Something Wolfy this way comes?

[HvitrValdyr]

Advent calendar rumor engine gives us what appears to be a Wolf head.

Also Helwinter Gate goes on preorder in a super fancy edition. Odds of getting one before the scalpers?

I will be trying to get Helwinter Gate and I wish my brothers all due luck. Hopefully it will be slightly less scalped than the Siege books, but we will see.

[Guest Triszin]

Interesting.

 

Jarnhammer pack gets a data sheet, and there's a wolf skin in the rumor engine?

 

I assume the data sheet is for crusade only.

[Arentius]

When does this Helwinter gate box go up? I can't find the above image anywhere...the only reference I found was back in October when we saw the closed box

[Ragnar69]

I think Black Library preorders are always Fridays

Do you know what time they go Live?

[Ragnar69]

No, but I assume the same time as the Saturday pre-orders.

I'm not totally convinced that wolf head will be for us, look at the damage to the head, 3 claw marks, that noble wolf has be mutilated, not the way of the Sons of Russ.  Next year GW are dropping a race for Age Of Sigmar that have Bear Riders (can't remember the full details), my money is on that.

[Squark]

Also, while I can't be sure, the proportions on that wolf head look small, suggesting that it isn't of Fenrisian stock (And thus, likely unrelated to us).

Thought that was Forgeworld?

That pelt looks more like the AoS goblin riders wolf than our fenrisians wolf. It has a long thinner snout, Also the ears are more short and triangular while the fenrisians are more "elfish", as in long and wide.

[Guest Triszin]

Data sheet is confirmed for crusade.

 

 

Interesting quote on the box itself.

 

" All because you have no soul, son of Russ, you are a devil. A phantom".

The special dice are also just the 8th edition codex dice with the hard to read clawmarks

Ahh but they are the Darker 30k Grey not the baby blue and they have yellow marks instead of Black. Totally different :P (that or its the same blue but my eyes are deceived by the yellow into thinking they look darker)

I recognise my failings and will be sure to correct them :)

The last time I went to Warhammer World they still had a load in a "pick and mix" dice selection so... that may be what happened here.

Helwinter Gate up. Just managed to bag one.

Edit: And sold out. Lasted a whole 18 minutes.

Im surprised it even lasted that long

 

Can think of other things that €125 could be spent on

[Ragnar69]

It was 90 pounds or 125 euros but apparently not available overseas

[Dark Shepherd]

The only thing Id say against increasing the number of limited edition copies is hand signing more than 1250 would be hard going

[Bryan Blaire]

For me personally, having something "hand signed" from something just bought is meaningless - it's the event of meeting and talking to someone, even briefly, at a book signing or lecture or sporting event that makes that entire set up meaningful. I really think GW misses the mark on these collector items - I'm actually not entirely sure what would induce me to buy their collector stuff - a war game isn't about collecting things to me, unless it's my collection of models for the game.

 

Different strokes for different folks, YMMV, and all that.

[Jorin Helm-splitter]

Personally I'd prefer it if they focused on play aids like objective markers, or made a mission or two based on the events of the book. Switching from a set number of copies to a made to order release would also be a lot more consumer friendly.

That was the beauty of the old Games day when you could stand in line and get books signed. Unless you wanted ADB to sign as he ran away after lunch and didn't return, I think he has a healthy fear of the GW fan base 

 

I ambushed him after lunch to get my book signed in the hall as he was trying to escape which adds to the memory
