I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure those are red rockets not herrings

Today's video confirms Nurgle

What if they are filled with herrings?

Symbol on the box is Cathayan.

They already have a rocket battery.

The rockets themselves don’t necessarily denote anything. But the symbol on the box almost certainly does.

So if it does, does that mean there's a high possibility that you're going to need a third book to play the full army after this?

True... But still wouldn't surprise me if a new kit for a cathayan missile infantry would come...

And today's video is Ultramarines (yawn)

The live blog is up, currently covering the Grand Narrative - not sure if this will also morph into the preview.

They really went all out on it this year, with the commanders' cosplay being another level compared to last years.

Spoilered for big pics.

Does GW make these costumes, or do they get volunteers to do it themselves?

Cosplayers are highly skilled people. Its amazing what they come up with.

GW definitely won't, but whether they get a professional cosplay person to do I don't know (or if they are also hired actors playing the characters rather than event team staff or volunteers).
Kind of looks like it compared to last time, but expect we'll see some breakdowns.

Especially if Catachan turns out to be an interesting place as far as the previews go...

Well, that's it. I'm turning in. See you all in the morning and hope your wargaming dreams come true.

Not really a Cosplayer, but I delivered the sweets to the children at Halloween in a Techpriest costume. Some of them were amazed, some scared (mask with red light from a bionic eye) and some thought I was Santa.

My Dad was mistaken for Santa once.

We were up Carlton Hill in Edinburgh, during the winter. Dad was wearing a red beanie hat, and had his (short!) white beard.

Wee kid kept staring and pointing. Kid’s Dad explained he thought it was Santa. Which to be fair, given Dad did give me my Christmas Presents, he kinda technically was!

Just caught a Silhouette teaser.

Looks like a Massive Necron Character (tinboy, not C’Tan), something chunky and Nurgle (likely Dark Water final boss), and something I can’t readily identify.

Could be a new Necron tripod lord like the one from the Edition launch set.

I think the silhouette on the right is a Cathayan sorcerer.

IT has begun

and lol the filter they've got for the audio means we don't hear the crowd

anyone else finding it impossible to hear them?

Sound is definitely wonky.

audio is terrible

Sound is wobbling up and down - I think its cause its trying to compensate and filter out the crowd whilst keeping the speakers going

Think there crowd noise cancelling going on.

Adam and Eddie are totally inaudible.

ok good, not just me

Ohh neat its a book of game boards to play on!


Nurgle are getting a freaking treat of awesome models!

Yup. They’re looking very spanky indeed! Nice too see fairly standard Cultists over plague zombies too.

wish i could hear literally anything at all that they are saying.
