The excitement is building as we edge closer to NOVA Open 2024, and this year’s event promises to be a game-changer, especially for Warhammer enthusiasts. The Warhammer Preview Show is set to take place, and while we can expect some awesome new miniature reveals, the real highlight will be the roadmaps for your favorite Warhammer games. Let’s break down what to look forward to.
New Reveals:
- Stormcast Eternals: After their loss to the Skaven at the Hel Crown preview, the Stormcast Eternals are bouncing back with some new reinforcements. Expect some stunning new additions to bolster their forces in Warhammer Age of Sigmar. This could be a major turning point for those invested in the ongoing narrative between the forces of Order and Chaos.
- Blood Bowl: The pitch is heating up with something new on the horizon. Jim and Bob’s excitement suggests that there’s a team worth watching. Whether you’re a seasoned Blood Bowl coach or a fan of the spectacle, this reveal will be one to keep an eye on.
Roadmaps Galore:
This year’s preview is leaning heavily into the future with new roadmaps for several major games:
- Warhammer 40,000
- Warhammer Age of Sigmar
- Warhammer: The Horus Heresy
- Warhammer: The Old World
These roadmaps will offer insights into what’s coming later this year and beyond, potentially with a few teasers thrown in for good measure. If you’re planning your armies or campaigns, these roadmaps will be essential viewing.
