Chikout

Well colour me disappointed. It is just what the said in March but with a little more detail. Free rules and annual updates are cool but it just what most people guessed. Could they not have sneaked in one new mini?

The next white dwarf isn't out till may 5th so it will go on preorder next weekend.

So I just bought the digital overlords battletome and the same set of rules is in the back, so I wouldn't read to much into the lack of rules in the physical book. Faeit is now saying it is not Ghb2. Just an hour to go. Personally hoping for shadow Aelves or a new campaign book.

Doing a major 40k announcement would steal the thunder from the biggest independent of AOS in the year. It would be a very bad time to announce that. ghb 2 date is almost a cert, but just a date is not enough to register as big news with me. A deep dive like they did for the overlords book would be cool. Showing off the next AOS faction would be even cooler.

They may just announce that the release date is July again. I believe they gave a fair amount of notice before the release date last time.

Pete Foley (head of books or something at GW) just posted this on twitter 'Good luck to everyone at #SCGT2017. Ill be watching from home?. Work calls, it's an exciting weekend for GW for more than one reason...' Ghb2 announcement confirmed?

Hot news from the warhammer underworlds Facebook page. 'Warhammer Underworlds is the game. Shadespire is the setting for the first season'!!!!! (exclamation marks added by me)

So Hastings called the Deathguard release including the extra models. It would seem his sources are still good.

Pete Foley confirmed on twitter confirmed that the community site will update after the second preview seminar which finishes at 11.30 pm Chicago time.

So that shadow war release date info comes from ministomp on Twitter who is an independent retailer who never gets things wrong. The date is accurate. That rumour pic is definitely an Aelf. I think we will see the full mini in 12 hours time.

I wouldn't write Hastings off. Sad panda of 100% rumour accuracy fame corroborated his nu marine rumour. Atia corroborated his BFG and mordheim rumours. He posted his cuthulhu Aelves rumour before the mask with unusual ears and the tentacles attacking Kharadron pics appeared. He is not perfect. he has made it clear that he does not see models himself but he obviously has at least one reliable source. (he accuratly predicted gsc a year ahead of time)We will know in just 25 hours time if his rumour pans out but I would put money on him being correct. Exciting times ahead.

Given that this is supposed to be the year of 40k, 4 battletomes in 4 months is very impressive. In three days time we should hear about even more upcoming battletomes.

A little tidbit from Hastings. There will be a new Mordheimesque game coming in 2018. No info if this is specialist games old world or studio Aos, but exciting nonetheless. It also suggests that Shadespire will be something different.

Anyone noticed this at the bottom of the picture? Looks like a hint of the Cthulhu inspired Aelves that Hastings mentioned.

It will probably be on preorder on the 25th and release in the first week of April.

Utterly amazing! Completely bonkers! love them all. and a new game too.

At least 2 rumour engine pics, white dwarf hints, plentiful hints in previous books and now this. Enough teasing! Show us the minis!!!

It is the same box just repackaged to appeal to new gamers. If you are already posting on here, it is probably not for you. I am guessing they are aiming for the £50 price range. This is small enough news that it has not even merited a post on the community website yet.

So it is confirmed that the mark iiis will go up for preorder next week and custodes the week after. (someone put the custodes ebook on black library a week early. Why is it always 40k that leaks and not aos?) Anyway that means that we will see Duardin preorders on the 25th and released in April alongside white dwarf. If the rumours of new 40k in June are true, we will probably see the mystery new Aos game in May.

Just seen a bit of potentially bad news for AoS fans. Some blurry photos of custodes and sos box sets just leaked. I am now guessing that they will be the 18th preorder with the Duardin saved for an unveiling at Adepticon and a March 25th preorder. This is just a guess but it seems likely.

I guess someone got to Sad Panda. Hastings posts in the comments on Atia's blog. In the last couple of months GW has been pretty good at doing previews reasonably ahead of time. The next release (steamhead presumably) has been the exception. It is possible, as someone said, that they don't want to divert attention from gathering storm 3 which is a very big release for them. At the latest we will see retailer info next Monday, but I will be very surprised if we don't see something official before then. Regarding the rumour engine pic, it is almost certainly a board tile, probably from the game they are planning to show off at Adepticon. Gw's recent boardgames have been great and have really revitalised my interest in the hobby. Just 2 weeks until the big reveal. I hope they steam it.

I think it is a tile from a new board game, perhaps the game they will show at adepticon.

The second game on warhammer live tonight is Stormcast vs mixed order. Would be cool if they sneaked an airship into that battle.

Hastings popped up over on Atia's blog to say that it looked like the shadow Aelves. He made it clear that he has not seen any models just been told about them. The somewhat tentacle like ears may be a hint. He also said that there was at least one airship in the Duardin release (maybe a dual build) and that he expects them at the end of March. He said he has not seen those models either. Really hoping force reveal in the next 2 or 3 days.

Just incase there is any doubt about what is coming next, here is another hint.I
