Garrac Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Having the reveal in less than 33 hours made me realise we still havent had any more leañs about the content than those spanish ones. Weird. GW stuff tends to get leaked two exact days before, at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzalyn Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 22 minutes ago, Jetlife said: Is there really a launch box allegiance pattern or is it just been coincidence based upon what armies they have coming out. I know it obvious to say it's Chaos, Death, Destruction, Chaos or is that just the way it shook out. I don't know that they go into a new edition saying we have to plan and design an army for a specific allegiance. So far the launch armies have kind of been a need of replacement. AOS needed spirit/ghosts,needed to replace Bonesplittaz and Skaven was overly due a reboot. I doubt they make a conscious effort to keep a given pattern. A pattern is easy to see when we have little data to look at as we have right now. We are going to the 4e yet, we would need to see what happen around a couple more edition. If 5e goes with death again and 6e with destruction maybe there is a pattern. Let just hope they move away from stormcast as the other faction when we get there or we will see a couple more cuts to hold all those new models. One thing I think we can discard is the notion that the faction in the launch box will give the theme of the edition. Like calling 2e the death edition or 3e the destruction edition. While we have significant releases for those grand allegiances in those editions, I would argue that other allegiance also got big releases, if not bigger (Gitz and Lumineth in 2e, Slaves, Cities and Seraphon in 3e).

AoS has a smaller community and thus the leaks are rarer and smaller :C Our current set of leakers seem to either have dropped all the info they currently had or are making sure not to get found out by big bro James Workshop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollow Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) I'm guessing packaging companies may have received a telling off after ToW leaks as well. Edited May 15 by Gaz Taylor No Swearing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite times at Mantic was when a packaging supplier brought samples to show us, and they'd picked GW scenery kits that hadn't been released at the time. We had a nice look at all the new stuff that was due out soon. This was 10 years ago-ish but was good fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakai Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 There is some notion though that they are avoiding SM/SCE vs Imperium/Order army for edition launch boxset at least from what I heard. Of course Sigmar has better categorization then 40K as the Grand alliance system is more develop then 40K Imperium/Chaos/Xenos. And they do market the Grand alliance when it comes to release.

Mutton Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 The ultimate marketing move would be to pull a Nintendo and near the end of the Preview tell us that the core rules are "up on the website right now!" GW isn't gutsy enough for that though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, two half naked men + spearhead = bizar. if they wanted to do wrestlers as marketing they should have asked Hulk Hogan. That's the only wrestler I know.

Lucentia Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) I dunno, I'm not exactly a wrestling fan, but it seems fine to me? Minor celebrity endorsement is hardly bold new ground for advertising, I'm not gonna stay up till 4 am or whatever to watch, but if they throw up a video I'll check it out. It's a better ad than a sillhouette of a mini that'll get shown in full 2 days later, at least. Edited May 15 by Lucentia 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip is English and Claudio is Swiss, it probably because they both in Europe. i think they are also Warhammer fans irl so easier to convince or they market themselves to want to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also from Europe, never heared off them. I even didn't know Europe had a wrestler scene. I thought it was something from the USA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
