I wouldn't be surprised if they do something around Dwarfs in The Old World.

Update I’ve been busy this weekend but I have managed some progress. Started on the Kruleboyz and got six mostly assembled. I left the shields off but marked on each model which shield goes with each by writing under the base with a sharpie. The models are great but I’m old now and I found them fiddly to assemble. I dread to think how somebody new to the hobby would feel! I’m hoping to get another six assembled in the week but not going to push too hard as it’s Mothers Day in the UK next Sunday and I don’t think it would go down well if I was hobbying! On another note, I’m signed up to a Warmaster tournament in May that a mate is running and I’ve joined a gym, so you can see how I get distracted! 🤣

Nope. Just weekend and sometime. If I was going to guess, I'd say around midday Saturday UK time but it could be any time. On another but similar note I doubt the preview is two hours long but allows for a Q and A session with people. For UK time, that's 21st March at 0100.

I think you will find it will be one 40K model, one AOS model and then something else. And maybe an announcement about Dwarfs. But all the big stuff will be Adepticon and it makes sense not to spoil anything before it to keep the excitement up.

There's a internet craze around this time of year, started many years ago by Games Workshops Nick Bayton. For those who don't know, Nick is the Battle Report presenter for Warhammer+ and has done all sorts of jobs at Games Workshop over the years. He is really passionate about anything to do with Games Workshop but he is really passionate about Ultramarines. So he started saying "March for Macragge" where you paint up Ultramarines during the month of March. That sounds really simple, except I want to paint up some stuff for Age of Sigmar. Oh and I have the attention span of... oh look Squirrel!! Okay, basically I want to get some stuff painted up, do a bit of a blog about it and probably inspire or entertain people along the way. But I'm going to need some guidelines to follow (this is to help me kind of stay on track). March to March - I know I'll struggle to do anything so my time span is March 2024 to March 2025 Rule of Two - To keep me on track, I need to make two hobby updates a month. These can be WIP or a finished thing but should try and show progress This is for fun - The most important rule! This is just a fun thing. I shouldn't get stressed about not being able to do updates due to real life So with the prospect of 4th edition on the horizon, I want to make sure I have a new army ready to play games with. I've been sitting on a pile of potential for a while now, so I think it's time to get them finished - Kruleboyz! I think the models look great, it's a nice change from the typical fantasy Orc that we usually see, and their (current) playstyle looks interesting. With this in mind, I've decided they will be my army in 4th edition Age of Sigmar. My plan is to basically paint up what I have from the list below and add a few extra models. I'm not working to any type of army list as I have no idea how the game will work in the next edition (will it be a enhancement of what we have now or will there be big changes?), but the idea is to have some stuff to play with. 1x Killaboss on Great Gnashtoof 1x Killaboxx with Stab-Grot 1x Murknob with Belcha-banna 2x Swampcalla Shaman with Pot-grot 1x Beast-skewer Killbow 12x Man-skewer Boltboyz 20x Gutrippaz 20x Hobgrot Slittaz I'll probably add some more stuff to this as well but this is the bulk of the stuff I want to get painted. Check back soon for some actual pictures!

I think GW ran a couple of events last year for a Golden Ticket and I think that the Just Play guys ran an event as well. Not sure of any others.

You may never know Just because somebody reacts a certain way through the internet, doesn't always mean it's the same what you think it is (as a Dad to an Autistic child, I have to explain stuff quite a lot because of how they perceive reactions) It looks like it

I think it will be Adepticon. They waited months after the back of the Age of Darkness set leaked! This weekend will probably be next Dawnbringer model for AOS but that is me hoping they devote Adepticon to new edition!

I've just split this off to stop the Rumour Thread going even more off topic!!!! Theres still a few around but they do seem to have reduced a bit in frequency. One I watch is https://www.youtube.com/@SeasonofWar

There is for 30K - https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/fulgrim-transfigured-2023 Not yet for 40K and less of that here please This is the big problem GW have at the moment and I've heard they are trying to resolve this with an additional factory unit to be able to produce stuff. This is going to impact everything they do until they have the capacity and I really would expect GW to carry on with the FOMO for now. Not surprising but again I think they just can't made enough models for demand.

not recently! (I didn't forget about them..... honest..... ) Okay yes, those guys use it a lot but is it something new or casual players use? This is what GW will look at.

