Yes I can see this happening now you have mentioned it. All it needs is some of the lovely terrain sets that GW are making now and use some of the existing models. This would be very cool if it happens. I used to love Mordheim

Ooh you snuck that in before my post! That sounds really cools but for us in the UK this translates to 2am! I doubt I can stay up that late but I will get up extra early to see if I can watch in full!

Okay so lets do a prediction time..... Lets all make three predictions for the Adepticon Seminar and see how many we can get right. I'll go first.... 1) Idoneth Deepkin Quite a safe one due to the rumours and teases from GW. I'm expecting a reveal showing off some of the cool models and bit of discussion about who and what they are. I'm personally hoping for some sort of bio mechanical monsters as half the Deepkin are withered husks and need to be in environment suits (basically like a Dalek), whilst the remaining Aelf ones survive because they consume the souls of others and able to stay Aelf. So a bit Dark Eldar (or whatever they are called now) and bit Dalek. I'm hoping for a tiered release in April with preorders going up next weekend (just as White Dwarf comes out). 2) Story Progression Again another safe one as the Dread Solstice enters the last week tomorrow but I think we will see some good hints around the direction the story will go in. I have seen a suggestion on Twitter (I can't remember who so sorry), where it was suggested Nagash is after the souls within Slaanesh and is cooking up a scheme to release him/her/it. I suspect it will go wrong and Slaanesh is either released or the prison is cracked and Slaanesh can wiggle his/her/its toe out of the crack (It's the toe and nothing else!!! ). 3) New boxed Set Again another safe bet, I think we will see a new boxed set over summer, which I'm hoping will be Deepkin vs Slaanesh but I'm expecting more Death vs Order, with Death forces attacking a village and the Order forces holding out and being rescued by Stormcast. I'm also hoping for more info around the new Shadespire Warbands as well as a bit of direction where the game will go next. I'm hoping we will hear about a season two!

I'm wondering if I should start dishing out warning points for all of these puns.... Nice round up. Part of me is expecting a lot of this but also I would love to see a more bio-mechanical type theme for them with Cthulhu twist. Would love to see them as an elite army in a sort of mecha bio suit than riding some sort of sea-horse/shark hybrid but I suspect whatever we see, I will like.

** Cough ** Cough ** Not AOS However the little birdys seem to be saying look over here... http://natfka.blogspot.co.uk/2018/03/rumors-angron-and-khorne-new-abbadon.html and not discuss this any further in this thread (but if half of that is happening, I'm excited!!)

@Templar101 those are amazing! Such a simple but cool idea

I followed part of the painting guide from the Knight of shrouds that is on the Warhammer TV YouTube Channel. So it's a undercoat of Skull White, followed by a base coat of Nihilakh Oxide . This then had a wash/glaze of Waywatcher Green and then a dry brush of Ulthan Grey (although I didn't get enough paint off and this ended up being more of a wetbrush). I then highlighted with Ulthan Grey on key points to try and get the glass effect and kept on adding it working up to White Scar on key points. It's sort of worked but need to try again. But as this is the first set of models I have properly painted in 10 years (not base colour and dip), I'm pleased!

Quickly got these done for the Grand Clash next week. Was going for a ethereal shade glass type look. Really enjoyed painting these as first but of proper painting I’ve done in years!!

Today's Rumour Engine Image - https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/02/20/rumour-engine-february-20th-2018/ Looks 40K and to me something for Tau but at a push could be something Steampunky

Just to knock this back onto rumours..... Here is the list of who is going to be available at the Age of Sigmar Open day in a few weeks - https://warhammerworld.games-workshop.com/2018/02/20/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-open-day-2018-studio-guests/ As you can see it's a lot of people from the studio, so I think it's safe to say there will be something really cool on show.

We will soon be seeing Duncan and Peachy singing "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid Or something to do with some fish men or something.......

At the moment the answer is no. This is the biggest thread on the forum and the most visited with all the rumour information in it. I think it can keep on going

Personally I see Malign Portents as the setting for the game this year and the book will cover that and have some new units, scenarios, and background. The thing you are thinking about will be the Battletombs which will be themed for Malign Portents (such as the Legions of Nagash) but they should have no issues at an event. To be honest I can't see any events banning the new stuff unless it's for a very specific reason (such as a historical narrative event).

Not been paying much attention to events but is that right? I thought they were allowed as per the GW ruling (can't remember if in FAQ or just for GW Heats) but you get the Firestorm rules if you drop the Grand Alliance rules. As for the Malign Portents stuff, I'm really, really excited about what Legions of Nagash will bring but then GW also showed off lots of stuff for 40K (Adeptus Custodes!!!!!!) so I'm having a wobble!

