  1. Might be interesting for anybody around Nottingham, or in Texas.

    This is the first chance anywhere in the world to try out the smart changes wrought by the Warhammer Studio. Most importantly, attendees will be able to play a hands-on demo game of the new edition, and they’ll also find out more about the exciting new Spearhead format, learn about the new rules, see all the gorgeous new miniatures, and learn how to paint the Skaven and the Stormcast Eternals of the Hallowed Knights.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Preview Event around the same time, since they've done IRL and Online WarhammerFests in May before (albeit usually earlier in the month).

    Small teaser of rules changes to come. Double turns being a tough choice sounds cool, there's a lot that could mean

    Not much meat on the bones, definitely just a marketing buzzword video rather than anything in-depth or what we didn't already know from Adepticon.

    Glad it's confirmed back in Aqshy. I know, I know, people wanted somwhere new - and I totally get that - but as a Fyreslayers player I'm bias.

    The miniatures will be available for a limited time only. Both Mordern Tzane and Killaboss Zagnog will be on sale directly from the webstore – but Tzane will be added to your shopping basket for free when you spend £150 in one go. And if that weren’t enough, if you spend £100 you’ll get a free discount code for Black Library worth £10!

    This promotion is open from 10am GMT on the 26th of March until 10am BST on the 29th of April. Terms and conditions apply.

  4. Underworlds: Wintermaw pre-order next week.

    Quote

    After some huge reveals at AdeptiCon, including the first news of the next edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Warhammer Community will continue to bring the hits with new articles about the lore of the Mortal Realms and information about the modularity of the new rules. We’ll also have coverage of Golden Demon at AdeptiCon, more information about Kill Team: Nightmare, and plenty else besides.

  5. Dawnbringer Chronicles with Elves in it, bah!

    Quote

    This week, the Dawnbringer Chronicles chart a familiar tale – a sister’s desperate search for her lost brother – but not all is as it seems in the Mortal Realms. An aelf of the Lumineth delves deep into the Temple of the Ur-Phoenix, and she may not like what she finds at the end of her quest.

    Things don't sound too swell for the Phoenicium.

    They said we'll see another familiar dwarf coming back, who do you think it will be? 

    I don't know if he's alive during that time period but maybe we'll see Gotrek before he becomes a slayer, when he was a engineer. 

    Hoping for Grombrindal, expecting Young Thorgrim.

    Do you think that Skavens will spawn everywhere in the realms or only in Great Parch ?

    Sounds like it's everywhere, but focused on the Great Parch.

    All that skulking around was time spent plotting the greatest scheme of all – the Vermindoom, blossoming much of the foetid sub-realm of Blight City directly into the Realm of Fire, and opening up festering rents in reality across the rest of the Mortal Realms.

    Which 1/3 of the Parch are we thinking is going under?

    Anvilgard being destroyed in a bit of universal spite towards Morathi would be hilarious.

    So much of the Great Parch going nuclear makes me a bit more optimistic we'll see a second Fyreslayer wave, particularly as it's a good excuse to have Robo-Bael in the fore. 

    Dang, now I know how Destruction players who were optimistic about Era of the Beast felt...

    AoS would be worse off without the double. Without a doubt - those who dislike it are usually ones who refuse to play around it

    My problem with Double Turn is that it's been the quickest way to turn people off the game. You mention it to potential new players and you can see the interest drain from their face once they're reminded it exists.

    It's continued inclusion also feels antithetical to AoS being pushed as more of a casual, relaxed, easier-to-get-into game; people will list those features as a great, low barrier to entry, and then with the next breath insist that Double Turn is awesome because it's this super in-depth tactical mechanic you always need to be worried about and playing against ahead of time and you'll totally get used to it after playing the game for months... which feels antithetical to the other points, or at least it comes off that way even if the reality is murkier.

    You’re sad because battle tactics are still a thing.

    I’m happy because double turn is taking a big warranted nerf.

    Honestly with how they keep nerfing it every edition, it becomes increasingly clear that Double Turn is somebody important's baby and they just refuse to allow it to finally be removed outright.

    Do you think the model mondays will be reserved for the new starter set? Full reveal of the box will probably happen 1 month from now, so 4 weeks of lesser reveals from starter box seems like some good teasers to keep us interested.

    Iirc that's what happened with Leviathan, so it seems a reasonable bet.

    On top of all that, there are modular rules, plenty more opportunities for reactivity in your opponent’s turn via an updated system of command points and abilities, and a ton of tweaks and refinements – not least to the double turn, which has been fine-tuned into a knife-edge decision with a clever twist to scoring. Put simply, it is the best edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar yet.

     

    Still not Alternating Activations then? Gutted. I thought the AoS team would be the ones to finally break the mould for the mainline games.

  13. Thane With Shieldbearers looks fantastic, but I am somewhat surprised he's plastic after O&G only got resin. Not that I'm complaining. It's a very good glowup on what was an old model.

    Ungrim looks fantastic.

    Pleased to see the Doomseekers finally return. I was very surprised about the Goblin-Hewer. I know we all predicted it, but since neither of those are in the Forces of Fantasy list that pretty much confirms a Slayer Cult Army of Renown.

    The Battalion box is interesting. Good starting point for newcomers, but I did expect them to mix it up a little with Hammerers or Ironbreakers. Two Gyrocopters Jeremy? That's insane.

    Horus Heresy was full box reveal + extras and the trailer (probably because it got leaked a year before :D).

    And 10th 40k was 2 Terminators and 2 Tyranids, some extra info and the trailer.

    Even though everybody knew about the 30k box, it was just the trailer at Adepticon (I only remember because everybody was surprised when the cat had been out of the bag for so long). The official full boxset was at WarhammerFest a month or so later. 

    I am hoping we see the full set at tonight though, at least if there's no plans for another Online WarhammerFest (there might be, but who knows), however I've got my senses set to Cynic this time.

    Is it wrong to expect disappointment? I'm assuming we'll see a rat and a stormcast as per last year's adepticon reveals plus a trailer.

    With darkoath being shown early I'm not sure much will be seen. Happy to be wrong but tempering expectations seems a better way to avoid disappointment.

    In 2022 they showed the Horus Heresy cinematic trailer at AdeptiCon and nothing else. In 2023 they did something similar with 40k (Primaris Lieutenant and the one Tyranid wasn't it?), so yeah, I think it's a safe bet we'll just see the cinematic and maybe 1-2 individual models, but no full set. It's possible the leaked photos may have spooked them a bit into revealing a little more than 30k or 40k saw at their new edition announcements though.

    I reckon with Darkoath accidentally leaked, we'll probably see at least a few things from Dawnbringers VI, but maybe not everything?
