Mostly Lumineth I would have thought, here’s my Iliatha test model I finished today.

It did come across as a little defensive but if it was simply because you are looking forward to the GHB then that’s cool you’re going to get something out of it. Personally, I’m going to give it a miss this year.

Sorry I promise I won’t have an opinion or say anything against GW again 🤣🤣🤣

To be honest it’s exactly what I expected. I’ve always felt that they’d run out of new ideas for the General’s Handbook and this year they finally have. Can the points value booklet be bought separately?

Im not a tournament player and my group play a mix of open, narrative and matches play. But the flying battles has been done before including a new mini game in White Dwarf recently and the narrative play section is for team battles. This has also been touched upon before and can easily be house ruled. Then the rest of the book from page 68-129 is all matched play with a lot of that rehashing battle plans and tournament packs from last year. When they started the General’s Handbook and said it would be released annually I did wonder how long they would be able to keep up with new content, for me this is the year they ran out.

Am I the only thinking the GHB looks a bit disappointing? Apart from the new points values I’m not really interested in any of it looking at that contents page.

This would make sense as it would coincide with the delayed release of White Dwarf which as we already know is at the end of June and full of Lumineth content.

Wow!! Shafted again 😢

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! 😢

Continue Living City for myself and Gloomspite/FEC/Mawtribes for friends I was hoping to include Lumineth on this list but we'll see...

That can't be true. I started collecting again in 2016 and I've only got Stormcast, Idoneth, Sylvaneth, Kharadron, Daughters of Khaine, Cities of Sigmar, AdMech armies (not to mention a realm of battle game board, lots of terrain Warcry and warbands, BlitzBowl and teams, Underworlds and warbands and Kill Team) 🤣🤣

No Army box this week 😪

Hahaha you're much braver than me. I sold off a massive collection of Greenskins and Lizardmen after my divorce in fear I'd never meet anyone again if they saw my collection (Don't worry Warhammer was only one factor of the relationship breaking down 😉). Luckily i then met someone who is as big a geek as me who actively encourages me (to justify her own Lego habit).

To be fair these record profits have been rising over the last couple of years and would be more to do with record numbers of people getting in to the hobby rather than the people who already played buying and paying more. When I started playing (mid 80's) I wouldn't have dared tell anyone outside of my friends who played about the hobby for fear of physical and painful reprisals. When I started again as an adult I would have a been a little embarrassed if any of my work colleague's knew I played with and painted little plastic figures. But now in 2020 I'm embarrassed for anyone who isn't enjoying Warhammer, D&D or board games in some way or other (although I would not beat them up for it 😉)

If you enjoy it what does it matter, all hobbies cost money. My wife has a serious Lego addiction and she spends every spare penny she has on it but our kids never go without so who cares? it makes her happy. Is our hobby more expensive than others? it can be but I have a few friends who have season tickets for their football team and travel all over Europe to support them. I've followed football for almost 40 years and barely spent a penny on it (I've been to less than 20 live matches) and the thought of spending thousands on travel and hotels, on top of the tickets just seems ludicrous to me. But that is their hobby so to them it's reasonable, the cost doesn't even factor. I have another friend who has literally spent thousands of pounds in the last couple of years on a mobile game, yes really. He doesn't regret a thing!! My mum's hobby is bingo, goodness knows how much she has spent on that over the years. I've been collecting and playing GW games off and on since the mid 80's and correct me if I'm wrong but has there ever been a time when this hobby as been anything other than expensive? 🤣😆

Hoping ours is the first release on 6th June, can't wait to get my hands on that sweet army box

I bought the Anvilguard start collecting box because I really wanted the Kharibdyss for my Living City but after painting it up (posted pictures last month’s contract) I didn’t feel it fit in. So I’ve instead allied it to my Idoneth Army, unfortunately I’m out of water effect so the bases aren’t finished but you get the idea

Yeah the ‘bumpy’ grass is due to me buying some cheap s*** flock from eBay and because of lockdown sort of had to work with what I had. I’ve managed to since get some more and started to apply patches of the better stuff to smooth it out. Luckily the bumps do pull off and leave it smoother underneath, it’s just going to be long process removing them all

It’s the Enduring Stormvault set from the Dominion of Sigmar scenery.

Finished my realm of battle gameboard, the verdant fields of Ghyran.

Yeah I'm still waiting on my copy of 453 but subscribers have had it about a week now. About time i subscribed again suppose

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/05/03/sunday-preview-tech-adepts-and-magic-armour/ the next White Dwarf has a Lumineth Battle report so they must be thinking of releasing them soon 😁

A bit gutted but certainly understandable

Are we expecting something new to order tonight with the preview? Or do you think it’ll be a week or two yet??
