I don't know who this "Velmorn" chump is, but he's trying to steal my look!
But seriously, top notch skellies.

...Yeah, that's pretty cool, I guess.
And I honestly can't decide which of these is the awesomnest.
Feel free to call me Dave!

Also, 10th edition, but we were expecting that. I do like the sound of a reworked, streamlined game, but talk is cheap / the proof is in the pudding. Free datasheets for all existing armies, though, is an uncharacteristically smart move from GW vis a vis rules availability.

I guess for being 10,000 years old he still looks quite spritely. Still I am picking up a bit of a Jeff Bridges vibe lol

Re: Let's have a GW rumors and sneak peeks thread!
I'm getting strong Tywin vibes from ol' Leo there, but overall, I like him a lot. The head variants are all good, too. Nice sculpt, good moment, just enough swoosh for showiness. Job's a good un.
Also, 10th ed. Indeed. I await the pudding, but if it's truly streamlined, with free rules etc online then I'll happily give praise where it's due. I've been waiting for this since the kids started playing last year.
Oh, and that new Tzeentch warband for W:UW look really nice. Im super broke this year (Mrs MiJ is changing jobs. Less money, more sanity) so I'm not about to rush out and buy, well, anything, but if I was, I'd be eyeing up Underworlds again.

I will both miss the 9th ed Codexes and be glad to see the back of them; Indexhammer gives them a lot of opportunity and I hope to see them make the most of it!
Everything else I'm hearing is good, looks like some AoS influence which is exciting.
And of course I was an Iron Hands^H^H^H^H Dark Angels fan all along.

Helmet & Robes FTW. That's the real DA style.
10th sounds okay. More reactions in the opponent's turn (they were never going to do alternating activations), tougher vehicles requiring specialist firepower to take out, an emphasis on less rules to carry (for all I love 30K, those books are heavy), less CP/strategem abuse, and morale having a friction/attrition role are all positives to me.
So far, so good...

Well, yes, Jeff would be far too jovial a sort, so I'll go with Tywin.

As for the other stuff in the preview, the new 'zards look good. I already have a load of infantry and cavalry, so I'm not in a hurry to buy them, but the new Kroxigors are on my "want" list. The new vampire mini is pretty cool too.
The Underworld's stuff doesn't really interest me, though I can see why M_i_J likes the Tzeentch set.
The 40K beastmen look cool, if they are customisable enough to build several squads from, I can see them being very popular as alternative cultists for 40K/30K.
Obviously I was hoping for more 30K goodies, but a new campaign book sounds interesting, even if I don't play either of the two legions in it.
A solid 'meh' on the Cities of Sigmar minis for me. I miss the renaissance/apocalyptic death cult vibes of the old Empire figures. These new ones seem more generic than the previous range, and there are cheaper options for generic fantasy humans.
Overall, some stuff I love, some I like and some that doesn't interest me. I'm going to try to stay cautiously optimistic for 10th.

Re: Let's have a GW rumors and sneak peeks thread!
Incidentally, that probably-carnifex in the trailer made me happy. Quite aside from the fact it was munching mareenies like popcorn, it looked gratifyingly reminiscent of an old school screamer killer, whilst retaining enough of the current aesthetic not to jar. If thats how the mini looks, I'll be a happy camper (and yes I know I don't play nids, but I've always had a soft spot for them, especially the og screamer killer.)
