Possible Screenshot of a 10th Edition Datasheet

The first one comes from Miniwars, and it’s quite hilarious, but also slightly scary looking at Kill Team!

That’s right, this capture confirms the radical change for the better that we will play in10th edition, which it is already said that it will be the best edition in the history of Warhammer 40,000. Intuitive gameplay has been the flagship of the Games Workshop HQ Design Studio. 
April Fool's Joke
As you can see, the Intercessors have evolved into a new Line-Assault class, with reduced stats and versatile weaponry.  
Both the geometric shapes and their colors give us a clue about the agility of the games and the ease of remembering these profiles. From Nottingham, they have developed this new game system, based on Kill Team, with a team of psychologists specializing in attention, perception, and memory from the University of Gereon, according to the source.   
We hope to know more details about this bombshell on April 1, 2023.

Finally, an easy-to-read statline! And just what we always wanted, Impentercesstorm Marines!

Warhammer Cinematic Universe Coming Summer 2023!

The second of the day comes from Sprues and Brews, where they dive into the new cinematic universe of Warhammer!

Exciting news from Games Workshop today! Head of Digital Media Stephan Hand has announced the Warhammer Cinematic Universe is coming to our screens soon!

The teaser trailer can be watched below:

Starting with the film Ahriman: Multiverse of Magnus, Warhammer + subscribers will be taken on a universe hopping adventure that will bind all Games Workshop IP past and present! It all sounds very exciting! Here are some words that Stephan shared with us about this new venture!

Some people say that Cinematic Universes are an overdone tired cliché, but I know our fans cannot wait to see exciting things such as Lucius the Eternal’s long awaiting fight against against Eltharion the Blind or the Chainsaw Warrior face off against the Warlock of Firetop Mountain!

With the success of Warhammer + we have not only been given the chance to produce feature length movies that will be available exclusively for subscribers, but we also finally have the ability to tie all our universes together in the way that all our fans have been wanting for years!

Obviously, this is a major undertaking and we are still in the early stages – but our long term plans include adding this cross universe interaction into our tabletop games too.

This will be first seen in Warhammer Underworlds: Fusion due for launch for the 2022 holiday season which will for the first time allow you to command your favourite Kill Team or Man O War fleet in the Competitive Miniatures Game through the new Rift format!

I wish I could tell you all the things we have lined up, but sadly you are going to have to wait a little bit longer!

We’re probably the most excited for them to bring Chainsaw Warrior fully into the fold!

Scents of War From the Army Painter

Have you ever wondered what a gnome smells like? Well, the Army Painter has you covered with these amazing new scents! Now, you can truly get into the battle with this great new line.

First came Quickshade Dip, then Colour Primers and Warpaints. We’ve now built a complete range that includes Speedpaint and Warpaint Air. But it’s time to move on to exciting, titillating, aromatic new endeavors.

Finally, what we’ve all been waiting for!

We Hate to Add it…

There’s a chance this is all real and they are pulling the double bluff on us as we’ve been hearing credible rumors for a long time now about Squats returning. still, there’s a chance this is all a big joke and GW loves to watch us cry. Still, we’re holding out hope! Especially when compared to last year, this isn’t nearly as jokey as the Lieutenant move.

On April 1st, 2022, (KEEP IN MIND THATS APRIL FOOLS DAY) Games Workshop released the following video that has a tiny surprise at the end…

a short announcement

With the galaxy split in twain, and Xenos threats and the forces of Chaos in the ascendant, a new power rises:

Could it really mean the return of the Squats? Well, they have been rumored to be returning almost as long as they have been gone… And, guess what else this could be? That’s right, Space Hulk!
