  1. Doesn't help that someones cross-posted screenshots from this thread, so we're probably getting brigaded now.
  2. I think he's likely asking for the USA, which has multiple timezones, but only a single GW webstore. Edit: After some digging, I *think* it's 1 PM Eastern, Noon Central, 10 AM Pacific.
  3. The vertical coherency is mostly for terrain. If some models are on a cliff, they're still in coherency with models on the ground as long as the cliff is less than 6 inches.
  4. I thought it was capped at one bonus. Gavriel Sureheart gives +3 to charge rolls, at least in second edition.
  5. With their reroll on charge rolls, Anihilators have an 82.6% chance to make a 7-inch charge. Falls to a 66%.0 chance if they kill the nearest models with the mortal wounds on drop and have to charge 8 inches instead. With a +1 to charge (From hallowed knights allegiance, e.g.), it's 92.3%, with +3 it's 99.3%.
  6. Also, the Grimdark Live people said that June 19th, July 3rd, July 17th, and August 7th were all days to watch out for. We know June 19th and July 3rd. I think it's likely we get either big preorders, previews, or releases on the 17th and the 7th as well.
  7. The models announced alongside indomitus came out in September, alongside the codices for the Necrons and the Space Marines. Hopefully there's less delay between the edition launch and the full codexes this time around.
  8. The Indomitus box is about 1000 points, so Dominion will likely need pretty significant filling out to make a full list. The other big models they’ve previewed will probably help, but I doubt they’ll go all the way.
  9. The preorder date is getting announced tomorrow, most likely for some later Saturday in June.
  10. I think it's more probable we'll see a longer window between the preorder announcement and preorder, not shorter. GW did a similar thing with Indomitus, announcing the July 11th Preorder on July 1st, then releasing 2 weeks after preorder, on July 25th. We might not get the two-week preorder window, given that it was pretty much completely superfluous as Indomitus sold out in 15 minutes, especially if they have no plans to do an emergency made-to-order run. It makes sense to give customers (and marketing) more lead time on a big hype product, rather than less. Edit: There's also a second wave of Sisters releases likely to go up for preorder next week, and potentially the Beast Snaggas box as well. I think it's most likely we get the Dominion preorder announced for June 19th, with release on either June 26th or July 3rd.
  11. I think it might make sense for them to get a similar rule for their boats. Would probably take a new codex for that to happen though.
  12. Given that we have another rumor engine that looks like a cultist holding a detonator, maybe we have a unit of saboteurs, one of which has a prosthetic leg from handling explosives.
  13. The Sprue with Yndrasta contains the Knight-Vexillor and the Anihilators too, so I think they’d have trouble making that work in a single set. Pretty sure the Mounted Killaboss is on a sprue with the crossbowmen and Murknob. The Knight Arcanum is on a sprue with the foot Killaboss, and the Lord Imperator is on a sprue with the Kruleboy Shaman. I think the Recruit Edition equivalent will have the Knight Arcanum and 5 Vindictors, and the Foot Killaboss with either 10 Gutrippaz or 10 Hobgrots. Then the Elite Edition will have the Lord Imperator, 5 Vindictors, and 3 Praetors, plus the Kruleboy Shaman, 10 Gutrippaz, and 10 Hobgrots. If the command edition is like in 40K, it will probably just have the elite edition minis plus terrain.
  14. Love everything except the limited run. Hopefully they've either made enough to actually fill the hype or end up doing a M2O run if it sells out like Indomitus.
  15. Looks like our mounted hero from the blurry image
  16. The 40k starters use the same sprues as the Indomitus box. Only the Get Started with 40k package and the Learn to Paint kits use non-standard unit sizes.
  17. 9 AM in the East Coast, but 6 AM in the West. Unfortunately, NZ, AUS, and Asia are only around 10% of GW's revenue, while North America is nearly 40%. North Ameria, UK, and Europe are nearly 90% of GW's revenue, so it makes sense to pick a compromise time that works okay for both regions. 18:00 UK time is 10:00 in the Western US and 20:00 in Eastern Europe, so it's something between prime time and moderately inconvenient for most of GW's customer base. Edit: All times are Summer time, not sure how it works for countries that don't practice Daylight Savings. Edit 2: Figured I'd source my revenue claims. Not sure about their ultimate sources https://www.statista.com/statistics/994065/games-workshop-sales-worldwide-region/
  18. The old time was really early in the morning in America, now it's at noon where I live. I can watch it during my lunch break during the week, or sleep in on the weekend. Much more convenient for me.
  19. I think the skull is part of a headdress above his actual head
  20. Quality Assurance, i.e. editing and playtesting.
  21. So far, the marketing cycle is pretty much identical to that of the Indomitus Box, which went up for preorder in early July for a late July release, with a longer than usual preorder window.
