It's not that simple. The warscrolls need to be converted to the mobile template and if everyone is stuck with a "all hands on deck" situation for the 40k app (which launched with HUNDREDS of typos) then it's going to interfer with the AOS app. I'm no more excited about it than anyone else but it's the situation we're stuck with, especially since GW dropped the ball so hard before handing to app ofver to Brandt to fix.

I doubt we're going to see a new battletome for them, but I coukd see new rules in Broken Realms being a thing.

I'm pretty sure the app team is working on 40k's app which is still a beta level mess. So bad at launch it makes Cyberpunk look well polished.

You'd need to check with the store but any store that would celebrate while closed is post poning it till they reopen.

They said any closed stores atm will celebrate when they can safely reopen.

Sounds like the issue is mission design related more than army related.

They mention the hammer has special rules, so it makes me wonder if we have a new unit coming later this year with this hammers.

The clear answer is to magnetized the models and have spare bases so you can use them on both as you see fit.

Likely delayed by Covid.

I could see it happening depending on how many Broken Realms books need to come out first.

Broken Realms had real lore too.

I'm in the "interested in collecting them in the future" camp. At the moment my attention is on Deepkin but I do like the Lumineth concepts and will be picking them up in the future. For now though: rolly polly fish elves.

Let's not forget that AoS and 40k have seperate teams, so it's more of a release schedule issue than one tied.to the devs. Books also take at least 18 months from start to release so any major work aimed at an army like SCE or Deepkin who have internal balance issues but don't really NEED models might be in progress now, or just waiting for an open release window.

It's a poi t being extrapolated out of some very small data points. Hedonites are getting a massive update despite Chaos getting a large addition of models recently so it feels more bias than any actual valid complaint about favoritism. The death release may also be fairly sizable, but we're too far out to know the details there. Don't get me wrong, I want GW to do bigger releases for every army, and I hope Broken Realms becomes a regular fixture for them to push small updates for armies so we can space the battletomes out a bit more with bigger model releases, but I'm not really feeling elf-based favortism is actually a thing. Also CoS really needs a line revamp come the next book. Old World was cool and all but I can't be alone in wanting mixed race units standard along with seeing how life in the Mortal Realms looks beyond the Old World cosplayers.

There has been a lot of salt recently about some imagined flood of elf releases, even aimed at Deepkin (who got their first and only update since 2018 via Morathi) and honestly it's starting to sound like the complaints of the entitled to be honest. No one race (other than arguably humans since they're in all the Chaos, SCE, and CoS books) has gotten a disproportionate amount of releases in 2nd edition and honestly making up things like "elves are getting too many releases" is just silly. I get it, we all want more. Problem is 2020 was a slower release cycle for us thanks to Covid so GW is stuck playing catch up for stuff we should have seen months ago. Give them time to catch up, let's see what Broken Realms has before we start pointing fingers about armies getting neglected and be cool to each other.

Biggest issue for SCE is internal balance and the deepstrike mechanic that's negated by some missions, but the new Morathi stuff helps with both.

If I understand the problem it seems to be more shipping related. Things are really back up in the ports in Britain.

We know Death has something coming, and I feel like people are exaggerating the elf releases way too much. One new model for DoK and one new army in Lumineth (who got the only elf release of 2020) who got delayed upwards to 6 months and look to be only getting some Broken Realms addition of a couple warscrolls. Destruction got one of the 5 books for 2020, and three books in 2019, not to count the extra rules Gits got in the last few White Dwarf issues so it's not like they're exactly being ignored (plus, as I said elsewhere we don't know what Broken Realms will have yet, it's too early to be making sweeping claims of what's coming). I know 2020 felt a decade long, but we only got 5 books during it, and only one of those books was Aelf related. Chill out people.

Nothing is stopping GW from releasing AoS and 40k in the same months either. If we're only seeing 1 40k release a month, and they're doing releases every other week, then they can still slot AoS into Q1 with no problem.

We're only one book into Broken Realms. Let's save the table flipping and claims of elf favortism for a bit later on. Right now we've just seen Morathi start the ball rolling and we don't know where it's all going to go from here. I get it, the internet needs to be mad about something, but I don't think we know enough about the story they're telling to make judgement calls on who is or isn't getting stuff.

Leave the fish elves alone, Morathi was their first rules update since they got their book. They haven't even gotten a token character model update since they launched.

Yeah, circumstances are definitely coloring expectations. IIRC didn't the Lumineth limited run box drop upwards to 6 months before the book did? I suspect the book was supposed to be out within a month of that and that's creating a bit of a knock on effect as well.

I mean if I need to shave a stunty.... More seriously I feel like some armies need updated books to get them into the modern design space (IDK, Nurgle, almost all of Death, ECT) before worrying too much about new models. Lumineth are in a weird place because we all know they launched with maybe a quarter of an army, but most established armies need their rules fixed more than they need a large model update.

Didn't KO gain a character in Aether War? And both KO and FS are on their second books. Meanwhile IDK still has their first and only book, no new models and still need things to be fixed. But sure, the beards have it worse.

The Morathi book was more than just lore and faction rules too. It updated some warscrolls that desperately needed to be updated, added lore that actually changed the setting (take notes 40k, THAT is how you do lore updates), and included a campaign to play out the events. It's a well rounded book that supported five different armies and doesn't force you to pick it up unless you need the stuff in it (assuming they every get the warscrolls updated on the website that is).
