The Blood and Glory event gave us a deeper look into the future with what’s to come from GW. Sit back, buckle up, and enjoy as we break down the latest.
Games Workshop was at the Blood and Glory event showing off a hefty serving of previews on what’s coming from the company. Let’s take a look at everything that was spotted.
The Next Battletome
GW didn’t drop any names here but in this short clip, we can make some STRONG guesses as to what the next battletome will be. Notice the face in the moon and the mushrooms coming into focus as the camera pans down? Are GOBBOS next in line for an AoS overhaul? Let’s hope so!
Older beasts of Chaos Models: Made to Order
To celebrate the recent update on Beasts of Chaos, they announced that they would be making some of the older characters of the faction that have never before been available on their own. But they’re not stopping there. They also said:
we’ll be giving a host of Beasts of Chaos Heroes and units from the world-that-was a permanent home with a new Warhammer Legends download that lets you field a Chaos Beastmen army of the Old World in narrative and open play.
Chapter Approved 2018
Kicking off a Chapter Approved 2018 preview in a 1980’s themed-video, they mentioned Sisters of Battle, Farsight Enclaves, and Looted Wagons.
Starting with Sisters of Battle, we can take a look at a stratagem and an Order of the Sororitas that was dropped as a teaser.
Pretty good when you drop a unit full of flamers that are automatically hit their target, have their range increased to 12″ AND get to shoot again later in the turn.
S3 models jumping to S4 isn’t a bad tactic at all. Especially when it activates only when it comes into account. This makes Sisters like a Pseudo Catachan Guard army.
Xenos Warbands Plague Vigilus
A haunting video shows a transmitted message from an imperial faction on Vigilus requesting for reinforcements. Xenos Warbands from all across the galaxy have been striking defenses and are unable to be contained by what’s left on the planet. What could be the future for this bastion?
Necromunda: Agents of Delaque
House Delaque was announced as the final House coming to Necromunda.
Re-designed and re-born in glorious multipart plastic, your House Delaque gang will be available in a jam-packed kit that lets you build a host of sinister gangers armed with all manner of unique equipment – not to mention the best trench coats the underhive has to offer.
If House Delaque was enough to convince you to start Necromunda, we’ve got good news for you. Two new books are coming out with all of the rules so far packed into them. These will be all you need to play for a while.
Godsworn Hunt: Darkoath in Nightvault
The full Darkoath Warband was also previewed at the event. Check out every model in the latest video.
Fans of chaos will be able to play this Warband in Nightvault sometime soon. You know there will still be exclusive cards coming alongside these minis. Even if you’ve already settled on your favorite Warband to main, you may still want to grab this expansion!
Useful Tools Coming to the Community
An online Kill Team building roster is in the works. You’ll be able to simply plug and play! No dates have been announced for this just yet so keep your eyes peeled. Warhammer Underworlds is also getting some support for the players that want to get into the game faster.
Designed to make building killer decks as simple as possible, and including additional functionality for making sure your deck is tournament legal, it’s sure to become your ideal companion for adventures in the Mirrored City.
Exciting tools are ahead for the gaming community as GW is making it easier to jump straight into games. What do you think about all of these previews? Which one has you the most excited? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
