Adepticon Reveal 2018
WOKE UP THIS MORNING, FEELING FINE...
It is Adepticon and as is tradition Games Workshop took this opportunity to reveal their big projects for the next year or so. With the reveal being at 2:00 GMT, I knocked it on the head to check in the morning.
With our joking predictions aside (Warhammer movie; Dolph Lundgren as Dorn, Antonio Banderas as Sanguinius, and Codex: Squats) I logged in to check the Community page
GIANT FRICKIN' KNIGHT

After a cracking video, with a grimly faced hirsute man giving me facial hair envy, a new Knight is revealed. With more dakka than an average Ork army, this Knight looks great. I especially like the shoulder turrets.
And now that I have mentioned Orks...
IS IT CODEXES OR CODICES?

After the aforementioned Imperial Knights kit, it's only right they should have a new codex. I am curious to see if any Sentinel sized critters get added in.
Then comes Harlequins to round off the Aeldari races, and Deathwatch to kill them all. Even with my Anti-Imperial zeal, I have a soft spot for the Deathwatch.
But this comes to my only gripe, more waiting for Orks. (Although this does give me more time to save some pennies in the Squiggy Bank!)
The next Warhammer 40,000 news was the roll out of Roll Call, an official 40k army builder. After playing with the AoS one, this is a great idea.
HE WATCHES, LURKING BENEATH THE SEA
After a lot of teasing, the Idoneth Deepkin have finally been shown as the new faction for Age of Sigmar!

An Octopus with a knife!
This new faction does not disappoint. The pale skinned eyeless warriors look ace, and I am interested in seeing how the army works as a whole.
EVIL BALL OF DEATH!
This is bizarre in an amazing way.

No idea how it will fit in to AoS, but I like it.
IT'S CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT
SOMETHING EVIL'S LURKING FROM THE DARK

This intrigues me. I would like to know more.
I'M GOING DEEPER UNDERGROUND
After the announcement of a Warhammer TCG, which doesn't interest me, it was GW pledging more support for the fantastic Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire.
This is great as it is a brilliant game to introduce people to the hobby and even to convert card players.
Glossing over the next few:
FINALLY...
