World Championships of Warhammer Preview

[Lord Marshal]

I don't have anything clever for this one, just take the link to the WarCom article.

Have there been any rumours about what the new previews could be?

 

Warhammer Quest is pretty hype.

[VanDutch]

Really looking forward to the Legions update, especially after all the ‘it’s getting cancelled’ drama.

 

Hopefully we’ll see the rumoured Custodes army.

There's a load of AoS rumours. Fyreslayers being merged Dispossessed (AKA Fantasy Dwarfs in AoS), Nurgle and Cities stuff outside of Quest, and new Ogres.

 

40k I guess will be the obligatory campaign books and individual models they do in the runup to the next edition (Nightbringer, rumoured Huron, etc). They also put the Warhammer+ Loremaster video on Titans onto their youtube channel the other day, which some have speculation is a precursor to a plastic Warhound announcement that Valrak was talking about.

 

Heresy we stll have the teases for plastic Custodes (and presumably Sisters), Mechanicum and Marine Breachers + Cataprachtii outstanding.

 

Legions Imperialis somebody found unused product codes for a bunch of stuff, which I can't remember off the top of my head (basically every faction but Solar Auxilia).

 

No idea about Necromunda.

 

The Old World there was a Chaos Mammoth rumour which came along with the original Marauder one, but it's unclear if they'll just put the resin one back into production or it'll be a new plastic kit.

For Heresy I'd expect to see the full reveals of the Cataphratii upscale and Talons of the Emperor. Also whatever the Mechanicum hint is. And maybe the full Breacher kit, though I'd kinda hoped that would have shown up by now.

 

For 40k, end of edition narrative I assume? Valrak has been talking about Prince Yriel and Huron Blackheart getting new models along with some hangers on for both flavours of Corsair. Otherwise I think we've got every Codex out and every existing preview now up for pre-order unless I'm mistaken?

Ferren Areios still needs a release date, as does the SM Heads upgrades kit. The other major one is the Shard of the Nightbringer, although it remains to be seen if that will be tied to Kill Team (seeing as there's rules for him as an NPC in Shadowhunt), or if he'll be delivered via the inevitable end-of-edition campaign arc.

Super happy to see Legions Imperialis up there. Also expecting a rather sizeable Horus Heresy preview as the releases post Saturnine have been rather slim.

[Waaagh?]

Hopefully the Heresy reveal is more than just the rest of the Breacher squad and the next Journal.

 

Really hoping for the full Cataphractii reveal!

Might also see the Glaive, (in big and small).

Rapiers (in two varieties), Mk II Assault Marines, extra weapon sprue for the Saturnine dreadnought, boxed starter sets for Marines/Aux/Mech, two splatbooks...not to mention all the standalone boxes from the Saturnine box.

That's not bad for three months, especially when we know we're also getting breachers, cataphractii, a new mech unit, and at least one new Custodes unit.

[Hfran Morkai]

Bring on the MkIV and Tartaros so I can theoretically break out of my hobby limbo.

 

I know we've only had hints (characters, art, Tartaros originally not having fist options), but I'm so eager for my favourite marks to be rescaled.

Fingers crossed for new MKIV and Terminators for the Heresy

I think we'll see breachers and cataphractii for astartes if we're lucky. Hopefully the glaive. We've only just had mkii so I wouldn't expect another mark so soon.

I'd put money on them doing what they did with MKIII, it will be done halfway into 3.0 as part of a set. 

 

I recall Valrak saying something about Catas being part of a set but his latest rumour is both them and Tarts coming out around the same time.

 

Makes me think Breachers are the most probable, along with a vehicle (maybe a Knight or less-demanding Baneblade alt-build) if we are lucky.

 

40k is def going to be the campaign chars I imagine.

[Tastyfish]

Necromunda will be interesting as outside backfilling a couple of the Guilds and noble houses, I don't think there's anything outstanding or expected.

Rapiers were before Saturnine, so it's mostly the fellblade and MK2 assault marines, a weapon sprue and some reboxes of existing kits. Which is not too much for the launch of a new edition imho. 

 

The 4 months after age of darkness launched, we had Rhinos, Kratos, 1 special and 4 heavy weapons sets, weapon set for the contemptor, 2 leviathan dread variants, 2 predator variants, plastic sicaran, plastic land raider proteus. 

 

Stuff that's been previewed or conjectured, but not released yet... Hasn't been released yet. 

 

Mind you I'm very happy with the assault marines and the fellblade as kits, but the hype train kinda floundered for me after Saturnines's launch.

Iirc the the preview show after Saturnine released when they did the teaser images at the end, one was a Cataphractii wrist/arm, so Id be on them, unless it was a character. One was also a custode though so who knows

[Son of Rawl]

I think we will see MKV before a redo of MKIV.

Corpse Grinder Cult expansion maybe? 

[Joe]

Probably about time for a rules consolidation / new edition for Necromunda, really. We've only had intermediary soft updates and expansions to the game as is since it re-released in 2017.

[Marshal Loss]

Not expecting much for Heresy. Breachers are a given as they haven't been properly shown off yet, and probably the next journal tactica which will presumably be the one focused on super heavies. I'd like to see more of this 'acceleration into plastic' they talked about with the launch of 3rd edition, anything more than that will be nice, but I am not expecting a wall of new kits for 30k at this preview

[Astartes Consul]

Given that the new Zone Mortalis rules are due in November (via PDF) I suspect GW would want Breachers up for pre-order by then. So, the kit may well just be revealed fully via WarComm instead.

 

Custodes preview and the the couple Journal Tactica seems a solid bet.

 

interesting to see where they take Legions.
