We are close enough to release the ‘influencers’ already have them.

Yea i can't wait for a repeat of heresy 2nd Ed: a barrage over a couple of weeks by influencers who never had any interest in the game and didn't stick around to play it.

It was definitely jarring when a lot of influencers who spent years saying Heresy needed to move to the 8th/9th ruleset suddenly turned around and declared their undying love for 7th.

 

Ah well, at least the dedicated <15mm/Epic/Titanicus/ channels will hopefully see a well-deserved uptick in views and subs.

I hate that Influencer Marketing.

It kills all my interest in new stuff through Fomo Marketing.

I'm guessing we'll see the Knight Lancer on tomorrow's announcement, AoS human army box the week after and then the imperialis box which would mean 19th August pre order and release on the 26th?

Rhinos would also make sense for the store mini as they come in boxes of ten whereas the contemptor dreads are mixed with other models.

So far, correct...

Sad face 

[Lord Marshal]

Supposedly there's still a few new kits to be revealed for Cities of Sigmar, and with the Sunday Preview talking about rules previews for Legions Imperialis it could end up being 12th for pre-order.

 

Yes I'm huffing Hopeium.

Based on patterns they'll release the army box first and then the other kits a few weeks later.

 

I'd wager the box next week then the other kits in September along with the nids codex and release.

Thing is, they have to reveal everything before the Army Set pre-order because it contains the Battletome, which will spoil any new reveals anyway.

 

Supposedly there's still a few boxes missing, so they'd have to reveal multiple things this coming week. That's not impossible, but without a dedicated Preview Stream that seems unlikely.

Sounds like a lot of people just need to learn to use a block/filter function and get on with their lives. Influencer marketing seems to work, and its definitely not going away if you are hate watching it for some bizarre reason.

[SalamandersBro]

I thought GW was releasing several kits with the box?

[Captain Idaho]

So gang, those 25mm infantry bases... do we think they're normal GW 25mm bases?

 

They look a little slimmer?

one of the articles did say that they're new and slimmer 25mm.

[Captain Idaho]

Dang. I'm gonna need to get some from somewhere...

[Sword Brother Adelard]

You don't need the thinner bases. They've said that, because there's no way in hell I'm rebasing my titans.

 

The knights, maybe. 

 

But, I don't like these textured bases for anything other than this specific urban setting, I'd like to see some thinner plain ones first.

Agreed on Titans.

 

I have sorted bases for my Tanks and marines so I am all good.

[Cactus]

Now that the bases no longer have the indents for infantry models there's nothing stopping you/me/us from cutting 25mm circles from plasticard or wood.

Just bung some fine sand, rubble of choice and or textured paint on them and they're instantly not urban anymore. 

What theme/landscape were you thinking of having them on?

Leave your AT stuff as is mate, then it's good for both game systems.

I think this is where some of GW's textured technical paints will be super handy, Martian crust will look like rough terrain on these bases  and Astrogranite will be very easy to apply wash & drybrush  

 

I'll be making my own Circles if GW charges a little too much for their own "new Bases" ..... Down to bunnings for a - Sutton Tools 25mm TCT Multi-Purpose Seamless Holesaw    sorted.... 

[Captain Idaho]

My friend is 3D printing me some MK4 stuff as a belated house warming gift but I think I need to supply the bases, so ideally I'd like them to look cool next to the stuff I'll be buying directly from GW.

 

(It's a supplement to my purchases, as I want it ALL!)

Youve always been able to use flat bases, just add a spot of filler and you get a better looking landform to boot :)

I dont even watch those Videos, that Fake Hype / Excitement is annoying.

I prefer the honest review of someone WHO spend Money on the product

Its not that, it's the fact they have the cut outs which affect the rims being smooth. So that would need filling.

Which is what makes me doubt these are the only ones they're making. 

[Interrogator Stobz]

I hear you Brother;  but two seconds with a hobby knife and a bit of sand  will hide the cut outs, and rural areas aren't often known for their flatness.
