It is a way to bump the presence in events and WHW.
Yup as well as get people going to local stores 'just in case' theres any in stock.

Problem is when brought at local GW's, is that stores have targets to meet each month. Whilst the store manager might pull a face if somebody brought all of this, they would still allow it so they hit their targets. It's totally annoying wherever the person buying it, is doing it for profit or to help out other gamers but from a store point of view they will look the other way. Warhammer World may be different though.

Yup. Very curious if the Darkoath would have been shown off or they were something that was going to be shown over next few weeks. Makes you wonder if showing them off early means we are getting a 4th edition reveal and they will devote more time to it?

If the 500 White Dwarf secret they keep "close to their chest" isn't a Grombrindal model, I will be very dissapointed.
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! 🤣

Do we know the time yet of the preview ? Morning or afternoon?
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.

- Couple of models for 40k, pretty likely Ork and Custodes as you said.
- One of the models from Book VI for AoS. I expect book 5 to be put in preorders this Sunday, plus we already got all its content.
- Something for BB, that goose looks like a BB character.
- The one or two new sculpted dawis for TOW.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.

I'm unsure if Whitefang's react was to the rumours or to the mod's edit of the post.
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)

Soooo, partial reveal of the unit sometime next week now that word is out on reddit and twitter, and soon probably on YouTube. Or will GW just wait until Adepticon before anything Skaven related is shown.
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!

Speaking of... is there a reason that there's no Daemon Primarch for Slaanesh? Excuse my ignorance, 40k is something of a closed book for me.
There is for 30K - https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/fulgrim-transfigured-2023
Not yet for 40K and less of that here please
1 hour ago, Garrac said:-Doesn't know when mandrakes vs night lords will come, aparently GW is having serious problem to satisfy the demand for their products
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.
1 hour ago, Garrac said:-AoS section! Emperor's Children aren't coming this summer because the focus will be on the 4th ed and Skaven vs sigmarines
Not surprising but again I think they just can't made enough models for demand.

Never played against Idoneth/Sylvaneth then?
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.

I was kind of thinking that GW might want to keep at least endless spells as part of the game, because in 3rd there are still a lot of rules that interact with them, and I don't know how much GW base their rules writing decisions on manufacturing/logistics concerns (even when a new edition gives them the opportunity to remove problematic elements).
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.

I think GW are committed to those rules for now, but I also wonder when we will see them resolve their manufacturing bottleneck for these items. It's not like it can't be done, but who knows how long it will take.
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

The problem with the Chinese plastic is still there. We can see that with the huge reduction of new terrain or the Kill Team and Warcry big boxes passing away, and, of course, the almost permanent "out of stock" of Faction Terrain and Endless Spells.
Makes you wonder about Faction Terrain and Endless Spells in new edition....

A week-ish left for the Warhammer World preview. And in a few days we should be getting the Instagram teasers?
I'm not expecting any. I think they just showed them off on the day and left the teases for Adepticon.

Similarly, "not for the foreseeable future" only means that they won't confirm that these armies are coming until they officially announce them. GW doesn't discuss what armies they're releasing in the future.
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!
32 minutes ago, GhostShark said:Its clear that at some point there were plans to include these two armies. Those plans obviously changed. We found that out when GW announced which armies would be included in The Old World. They've been very clear.
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

We didn't have it last year. Also would be weird that they didn't announce it with the announcement post and we got it in the end.
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.
1 hour ago, Chikout said:We definitely aren't getting Warhammer Fest this year. GW cancelled it. It's possible GW will do an online thing to replace it but there is no in person preview event in April or May this year.
This.
I'm expecting some sort of online celebration ending with a preview.

Fair enough, but usually he gets his rumours with a year prior at most. For example, when he got the rumours for the new kroot, it was just 2 months prior to LVO, and that on and on. I'd be surprised if he got those Mechanicum rumours and then the army releases on late 2025 or 2026.
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 think that war40k core mechanics and the rule's design is a lot better than people think. If there was more customization options, subfactions or "background flavour" to play around, people would have another perspective, even if the game will still have the same mechanics.
AoS is in the other side of the coin, there is a lot of flavour, but the rules are a bit off. With a lot of layers of rules on top of other layers, and a meta-gaming based on stuff like how to acquire arbitrary Victory Points instead of what your models do or have.
I agree with this and I think you've hit why 3rd edition doesn't sit well with myself
Anyway......
BACK TO RUMOURS!!!!

When do we think the next TOW preview will be?
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.

Sometimes it can feel that way at the end of an edition, normally they are looking for a quick meta shift before the edition end, happens in 40K too
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!
4 minutes ago, Malakithe said:Wow what a completely pointless update. Everyone waited all this time for basically nothing.
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.

Personally there will only be a doom for them if Dark Elves appear in The Old World. This is probably years away, so I wouldn't worry. If it does happen, they I would either expect a reimagining or drafted into a new concept, but we may be in 5th or 6th edition then!
