They have several new sections for posts, but most note worthy right off the bat is the Latest News & Rumors section which showcased a teaser snapshot of a 2017 release:

Oh hey there. We bet the word ‘rumour’ is what drew you to this article. It would have grabbed our attention too. Speculating wildly about future releases is an essential part of the Warhammer hobby*. To nudge things along a little, we snuck into the Design Studio and snapped a photo of something that’s coming next year. Unfortunately, photography is not our strong suit…

See you next week for another game of ‘What am I looking at?!’.

Pretty cool new little feature for everyone always looking for the latest on the new releases- assuming GW has that many in the pipeline of couse!

For me this hearkens back to the old Warhammer Forum from the early 2000’s that was eventually abandoned, and led to the prominent rise of other forums such as DakkaDakka and Portent (as Nature abhors a vacuum and always strives to fix it).

So this is another great step in their community presence initiative.

All boats rise with the tide, and I can not wait to see what this can do for the hobby we all love so much!
