Mmmm.’ MOAR HERESY.

Get it in my upper face holes now! And just a week to wait, which is nice.

WHF: Empire or High elves, whichever they decided to kick out first.

40K: Whatever the next codex is.

AoS: Next tome, presumably Warclans as we've already got the Hob leak:

Heresy: Toss up, but as the focus was a titan, presuming LI.

40K - I'm expecting the Krieg models to be revealed, maybe a launch box as well.

If there's anything else, it'll be a small hint at Eldar or maybe just the topknot of an Emperor's Child or something.

WHF: Presumably that Chaos champion from the arcane journal who doesn't have a model?

40K: Krieg. Maybe something very vague about Eldar or an EC weapon or something.

Heresy: Probably a couple of the Marine characters from the Martian book. Maybe a hint at plastic tank.

AOS: Gloomspite doom diver?

They've said on FB it's not LI.

Yeah they're usually pretty specific about which games are featured. Like the show last month specifically called out Legions Imperialis but not regular Heresy.

Note it also says “and more” at the end.

Could be teasers at the end, as honestly with a new year bearing down fast, this may be a more substantial preview.

40k was probably going to be Fuegan, but someone ruined the surprise. But perhaps some fire dragons?

Not expecting anything for EC, but something substantive for heresy would be nice even if it's just a tank

I'm guessing Krios and Karaknos tanks for Mechanicum

The 40K roadmap seems to show Astra Militarum up next, but I'd be happy to see either Eldar or Knights. Given how far into 10th edition we are, it might be Emperors Children...

30K could be anything. New edition, economical starter set, Custodes or Daemons. The first plastic titan would be the talk of 2025! I'd just like rules for the Dominus as I rather like that kit, but its limited to use in 40K alone...

AOS will be the battletome churn, and after the Sacrosant culling I'm not interested in replacing those model thus nor going any further with the game.

TOW is a bit underwhelming limited to a single game. A spinoff board game would be ideal until the arrival of Mordheim or TOW:Warmaster. Classic Warhammer Quest? I think given the success of Heroquest this would be very popular.

And more? BSF has recently bowed out and was very popular in top solo game lists. A new 40K Quest would be a smart move about now...

Emperors Children are in the renders preview stage. At most I'd expect a few renders of weapons like swords and a sonic blaster.

Plastic Warhound would have me pre-ordering 2 from my flgs. Maybe more likely is a resin full size Dire wolf as far as titans go.

Not excited for Kreig at all, bit if it means a new Basilisk/Medusa kit, that would be worthwhile.

Heresy I'd be expecting another wave of Mechanicum models in plastic considering how basically anything in their range that isn't currently in plastic is either "sold out" or hasn't been restocked in ages.

There are few seconds of the preview about a battle in the space. But I don't see ships, just two creatures. In those moments, the voice says "Rise"

I don't think we'll see EC until at least April. I am keeping everything crossed that when SW drop the Wolf King returns from the warp.

I would read too much into the space display. Because of the nature of 40K and 30K basically everything involves space on some level to get factions into battle. Fleets will rise and fall around ground games that we play out as they transport troops, titans and more to the battlefield and from it.

Everybody seems to be getting their hopes up for fancy teasers. Just expect another Primaris Lieutenant, maybe some random Heresy Space Marine character in Mk3 armour in the exact same pose as all the recent Sons of Horus characters...and you won't be too disappointed

Well, they call it a "huge reveal" so I will expect them to deliver more than single characters or 3d renders.
Or its a pun on plastic warhound beeing huge, like they did with the mega gargants beeing "the biggest release of the year" and a "new massive army".

Media hype going to hype, so put a lot of salt on what the publicity wonks have to say. Everything is the biggest, best, most superlative, etc.

Hopefully we will get some good reveals, but tempered expectations are probably a good idea.

Warhound plastic would be amazing, but unlikely. I'd bet on Thunderhawk before it. Realistically, a resin Dire wolf or reveal of solar aux baneblade or legion felblade would fit with "huge." Or a full wave 2 of mechanicum. Krios we know is getting a kit, karaknos, ursurax and thanatar calis are all just sprue swaps of existing sets, and we have seen myrmadons, domitar, vorax, and the drone thing in small scale.

I'd say the Magaera/Styrix would be an ideal candidate for a plastic kit - two birds with one stone, both using the same Mechanicum armour and Questoris components. I...might be interested in one. Not sure.

In terms of potential sales volumes, the ickle Mechanicum Knights aren’t just Heavy Support choices, but can be taken in squadrons.

Maybe two to a box, two box variants with different weapon Sprues, and the weapon Sprues sold separately. Boof. Decent sales potential.

In addition you'd get by using the additional sprue with the core body/lesgs frame from the armiger box, so no need for massive extra tooling perhaps.

The Magaera/Styrix & Armiger Moirax still have 40k rules as well (under Imperial Armour).

I wonder if the Knight codex releasing after guard/eldar is any indication of more plastic kits for HH before then. Them and custodes seem to be the special exceptions.

Roadmap said new kits every month for Heresy. I can’t recall if it referred to just AoD or AoD and LI.

Apparently for the rest of 2024, "Other factions lurk, waiting for the perfect moment to strike". That comes directly after the mention of Mechanicum, and elsewhere they said that 28mm Dark Mechanicum was "a long way off".

So I'm wondering what's left this side of Christmas, so late. They said "factions" so maybe a new book for Daemons or Militia models? I can only assume they'll announce it on Friday and probably go straight up for preorder the following Saturday - with then a two week window.

I'm assuming that the new edition of MESBG is itself is the big Christmas release?

With mentions in the Martian civil war book and a lack or praetors, I'm still guessing that other factions lurking is referring to some resin raven guard models
