NOVA Open Preview - August 28th/29th

[Focslain]

 

I wonder how vague the HH Roadmap is going to be. I'm somewhat expecting Rapiers and Sentry Guns soon, if only because they're sold out online, my wishlist though would be Bikes, Speeders and (probably won't happen, at least not yet) Castraferrums. All you need to do is make the old MK4 FW Dread in plastic, it'll sell! Please Specialist Games team!

If they move the now legended bike, attack bikes and speeders to HH I'm time looping my wolves.

 

Almost hoping for this as this would add some BS level of fluff to my 'imperial' forces.

I would love any of these being plastic! I wonder, if/when they make Speeders plastic if the Kyzaghan will become an upgrade kit to the plastic base. Most of the differences look like they could be made that way, but would need a full rework of the resin kit, I'm guessing.

The Marine Rapiers also had their visual redesign with Legions Imperialis and the colour plates for them appeared in Beta-Garmon, so they definitely seem like a safe bet with them being Sold Out now.

It's just a road map for heresy, not an actual preview - so nothing specific? Just "new army", "legion command squad", "new tanks", etc?

The last roadmap was somewhat specific when it wanted to be.

 

If it's just vague "New vehicle, new infantry squad, new boxet" I'll definitely be disappointed though. 

 

I do also wonder if they'll show off a CAD of the Weapon Arms - like they did the Assault Marines at WFest - which isn't technically a reveal but it does confirm they're still alive and quash the doomsaying going around some corners.

Reasonable thoughts Marshall; I just sometimes wonder if no hope is better with these things than any hope?

‘No hope is better than any hope’ is a very Warhammer universe appropriate statement, tbf.

Only quad mortars. The rest are all very much in stock, at least from a Canadian perspective.

Showing off cads would be even worse than showing nothing in regards to the melee weapons i reckon. They were due out months ago, if they were only at the cad stage at this point it will cause an absolute storm for the community team to deal with.

The marketing team hates the specialist games team and undermines them constantly, so I doubt they’d care people were mad at specialist games.

Anecdotal? Or is there some stated evidence for this? (Statements from Peachy or Louise, maybe?)

[Noserenda]

It goes both ways with the inane way GW seems to drive its internal departments against each other, like the old world teams keeps announcing releases on Facebook for some reason and leaving them off WHC until release, its embarrassing for all of them.

Stormcast x3 but the last one is Bloodbowl I think

They started a tad early. Regardless, love me some chorfs.

 

And you just know people will go feral to turn that Lord-Relictor into a chaplain.

You know if roadmaps are the focus for this preview I expect to see actual roadmaps instead of just people talking about what is coming sometime in the future

Yeah, hopefully the articles have some images. Then again not much need for a roadmap in 40k if it's just two codecies for Q1 2025.

 

It is actually impressive how much yapping they can fit into miniscule amounts of information.

Unfortunately, there's not all that much interesting with the form of the preview for 40k and 30k, as it's not very showy.

 

However, there are some interesting tidbits in there, notably that we'll have another Space Marine release next, then second rounds for Solar Auxilia and Mechanicum.

 

Another small, but important detail, is that they've changed their position and will do legion-specific kits in plastic in the future (if I heard correctly).

The chat from the stream is brutal. I had to turn it off. Poor guys have a job to do and are doing their best. Not their fault the upper gw management wasnt prepared.

[Lord Marshal]

I feel like Andy is going to regret talking about Legion-specific plastics when they're probably so far away.

It makes a sort of sense, as they've done no new resin squad kits, only characters in resin. So I think this may have been in the pipe for a while, just not publicly.

 

That said, who knows how far out such a thing is. The cat's out of the bag now though...

If that was a roadmap it’s going to make everyone drive off a bridge
