Braggnar Lothbrok, formerly known as Bilbo Braggins, made a very interesting post on his Twitter account hinting at a new army going on display at Warhammer World.Empty Case Warhammer WorldEmpty cabinets may not seem like much, but when you tack on “Us staff at #Warhammerworld are going to fill them with #New40kNewArmy” it starts to raise some interest.

Do you notice anything about the reflection? That looks an awful lot like the area we see during their live Warhammer TV feeds. Are we closer to a release date or reveal than what everyone thinks, or is this just more teasers to tide us over to Warhammer Fest?

Or will Games Workshop reveal more in their Indomitus Crusade preview today?

It’ll be really interesting to see what develops over the next couple weeks, especially with a Warhammer World employee posting pics, and saying it’s for a new 40k army.

What are your thoughts on this? Are we closer to a big reveal than we think? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
