  1. "Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment." But don't let me dampen your enthusiasm.
  2. Politely I consider it fairly far fetched. There are plenty of "goodwill" moves GW has had the chance to make in the past but since you can't put goodwill on a spreadsheet (i.e. you can't make a concrete link between players feelings and sales even if it seems pretty obvious) there's no reason to think they would start now.
  3. Taking steps to make rules free? What about putting a book into a launch box and then presumably charging more for the box is more free? Plus they're still a publicly traded company. I would be genuinely surprised at ANY change that means taking less money from customers. I've been wrong before (notably I never thought new plastic bloodknights would be cheaper than the finecast ones and I was completely wrong.) But I don't really see how anything from this article gives that impression. Edit: With my own bias in mind.
  4. I agree with you but anyone would be excused for thinking "we won't need to put out online updates and can instead just put them in the GHB" to mean "we won't issue online updates but we will sell them to you to get people to buy the ghb"
  5. As described it does make it sound like they're saying "we've heard yall asking for us to catch up to the real world and provide more digital rules. So here it is the big unveil LESS digital rules! That's right, FAQs and errata will now be available for purchase at your nearest warhammer worlds event!" The last bit is obviously a hyperbole and I honestly expect even GW won't try to sell you the FAQ. I just think it's worded in the most hilariously disconnected way.
  6. Catching up in no particular order. I am the one who hates GW and I will fight for my crown lol Second today's article doesn't do anything to the BoC rumors imo. If anything it strengthens them because it shows Whitefang Jr does in fact know things. They said "all factions" not "all current factions". They can easily start the edition and say okay here's all the factions (minus the one we took out. It's not a faction anymore so we didn't lie.) Meanwhile as others have said GW has blatantly misunderstood what "all" means in the past. At this point I have to be happy just to get an index and no updates after and meanwhile many posters on the forum seem to think that it's alright that beasts players are praying for scraps? I hope they don't come for anyone else's army with some vague justification. I mean idoneth we're made for AoS but they haven't gotten any big releases lately and they're barely in the lore so... I mean we could cut them to make room for some more elves and everyone should be fine with it right? Just roll them into Lumineth what's the big deal?
  7. Do you have a source on that? I'm not saying you're wrong but thats not what I remember the rumor being at all. I know we've had one rumor monger (whitefang jr) flat out say they're going. And zero rumor mongers (as I've seen) saying they're being revamped. I'd love to be wrong though.
  8. I agree with absolutley all of that. It's just that every rumor we have says to worry and so I am. I mean idk if Singapore Warhound had the indexes but even he gave a sad react to my question of beasts and we KNOW he's got access to something to take potato pics of.

  10. You know I'd like to apologize if I've been a miserable sod about GW and AoS of late. I still agree with most of what I've said but I don't want to give the impression I hate this game. I also couldn't be happier if I have to come back and eat 7 miles of crow (that idiom probably doesn't translate out of English very well lol) if GW doesn't remove beasts of chaos. So here's hoping everyone else is right and I'll personally apologize for every surly post I've ever made lol.
  11. I don't understand the attitude toward BoC rumors. It's like every rumor we have says they're being removed and this is the one time we don't believe them because... we don't want to? Then there's the "they probably meant they're getting updated/refreshed" line which is based on nothing but hopes and dreams. The rumors say nothing about a revamp and where would it even go with Chaos getting a skaven refresh, darkoath refresh, rumored chorfs and presumably something for Khorne or at least ONE of the big 4 sometime in the near future. Starts to look like BoC are getting a revamp like genestealer cults and sisters. In like 10 years.
  12. If every rumor turns out to be wrong then I'll be more excited than any hype build could possibly do.
  13. Why would I watch the hype trailer for a game I can't play according to GW.
  14. People kept saying "beastmen" in the trailer so I finally had to watch it and there aren't beastmen. There are tzaangor. Beastmen are definitely going away if they chose tzaangor for the lowest fantasy portion of their trailer where a regular gor would have fit perfectly. Following on I agree it's boring that sigmars big lie was the thing everyone has known this whole time. The ruination chamber which had the potential to be really cool SO FAR appears like it will just be blue eyes and popped collars. And yes the fact that not a single stormcast even dies in the trailer is cringey like Garrac said.
  15. Guys whitefang sad reacted my art gripe. Incoming Chinese gotcha game for 4th edition AoS confirmed! (This is a joke)
  16. This looks like cash grab mobile game art. I know it's not but geez is that a step-down in art quality.
  17. That cities warband is somehow stupider than the lumineth cow helms. What do you mean he's riding into battle on his sons shoulders? Are you implying his entire body is in that tiny space? Is he a bottomless torso? Is he undead? He's not a grail reliquae cause he's holding things. Edit: I see now he's sitting with his crotch behind his sons head and the straight on angle just made it look like he had no body. It's still a really stupid (and ugly) design choice with no explanation as to why he would ride into battle on his son and the rest of the "electroshock therapy" zealots are doofy looking in the worst way. The ghouls are meh. I've already forgotten what they look like. Cool ossiarch centaur. Everything else is meh and the sylvaneth are so hyper specific to the gnarlwood while also being a uselessly mixed unit as far as AoS is concerned. Like they wanted to make a whole army of "twistwood" or whatever so instead they just made a sample of every unit? ToW dwarves look really cool. I don't play them but neat. "Totally not Valkia" looks awesome but agree that it's a missed opportunity if it isn't a multi build. 40k is yawn and the killteam I literally don't even know if those are reused genestealers or they're just that bland. I wish they would have had the guts to call book 6 the beasts of chaos instead while also writing us out of the game.
  18. I won't sell but I won't buy anything from GW ever again.
  19. With every other rumor going around I'm inclined to assume the worst. But I suppose it is an assumption. My opinion stands if it turns out to be true though.
  20. The warhound sad reacted my question. Beasts are being removed from AoS. I wish Games Workshop could go under without costing everyone else their toys because (this word goes against forum rules) that (this word goes against forum rules) company and its (this word goes against forum rules) cohort of incompetent (this word goes against forum rules) suits who don't give a (this word goes against forum rules) about the actual players and fans. They don't deserve this world. (Warhammer not life).
  21. Can the warhound confirm whether beasts of chaos are in the index or not? T_T
  22. I like Rob because he really calls out the corporate BS metawatch articles for having more work done to them than Michael Jackson. And more importantly backs it up with real data.
  23. This is whitefangs perfect chance to save the forum by telling us if beasts are getting removed or reimagined... do it for the forum
  24. This implies stormcast, DoK and beasts are all where they want them to be? Since StD is doing better than them lol.
