Don't we all think that's when the release date for AOS 2 will be announced? Would make sense, and they've already announced that they will be previewing a lot of new stuff. Yes, I think it is highly likely that they will announce the starter set and the exact launch date during their preview seminar. I wonder what other stuff we will see. Hopefully we will get a better look at the new Mortarch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW is taking over the world. So the AoS open day is now on June 30th, so ideally we'll know the major pieces by then(and hopefully preorders at least starting). If AoS2e is in full swing by then, I wonder if they'd just be doing full announcements of things about to come out in a few weeks of if they'd use it as an opportunity to announce later in the summer events and post-Nighthaunt/Stormcast battletomes.

They seem (and I use this as I'm not dealing in definite, just perceptions) to be keen to hear from those that are already in the city walls, and not those outside, so to speak. The community only really has itself to blame for this. We used to have official GW forums when forums were first a thing. The vitriol got so bad they were taken down and set GW community engagement back a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillagoreFaceslasha Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Today they will start the warhammer tv live with a bit of a recap and analysis of the story so far, would anyone be so kind as to post a summary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they said "Coming June" in the original teaser, so June 30th really is the last day it could possibly be released. The UK Games Expo also has a GW Q&A panel which says in the description contains "major reveals", possibly the release date. So either the 2nd, 9th or 16th will be preorder day, with a 2 week delay like mentioned earlier. Either way there's a lot to look forward to!

It's not balanced, it's there to make people buy models or follow the meta. I don't think GW is under any obligation to correct people who run wild with their imaginations. If you're uncertain you wait for the full set of details. This is a fast food culture mentality and I just don't support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they will use it to promote the hell out of AoS2. But even that aside. This weekend the Imperial Knight pre-order goes live. I think that the pre-order for AoS2 goes live after that, on the 9th of June. They said they have an article for every day until the release. That's why I asked how many factions are left without a preview. My guess is they can stretch it out until the 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progress is made by questioning the status quo, and looking forward. Just like the political system here, we can say 'well it's the previous lot's fault' till the cows come home. Or say 'look where we are now, lets change this'. That time has gone. Lets always be moving forward, and that includes GW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be missing my point, which suggests I haven't made it clear enough. I'm saying that better communication stops this imagination train running off the rails.

I won't disagree with that, but, as mentioned earlier even with things fully in the open people come to their own conclusions that might not be correct. GW could write an article that says, "Don't worry summoning will be fair and balanced", but that means different things to different people and unless they release all the rules people still won't have the right picture. Personally, I am worried about the size of armies. Part of the issue with WHFB was the cost of getting into the hobby and it seems we're going in the wrong direction. I have no issues with it, because I have piles of models, but this certainly will strain other hobbyists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Marius Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I think they are deliberately stoking the "imagination train" because wild speculation IS an effective form of engagement. Theyll do all the indepth designers notes stuff in white dwarf and on actual release week. This stage of the campaign is literally to wind everyone up to get the conversation going, and we can see its working a treat in this very thread!

Thebiggesthat Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I'm not arguing on the current strategy, I'm saying that I don't believe that it's the right approach. The Daily Mail keeps publishing articles that I believe are utterly abhorrent and disgusting. They do this to cater for their readership, but also to get a reaction. A view is a view, and the cross people look at the same advert as the happy person. I don't believe this is good for GW as a brand going forward and would like to see a different approach.

bsharitt Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Lots of artefacts to choose from. I'm guessing all this will be in the "expanded" rules of the new core rule book. So while it won't be a hard necessity, it'll be like the 40k core book in that you'll really want it to expand beyond basic games. I'll bet the all realm stuff is probably also in these expanded rules and is meant to work across all type of play including matched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know me and people I play with are on the engaged and excited side. It’s sales 101, drive interest in your product before release. If you find it irritating avoid it (which for a lot of main stream products with ad budgets is near impossible, see iPhones, latest fancy TV etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smucreo Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I don't think so, imo choosing a realm will allow you to choose between your own spell lores/artifacts/traits and the ones the realm gives you. that's how i see it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I say my idoneth are from X realm I will choose between my idoneth artefacts and the realm artefacts... Maybe is an addon but I see it very cool. The ones that wanna think most will go for a realm and the ones that don't (as my friends) sure they are ok with battletome artefacts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be nice for the non-battle tome armies to maybe get some options beyond just Grand Alliance stuff. Actually if the artefacts and spells are good enough, it might actually make GA armies viable in general (outside of a few cheesy combo lists).

smucreo Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I guess it depends on whether you count Nagash or his hat as the monster... maybe on a roll of 5 the hat is the one enthralled but Nagash can still attack haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
