I'll keep December in mind as possibility but I'm still hoping for the October release, I guess October 10th is the G-Day and if it isnt then I'll wait for Decemeber. I feel like it would be a bad move to drop the audio drama before the faction proper, and it doesn't seem like a move GW would normally make. Then again, nothing's been normal this year . . . October looks to have a pretty tight schedule. They might be able to squeeze the Sons in, but it'd be a heck of a trick. The real question is how long before they start dropping lore articles. Not sure if it will help to determine the time-table, or make the waiting any easier, but at least it'd be something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect them to drop in October as well, towards the end. So then SoB has too be in the next few weeks or they won’t come until we start the holiday season in November. Blood Bowl s2 is a Holiday release, so November or December. The Necromancer team could come for Halloween I guess, but the new season isn’t coming in October.

I feel the Lore articles will definitely help. I'm not sure how long out they would start though because Lumineths began and then we went into Lockdown so they became drip fed. I agree that it would be an odd move to release the Audio Drama without the Faction as well and October is going to be stacked with releases so unless the AD release date is changed, which it very well could be, the Sons still have the slightest of chances to drop in September.

JPjr Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Yeah dude in my GW shop yesterday seemed to think new Blood Bowl box would be v late November, or wk 1 of December. the undead team is, supposed to be, part of the current editions release so yeah probably late Oct or Halloween itself as that’s a Sat this year I think. Underworlds in Dec after BB. Behemat Oct 10 new Warcry box November... with new shattered lands box(Ed) or whatever they’re called. I’m hoping for more underground maps and scenery. I want to join them boards together to create underground maps for small AoS games. but we shall see, everything’s all over the place innit. And the news coming out of the UK ain’t great right now & let’s be honest things aren’t going to get any less complicated over Christmas... or indeed the new year when going by their current antics the British government finally manages to become the first state in the world to sanction itself back into being some kind of subsistence economy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since its avalon hill almost certain its a boardgame. My main doubts are... - is going to have any minis? - is GW going to be somewhat involved? If GW is not involved its not going to be set in the old world. If there is some kind of license agreement could use the setting, but probably no minis.

Since its lasting popularity was mainly because of the miniatures and 3D scenery, it would be a bold move to remove that. I’d rather think they’ll set it in a world that’s just enough not-oldworld that they don’t need a license. At least that’s what I would do. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Didn't GW let the Hero Quest licence laps in some form? OF course sometimes there are multiple sublicences and contracts and copyrights so even if the core lapses the whole product can be hard to deliver in original form.

(on Amazon is 10th of Dec, they are usually 3-4 days late). - Novella series this time is only 5 books and hard-back instead of soft-back (not a big fan of HB) According to hints from black library (site and amazon) Blood Bowl new box should be pre-order last week of November for release first week of December. Warcry Catacombs should be next month instead. As far as I remember they never released a book/audio linked to a new product without the product itself. 10th of October Sons is a safe bet in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I'd figure they'd try and have Warcry and the Dok/Slaanesh boxed sets release in different months. Whilst they are different product lines they are connected to the same core game AoS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasbro is the one that has the heroquest license (that's why GW goes with the WarhammerQuest line), but although heroquest has a fairly generic fantasy setting (orcs, elves, barbarians, skeleton warriors...) certain pieces are clearly GW IP (fimir, bloodthirsters, etc. So this one is another possibility, make an almos identical game with miniatures that removes all GW IP. Doing this the game is not going to be that different from the original (I didn't know heroquest was related to warhammer for a long time XD) 13 minutes ago, michu said: And as some people are using AoS rules for playing games in the Old World, who's gonna stop us do the same to the Heroquest. Well, thats the cool part of the hobby, the possibility to adapt it to our tastes. It's not that hard to look for an old HQ board print it on a foam board, and have some dungeon crawling fun with whatever rules you want (I've been tempted to do it for a long time XD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Just now, Gotz said: bloodthirsters, etc. I'm pretty sure that we're going to see Gargoyle. Just remove the overly Khorne symbols and voila - you have a balrog-like creature with no IP infringment! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while Disney is at it making all of their properties Live Action could they hurry up and do Gargoyles!?

EccentricCircle Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I know its off topic, but I'm very excited for this week's Lord of the Rings releases. I use the Balin's tomb door a lot in different games, and really want to get another one! The new book looks great too. I can pass on the Underworld's stuff for now. Still never found anyone who actually plays that game around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we have other two weeks of potential releases... I'm gonna enumerate all the thing we are going to have in the next months for all the games Underworlds: Next season is in December Warcry: Without a release date. AoS: Broken Realms date is in November 40k: The big releases are in October, and the next Codex are for the 4Q. Necromunda: Orlocks are for the 4Q (October-November-December) Titanicus: I think the season is over. Aeronautica Imperialis: I think the season is over. Blood Bowl: The Necromancer team and the new edition don't have any release date, but the rumours said that the next season will be an end of the year release. So, the things that could be announced in the next two weeks are: Sons of Behemat Necromancer Team Warcry Catacombs. Also, sorry if my English is not enough good or clear.
