Is there any meat to this talk about Warhammer Quest? Or is it just speculation?

Only thing I can think of the top of my head is that blackstone fortress is done, so they could start a new quest project - And the witch hunter model would fit really well in with a new warhammer quest.

Speculation/cynicism.

There's been a lot of unsolved Rumour Engines pointing to Death models. Usually a 'hodgepodge' implies a Quest release  such as all those different Imperial parts which turned out to be the BSF crew. There's also the Vampire Hunter who's a very odd-one-out in that the stakes imply a far more specialist role than a generic Witch Hunter and such a character would fit a Quest game - Warcry is about Chaos turf, Underworlds has none of this year's symbols fitting something CoS/Order of Azyr.

However recently they all-but-confirmed Soulblight and Ossiarch Underworld warbands so they could be for those and it could just be the Maritime Death for AoS (whatever they turn out to be) and then the Underworlds warbands.

February is usually when they reveal their spin-off games at the New York Toy Faire and although it's only January, we'd be at the tail end of it, so the dates aren't that out of whack. Plus it's been a while after Blackstone Fortress.

I would'nt be sad for a Warhammer Quest.

Painting Silver Tower was a fun project to do. I heard Blackstone Fortress was fantastic and i would totally play an improved version of this game in a Age of Sigmar setting

It would be great, both silver tower and blackstone was fun to paint and play - But would be happier if it is a new death army, vampire, zombies, updated LoN, anything really

I'm not sure if it will or won't be a new army or not, but I do remember the Slaanesh warband being revealed in one of these events before the other mortals were revealed, so it's not totally out of the way for it to be 'just' a warband reveal, but similarly that doesn't mean it'll be the end of similar releases. That said, I don't know how often they reveal the models for a new army when the most recent army hasn't been released yet?

It is, but they may pull this one forward and give you a look at another warband later on. I'm not sure either way, just not sure how likely it is to get an army reveal before the last reveal has been released and likely well before the full army reveal will materialise into a buyable army. 

That's not to say it won't be an army reveal, but it would be a bit strange to have one now.

Eh, they usually announce new army releases a couple months in advance. They won't show everything upfront, but it's not odd at all.

Hedonites have been fully revealed now, and the only other things on the horizon besides Death seems to be just the new Lumineth models and whatever the Witch Hunter model is for.

Let's be real: I'd totally buy a nice stand alone vampire hunter vs. undead game. That would probably be a super fun little side project.

But LoN also desparately needs a rework.  And I think we have been seeing too much Death stuff for too long for it to be just an iteration of  Warhammer Quest.

They could do the reveal like they did with Hedonites, where we knew about the Lord of Pain and the Dread Pageant for a while before it was made clear that there would be an army release/new battletome. I am expecting the same in this case: I think we will get a full Death army release, but I don't expect it to be fully announced on saturday.

If my memory still serves at all it may be worth noting that the Silver Tower quest game was released before the first Disciples of Tzeentch battletome but was the first place we saw miniatures for Tzaangors and Kairic Acolytes.

Granted that was back in the early days of AoS and releases tend to be a little different nowadays, but a death themed warhammer quest would not necessarily prevent a larger faction release later on.

PreviewThisWeek Jan18 Systems v2bfbSo no Warcry reveals, but I guess that the "mistery box" is going to be the Warhammer Quest game?

So AOS being first seems to pattern that it'll be the 'main' reveal - so I'd call that the undead faction is going to release in AOS and not Quest.

40k - SoB / Priesty Bois

Kill Team - they've teased a new edition of that game for months now, be nice to see something. New starter box?

Titanicus - I have no idea, I don't play or follow the tiny versions of big robot game

Underworlds - the Vampire warband is a given. Possibly a tease at what those three next bands are?

? - Warhammer Quest is a 75% here, unless the madlads are launching another specialist game? Lord of the Rings spin off?

Would probably put money on something akin to Underworlds in 40k - small boxes of models, card based gameplay. It's made me buy a box to satisfy an itch that's made me spend hundreds on armies - new intro product?

Sadly, no Warcry - hoping we see some new Warbands soon
