ATTENTION ❗ In about an hour (10 am UK / 11 am Europe) preorders for the #Warhammer FOMO Christmas boxes will go up. Judging by last years, they'll be gone quickly, so don't miss out. But first, check my guide on which battleforces have the best savings, and which are better to skip: buff.ly/DMpkVNS

Can't believe how much insanely cool stuff was presented in the #WarhammerPreview! Really loved all the Nurgle & Darkwater sculpts, the Battle-Pilgryms, Aranthus, and the new Necron character and Nightbringer. But Cathay and the Ultramarines were also super cool! What were your favourites?
