So I was at the New Year Open Day yesterday at Warhammer World. I didn't get as many pictures as normal, I mainly spent my time chatting to the designers, the Specialist Games team and the WHW team.
What pictures I took are below, main purpose of the post is to pass on the bit of info I picked up - and can remember.
Specialist
Games:
Adeptus
Titanicus:
Release is
still on schedule, they have had a date in place for some time now and
everything in on course for this. Date wasn’t given (didn’t want to jinx it),
but don’t expect anything at the Heresy Weekender – too soon for models to be
on show there.
Necromunda:
Hive War II
and the Orlock Gang will be out in the next month or two (I can’t remember if
he said February or March).
The other
gangs will follow in the same vein. Rules and models are done together so that
they can feed into each other, i.e. if a sculptor thinks of something that will
look great the rules will follow and vice versa. Main reason to not have all
gangs in one hit is to allow this to happen and to allow the gangs to be more
different with their own character, rules and weapons/equipment etc.
We may get a
Necromunda artbook.
More tiles
with specific rules (like chance of being shocked or being in the dark). Don’t
know on any release for them, there was just the artwork there.
As mentioned
before we are getting gangs in the pages of White Dwarf – it’s up to WD team
for when things go out but the running order looks to be:
Genestealer
Cult.
Chaos gang.
Bounty
Hunter gang.
As I wrote
after the last event the Chaos gang is based around the cultists in the old box
set but with extra’s like a chaos spawn if things go wrong…or right…
The bounty
hunters sounded really interesting, with lots of potential. Gang members could
include the bounty hunters FW are producing but also people like outcasts from
other gangs. They will have access to everything, more expanded list of
equipment and weapons. Inq28 was mentioned as the sort of thing you could do
with them with people having free reign to come up with members as almost
everything will be possible.