I don't think we will see anything new if I'm honest (apart from Forgeworld). All the Malign Portents stuff will be revealed tomorrow with hopefully a suitable Warhammer Live show and you will probably get chance to see the models up close on the Open Day.

My assumption is that I got to see the swanky new logo for Age of Sigmar at the presentation that GW did at Blood and Glory last year. I only caught bits of it as I have poor hearing and was suffering with a bad back (I foolishly offered to help set the tables up!) but it was mentioned that this is a new season for Age of Sigmar. We've just had the Season of Hope where the forces of Order have been able to push back Chaos and make little beachheads and buildup thriving cities in the realms, but we are now going to enter the next new season. With the eerie glow around the new logo and a lot of the stuff we have seen so far, Death seems to be the major player. (Watch the Maggotkin trailer on the Warhammer TV Youtube channel if you don't believe me). We could still see a new Silver Tower set but I think the main focus will be the main game and Shadespire this year.

My understanding is that more and more stuff will appear on the site over the next few weeks to help tease us up until 3rd Jan (which is Age of Sigmar Wednesday on Warhammer TV). I'm guessing we will see more teasers in a similar manner of the 40K release

Activate Happy Dance!

Yeah I think Skaven in 2018. We may get more previews over the Christmas break but outside Christmas bundles and the last few 40k codexes (and maybe a Primarch) you won’t see anything. Remaining Warbands are Skaven, Fyreslayers, Khorne Blood Warriors, and Stormcast. We may see some more but I suspect it will be full AOS season then and we will next see stuff later on in 2018.

Thanks. He’s better but not 100% as not quite back to eating how he used to. I know what you mean but again if you look back at this year it’s been amazing for big releases, so I’m happy to keep some for next year. GW are doing amazing stuff, so reward them with a bit of faith and spend lots of money when it’s out! PS - Shadespire is amazing. Buy all the stuff

Too be honest, the summary is on the Community Site - https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/11/03/news-codexes-heroes-blood-glorygw-homepage-post-3/ Nobody really got much more information than this but I was at the back and didn't really hear much. I think the following got asked and answered... (note these answers are my fuzzy memory from the Friday night which has been tainted with lack of sleep from a projectile vomiting child and doing lots of audit stuff at work). Q - FAQs. What is the process for these A - Post the question on the Facebook page for the game. The Community team will collect info and pass onto Design Studio who may answer and it gets put into a FAQ. Q - There seems to be a lot of talk about 'Seasons' in AOS. What do you mean by this. (This was asked as the title video we saw mentioned the Season of Hope was over) A - A season is like a period of time and can range from a few days to centuries. The idea is that it's a theme that they work in when designing the models, art, background and rules. At the moment the game has been pretty much set in an Season of Hope. Sigmar and his Allies have been able to push back the tide of Chaos and establish thriving cities in the Mortal Plains, The Everqueen has awoken and his cleansing her lands of taint and the Kharadron have come out of their seclusion and trading with the other races. All in all, it is good for the forces of Order. They've decided to change this now and it looks like we will see a darker tone Q - Do you have different teams in the Design Studio for the different games? A - No. If it has the word "Warhammer" in it anybody in the studio will get involved as they all bounce cool ideas off each other. So you could have somebody doing some art for 40K which influences the design on a Age of Sigmar model (and visa versa). Hope that helps

+++ Mod Hat On +++ I've pinned this topic which should hopefully help anybody with any questions.

I think they mentioned proper images of the cards but I was sitting right at the back so couldn't hear very well

I wasn't expecting to see all four at all. It's too close to the end of the year and this is going to be a big release so why would you drop a big reveal when you can keep it for 2018

For everybody moaning about the AOS releases in the last part of this year - Wait for 2018. GW need to get the bulk of the 40K codexes out to support the new game, especially as it's their biggest money earner (don't believe me, have a look at the online store as there are plenty of things out of stock). They've also done a sneaky reveal for what is happening next year and it's going to be big. It's going to be so big, they want to keep it a surprise for next year rather than shoehorn it into the tail end of this year and not give it the support it needs Just in case you aren't sure... This is the new logo. Why have they done a new logo? Could it be a new boxed game or maybe even a new edition? (I'm going with new box game). Doesn't the logo have subtle hints of a eerie greenness to it, like a ghostly green glow? Also they dropped a preview in September for the Malign Portents by showing the Knight of Shrouds. Maybe this and the new logo are linked? Maybe a new Age is going to happen? So personally, I would wait until next year
