Age of Sigmar will likely see Idoneth Deepkin, and hopefully Death. But when it comes to major announcements, what would be bigger than a dual announcement based on the Dark Prince? Codex: Emperor's Children and Battletome: Hosts of Slaanesh, featuring the all new plastic KoS, plastic Fiends, and for 40K, Fulgrim himself! 

Probably a pipe dream, but still.

It would be cool but I think that's for next year. I suspect the story will be pushed forwards in both games before they do a reveal like that. Especially with 40K as they need to finish getting all the codexes out and I think if they tease the Adeptus Sororitas the internet will explode!! But we don't talk about that space game here ;)

What about a boxed Titanicus game?

I remember bits were previewed from FW a little while ago, but seems like its gone quiet since then.

I think the game is done but they are looking at producing more plastics for it. I think it's one of those games where if they can get the core stuff available in plastics it will just print money. I believe that the game is good to go but I suspect they are doing extra quality control over it, especially with some of the typos and mess ups with Necromunda. But again, it's a space game so we don't talk about it here ;)

I think if they were going to preview something like Adeptus Titanicus they would have done it at Gamma.   That is indeed a very bold statement about the reveals, but I would be surprised if they fully announced AoS2 as you'd imagine it might put a dampner on idoneth excitement,  maybe a very minimal tease?

Oh yeah, I forgot they teased them aaaages ago! I'll go for plastic Sisters in a plastic thunderhawk, with Squats and Fishmen!

1) Not only safe bet but certainty: Deepkin reveal with miniatures (not certain though if exhibition of the whole range)

2) New starter set announcement and content tease. I don’t think there will be a real reveal of content

3) WH: UW 2 announcement, no reveal of content

I have seen a suggestion on Twitter (I can't remember who so sorry), where it was suggested Nagash is after the souls within Slaanesh and is cooking up a scheme to release him/her/it. I suspect it will go wrong and Slaanesh is either released or the prison is cracked and Slaanesh can wiggle his/her/its toe out of the crack (It's the toe and nothing else!!! ;) ).

I do know that I'm going to be fast asleep when it drops xD

I think it'll be a 3-way split.  Deepkin for AoS, new Primarch for 40k and something else - I don't think Adeptus Titanicus (I think that'll be FW Open Day), but could see the next Necro gang being announced.  I think anything we've seen preview/teaser videos for will also be on display - so Van Saar as an example.  Probably find out the next couple of Codex releases (i.e. ones with no models).  I'd not be surprised to see a battletome done like this (moonclan?)

That's my bet as well, also they could announce AoS 2 with starter 

Also I guess we will get next 2-3 codexes for Wh40k (possibly Harlequins) and maybe new army - my crazy bet Ynnari - as they could just make 2-3 boxes release (like Custodes) as there was rumored SpiritseerWraightKnight (and there is rumor engine that fits) and such thing just fits Ynnari like a glove.

Phew, I am hyped! I am expecting a lot and as a AoS and 40K fan it seems that horrible times are coming for my wallet!

 

So in exactly how many hours from now is it? Thanks ;-)

9h 35 min to studio preview

10h 35 min to wrap-up

1) Slaanesh!

Basically the same as Gaz's prediction, but I'll throw in a model reveal!

Slaanesh will come this year, but we will not see it yet.

2) Deathcast Eternals!!

I'm going to keep banging on about this until it's a thing. You cannot resist it. It is inevitable!!!

Please no - horrible concept let Death have their own thing, not a rip off of SE and in extation of the whole Chaos SM concept

 

1 hour ago, Jamie the Jasper said:

3) Mordheim!!!

Why? Because they say that this will be bigger than the reveal of a new edition of 40K so surely that has to be the highly anticipated relaunch of an old favourite? It will be called something else and will be ported over to the AoS setting, but it will still be about rich narrative/skirmish play with warbands that develop over time. I also predict that this is what @bottle has been secretly working on up in Nottingham! :D

NExt Specialised Game will be Adeptus Titanicus - Mordhime is far out, and might be replaced by Shadespire.

Chaos can wait, especially the least popular chaos faction

None did mention Iron Warriors, so why bring them up :-P.

POKE - I'm guessing this is a tongue in cheek but it also reads as very sarcastic. Just think a bit when replying please ;)

This doesn't need to be a Specialist Game at all. The main studio can easily do this, especially if there are more new terrain kits on the way. Also quite an easy release to do as they just package up the new terrain kits with some existing kits and bam! Age of Sigmar Mordheim

Na, Mordheim will be an SG, FW already said so on one of their events. And for a main studio release Shadespire fills the slot nicely even though not as a carbon copy with a re-imagined setting. Mordheim will be released in the same format as Necromunda or BB - old setting, updated rules and redesigned miniatures - when and if it comes!

I get it Gaz and I'll tread carefully, but having your tongue-in-cheek 'predictions' shot down in a high-handed and presumptuous way is arrogant and rude - I think that invites a little light sarcasm.

As an American, I'm happy that the timing works out for me. I live in the Central Time Zone.

LOL. I'll be honest, I would love it to be a UK timing but due to work and family I wouldn't see it until much later anyway. So timing works for me too! :D

Noted but just remember that everybody who visits here comes from different backgrounds and have different ideas about 'light' sarcasm (which is always hit and miss in the written format!). A nice example is I've know my wife a third of my life and know her very well but I still get 'moderated' with some of my tongue in cheek comments! :( 

Anyway, lets get back to being excited about toy soldiers! :D

AoS - Deepkin reveal with most but not all models, similar to Dok at LVO, some teasers for the summer - maybe the looming outcome of Nagash shenanigans, the rumoured new death fraction and SE, but nothing concreat

40K - reveal of outstanding codexes, tease and first miniatures of a new faction, probably some Eldar subfaction, hopefully Sisters (but those more as a joke) or the next loyal Primarch and his sons (please let it be Russ and his pupps)

SG - Titanicus, maybe first teasers for Shadespire S2

All in all there are more unknown factors at play than known, the planed program probably will have changed and grown, probably being a bit more AOS-y than originally intended due to the Open day cancellation.