They base their rules writing on loads of different things. For example, True Line of Sight is mainly because a lot of players struggled using the line of sight rules in many GW games. I think if the feed back they have been getting is some parts of the rules are clunky or difficult for new players, they will tweak and change things. So wheeling back to rumours, I really wouldn't be surprised if the production issues along side players not using faction terrain or endless spells (wherever complicated for players or just difficult to get), it all gets dropped.

There's nothing stopping them getting rid of Faction Terrain and/or Spells and I really wouldn't be surprised if they go if they are difficult to get. They've done it in the past with kits they no longer can or want to support, so there's nothing stopping them doing it now. This is why it's interesting and making me wonder There's also nothing stopping GW redeveloping the models and releasing them under their own production but then that's where we will see the bottle neck issues

Makes you wonder about Faction Terrain and Endless Spells in new edition....

I'm not expecting any. I think they just showed them off on the day and left the teases for Adepticon.

This is the best way to look at it. I've worked in IT for over 25 years, so change in scope for a project is not a surprise! Yup they have been clear and I think people have been hoping for things. I think the issues they have are around production and with a Amazon TV show on the horizon which could make 40K sales go insane, I can kind of see why they went with the old sculpts rather than developing something new.

My Ogors I painted up for AOS so I could play in Clash of Swords in the days of Mo Comp (I got a sportsman trophy for using 2 Thundertusks and a Stonehorn which were filth at the time!!!) and then at an event ran by @Ben which I can't remember but I won best destruction for smashing stuff and getting points (not winning games! ). My memory is really hazy since becoming a Dad! I currently have Kruleboyz waiting to be painted and my plan is to start and finish them before 4th edition drops. I also have the Flesh Eater army box which I'm going to paint up to use as a Spearhead force as I think we will see rules for using them in games like Combat Patrol. I chose them both as they have cool models

Also to add Adepticon is about two weeks after this, so it would be insane to do one video preview followed by another one a few weeks later. This. I'm expecting some sort of online celebration ending with a preview.

I do have to add that Chapter Master Valrak is a YouTuber and creates videos as his job. So he's going to be making stuff to get you to watch it. So I wouldn't be surprised if he dropped X rumour months and months before a release, either because he has a source or educated guess. Either way, it's to get you watching his stuff

I agree with this and I think you've hit why 3rd edition doesn't sit well with myself Anyway...... BACK TO RUMOURS!!!!

Probably Adepticon and I would expect to see Dwarfs. No idea if there will be army boxes with rules in though for Orcs or Dwarfs.

This. Plus I suspect they have been playing the new edition for ages and working on it, so it's weird for them to manage things! I wouldn't call it pointless. The points drops were interesting. As were the minor tweaks to some tactics. Also the range increases were cool. In fact it's not a bad update, but it wasn't going to be earth shattering due to the new edition round the corner. I'll give it a A+ then

Probably. It's typically a Thursday and they have said it would be this week on the Preview from Sunday. It's either going to be the best battlescroll ever or a so so one but I'm expecting it to be the last one before the next edition (all signs suggest it's summer).

Bet GW can I think the issue is that because they seem to be having issues producing things (look at the online store how much is currently out of stock!!), they have switched to things coming out in around 3 months. Anyway, its roughly 19 weeks until July which is when we will probably see 4th edition, so we will probably see these sets before then. Then again, really depends on the production issues and all the other stuff that still needs to come out! There's still another 4 40K codexes that need to be released (if you count the FOMO Tau set in that as well as the FOMO Dark Angel set as it's out), plus the Solar Auxilia for Heresy, and more AOS sets between now and release (dawnbringers). Oh and restocking all the out of stock stuff! That's a lot of busy GW have to get on with.

My two pence.... No idea if Beasts will go away from Age of Sigmar. However, if it was me, I would be thinking about keeping the following models and developing new kits, and everything else moving to The Old World. You can come up with new and exciting models and get players to buy new kits. I can totally see them making new Gor models as well as more themed god specific models. However, just to add and point out - Until it happens, all of this is speculation and rumours!
