Get shown in preview: Imperator Titan (not sure if just Adeptus Titanicus size), Lion el' Johnson, Future Vlka Fenryka & Thousand Sons units
Shocker of the event: Imperator. Plastic Thunderhawk revelation. 

Hector

Access: Magnus or Valdor, the custodes grav transport, the moritat character previewed at warhammer fest, scarab occult terminators and wolf guard upgrade/complete set
Preview: Valdor or Magnus (I think we'll get access to one and the other will be previewed, re-worked dreadnought drop pod (as that has disappeared off the face of the earth in recent weeks)
Shocker: Plastic thunderhawk or Sanguinius preview! Maybe even the combat shields Spectre asked for! Or even Horus Heresy Battlefleet

Atia
See on display:
Custodes and Sisters of Silence. Maybe Magnus. Hopefully some Thousand Sons and Vlka wips!
Have access to in sales:
Anything for the sons of Prospero will make me happy - the Crimson King would be the jackpot though! Oh, and I would like to see that Moritat finally get released ...
Get shown in preview:
Hopefully some artwork for the Adeptus Titanicus Black Book during the seminar (although I think it may be mostly a rules showcase).
Shocker of the event:
Sanguinius?^^

What do you think we will see? Comment below.

  1. Valdor is a great shout! Didn't think of him when doing my list!

    1. Good point. I thoroughly concur.

    2. I bet Valdor and Krole will be paired like Erebus/Kor Phaeron or Abaddon/Loken. the Souless Queen is not much bigger than a regular human and the price for a miniature from the Characters Series is usualy high, so a bundle may be more appealing if you put a big man like Valdor into it. And a diorama would create some cool contrast of shape and size between the two Talons of the Emperor. :^)

    3. Krole would be interesting since in the artwork she's basically a generic Sister of Silence, due to the artwork coming before most of her characterization. They'd really have to come up with new visual details to differentiate her from the crowd.

    4. She is supposed to have one of the Emperors old weapons, a huge Zweihander he used during unification. that could be pretty unique if its noticeably larger and more ornate than the regular Sisters weapons.

  2. I think there will be a sneak peak of Valdor as well

    1. We are playtesting the rules on Friday night with 40k scale constructs :) expect an in depth review on Titan Owners Club

  4. I think some custodes character would be a good shout. Imperator titan and plastic thunderhawk would send me over the edge. I'd be as well having my HR dept send my wages to GW!

    Hoping for any and more information on my dark angels. Even just a snippet of art work from the angelus preview :)

  5. Anything involving Valdor and the Legio Custodes would be fantastic. <3 Since the cover of Inferno features one of the 'Boltodes', I think we can assume they will be displayed. Magnus would be a good surprise too ! :^)

    1. The bolter custode on the front of the books is a space wolf friend, hate to break it to you :(

      Delete
    2. I'm 99% sure it is actually a Custodes. I thoroughly compared it with my own spear guys, the pauldrons and legs fit perfectly. We will have the answer very soon now and the model looks promising anyway. ^^

      Delete
    3. I am in agreement that it is 99.9% a custode

      Delete
    4. I concur. Not long now until I get that pic though!

    1. They are finished so cabinets at least, sales if lucky.

      Delete
    2. Would really love Dorn to be previewed.
      Excited to see any kits for the Rout and any upgrades for the plastics (fingers crossed for boarders). Expecting the Fists Catapractii upgrades to be on sale.
      The surprise for the weekend I hope is something out of the black, like Salamander Saturnine Terminators!

      Delete
    3. Saturnine Terminators?!

      Would love there to be a Malcador model to tie in with the Talons of the Emperor! Along with Valdor and Krole!

  9. I'm hoping for dome Sisters of Silence,they've been rather silent (Hur Hur) about them so far. Wishlisting; a New dreadnought type, a new tank, and those terminators from the Meduson Anthology with two heavy weapons (I need these the idea is too cool).

    1. Those are the Saturnine! (Maybe, possibly)

  11. I really hope Magnus is going to be available. But mostly I can't wait to finally get rules for thousand sons!

  12. It would be cool to see some Dark Angels models teased in the Angelus section of the Weekender :)

  13. I want custodes termis. At least a confirmation that they are in inferno. Would be awesome if you could check on that while you're at the event <3
    God freaking dammit why the hell do i have to have a test exactly on the day i could get access to inferno :'(

  14. Love the shameless wish listing!

    On display: My prediction is a resin thunderhawk, maybe a subjegator Titan (this depends on who did the thawk). Also tyrants. Custodes bolter armed troops. Maybe some TS and VF upgrade packs. Adeptus Titanicus models on display also.

    For sale: Moritat, spear armed custode dread, custodes transport, more weapon upgrades.

    Magnus, as a preview.
