The raptors and aetherwings are coming this weekend £20 or $35US for a box containing 3 of each. The human team and a new plastic ogre for bloodbowl are coming this weekend too.

That is the week after. There is currently a missing week with just one known release. (The Feb 25th preorder)

So it seems that next week we will get a combo box of aetherwings and raptors. Rob talked about on warhammer live and the pic of the raptors on the app has 3 aetherwings in the background. That seems like a pretty minimal release. This week we got 2 Stormcast boxes, warhammer quest and slambo. Last week was the Stormcast book, cards, 2 units and death world scenery. We must be getting something else next week.

So the cogsmith in warhammer Quest has a shiny new paint scheme. (gold) I believe there was a rumour engine pic with a very similar colour scheme. (gold) Wonder what that means... Stormcast Duardin obviously!

Liking the palladors more each time I see them and we have a bareheaded option for the aquilor.

It is clear that this box is a reaction to the success of silver tower. I don't think this product was Greenlit until after silver tower was released. 9 months is a very fast turnaround. Sculpting a bunch of new mini's would delay the release for at least a year. Looking around the Internet last year, the chief complaints about silver tower were the overly specific tiles, the lack of a proper campaign element and the slightly dragged out Ai phase. The box seems explicitly designed to answer those complaints. If they listened to people's complaints last time I hope they listen to my upcoming slew of emails asking for a card only version of this game.

Miniwars eu just posted that this week's preorders are the Lord aquilor for €32 (same price as the azyros) the palladors on gryph chargers for €45(same price as the blight kings. They did not mention the contents but I assume it is 3) and shadows over Hammerhal for €120, which lines up with the leaked uk price.

It is definitely coming out soon as it is in next months white dwarf. what everyone has been calling a slaughter priest looks much more like a reaver champion to me. They are using the same sprues from the box sets so having sets of 5 and 10 makes sense. The user on Dakka typed it up themselves (possibly from an order sheet which retailers would be getting about now) so that explains the spelling mistake. The minis cost about £130 individually so it is a discount. There are also 5 more board tiles in the new box. Of course I would love more minis and a lower price but I expect this to turn out to be true.

Check this out. Taken from dakka. Not impressed by the minis, but looking forward to seeing the new rules and board sections. I think I would have preferred it to be a card only expansion. Didn't see this posted before - regarding the new Warhammer Quest: WARHAMMER QUEST: SHADOWS OVER HAMMERHALL Warhammer Quest: Shadows over Hammerhall is a stand-alone boxed game for 2-5 players set in the splendid city of Order – Hammerhall. Up to 4 players can quest in the catacombs and dungeons below the city, while another acts as game master, setting fiendish obstacles, controlling the antagonists (monsters) and setting the story – it’s up to this player to take charge of revealing the secrets each dungeon has to offer. The game is fully compatible with the Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower game and the Hero Cards. Any miniatures or rules the customer already owns for that game can also be used in this game. In addition, the game has a lot of replay-ability, as character level up and increase their skills as you play. The box contains 31 miniatures, including: 1x Lord Castellant and Gryph Hound 1x Cogsmith 1x Black Art Fleetmaster 1x Loremaster 1x Chaos Sorcerer Lord 5x Putrid Blightkings 10x Kairic Acolytes 10x Bloodreavers 1x 72 page guide book 1x 32 page adventure book 18x double sides board sections 55x cards 12x dice A variety of counters and markers for tracking your heroes as they gain experience and skills under the city of Hammerhall £90, on sale 25th Feb.

Andy Clark the GW writer who worked on the story for silver tower and Slyvaneth battletome, posted this on twitter. Hope he is writing a Duardin novel.

Come and live in Japan. I have recieved every single issue on the Thursday before release. The only downside is that the subscription costs double. Regarding release dates it seems to be as follows. Stormcast battle 4th vanguard hunters and gryph hounds 11th remaining Stormcast releases. Aqulior, pallaodrs, aether wings, and the shooty guys 18th and 25th (probably) 40k stuff 4th March warhammer quest 11th March (probably) That would put the Duardin on the 18th. all these are preorder dates.

Forget all this 40k nonsense. I want to see page 8

Lots of craziness going on in 40k but worth pointing that the leaked images confirm that the new warhammer Quest game is coming in March. No pic of contents and no sign of Duardin yet.

Fair enough. I did say a LITTLE more credibility. As a side note, I wonder If Slaanesh has been gradually corrupting their captors, during their imprisonment. It would be a cool way to introduce the return of Slaanesh, allied with their one time enemies.

So.. Regarding that rumour about Duardin, Aelves and Slaanesh, I found that post on Facebook and was reading through the comments. One user said that it matched what he had heard. Feeling slightly creepy, I clicked through to see who this guy was. It was then that a name on this guys friend list jumped out. It was none other than John Blanche. (turns out John is his middle name- who knew?) Anyway, this is a very roundabout way of saying that this rumour may actually have a little credibility.

Well, the rumour of upcoming releases seems somewhat logical. The very first teaser image from GW suggests duardin. We know that gathering storm book 3 is coming after the vanguard releases. That would allow the duardin to come at the end of the month. Then we have warhammer quest in April and 8th edition in time for warhammer fest in May. Silver tower had two Aelves so we know they are being concepted at least. The Slaanesh bit seems the most problematic. It has been heavily hinted by Atia that we will see Nurgle stuff in the autumn for 40k. Three chaos gods in one year seems excessive.

Presumably in this case the Tzeentch player would focus on buffing spells. Can anyone read the restrictions on the chamber? It looks like it says must include at least six somethings. I wonder if that prevents it from being used in 2000 point battles. We also don't know how much these special rules will cost.

Using battalions is a good idea as it frees the rules from the paint schemes. I can paint my Stormcast pink, but because I use the appropriate battalions, I can take advantage of the special rules.

I wonder if we will see a joint book with the fyreslayers built in. It would be a good chance to update them to the new rules with allegiance abilities etc. It would also be a good time to do a start collecting box.

Not sure if this has been shared but the skies above chamon are mentioned again in the tzeentch book. Grot scuttlings are also mentioned as a separate faction allied with some bonesplittas.

Some pictures from the digital sample on the black library website. Alternate heads for the loc and new horrors. Still no Kairos though?

This month's white dwarf is a week later. The official release date is January 6th, presumably to avoid shipping around New Year.

It is definitely not Azyr. As mentioned in the live stream Sigmar has established some new cities in the realms of fire and life. Tzeentch implanted cults in these cities as they were founded. What we are seeing in the art is likely one of these new cities which explains the slightly better condition of the architecture. Regarding that art, the only thing that will stop me starting a Tzeentch army, is the temptation to do a Duardin army. A box set featuring them both would solve my dilemma nicely.

With the name change it seems that they will add demons; maybe a loc too?

Already have prime, but used it to sub to warhammer live. Really looking forward to today's show.
