What does make me doubt it now is french announcement with english front cover book. Thats a little strange. Though they have two versions Id make it up with the french variant.

But in the above pic its just clouds. - Cedric Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryMou3e Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Thunder and Blood.This is incorrect. Thunder and blood was released yesterday and the cover art from the boxed book is completely different https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Age-of-sigmar-thunder-and-blood-eng-2017?_requestid=10297784Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Marius Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Finally a genuinely exciting bit of news! Will be buying this on release day, which i hope is soon! Now we just need some more battletomes and the next series of campaign books to start and AoS can pick up some momentum again! Also new models couldnt hurt! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James McPherson Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) I just asked someone on Facebook who owns the T&B set, they confirm the ad is in the Thunder & Blood book Edited June 25, 2017 by James McPherson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James McPherson Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I imagine they want their feed to be only their posts right? If you look at their feed, they don't have any content started by anyone except themselves? Standard social media marketing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjackpounder Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Went down to my lgs today to order some Daemonettes for my planned slaanesh army but they're apparently no longer available. Are they discontinuing the slaanesh models or is there a repack/update on the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what I've though before, but this shores up my thoughts on the matter. Very much so - I think we all got a bit excited when GW asked for feedback for the new handbook and started talking about rules changes What's interesting is that it very much backs up the thought that this will be an annual update rather than an update when GW feel it needs one - keeping fingers crossed for new battle plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamopower Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Didn't they state somewhere (I guess in whtv) that the GHB2 will indeed be mostly about adjusting the points values. Still hoping for the allegiance abilities and relics for everyone though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countmoore Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'm just hoping that all the destruction players drank themselves out of battle brew this time round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 12 hours ago, Arkiham said: No idea why they deleted it then Likely because of what you said in terms of context, being that they want to announce it officially or big on a different date. Which I understand because there is still a lot of 40K to put into the limelight and there is little for GW to gain to suddenly slap the cool generals handbook on top of it all. I think we will officially get a release date in July. This way there is still a week for everybody to pick up on 40K's hype Im very happy its confirmed though! Im looking forward to the changes. I think costs will not be dramatically changed though I do not hope that ForgeWorlds cost change actually was a leaked sneak peek... The thought of a Mourngul going to 280 is not an issue to me personally but I do not believe it would be very healthy for the Matched play games... On the other side a change like that would validate Death as a faction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pseudonyme Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 With the last 40k announcement, do you think that will update Storm of Sigmar with new press-fit minis and a paper battlemat (like the new 40k First strike starter set)? As I think the new Know no fear starter si basically the 40k version of Thunder and blood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I also hope to see a Battletome for Death that matches the newer ones. As the latest ones ooze character and really give a representation of what stands for what. In that same vein Im eager to discover if Vampires in the Deathrattle play as big of a role as they did in Vampire Counts. An re-introduction of Blood Lines could be an interesting prospect. 1 hour ago, pseudonyme said: With the last 40k announcement, do you think that will update Storm of Sigmar with new press-fit minis and a paper battlemat (like the new 40k First strike starter set)? As I think the new Know no fear starter si basically the 40k version of Thunder and blood Its certainly a very likely option. Though because GW has made objectives for 40K I would be too suprised to see them skip on the mat and toss in two of those. I really also hope AoS will have physical objective markers soon also! In general I think it would be cool to see different ones for Order, Chaos, Destruction and Death. They could quite easily form a set on their own with that.
