Tiberius501 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 So 9th isn’t coming out yet, they’re doing another big preview, and are showing off the box set this Saturday. I’m willing to bet we will be sometime this month, so we’re just gonna have to sit tight. The only things left to release, besides us, is another 40k Campaign book, which they’ll want to space out from this one going up next week. So potentially (lol we say this every week) we COULD be next week? Or like... at some point within the next year... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhetoric Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Wow, another week of pure 40k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binks Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I don't want to be more pessimistic than I already am, but here is my two cents. They started releasing the Adeptus Mechanicus (fair by me), then they released Aeronautica Imperialis (filler for a whole week), and now a whole week dedicated to a single book and two miniatures, if they could/wanted to release the Lumineth they already would because this week is almost empty and I don't think lumineth would damage the sales of a campaign book, an HQ character or the Zoat for a specialist game. So if rumours are true, they want to release 9th by July and we are at June. They are releasing new info each day about the next edition (Warhammer Daily), and they have yet to release another campaing book, announce the new box, tease the FAQs, tease the new codexes, and a big etcetera. I'm starting to doubt they would interrumpt the hype train a whole week, or worse, two weeks, for the Lumineth release. I hope I'm wrong with all my heart.

Yuviel Lightbringer Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Considering that 9th is the BIG thing upcoming I would imagine that they will keep pushing the psychic awakening books until they and 9th are launched then we get our moment to shine, so I would think the lumineth will be August at the earliest as bad as that would be.

Acid_Nine Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 All I know is that I'm getting pretty sick of 40k, and I hope I get the army by next armies on parade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaliontil Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 An alternative (and optimistic) point of view: they have previewed everything revealed at LVO and most of the things from the first online preview. With, theoretically, 4 weeks to go before the preorder of 9th edition, there should be a slot for Pariah (next PA book) and then what is left from the previews: Lumineth, Blood Bowl and Scions of the Flame. My bet is on next week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would make sense as it would coincide with the delayed release of White Dwarf which as we already know is at the end of June and full of Lumineth content. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchaicArc Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 It would be extremely bizarre for them to release a white dwarf with us in a battle report and NOT release the battle tome and models around the same time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaedhras Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Well, WD 454 may be a way of reintroducing the faction at this point, teasing some of the rules and maybe helping people reconnect with the hype and the faction. Looking on the positive side of things, depending on when they open the pre-orders, I think I'll finish my PhD just in time for the actual release of the full range. If I was already thinking about treating myself to a sabbatical summer... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that the faction wouldnt need reintroducing if they kept information up, but that's just me. and good job on the PHD! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a very good point to which I fully agree. Additionally, we know for a fact that it's not that they ran out of art/lore/rules or whatever from where to write an article to keep things going for us... In any case, this silence is definitely not helping with keeping the interest alive. And thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminethMage Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Well, GW got quite a lot of complains on Facebook and Twitter, but they still won't commit to anything besides "soon". I honestly don't get that. Not that they had to re-arrange their schedule, but why they can't just come out and tell us when they are planned to be released. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got to be some sort of policy - and by all accounts the people who have to answer the questions are kept out of the loop - but I agree I don't get it either. With everything being thrown out of wack, a more generous dissemination of information would go a long way towards appeasing people. The not knowing is rough. I could easily wait out a couple of months for the Lumineth to be released if they told me that's how long it would take. Heck, at that point I could even save up for a big ol' gargant, or commit to some other GW purchases that I'm currently holding off on. There's enough uncertainty out there right now, I'd rather not have to deal with it in my hobby too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_LEAVER Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I was one of those posts lol. So true. I would not mind waiting at all if they just told us. It just sucks waiting every sunday to be disappointed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, for some reason, they have that policy that they won't provide a longer release schedule in advance, even in a situation like this. I don't envy the WarCom team there, although most of the feedback's been civil. I honestly don't know why, I think most people feel like us here, everyone understands that due to Covid 19 their release schedule had to be adjusted. But just let us know when it's planned for, so we're not constantly disappointed by another week of "soon". I see no benefit in doing that. But I'm sure there is some reason based on data why they are doing it connected to expected sales. Still, it sucks. 3 minutes ago, B_LEAVER said: I was one of those posts lol. So true.

Thaliontil Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) So, as it was said, with the WD coming out on the 26th/27th, the fact that almost everything from the reveals (except specialist games and Pariah) is already out and that we haven't had any AoS news in weeks...do we re-start the wheel of hope for this weekend or do I finally give up and buy some Idoneth Deepkin to make this long wait easier 😛 ?

I mean if some people are saying it, no less on the internet with no special insight into the cause at hand - it must be true! Without joking though, if they not at least put out the announcement for the box this Sunday or next, I think they’ll lose out business-wise. Because exactly that will happen, some people will just buy something else in the end. Especially as they aren’t even trying to keep people interest in the Lumineth at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it’s a big kick in the stones that we have such a big hullabaloos about the new edition coming up instead. I still feel like all this hype could have been better served being released near the launch date instead of over two months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepers Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I’m just very slowly finishing off my FEC painting while I wait... and really hoping that the announcement is this weekend, even if that’s unlikely. I just really hope we’re not waiting until august. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_LEAVER Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 If the starter doesn't come soon I'm probably going to start a new project instead. I really just want the book so I can see what my options are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
