CATHAY¬!

They are going all out with this preview too - airships, artillery, cavalry the lot!

Cathay looks so much better than the rest of the old things they are re-releasing for the other factions.

Well that's understandable - its an entirely new and fresh army. To be fair Beastmen and Woodelves have quite a few fairly modern models to their name. Or at least which are not that old.

But yes Cathay and Kislev (eventually) had to come last. Honestly makes me really excited to see what comes after them and when we see GW hopefully turn to updating some older classic models with newer designs.

Those lanterns look pretty good.

My mind is blown.

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.

If you compare to the computer game footage, it sure looks like a Cathay sentinel.

Dragon and winged mounted hero are going on my "buying cause they look awesome" pile

And yeah I was thinking maybe they'd tease A model not the whole freaking army!

Oooh, all plastic Cathay. That’s nice.

My wife is a huge WE nerd, and those Cathay are jaw-dropping to me.

At some point my wallet will scream in agony.

Gorgeous models too.

Hmm I might be miss remembering - though I know they got the new big gore-titan beasty fairly recently?

Mechanicus will find a home in my Mechanicum force. Much needed Servitors and Magos,

I'm just happy Servitors are returning, and I assume will get rules for use with the AdMech.

You migh be right. I don't rebember if they were released at the same time than the minos or later. But at least most of the beastmen range is still serviceable, which isnt the case for a lot of the armies re-released (i'm looking particuliarly at you Tomb Kings). Still a shame that they haven't at least gave us a plastic chariot for them

Sounds like Raveners can be built as basic or one of each "hero" form for the Killteam. Going to be interestign to see how they balance into 40K itself but EVER so happy to see them with their long tails. they feel proper wriggly and serpentine with them!

The terrain for Tyrainds also looks ACE!

That "Age of sigmar hint" at the very end looks like a dragon back and dragon wing - so either surprise terrorgast model OR could it be Malarion's shadow draconic aelf army?!

Isn’t that pic a previously previewed roadmap FEC image?

Probably hence why I put the terrorgast comment in - esp since GW are replacing the zombie dragon part






Also Khorne gets to keep their 3 headed pet doggy!

Not sure about those Tzeentch robots, would have prefered more bulky ones

Love those Thousand Son Robots.

Space Woofs look cool.

There’s a real 2nd Ed feel for the Blood Claws and Grey Hunters.

Not a marine fan but the Spacewolf update looks chunky and awesome for players - loads of updated models there and new wolfies!

Always makes me sad to recall how crappy BA releases are compared to all other SM/CSM releases.....

So much love given to those SW bare heads.

GK, are... the same as they have been?

Yeah.
I’m pretty sure people found all the artwork for the Horizon stuff last time.
3 AoS and 4 40K images wasn’t it.

That salamander image was after GK, but here’s wolves..

There they are

Pretty good preview show, with Grand Cathay being the “country mile” winner.

That's one of the worst previews they've ever put out.

I really like that Wood Elf battalion box. The picture of it looks like almost a complete army from a White Dwarf battle report from 30 years ago. Maybe only a small first step if you're playing Old World, but most of the army if you're playing 3rd or 4th, maybe Warhammer Renaissance too.

Cathay looks really nice. And they look like a Warhammer army, not a Warcraft one like they and Kislev were teased way back when. I'd think that would break some hearts of people I've talked to on the internet, but probably they're GW stans and will claim to love them either way.

Old World took the light in this one - 2 returning armies previewed and then the whole of Cathay being shown off in all its amazing detail and content. That stole the light for certain from this release!

40K Gets some awesome new Raveners - not the warriors I thought we'd get but I'm VERY happy to see the new kits coming for Killteam. The terrain for Tyranids is also great and the Mechanicus models look very solid!

Demons are getting a few new units and its nice to see GW doing some non-leader options in there with the new Tzeentch robots as a small update the army with their new codex - and nice ot see 3 headed doggy isn't lost (even if he did escape the codex itself).

Rest is very marine heavy but honestly looks great and Spacewolves are shaping up for a really big update.



Honestly overall really good and its nice that they are pushing updates further than the 3 month window. Sure its just a teaser image, but its nice to get that as a general heads-up.


Spearhead is also sounding really strong and the new sets are looking fun; sure its not new models but its a good solid game format for faster games and easy for newbies to get into.

And that’s the show wrapped up.

A rare preview show AoS L. Can’t win them all! Just new boxes of stuff we’ve already had. Spearhead is pretty great though. The buildup to Generals Handbook is intriguing.

Cathay looks awesome, but I’m not sure how I feel about how massive the blimp and statues are. Just irks me for some reason.

Another win was the Space Wolves. All pretty cool kits, and I’m excited for more.The non-answer for the future of the Space Wolf cavalry seemed pretty suspect, but who knows. Always been on the fence about them. Kill the Canis Wolfborn mini, by all that’s holy!

The chaos stuff was meh. The new Khorne character didn’t looks too different from the regular eightbound, but I’ve got the untrained eye. Same with the Nurgle character. Tzeentch robots look incredibly static in their pose.

I really need to get into Kill-team.

Boo, wasted slots on basic space wolf troops while chaos got one kit each and Grey Knights only get an upgrade sprue.

Am I crazy of are the "new" space wolves actually new or a fancy retool. Or maybe I've just seen way too many space marines and the poses are all blending into one big mess
