The Rumour Thread


Recommended Posts

I would imagine, from a business perspective, that it makes no sense to hype up a release when you've just pushed out a release that's from the same Grand Alliance and even the same sub-group as the DoK and Deepkin are.  EDIT: I'm holding off DoK because Deepkin sound more intriguing!

I have known people who work at GW and products are around for a good while before released, and will have product codes, or will even be manufactured and in the warehouse long before announcement!

Can't believe they won't show us anything - as mentioned above there is so many things they can show and it didn't need to be Vampire Aelves :P

There are a lot of factors at trade shows like this.  What they said in the past is of low importance if business models and financials say today is a bad day to release.

Yes you're right but GW said by themselves that there would be some major previews at Gamma :P

with what other companies present at Gama, it would make much sense for GW to take a chunk out of the cake as well - don't show 40k or AoS but boxed games as well as Specialised games. These appeal more to the target demographic interested in Gama. But the radio silence right now is a bit scary...

I think this is a major reason why gw need to manage their pre-release marketing a bit better. Already this year we've had DoK steal the thunder of LoN, who stole the thunder of MoN before them... We've got people on this thread more interested in what comes after Idoneth Deepkin, a faction for which we've not yet even seen models for!  This costs sales!

My personal approach is that i cant afford the new stuff so im at a lag of 2-3 years - just started fyreslayers when they finally got a start collecting box ?

"The Mortal Realms are abuzz with whispers of who – or what – the Idoneth Deepkin are. Here's the last remaining testimony of one unfortunate seeker – perhaps it bears some hints to their true identity?"

Maybe yes, maybe no. I guess they want to release as much AoS as they can as they release remaining codexes for Wh40k, as when they will start releasing whole new lines for Wh40k there won't be much space for AoS so I think that they are not concerned at all. Also maybe it's just me but I've waited for long for Elves that I've already bought a lot of DoK boxes and will buy everything Idoneth (if it looks good :D) 

Haha GW is having fun with us :D brilliant, I want them released as late as possible anyway :P

No. That’s kind of the joke of the whole thing (it’s not really a Troggoth being spoken about, it’s the Idoneth). 

If no my ass will burn like hell ( No update for destruction comming in next months and they joke like this...

Lunch presentation going on now (streamed from a phone, cant see too much), new bloodbowl team, showing off the two new shadespire forces (vanguard and khorne).

Kill team expansion (40k), organized play structure. DEEPKIN...announced but nothing more...literally nothing more.

Yep( Last year i just wait update for my armies for aos and 40k because of new battletomes for other factions.... Very hard play for ironjawz or bcr when all other factions in local club have new battletomes (

Doesn't look like anything is online yet. I was watching a stream from someones phone who was there, everything was super blurry, so I don't even want to hazard a guess as to what the bloodbowl team was...
