Gordrakk, Vampires, Slaanesh - it can't come soon enough !!! Honestly they all are so awesome and at least 2 of them are actually happening!! 25 minutes ago, Kramer said: Took, what felt like, 5 years but hey you did win I'll take a win where I can mate, especially this year haha, heres hoping 2021 can bring you new Duardin!!

TheMuphinMan Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I think its gonna be a Slaanesh BR book and a Umbraneth Tome in Febuary Kind of like how Skaven got a book last year in January then Carrion Empire release with Flesheater Courts in Febuary.

alghero81 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Is people still believing in AoS 3.0 this summer? Unless broken realms is made of 2 books or they double the books in spring I see it highly unlikely they are still on schedule... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morglum StormBasha Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Whatever else drops gw will release aos3 in June-August 2021. Their whole financial year rests on having a tent pole release in q1 of their financial year. aos is running 4 months behind but they’ll get all the planned battletomes out by June, they’ll just push back some 40K or specialist games and we’ll then probably see less aos post summer 2021 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few more Broken Realms books to go, a lot of Warhammer 40K stuff (since we are going to get a lot of codexes now that the new edition is out) and not to even mention other games. If they need to delay some releases a bit, I would probably bet on finishing Broken Realms event in 2021, and then announcing AoS 3 either in late 2021 or some time in 2022. Oh, and there's "WH: the Old World" as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragest Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Guys, they need 3 months to release Slaneesh, do you really think gw is going to have malerion/vampires/whatever ready for february?

Unfortunately I think you’re on the money. The new battle tome will be slaanesh I reckon. Which means they’ll probably be the last book before the new edition... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was years away at announcement and because everyone knew that going in, it would make sense for it to be the first on the list of delays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that COVID delays Old World at all. For a business like GW, COVID primarily impacts shipping/supply chain and manufacturing. Old World doesn't need either of those things for years.

Shearl Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 If I had to guess the main reveals are going to be the new Slaanesh mortals we haven't gotten a decent look at. And then maybe a teaser trailer for an undead themed Warhammer Quest, which ideally will eventually lead into a undead release (in the vein of the Tzeentch stuff in Silver tower). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakai Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 tangibly specialist games probably get the delays the most, not sure if Underworld is going to keep their roadmap with the new schedule. Necromunda and blood bowl are probably also delay as well while i am not sure if GW is going to delay the next edition, since 40k pretty much got through their launch in mist of the pandemic as well, i have a feeling they just bull doze there way to releasing it by October especially that they probably have a good chunk of the new edition done by now. in truth they only need 4 more broken realm books to cover every faction in AoS, monthly release of those books probably get them all out by June/july.

I think it is impossible to say, but it is clear that things have fallen behind. I think that what we can infer is that a new edition was likely in the summer at the end of Broken Realms but now we are even less sure about that as things are releasing at a strange rate. The Slaanesh Warcry reveal is a perfect example of how strange the release windows have become. On a side note I am very excited for tomorrow's rumour engine advent picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badnewsbeers Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 What is the driving force for a new edition? I feel like 2.0 is good and I’m not particularly keen to rebuy battletomes again yet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mostly that GW had this structure for 40k leading up to an edition shift as well. personally I’m with you. I can’t image aos needing such big changes it warrants an edition change. on the other hand it will inevitably garner a lot of excitement and with that sales. the only I would want from a 3.0 is if they could reverse the power creep. 2+ rerollling saves battleline that redeploys before the game start is just no fun. Just like 1+ unrendable save monsters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice if they cleaned up all saves now that the battletomes are all out. 4+ is probably the highest saves on Battleline should go without expending a resouce.

cyrus Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) According to coin collection death guard supposed to be december and hedonites of slaanesh in January. Due to Covid and Brexit is all postponed a month Later so Death guard/January and Slaanesh/february.

I feel like 2.0 is good and I’m not particularly keen to rebuy battletomes again yet. Whilst I’d say there’s probably been enough little rules and extra bits and bob’s added to justify a tidy up and a new edition of the core rule book, I honestly would say it has little to do with the system. Soul Wars / Tempest of Souls / Storm Strike will all be 3 years old this sumner, and whilst it’s still a great set of models I imagine the number of people buying them now is a trickle compared to what it was. So new trio of starter sets, along with the attendant marketing hype, and you not only shift a boat load to existing players but you generate a load of interest, press attention and on-board a whole new set of people. And if you’re doing a new starter set then it stands to reason you’d do a new core book, advance the storyline, and tidy up the rules/import any interesting bits that have worked in 40Ks last edition. So in those terms i think a ‘new edition’ every 3 years is about right then, though marketing aside I don’t really think in terms of AoS2/3 etc really anymore, at least for the foreseeable future. it’s more like different seasons of the same game, a constant evolution of the story, each starter set sets the arc for the next few years and fiddles with the rule set without changing it so much it feels like a genuine new game, especially as there’s other routes, Warcry, Underworlds, Quest etc to explore different ideas. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
