Some news from yesterday's Gamesday.
Official news (i.e announced on press conference by manager for Eastern Europe)
- HE release - October, this year.
- Lion chariot was presented by HE super weapon (are you unhappy with your lousy chariots? How about hellalotof ST6 hits? )
Unofficial info, squeezed from GW rep face-to-face:
- 3 types of drakes confirmed, no dragon units. New dragon model with multiple options
- Lion chariot - a new model, most likely only as hero's option, or for special char. The guy was extremely secretive, typical answer was "yes and no"
- "some" units will be always strike first.
- "we made some units very tough, even that they were pretty tough before"
- hero's sprue will be ready at the time of release
- army deal will most likely be 100% plastic (it's a tendency GW wants to follow, they have shown us all-plastic orks,dwarfs and empire boxes.
- some strange info on cores/specials. Silver helms will be special, but minimum N of core choices for HE will be 2.
When I tried to squeeze some info on new models I got pretty evesive answer about "some" new plastics. I have a suspicion that they're really not sure, if they're able to put new plastics (if any) in mass production before release. Or may be he just wanted to be a Keeper of Secrets.
Non-elves official news:
-DE book will not be released in nearest 2 years.
- the fate of VC book is not clear. No confirmed release date on them
- GW re-release Mighty Empire hexes (mainly for camapigns). They spent a lot of time, presenting them
- New forests, new buildings (really nice), empire wizards box, 10 & 20 flagellants boxes, empire "box of death" with Hellstrom rocket, black orks, were officially presented.
- They will release two new books for LOTR, and two new 40K codexes still this year....
