So any guesses for this Saturday other than more aelves and possibly giants (tho I don't think we'll see them until what would have been warhammerfest)
New bloodbowl team?
Next battlebox?
New campaign book?
Something completely out of left field?
This is what I love about AoS. Give me something new, something other games don't have. If I want high elves or normal dwarves, I'll play warhammer (and I love warhammer armies, I'm building a 4th edition dark elf army).
Give me eel riding soul stealers, flying dwarf investment bankers and hammer wielding, bull worshiping aelves who seek validation from a living mountain any day!
I'm loving its not just a carbon copy of the old high elves and its something different.
Plenty of other games have generic elves so let's have something different. I'm excited and curious what they have in store for shadow elves.
High elves are dead. Long live the Lumieneth Realm Lords.
Myself and some friends on instagram are taking a trip down memory lane and collecting armies from our childhood.
I'm doing dark elves, some amazing models which still hold up.
I will add pics here as I finish units but if anyone wants to join in, I'm @jamie07 on instagram and we're using #flashbacktofantasy
Here's what I'm managed to collect after a couple of weeks trawling eBay.
Painted stuff is taking a bath right now.
So excited to get these done!!
Good for them closing and looking after their staff, while we're all eager to get our hands on their latest shiny toys, the well being of all the staff is by far more important.
I've no doubt they will have planned for this and while everyone can moan like a nighthaunt kicked out of tomb sometimes, the hobby community is a overall positive one and we'll all get through this. I'm looking forward to seeing all the cool stuff people get up working through their piles of shame!!
People will moan regardless; show to little get flamed for hyping to much, show lots and people complain when it's not released within a month.
Go in with no expectations and enjoy the show.
In regards to shipping and stuff, we all have to be flexible and understanding in these unprecedented times. I think GW would keep everyone informed if there are delivery issues.
But you don't have to have greenskins in 2 of them, ogres and trolls.
A huge strength of AoS is the variety of army builds you can make, I love seeing fully themed and wacky armies on the table.
I'm all for them being a faction, the models would be amazing.
I still think we'll see some sort of goblins with the Sons. Thinking about it, the idea of goblins flying ships to talk/worship/feed the giants really appeals to me 😂
I see these mentioned factions not as hints to come but as inspiration of what you can do.
Grotbag scuttlers are already a thing, convert a khardron army.
Underwater sylvaneth are already a thing, convert some deepkin.
Of course it's not beyond the realm of possibility that these will be released but I think it's more an inspiration thing.
Once they update the WarCom site today I'm sure there will be a banner saying when to check back
Edit
Gazza and ragnar are being revealed at 5pm which would also be 9am at the gama show so probably will all be shown then.
My fortune telling skills are getting better!
And damn it GW, you actually got me excited for something about 40k with the wolf vs the beast!
Hoping to see the DoK warband at the gama reveals to get this sci fi nonsense out of my head and bring me back to mortal realms!
My guess would be the remaining sisters previewed tonight and psychic awakening next week (looks like gazghull is being revealed tomorrow). That will take us up to adapicon and the next round of previews.
Aside from Lumineth and giants for AoS, and a Orruks and DoK warband for underworlds we have no idea what is coming after.
What GW has done in the past or what they are doing with 40k with psychic awakening is irrelevant as we don't know what is coming, which I find really exciting!!
Bring on the unknown and blow our minds!!!
A box of cool models at a discounted price.
This box gives you a hero and 2 units, you're set to play.
Don't forget not everyone plays match play, not to mention not everyone plays, some just paint.
I love the box, put a further 20% discount when buying from independents and you get the squigs for free.
