News time! New shadespire warbands go up for pre-order on April 7th. Maybe that means we will get season 2 soon.

Care of shadeglass.co.uk. The next two warbands are out on April 14th. Season 2 in the summer perhaps?

The avatar’s armor is painted up in the default de scheme. So it’s official the de are being ported into fantasy. I think this is the first time I’ve seen a 40k army ported into AoS. Lore wise I’m sure they are vastly different, but rules and look wise they seem similar.
Aren't the Dark Eldar just Dark Elves ported into 40k? I am pretty sure they used the Dark Eldar colour scheme first.

Adding one damage to the stormshoal would be pretty good. 2d6 attacks with 2 damage and a 3 inch range would be great against hordes.

Ooh. I just gasped out loud on a Japanese convenience store! I like that alternate head on the avatar a lot better.

It is 40k scenery. The plastic has that slightly shiny finish to it the the other scenery plastic has.

I feel like it is more than a little early to start panicking. Even if everything rumoured is true, we don't know how these rules will interact with other elements of the game, especially magic.
We could easily have more magical opportunities to buff or debuff combats or ways to deny or influence charges.
Thematically going first after a successful charge makes sense. This makes positioning for both attackers and Defenders more important.
There is so far no indication that piling in will change so there are plenty of tricks you could use to counter a charge.
In subsequent phases alternating activations would presumably happen as they do now.

I’ve heard nothing regarding slaanesh models
While you are answering questions, have you heard anything about Moon Clan?

I am very curious how they are going to handle new stormcast. They did a battletome, then a mini battletome, then a third battletome that brings it all together. Are they going to do another mini battletome, and if so will they introduce new battleline units to make it viable or reprint some of the warscrolls from the main book or something else?
Miniature wise each subsequent version of the stormcast has got better, so, despite the inevitable cries of despair at more Stormcast and more Order, I am looking forward to seeing them.

Just noticed that one of the armies chosen for tale of 4 warlords in white dwarf this time was Daughters of Khaine. Makes you wonder what is coming for Malignants (the death army chosen)
Well if battletome Malignants is next, just wanted to say that I called it 2 months ago!!! (Though this may be a little early for gloating).
Very curious to see how many kits they get. A dual build troop choice which will look exactly like that Shadespire card, a multibuild black coach kit and .....? One more kit would put them in line with daughters of Khaine, sylvaneth etc.

have they actally said the eels and the sharks are different box kit as it look to me as if they are the same kit with a head and fin swap to change the mounts
If you look at this pic you can see that the shark is quite a bit fatter and on a different base. It is definitely a different kit.

So, over 500 more new cards (more than the first "wave") and a nem (expansion) symbol.
Exactly 120 more cards, so 10 factions this time then. I am really glad this has done well enough to get a season two. I have all six warbands currently available but collecting 18 sounds like a lot. I may have to start being selective especially as I will be investing hundreds of pounds into the Deepkin.
-
Looking at that video I count.
Foot guys (dual build?)
Archers (dual build?)
Eels (dual build!)
Big eels with two riders (dual build?)
Big turtle (4 builds apparently)
Big water cloak guy (dual build apparently )
Sea horse guy
Big helmet pilot light guy
Octopus bodyguard lady
Jumping lady
Bald staff guy.
Scenery.
That is eleven kits so far. GW have confirmed there is more we haven't seen yet.
Guess that 8 kit rumour was false. What an amazing release. This will be the army I spend the next two years building and painting for sure.

Those Idoneth look absolutely stunning and I can't wait to see the full black coach picture . It really is shaping up to be an amazing year for Age of Sigmar.
-
I am going to say idoneth Deepkin which is a holdover from the AOS open day so doesn’t count as one of the three. New AOS starter set featuring all new death faction and a new Stormcast chamber, Slaanesh versus sisters of battle campaign biz and a full Adeptus titanicus unveiling.
-
We’ve got what is quite possibly the biggest and best Studio Preview ever planned for AdeptiCon – and last year, we announced the new edition of Warhammer 40,000!
To make sure you don’t miss out, we’ll be wrapping up the Studio Preview on Facebook Live on Wednesday at 9:00 pm (US Central Time). Make sure to like the Warhammer TV Facebook page to check it out.
I don't think it is possible to be any more hyped for a GW event.
11 hours 35 minutes to go!

Have there been any reputable murmurs about Exodites, or is that just your hope?
Nope. Just hopes and dreams.
Realistic possibilities are imperial Knights, adeptus Titanicus, orks or Slaanesh.
For AoS Deepkin are pretty much guaranteed with a possibility of new starter set or a new death faction.
There is a very small chance we will hear about warhammer underworlds season two.
GW said at lvo that there would be three new things at Adepticon. The question is whether Deepkin was part of the three or was added due to the cancellation of the aos open day.
Either way I will be happy to finally see the new Deepkin. Anything else is a bonus.
-
Just 24 hours till the adepticon seminar starts. Hoping for a full Idoneth reveal, a hint at the new starter and Eldar exodites for 40k.

I wonder if we will get another teaser before the reveal. The daughters of Khaine got two animated teasers before their big reveal at LVO.
Another little drip of info at the weekend would keep the hype boat afloat until the reveal next week.
-
I like both sets partly because they are not too unique. With both stormcast and khorne you can buy the two warbands, add a hero each and you have two pretty decent skirmsih warbands.

Lunch presentation going on now (streamed from a phone, cant see too much), new bloodbowl team, showing off the two new shadespire forces (vanguard and khorne).
Kill team expansion (40k), organized play structure. DEEPKIN...announced but nothing more...literally nothing more.
Interesting. Is this online? What is the bloodbowl team?

So the floor should be open now shouldn’t it? Haven’t heard anything.
The exhibitor area opens in an hour. After some earlier optimism I am starting to suspect we won't hear anything.

Yes, I must admit that so am I. Between the unfortunate cancellation of the Open Day (which made us obviously miss some news) and GAMA where nothing was shown, I'm starving for shiny new toys !
On a more positive tone, adepticon is very soon and we should see something.
I still think we will see some stuff from Gama. Cancelling was open day unfortunate but promising reveals at Gama then showing nothing would be pretty bad form.

Seminar would have ended nearly 10 minutes ago, I don't think we're getting anything from GAMA at this point. With Adepticon so close and them being building up to that event instead. I'm no longer expecting any reveals this week.
Gw explicitly said there would be reveals at gama. I took this pic from the event guide pdf.
This does not look like a situation to make reveals. The exhibitor booths will be open tomorrow and Thursday afternoon. It seems likely that this will be the way the new reveals will be shown. The recent reveals of Forgebane and space marine adventures first game from products being shown in event booths.

So I have been doing a bit of thinking about the rest of the year and it seems at this point that we can pretty accurately predict what is coming for the rest of the year.
So far confirmed we have
April- Deepkin and Shadespire
Spring -bloodbowl chaos, Van saar Necromunda, imperial Knights with minis, Harlequins, deathwatch.
Summer- aos magic, nighthaunt, new bloodbowl and Necromunda, genestealer cults, orks, space wolves
Autumn new bloodbowl and Necromunda, adeptus Titanicus (99% confirmed) ghb2018
Winter- chapter approved 2018
No date yet- kill team with new scenery, Shadespire season 2
Not confirmed but highly likely :
New aos starter, new stormcast minis and book, ork minis, scenery bundles, new battleforces
Possible: new 40k legion, space Wolf minis, Gorkamorka
That schedule does not leave much room for surprises. I think therefore that we will not see another battletome after stormcast/ nighthaunt in 2018.
