The Rumour Thread


Recommended Posts

That article is so incredibly confusing as all it does is cause some worry rather than resetting expectations 

is it

a) saying different regions will have different release schedules eg America’s and eu and Australia will get releases which differ due to shipping issues

b) or that 40K releases being postponed to push out aos content 

c) that broken realms be’lakor is coming before broken realms teclis ?

d) that there are no releases in March?

e) that gw themselves don’t have a clue what’s going on but don’t want to say that 

f) none of the above

That would be epic, if they are staying bi weekly I think they will do big drops as normally that would be split into two weeks 

I would almost prefer it to drip fed weeks. Even if it means we only get one massive AOS release a month, it becomes easier for those who must have everything and helps with their budgeting. With the way things are in the UK I wouldnt be surprised to see a staggered schedule up until June.

New Model Monday starting tomorrow. Also looks like this week we will see the Ossiarch Warband silhouette.

People are going to hate me for saying it, but the crossguard looks a lot like a Lumineth one versus the circular-bend of the Soulblight.

I don’t mind what they do, I like big all in one releases as otherwise it feels incomplete. I’m just praying Lumineth are soon I’ve been saving and the longer the way the easier it is to spend the money on other things.

I hope they release Cursed City first. It can be played solo so it would make more sense to prioritize.

At the same time the new Lumineth has been teased and shown off much earlier.

They also could come in the same month since one is a "main" studio game and the other is a "Specialist" game.

I really don't get it. The Global COVID situation has been drastically improving over the last 2 months and somehow GW's supply chain issues seem to be getting even worse than they were before.

Unfortunately its not just a case of what's happening now. They've had almost an entire year of disruption at this point due to covid. That will have impacted every stage of their production and distribution system, so we'll likely be seeing the ripples of it for a long time to come. The first lockdown shut things down for a while, but everything picked back up fairly quickly after that, likely because the stuff being released was already in the pipeline and was almost ready to be distributed and sold. However, they would have been planning releases for years in advance during that time, so its the delayed effects which are going to be more profound in the long run than the short term ones.

I have no inside knowledge, so this is mainly what's been said by the various kickstarter projects I've backed in the last year. But the global shipping industry is in a tangle which will take months and months for sort out, but its not going to really be possible for them to begin untangling it properly until things have done more than just start to improve. Then the less said about Brexit the better, its ended up being a lot more damaging to UK industry and exports than a lot of people hoped, even if the writing has been on the wall for a long time (I'd argue since before the vote, but this isn't the place for that, so I'll say no more.)

 

On a lighter note, I'm very excited for the Belakor book, whenever we happen to get it. Its good to see that Broken Realms isn't just an aelf centric event.

I don't actually think it's Lumineth.

All of the Lumineth swords, even the one wielded by Teclis, have a slight flair heading towards the tip, and taper more towards the end. Almost like a stretched out leaf. They're also all one-handed or hand-and-a-half grips. This sword is perfectly straight, and has a proper two-handed grip one would expect on a claymore or flamberge,

The character seems to be wearing robes but the shoulders appear to be draped in fur, which none of the Lumineth wear. It actually reminds me more of the lady-knight from WHQ. And, as @GutrotSpume so colorfully illustrated, there's a distinct lack of over-the-top accoutrements on the model.

I could do with a little less negativity towards elves. Just to keep this a positive forum. 
 

And although I’m called elfhead I’m actually way more excited about the recent Slaanesh release and the death themed Quest game.

To me it looks either Soulblight or Aelves

Horns + Aelvish sword: Kurnothi?

This type of Aelves I think.. 

 

But more likely to be Soulblight - reminded me of the lady vamp in the Underworlds set.
