The Rumour Thread

Finally!!! So excited for this release, can't wait to get my hands on the books and start planning armies!! 

It's not the full release however, the foot knights for brets and catapults for both armies are missing. Plus the basic plastics for both armies don't seem to be available outside the big boxes.

How do you mean? What else could have been shown? It can't get any bigger than this for a specialist game. It's already stretching the limits this pre-order for a specialist game.

I was referring to the sentence from yesterday's article ("special reveal to ring out the year")

I’m open about being whiny, And hand on heart the majority of this release has me a little hyped. But ain’t no way they’re just rereleasing Settra. The Sphinx, yes, the Ushabti even, decent models, ahed of their time. But Settra, I was hoping, would get a Nagash Level miniature.

 

Maybe I need to temper What I think the Old World is and compare it more to Horus Heresy.

GW was comparing it to 30k all the time. Seriously, I've seen so many people surprised by a lot of things that they could be aware of if only they've read the articles.

Man....It's just wonderful. How long have we waited for this day? And it's finally here. Welcome back Fantasy. The World that paved the way to the amazing Fantasy setting we have now. 

Now we have new lore we have never seen before, new stories to tell and more material for glorious conversions and ideas for every game system. 

Happy new year you wonderful lot.

Ok, In all fairness Heresy is also getting - A Mini game version, upgrade kits, and Updated versions of Primarchs which are yet to be 10 Years Old. I don’t think wanting a Settra to the Quality of say, Horus Ascended is me all that Surprised, or brash because I’ve skipped a couple articles….. The Plastic Skellies are a bit of a let down but really happy to see a lot of the Tk range return (The Knights and Guard haven’t aged a day) But The Biggest Character Namesake of the Army, could very well have had a collectors version model - Something really special. And as an alternative to that if they didn’t go down the fancy resin model route, then a plastic update of which could also making a TK/Prince chariot. 
 

It’s not that seeing Settra return specifically has irked me, it’s that not seeing his update, to me, kind of sets a precedent about what we’re going to see and not see for the other armies. I Know it’s a bit of a Knee ****** reaction. But if the Big Release army is not getting an update for it’s best known Character then what hope do the other armies have? That, to me Is surprising and not something I’ve read in any article.
 

Happy to be directed to the text that states so though.

IMO it was not said in a single text, but it was easy to get to that conclusion by reading between the lines. Just the fact that HH wasn't that popular before the second ed and that is Forge the team behind limits heavily the number of minis they can produce for the game, and after seeing the Brets range reveal it was easy to see that not a single big named character is going to be reworked for the moment. The focus seems to be generic heroes instead.

Oh, the same 30K that gets S-tier resin miniatures of important characters like the primarchs? Settra seems like he would be a great example of a very important character that could get a new resin sculpt.
