That would be a very early announcement for 10th. Especially when there’s codexes for 9th not out or announced yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grungnisson Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Speaking just for myself, the difference is what they do to my levels of anticipation. I love rumours specifically because they're unconfirmed. This makes them tantalising. 'Is it true? What if only part of it is?', etc. They help build the excitement. Leaks are the opposite. If I know what's in a battletome, for example, then where's the excitement for the actual book? Part of the fun, again - for me, of new releases is the grand unveil. The surprise. Even as a kid, I have never ever tried to sniff out my Christmas presents in the house before Christmas. Why on earth would I ruin the unwrapping moment for myself? So that's what I'm here for - rumours. Wild speculations. Preposterous projections. Letting the imagination loose on what _might_ be true. But without fully knowing 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do undestand the feeling, I would be more ready to share it if we were talking of "grand unveils" or even "new releases". It's been quite a while that we haven't had one of those cool animation with voiceovers ("the bad moon spoke to me once" and the like) or anything more than pictures of miniatures and snippets of rules really. Coupled with the fact that new releases have been quite limited recently -ironically the larger one, Sylvaneth, went without leaks- my personal feeling is that not much is lost of the magic. So when I have to balance this limited negative to the social good of allowing customers to make better informed choices, I tend to favour the latter, at least as things stand. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would, however, point out that we have access to full and detailed battletome reviews at the very point those books go on pre-order, so there's nothing stopping you from being able to make an incredibly informed choice before a book is out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am referring to building lists, planning your miniature purchases and then building and painting them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is any reliable information you get before you have the book in your hand classed as a leak? What about youtubers going through the book on preorder day? Are they leaking? If not, then what's the difference between that and getting some photos of warscrolls earlier in the week? Personally, I'd rather know earlier.

Skoll Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I'd rather know earlier . Specially if purchases are gonna be needed. I'd rather know a profile is gonna be improved and have the chance to pick up a box than wait until suddenly every meta chaser buys out 5 and leaves nothing on the shelves 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogregut Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 For me, the rule side doesn't matter, I can choose not to read a leaked warscroll. Same that I don't watch 'man reads book' youtube vids. It's the picture leaks of models that spoil things for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the difference is that we all know Ash gets his review copy officially from GW and he has the book in front of him right there, in the video And I appreciate that we all have different approaches, but then again, you only need to look back in this thread to see how many people are disappointed 'there's nothing to wait for, for AoS this year'. Now, imagine all those StoD leaks have not happened and GD had not had to react with a hastened reveal... Imagine that, at this point in the year, we just found out about the book coming out this year, but we'd not seen any of the new sculpts yet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a difference between us all who are plugged into the rumours and the general release pattern having a pretty good idea that it’s coming next July and them announcing to everybody ‘hey you know that Imperial Guard and World Eaters codex that we’ve not officially announced yet? You’ll get 6 months use out of it. Enjoy!’ If anything, I could see some campaign books like Gathering Storm being shown to lead up to a new edition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red King Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I'm all for leaks. If games workshop wanted me to respect their desire to "surprise us" then they shouldn't have dropped all of high elves (including reboxed kits) into last chance to buy over a weekend with no warning and then said absolutely nothing about it after the fact. Or invalidated all of the gathering storm books months after they were released with a new edition, but hey at least then they admitted fault and offered refunds for any book that came out in a period of time that only covered the space marine one. Or put out mercenary detachments and articles encouraging the purchase of freeguild artillery right before dropping them from the game. People are spending a lot of money on their product and the way they encourage people to buy invalid products seemingly intentionally invalidates any desire I have to support the "hype of mystery!" 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDM Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Shout out to Liam from Tamworth on Radio 2 today this afternoon. Not sure if you frequent on here but thought it deserved a mention you said on live radio to all of Britain you were a Thousand Sons collector ! OJ Borg the presenter was apparently into Games workshop as well at some point but I'm not sure if he knew who the thousand sons were after asking what army you collect lol 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutton Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I don't understand the point of those monstrous rampages. As SoB, you're never going to be the one multi-charging anything, so why waste your action to make you and a monster fight last, if someone happens to run their monster into combat with two of your units? The wrestling move, while cool in theory, also seems just flat worse. What are the odds you'll be able to throw a monster off an objective into the perfect spot where they can't just pile back onto it? And D3 mortals doesn't make up for the -1 to hit. I'm no professional SoB player, but the fact that the rampages have significant downsides makes me think you'd never choose to use them over the generic ones. Maybe I'm missing something.
