Another year, another Warhammer Day. Where does the time go? To celebrate, Games Workshop ran a stream teasing some new units, refreshed game systems, more battleforces, and possibly the weirdest Kill Team I've ever seen. I've known about it for an hour and am already obsessed.
Because there's a lot to go over, I've rounded up the major headlines from Warhammer Day so that you can see everything that happened at a glance. Want to skip ahead to the game system that interests you most? Hit the nav bar along the top of your screen (or on the sidebar if you're reading from desktop) to jump to that section. It may feel as if the latest edition has only just dropped and is thus still flavor of the month ( Kill Team: Hivestorm might be the best starter set Warhammer has made, if you ask me ), but we've already got our first glimpse at the next expansion.
'Brutal and Cunning' pits a hobbit-esque Ratling sniper team with a love for tea against melee-focused Orks who have gone overboard on ways to mess foes up. The result is a little more lighthearted than we may be used to, particularly after the grim units of Bheta-Decima and Kill Team: Salvation . A Ratling wielding the unit's biggest sniper rifle is using his power pack to heat up a grilled cheese sandwich along with a cup of tea, for example.
There's also a faithful hound who's there to warn his masters when danger is near. Considering the Orks included in this pack, that 'danger' wants to get very near indeed. These units hit pro.
