no relevance to how well those kits are or aren't selling.

Yeah you're right. Can't keep my Japanese toy and game conglomerates straight

WarCom 500 internal server error

GW had no more money for their servers after they redid the website. Ten people visit the new website and it crashes, but afterwards they can market it as “so many people were excited about us that the glorious nee site crashed. Seems like we need another price hike!”

So the blackstone and holiday model ratlings have sculpted fur feet, but not the kill team?

Kill team ratlings are all above board (rather than being deserters and thieves), so presumably they are sticking to Guard uniform regulations and still shave.

The sisters, crons and tau batleforces are distinctly... slimline on points and content. I'm assuming they'll be a similar price point and % saving? It just seems bizarre to me that the big expensive Christmas box with a huge saving still doesn't clear 700 points

No one posted pictures of all the articles for those of us that can't access the WarCom site like me?

My thoughts on what was shown (from what I remember, would check the site, but well...):
- Warhammer Underworlds: nice to finally see some update on this game, and the new Warbands are great looking (especially the Skavens), but very disappointed this is a full reboot. Not much of a fan of model art for cards, either.
- WH Day model: nice model, but already shown in great detail
- New S2D Wizard, Spearhead & Battletome: nice to see some new content for AoS.
- Battleforces: probably some nice deals in those, and I like that they are trying to align them to specific formations thematically, but none of this is new and deserves a reveal slot in the WH Day preview
- LI: I suspect the Mechanicum being spoiled early cut a bit of the wind from their sails, and that they had intended to have a big reveal here. Dark Mechanicum specific kits look awesome, though.
- KT: really strong showing here, both Orks and Ratlings look great. A lot of tank-busting stuff for a game without tanks, though.
- Christmas Ratlings: awesome model
- LarpHammer : I'm not really into this stuff, but it's probably great for people who are, so I won't complain
- DeathWatch Animation teaser: nice to get free WHTV content, more bolter porn, but well animated at least

The Warcom site is down and has been since about when the reveal started so - no one can see the pages; though I think a good few are up on their FB

As far as I can tell, the site crashed before the articles were made available.

I'm a little disappointed with the CoS battleforce because it has two units that are already in the spearhead box. I suppose some may like the extra knights and cannon, but it seems like better value to not duplicate their contents.

I really like most of the 40k battleforces. To the extent that I probably cannot justify spending the amount I would on them at once.

Underworlds seems a lot uglier in terms of it's card style, and I think losing the dual boards is a huge shame. I don't hate some of the more accessible nature though. I want a lot more information on what is being done to make old teams playable.

Wonder if we'll be lucky enough to see EC at the next preview stream in late November, or if we'll have to wait until they start chugging through the already announced IG/Eldar/Knight reveals. Fingers crossed...

At least the end is finally in sight now. Can't wait

Maybe they’ll string it out like Worlds Eaters and show sketches and WIPs

For some reason, it looks like the Aquila on the rifle on the Ratling Diorama miniature has absolutely no detail and is entirely flat?

Edit: Same with all the ones in the squad, actually. No detail at all. It seems that's how the blackstone fortress miniature's are too so i suppose it's intentional? Still seems a bit odd though

Having their community site crash on the day of a big bunch of reveals is kind of a bad look for GW. Granted it's (probably) not intentional, but somebody in their IT department might be looking for a job after this. Especially since it's been down all day.

Given that the human component of the Cities only has a handful of units that aren't re-purposed WHFB kits, I'm not sure there's much they can do about it.

It's not been "down all day", it was up all day in the UK and went down after the stream ended from what I can tell. The community site obviously isn't considered a tier 1 solution or it'd be back up by now. As it stands the logical conclusion is nobody is looking at it til tomorrow or monday. GW don't host their own web servers. Nobody's getting fired.

In the RoW it’s been down all day - might be bed time in the UK so it’s not an issue there, but it very much is in other time zones. GW is an international company after all.

I agree, it is a poor look.

For me the Warhammer Community site, news site, went down before the reveal that's why I couldn't see anything. Shame. The 500 internal server error on a black screen was frustrating. Lucky some kind hearted people here on Dakka gave the twitch location and screen shots of minis.

Btw there's some really cool figures coming, looking forward to their release.

Btw that 500 internal server error is still showing right now, by my count that's 12 hours plus counting.

Also btw has anyone been able to order that exclusive chaos sorcerer yet?

He's conspicuously absent from the Australia and New Zealand webstores, available everywhere else. Didn't see any mention of it being delayed in Oceania, but obviously there's no way to check WarCom right now to see if that was the case.

Our allocated limited stock will show up eventually without warning, I suppose. Hopefully I notice before it's too late.

EDIT: WarCom is back up, and the pre-order article does confirm the (fairly obvious) delay in Oceania

Thank you for this! Thought I was going crazy or blind or something

Pics for the pic gods.

Love the Ratlings.

Love the Dark Mechanicum.

Good reveals.

Thanks Kid K!
