I miss the days when they had a store in the Bluewater shopping center.

So just 40k, AoS, tOW, and KT. Disappointing for Warcry fans.

So do many many parents. But that was a decision made some years ago to get out of high rent areas.

Well not that literally I think. But Tottenham court in London and then, Chelmsford, Colchester and Ipswich all still have stores in the town centre.

Twas a long time ago now, but I have a rather fond memory of visiting it before a screening of Fellowship of the Ring. It certainly was a night to remember!

Hopefully we'll see Warcry in a special preview shortly after, as we're almost into April and expecting a new edition about...now, I think?

With the new HH edition all-but-confirmed for Summer then I would expect Warcry to get the same September release slot KT did last year. So probably a little early to see news on it.

Very surprised to see the Tyranid terrain this early. I thought for sure that would be the start of a new KT season and they'd squeeze out another Volkus box first.

My locals are Southampton and Winchester - both are as close to the city centre as you could reasonably expect them to be. Only a 5 minute walk if that.

The main highstreet areas are just too expensive; so GW has moved out a bit, but so too has a lot of other stores. GW still manages to generally be in that bit of town that's near the main highstreet enough to get good footfall and still feel like the core/safe/good part of town. They aren't right out in the sticks on their own as the only store or in a housing estate or miles from parking and the like.

But yeah these days it seems that only food and clothing can hold onto those super expensive spots and even they often go through a lot of handchanging.

Article about it that include a nice sneak peak!

That looks like those genestealer pods that they used to have on the sprue - only beefed up a lot. I kinda hope its not genestealers though if they are going to do Tyranids - warriors need their set with wings!!

It looks like a new version of the old tyranid spawning scenery/ brood nest

Looking at the GW shop pages - when did the image gallery move to being on the left of the screen, rather than the right? - alone of all the 'Other Games' categories, the entirety of Warcry is tagged in the title as 'online only'. I wonder if that's a sign?

I've been keeping an open mind, but If there's any weight to the rumours of 3rd edition 30K in the summer then Thursday will be the first announcement from GW. Thursdays are usually "Heresy Thursday" and the 2nd edition of 30K was also announced at Adepticon in 2022, if I recall correctly.

The Tyranids in the BfM-Starter Box had something like that too. It hasn't anything to do with GSC or just Genestealers - the previous Stealer box was far older than the cult remake and had an absorber with spine-fist, too (the only one).

But before they make warriors with wings they should update the awful gargoyles.

But Gargoyles work - Tyranid Warriors right now have a single prime model with stats who has wings who is basically pointless to lead a squad of Warriors

They were not good when they were released. Too large heads and arms - they look just goofy and malformed. And bad.

Sure, but it was a pointless choice in the starter box too. If a single mono-pose model needs a better/fitting squad or an existing squad urgently needs better models I'd opt for the latter.

Old FW scenery was the best, I spent many hours staring at the website wishing I could afford all that stuff

I was hoping to see something for Warcry. Maybe that’ll be a surprise

I'm still waiting for the rest of the War of the Rohirrim characters for Middle-Earth. I thought they might show some stuff for that at Adepticon but right now signs point to no.

I must say it's a bit tiresome waiting for just the already announced Hera. I'm now seriously considering Eoywn & Merry as proxys for Hera and Lief...

GW must have made the change to the gallery in the last twenty seven hours. When I checked something yesterday morning it was still on the right side.

i hope, that if we are going to get heresy news, and if it is going to be a new edition, we get something concrete in the vein of "is it a carryover edition, or something more significant" instead of just teasing "new edition" and leaving us to speculate for another three months

Given the latter is 3 months of people raising awareness about an upcoming product, I would firmly guess the latter. Show the cool toys, get people talking.

We are going to get loads of Votann goodies for sure... 100% failing that Some space puppies or nids please.

Whilst I note new Tyranid Warriors likely means losing MOST of the close combat weapon options in the box - I would at least welcome them to get wings so that the current Prime is actually useful as a leader model.

In general Im not a fan of swarms of winged miniatures, just a pain to handle those models. But a small unit of warriors would be nice.

Not long now rendering this moot, but freshly lifted from Insta.

Why am I still up? Had a migraine earlier and retreated to bed to try and sleep it off mid afternoon. So naturally, I now can’t sleep.

Is that a Cathay armored sentinel? Sure looks like one. I did not expect to see a Cathay reveal this far in advance, i'd expect that to be a summer/fall release at the earliest.

That is 100% the Cathay Terracotta Sentinal in the middle. Wow.

Had to google it, but it sure looks it!
