They will probably have a copy of his warscroll in White Dwarf I bet so even if we don't get the rules online early it would be whenever those people with early access to WDs get them. 

85!!! 85 for the darktide game!!!!! 

The game better be amazing to justify that price for 9 models and some card pieces.

Oh damn, this image is extremely rad! (I say this as a non-dwarf fan)

I also thought it was 9 at the beginning, but they are 20:

Between the heroes and villains, you get a full 20 miniatures in the box – plenty for an afternoon or three of gritty spec ops missions. 

It is still pricey, but better 20 than 9.

4chan leaks jokes are always funny, but I had forgotten about the BFG rumours and I got all giddy again thinking about a reworked BFG. If I can't have decent GW ship battles, I'm fine with having decent GW spaceship battles! 🤩

I'd love to see Battlefleet again and really surprised why GW don't do a print to order with it (and other games) from time to time.

I'm hoping we'll see a BFG reboot, even if it is only Heresy initially (which based off Legions Imperialis seems realistic). However part of me does hope they'll have made a conscious effort to sort out production capacity before announcing another game that will be sold out for months five minutes before pre-order.

New Prosecutors.

There are still plenty of new miniatures for the Skaven and Stormcast Eternals, and next week, we’ll be showing off another reimagined unit developed by the Clans Skryre. Later today, we’ll also be previewing rules from the first General’s Handbook, and we’ve got a wealth of Spearhead coverage to come.

For some reason those non-mask/faceplate helmets seem wrong on those Stormcast.

I kind of like them. It makes the unit look more distinct and lends them a Hoplite-look which fits their weaponry.

Extremely rad models but adding dice to charge rolls is very interesting!

JEZZAILS FOR NEXT MONDAY GUYS

Not enough dynamic to me, but still better that the old ones

maybe I am missing some nuance between adding a dice and rolling 3d6, but they already had the same rule.

As for the minis, I am not a fan of the tactical columns in general, other than that Prosecutors are a cool concept and these are a nice improvement.

I expect there'll be a multipart kit like the annihilators in 3rd, with full masks and different poses

Hum. It is curious how the trailer showed masked SCE but those are closer to CoS than SCE IMO. Also, the wings feel a bit strange. The trident is also a curious pick.

I'm really liking the blend of ancient roman/greek and medieval astrological/alchemical art the new stormcast have going on. They look so distinct now, really unlike anything from any other game.

I'm liking the Valkyire/ Ancient greek vibe with them, with the "Grimdark" chainmail and tassles. They look miles better then the old chunky ones and don't look like they will fall over when placed on a slight incline. 

going off this and the last few boxes that means the tormcast side of the box will be. 
The lord of big bird (as the centre piece model) 
1 0r 2 foot heroes 
10 Liberators 
3 of those dudes with shields 
3 prosecutors 
"MAYBE" some ranged unit of 5. 

Skaven will probaly be 
Claw lord on the rat monster
the big Rat Ogre 
the leaked heavy weapon
Warlock engineer with Rife
Warplock Jezzails 
40 Clanrats 
Another unkown hero.

Could be masked and unmasked head options in the kit itself. IIRC the Dominion Stormcast had a bunch of helmeted and unhelmeted heads with them.

it's already the special weapon of choice for javelin prosecutors ("Stormsurge Trident")

Personally I think it's something they needed. When Stormcast first appeared and they were hidden behind faceplates, I thought they would be disfigured monsters but they weren't.  

 

Really like these. But we have a BUT.....

I think the Javelins should be painted in a glowing aether effect!

It allows this ability to interact with opponent's abilities that subtract dice, but it is otherwise more or less the same. I think writing it this way prevents situations where you roll 3d6 and your opponent triggers their "make them roll 1d6" ability and you just get trumped by it. Overall it's nice and makes those abilities more intuitive in their interaction.

Btw, I find it kind of anoying that the new Grombindal mini isn't meant to be used in TOW on gw terms

It's proxy time, guys!!!

Yeah, it reminded me of Greek soldiers instantly, but there's something odd about changing entirely how SCE have been looking previously. With helmet or without. Now we have something in between.
