Games Workshop have brought a lot of exciting new releases with them, letting fans and players get their first look at the miniatures for Adeptus Titanicus and The Battle of Pelennor Fields.
They also have a bunch of exclusive new board games that will be heading out for retail at locations such as Barnes & Noble.

GW just makes the most detailed minis on the market …
The most detailed plastic mini’s I can get behind, but the most detailed mini’s, no definitely not.
i’d argue KD:M for plastics to be honest although GW do make some nice stuff
Kingdom Death: Monster is on par with GW in my opinion and both are also very much on the edge of what it possible with plastics at this moment.
Kill Team looks awesome and it looks like so much fun to play. I can’t wait for the new Lord of the Rings game as welll.
The Pelennor thing and Kill Team: Yes, that is something. Hope there will be a Chaos Space Marine faction for the latter.
Interesting to see GW targeting games specifically at mainstream retail outlets again (unless I misunderstood?).
Barnes and Noble has added ‘geeky’ niche toys and games to their stores in recent years. Presumably B&N is expecting exclusive GW products to bring in more customers while GW gets to market to more casual players. I’m with you, will be interesting to see how this goes.
Looking forward to Titanicus, finally I will be able to get titans without paying heaps of money.
May have to get the Pelennor Fields box
What a difference a few years make.I remember you guys being told to stop filming at games day not so long back, and now they have people like James fronting a stand at gencon.
It really is astonishing when you look back at the attitude the company developed from 2010 or so onwards.
GW makes the best but they aren’t cheap.
Still the best in the biz
James is awesome
Still no price for Titanicus ?
I had a dream an it was 300€…
Bring on Titanicus
We need more James. And titans.
@dignity didn’t have the guts to ask for a prize 😉
Kill Team is calling my name. I was intimidated when I heard about the size of the rulebook, but then found out it’s mostly lore.
killteam units are looking very tempting.
Amazing Stuff !!
Would love to be there for kill team. Just painting my Skitarii now.
The new and improved GW is way better, a breath of fresh air compared to the old oppressively corporate ways. Definitely want to get in on kill team and I have a mighty need for titanicus.
Games Workshop are killing it this year! Excited for Kill Team, but more excited at the possibility of a movie/TV series based in the Warhammer universe 🙂
Titanicus looks awesome
Bring on the warhounds for titanicus
TITANICUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn Lord of the Rings why do you have a special place in my Heart…Thats a nice expansion
I was expecting more content from GW. Im curious what this space marine adventures is.
Titans, I’m not going to buy them, but I really want them
Kill Team, Renegade and Forgebane are all on my shelf waiting for assembly and paint, but Titanicus is a tough one. “Space Marine” the Epic Horus Heresy game was my first big GW purchase, along with loads of 6mm kits as they came out. As beautiful as Titanicus is, I don’t think I can start over in 10mm. Willpower, check book, and the I-wannas are all battling it out.
Just out of curiosity, for the LOTR board game that they’ve got, if we live in the UK how do we acquire it? I’m not sure if there are any Barnes & Nobles’ here :/ The Battle of Pelenor Fields is a must-have though
I’d love to learn more about the Warhammer boardgames. Everything looks so cool. Wish I was there.
The GW guys at Gencon were amazing and I can’t wait to play Titanicus. Also Kill Team looks amazing.
GW’s relentless assault on my wallet continues lol.
Hi James, where is Barns & Nobel outside USA
Titanicus is definitely really tempting, but I wish it would have been set in the 40k setting instead of the Horus Heresy setting. That way there might have been massive demons or Tyranids to fight. Totally could have had the traditional giant robot vs. giant monster thing going on.
no sound
Ah I like this new social GW! I mean it’s marketing, and they’re doing it well.
