REVEAL SHOW: Warhammer Games: How were out Guesses? - Games Workshop and Totally Pawsome

Hail Mighty Readers, Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks, 

Well with last nights show, lets see how we managed to do with our guesses for the various grafitti shots, what we're going to do is give ourselves 1/2 point if we got the faction right, and half a point if we got what was released.  So this is how it worked out for us:

Game: Horus Heresy

Faction: Adeptus Custodes

Points:

Yep, we got Horus Heresy and Adeptus Custodes right for this, however what was shown were new Adeptus Custodes Terminator type of warriors.  Also they've announced that you'll be getting less miniatures for your points, so its going to be interesting to see how exactly it'll work out in the long run.  In addition these are also fully useable for 40K too.  

Points = 1

Total= 1 point

Game: Kill Team

Faction: Legion of the Damned

Reason:

Yep we got this one 100% right, Legion of the Damned Kill Team box set.  Whilst we were hoping for new sculpts these look a lot like the ones from 2nd/3rd edition.  We were hoping for a more supernatural look to them but sadly that was not happening.  Also its a big return to land of the beakies with the helms.  We're going to be building our own Legion of the Damned Supernatural mini's as and when we can afford to get the extra accessories.

Points= 1

Total= 2

Game: Warhammer Quest

Faction:  Orruks

Reason:  Ok we completely messed this one out, the image pertains to Blood Bowl and whilst its a Goblin and Squig Team that looks fab its not one we're going to be after personally.

What did come out for Warhammer Quest was some new heroes to battle the forces of Nurgle.  These will be released as a set which is Agents of Azur, which includes a Safiya Ashcross who is a Witch Hunter, Caul Durnan is a Wildecorps Sharpshooter, Brother Belias who's a battle-priest, and  Ignus Sharn who is a Bright Wizard.

Points= 0

Total= 2

Game: Space Marine 2

Faction:  -

Reason:

Another one where we were completely wrong, this pertains to the Warhammer Plus series Astartes, of which we are now getting a second season.

Yet again another bit 0 for us.

Points= 0

Total= 2

Game: Warhammer Old World

Faction:  Tomb Kings of Khemri

Reason:

Yep we got this a hundred percent correct, brand new miniatures for the Tomb Kings, with new chariots, archers and warriors.  All are Khemri themed which I do feel is a little bit of a let down when you could have taken an older flavour from others who may have wondered into the lands on their own quest.

Points= 1

Total= 3

Game: Necromunda

Faction:  Imperial Guard

Reason:

Yes to Necromunda, no to the Imperial Guard, it was Escher Assassin, Orlock Gunslinger, Squat Fixer, and Goliath Champion, but it feels like this one is more designed as a new Warhammer Quest/RPG.  It does look pretty good to us and with a ton of foes to gun down on your adventure, its going to be a real treat to play.  We can't wait

Points= 1/2

Total= 31/2

Game: Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

Faction:  Khazalite Holds

Reason:

Yet again 100 % right, ton of really fab miniatures that not only includes an absolute ton of warriors but good representation across both genders making the all super thicc.  Our personal favourite is the new throne diorama, with the King sailing through the landscape.  Another must have for us.  Plus if you already have the other Duardin that are out (the Fyreslayers) they too can be added to this force.  Really happy about this, and some new characters too.

Points= 1

Total= 41/2

Finally the one big thing we didn't notice was the new paint range that had been snuck in as a bit of an easter egg, they do look really good and at the end of the day if they do half of what is promised (especially with the tougher colours to get saturation with such as yellow), there's going to be a ton of very happy people.

So when we add it up, out of 8 full points (as we're including the paint range reveal) we came out with 4 and a half.  Not great but reasonable.  How did you do?  

All the best,

ThunderMouser

 

REVEAL SHOW: Big Autumn Reveal Show - Warhammer

Hail Mighty Readers, Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks, 

Everyone is currently trying to guess what each of the graffiti shots on the video mean and having rewatched carefully and having had a think, these are our guesses:

So lets take each symbol and add our guesses to the list:

Game: Horus Heresy

Faction: Adeptus Custodes

Reason:

OK so this is perhaps the most obvious one, the Latin translates to "In his/her name".  Now with it being placed on top of a Golden Banana it has to be something for the Adeptus Custodes.  We're hoping its going to be some Sisters of Silence but we suspect it will probably be something else.  As to the game, we're going for Horus Heresy.

Game: Kill Team

Faction: Legion of the Damned

Reason:

For this one, we have heard rumblings from various places in regard to there being a Kill Team Legion of the Damned box, so with the symbology, with them being mentioned in a dispatch against the Orks for Armageddon we felt that this was a good fit for this release.  What we also hope that they look at adding is an Upgrade and Transfers pack so that you can modify all other Marines that you get so that you can run a full army of them in Warhammer 40K 11th Edition.

Game: Warhammer Quest

Faction:  Orruks

Reason:

This one may be a bit controversial with a fair few people out there but when we saw the sword driven through the Squigs head we went straight to the thinking that they were going to be bringing out some new enemies for the fighters to face and possibly a new character mini or two to which the sword pertains.  

Game: Space Marine 2

Faction:  -

Reason:

This has always been a big thing with the game as they've introduced a whole heap of various classes for people to play, the Ready just makes us feel that its a computer game related thing, As such we're not 100% sure whats going to occur, but possibly some new missions and possibly some new threats to face.  After all why else would you need to check if you're ready to go?

Game: Warhammer Old World

Faction:  Tomb Kings of Khemri

Reason:

One of the worst kept secrets is that GW have been planning on releasing a load of new sculpts for the Tomb Kings, with so many of them being really old and in some cases a little cartoony against some of the other forces on the battlefield.  We're hoping for a selection of Skeleton Reinforcements, such as bringing the Death Rattle Skeletons into the battle force (after all who says the dead raised had to come from the actual faction, they may be ones that were killed during a later incursion.) and some armoured horse-skeletons.

Game: Necromunda

Faction:  Imperial Guard

Reason:

In Necromunda Corpse Starch is one of the key things that is produced to feed the many.  The corpse guild are the ones behind it, so it is entirely possible that we could get either a military style faction to face off against with Imperial Guard weaponry/look or it could be some undead augmented servants that are part machine, part human body.  We can't wait to find out but are hoping for the later.

Game: Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

Faction:  Khazalite Holds

Reason:

Warhammer themselves are the reason of this philosophy.  On Sunday, an error was made that revealed a ton of new Dwarves in a banner on their own website, that had Golems, new infantry and of course some new heroes (including what looks to be a female hero.)

What do you think?  Are we right?  Well we'll all have to tune in on Friday at 1900 UK time on the Warhammer You Tube channel to find out.  We'll reveal how badly we did on Saturday.

All the best,

ThunderMouser
