The Rumour Thread

[Still-young]

Last nights was actually pretty good in general, I thought, just obviously not if you’re only interested in AoS. They showed quite a bit of exciting stuff otherwise. It was only really Tuesday that’s been a let down. 

[SlyRebirth]

Fingers crossed it's not another "mobile telephone computer game" reveal 🤣

[KingBrodd]

For tonight's reveal I'm hoping for the Underworlds Idoneth Warband, a couple Warcry Warbands and some LOTR.

I would love to see some refreshed troops for LotR. All the new hero sculpts have been cool.

BTW https://imgur.com/J4bWwY6 there is this big centaur vampire mommy book which they didn't preview yesterday for some reason but it exists!

[Gotz]

seeing previous days we can assume 3 15min slots, so 3 previews, max 4. 

Underworlds sure is going to take 1 spot. Idoneth full reveal and maybe show again Kainan's reapers (past previews are basically showing already known stuff)

The other 2-3 spots are hard to guess... but I won't get my hopes high for warcry or kill team.

Bloodbowl, Necromunda and LoTR I think have a lot of possibilities to get something (wasn't LoTR considered a CORE game and not a boxed one?). 

Not sure about Adeptus Titanicus and Aeronautica... 

My bet is 3 previews, 1 being Underworlds and for the others I would go for Bloodbowl and LoTR.

I don’t think LotR comes under ‘boxed games’ by GW definitions. It doesn’t on the webstore, at least. 

[Still-young]

I’m just going to expect the Underworlds warband and Delaque for Necromunda that we know are coming. Anything else is a bonus.

I think there is another supplement in the works, perhaps that will be shown.

I would say if there were LOTR to be shown it would just be under that title, only because they wouldnt have a day devoted to LOTR and HH. Unless on Saturday we get the 3.0 tease and HH and LOTR there. Or maybe just no LOTR in general is also an option.

What about the The Old World, maybe we see something about that on Saturday?

Possible, but I don't think we will see much until we get close to a release. And I think that the Old World is a big enough launch to take up the Summer Release Slot, which is at odds with the suspected AoS3e release.

Yeah you are right, maybe a teaser in today's stream for boxed games? Will Old World be considered a boxed product?

I don't think its a boxed product, but not sure.

There are a bunch of options for the various Boxed Products, so I don't think we will see the Old World.

For example:

Underworlds - Idoneth Warband.

Warcry - new Warband? We have some unknown sigils.

Necromunda - Probably some more Redemptionists

Blood Bowl - Enough teams to toss in there.

Kill Team - Rules update?

Aeronautica - It exists, wasn't there some expansion announced a while ago?

Titanicus  - Another titan variant. Not like that well will ever run dry.

So we already have 7 options, pick 3 from the list and you have a solid preview already.

[sandlemad]

I suspect Necromunda will be a more comprehensive look at the forthcoming Delaque faction book and expansion kit. Titanicus might be a new titan, they've ramped up mentions of the Rapier recently, but equally it could be the promised Traitor Legios book and possibly something to do with corrupted/daemonic titans. Idoneth is a slam dunk for WHU though.

Warcry really is the wildcard though. Now they have books for the four GAs and a fairly brisk rate of online/WD updates to account for new faction expansions and BR campaigns, they have quite a bit of room left open for whatever comes next. Whatever it is, those sigils in the Catacombs book do seem pretty plausible as new warband leads.

Based on the quality of the reveals so far, here is my prediction for Saturday's reveals ... 

- uneccessary preview of next Friday's preview of the new TW3 game we all already know about

- 1 new model nobody asked for

- 7 models we've already seen

- progress report on several animated TV projects, none near completion

- a cryptic clue to something

- embarrassed presenters knowing they're being forced to hype sod all

- 37 minutes in length 

Reckon I have a half decent chance of being on the money here 🤣

Literally every online reveal now🤣 I honestly hoped Warhammer fest would be different. We should not being seeing teasers on these just show full range and host less of these events 🤷

[Chikout]

The old world is being made by Andy Hoare and the folks at specialist games. It falls broadly into the same category as Necromunda and blood bowl although the scale of the production will probably be larger. It is entirely possible we see something from it today. Personally I hope we both old world and Horus Heresy stuff today. It would clear the way for AoS 3 on Saturday.

Idoneth for Underworlds is a given.

Delaque book's almost as certain for Necromunda too.

Traitor Legios for Titanicus feels likely, so maybe the Possessed/Corrupted Titans as well? Although the probability of this is going to come down to if there's a model or not - the Warmaster has only just come out, but Traitor Legios might just be re-printing Warmaster rules and no new Titans.

Blood Bowl getting another team's seems probable given how often they release. 

That would cover their usual forty-minutes/ten-minute slot of reveal and PR talk.

I think you're right, that seems the most likely stuff for today's preview. 

These daily previews are shorter than the previous ones, so I wouldn't expect more than 3 video reveals + a bit of chat about them.

That would be even funnier if Hobgoblins are 3.0's launch Destruction army.

[Draznak]

Since Monday, they've presented two new releases each time: Soulblight / Broken Realms Kragnos for AoS (does the video game count ?) and Sororitas / Charadon Campaign for 40k. I don't count the Black Library yesterday as it's different. 

Tonight I'm betting on Idoneth (Underworlds) / Delaque (Necromunda) and nothing else.

Even funnier if it were tall hat hobgoblins.

I would like to see some new themes in Warcry terrain sets.

You joke, but I am pretty sure the Boxed Game day is going to have teasers for the video game Necromunda: Hired Gun. Which is fair, since the gameplay reveals of it so far look great.

it looks fine. The systems in the game looks really interesting and promising. Some animations look stiff in the trailer and we need to see more encounters to see how varied those maps are. I don't expect Hades level of level variety but I just hope it is not the same metalurgic facility every other run/quest. The concept is sound how it works out is another thing.
