The new edition season of Necromunda takes the action to the genestealer-infested Under-Underdark Underhells of Hive Secundus - and what a hideous collection of xenos freaks are these!

The Spyrer Orrus Hunters have received a similarly grotesque glow-up, trading in their classic strongman suits for more obviously off-world equipment requiring voluntary dismemberment to operate. I like the minor xenos vibe these new suits give off, but I don't think they're meant to be t'au tech anymore.

And just in case you didn't already hate assembling Van Saar gangers, the new Tek Hunters look to be every bit as fiddly as the core kit and then some.

Meanwhile, the brood scum are... brood scum. Nothing really special, just new heads on the extant hive scum bodies. Good use of the range, especially as they already looked like Genestealer Cult neophytes minus the cult medallions.

A strong value proposition, overall - although the most interesting part of this preview, for me, is the promise of new Zone Mortalis ruins coming at a future date.

Warhammer World Championships Preview

Last time on Warhammer Preview, it was the 40th Anniversary and I found the pickings a little slim given the hype and prestige leading up to Warhammer Day. This time, we're at the World Championships! Well I'm not at the World Championships, I'm watching the stream. But we don't have anywhere near as much hype this time, so hopefully this stream will just be some fun previews.

Warhammer 40,000

Okay, and we're starting with Necrons! And it's a new Orikan! Very nice!

Almost got all of the characters out of resin now. Also we're getting another Pariah Nexus Crusade set? Hopefully this won't just be converting rules from the last one. But I'm definitely nervous.

Next We have a Dark Angel! Looks like Asmodai!

He looks so badass! He's incredibly menacing and imposing! Absolutely awesome! This is the kinda thing that almost had me starting Dark Angels!

And here are our Knights! Freaking awesome! This preview is kicking off so much better than the last one! No sign of flails, though.

Strange that we're not getting any more reveals for AdMech though. Their Codex is supposed to be hot on the heels of Necrons. I love our boy on stilts, but that's not all they're getting I hope.

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

Time for some Flesheaters!

Oh wow! Look at that thing! The Mad King looks absolutely awesome! Once again, the AoS team is just killing it! All of these just look fantastic!

I also love how Paul and Eddie are keeping with the theme of the faction, describing all these models as glorious champions of light! Absolutely perfect!

Speaking of, in the add for the army box you've even got a watermark of how the Flesheater Courts see themselves. Nice touch!

And here is Ushoran again! Just absolutely incredible! Look at all that detail!

Between these guys and Nighthaunt, it's almost enough to make me want to switch to Death. But right now, I can't really afford to get any AoS stuff, so that's not likely.

Warhammer Underworlds

Last time, they had spoiled the Underworlds sets ahead of the Preview. But we're getting a proper preview this time! And it's Kruleboyz!

I can't easily get a picture here into the blog, but there's a lot of detail on these miniatures. Again, the AoS team is just fantastic.

Warhammer the Horus Heresy

Hopping systems quickly now, and it's Heresy and the previously previewed Assault Squad. Definitely looks good.

Nice to see how many options this kit comes with. This definitely helps make up for the wait and the stupidly overpriced upgrade kit.

Necromunda

Next we have a really cool buggy for Necromunda!

Don't have much else to say here. I love the new Necromunda kits, and if I had more time and money I'd definitely be collecting this game too. The team are making a big deal out of the pedigree of this vehicle frame, and it's nice to see the consistency across systems.

Kill Team

Eddie forgot where we were going for a bit. But we're onto Kill Team. And I see some Night Lords! Oh wow, these are so awesome! It's a freaking full Night Lords Kill Team!

This Preview has been knocking it out of the park! Look at that chainsword!

Hah! Someone in the chat is saying to tell Bricky.

They haven't mentioned a box or opponent or anything. Is this just a stand alone kit? Are we at the point where they're going to just drop new Kill Teams on us without waiting for a box? That'd honestly be pretty nice.

Warhammer: The Old World

And we're wrapping things up with Old World again, and finally some miniatures for Tomb Kings!

And how's that for a pretty kitty! Freaking Skeletal Crocodile Dragon! We knew Tomb Kings were coming, but it's nice to finally see something! This is so awesome!

It'll be a dual kit too, and the High Priest looks really awesome. The way the vulture is forming out of sand is so good!

I love how the chat is going nuts over the cat! They didn't have good angle during the actual preview, but now that I'm copying the links from WarCom we can finally get a good look at the kitty. Looks in rough shape. That King needs to take better care of his mummified pets!

You know, I think the actual quantity of models shown is less in this Preview then last time, but I definitely walking away from this one feeling better. That's what happens when you don't overhype something.

It's not all good news. It would have been nice to get some more previews for Legions, but it looks like they dropped everything in the Sunday Preview last weekend. We've also got Kill Team, but no Warcry. Still, they can't have every system in every Preview. And the miniatures are just so good! All and all a really good night for Warhammer.
