And thus, the entire community breathed a steady sigh of relief. Ahhhh.

I had a pretty long response to this typed out, but going back and forth over what’s dismissive or disrespectful isn’t really productive, so I’ll just say this: WH+ as a concept is very much a disconcerting one as putting a lot of previously free stuff behind a paywall always is, as it leads people to (quite understandably) believe that other free stuff will come under it at a later point. We don’t know for sure, like you said, but it is likely. But whatever. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion on whether it’s good or gonna work well, but I’m definitely in the no camp. Not because I want GW to fail, mind you, but because I just don’t think paywalls like that are a good idea.

It hasn’t been officially said, but given that they seem to be putting the vast majority of other previously free things behind the WH+ paywall, it’s reasonable to assume that they’re gonna do the same for the free warscrolls. Plus there were no Warscrolls for any of the new units on Dominion or the other starter sets, which is indicative in my mind. That sounded very dismissive on your part, Sarouan. I try to be respectful and receptive to other people’s thoughts on this topic and it’d be nice for the sentiment to be reciprocated. As I said above, whilst there’s no official announcement (it’d be PR suicide to actively go “hey, we’re getting rid of this free content we’ve provided for the entire games lifespan”), it does look likely.

This was clearly a big investment for em. If it sunk or flopped it’d be disastrous, so ofc they’re gonna shill it and all it’s bells and whistles as hard as they can

Yeah what angers me is the axing of any and all pdfs and free warscrolls. It’s just unnecessary. Wax poetic all you like about how “oh they’re a company and their goal is to make money”, it’s still a stupid and frustrating thing for them to do.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/08/22/sunday-preview-warhammer-launches-alongside-gladiatorial-gameplay-and-fantastic-fiction/ Ok so here’s the actual article. This time they directly mentioned “greenskin goodness” so it looks like we’ll be seeing Warclans terrain and endless spells. Then, it’s a definitely gonna be a pre order for next week, and not a moment too soon. Sometimes you really gotta wonder whatever they were thinking in leaving a literal 3 month gap.

I think GW are vastly overestimating how much people are interested in Warhammer+ tbh

I do wonder who types up the little “what could this possibly be? find out soon” blurb at the bottom of every rumour engine. Do they just have a list of pre-written ones that an intern has to add to the bottom, or does someone think of a new one every week?

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/08/16/new-black-templars-codex-cover-art-will-get-you-in-the-mood-to-crusade/ Good news everyone! The 40k article for today seems to be for the… codex… cover. Jeez, they’re really just throwing anything out and making an article for it, aren’t they? But either way, it means that the new model for today is probably gonna be AoS! Hype!

If the “new model reveals” is just more Black Templars stuff, then I am going to throw myself into the Shyish Nadir. No offence to BT fans btw, it’s just reeeeeeeeeally frustrating to see a release I was once excited for yet again getting dragged out for what seems like aeons.

Maybe the red subfaction would have the theoretical cavalry unit as Battleline Look, until it’s confirmed that it’s not happening I have hope

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/08/10/magic-and-mayhem-the-dragon-princes-rules-make-them-a-ruinous-tag-team-in-battle/ Hahaha cool, another run of the mill rules preview. I’m sure glad we know there’s no more new models, otherwise we’d go into a frenzy thanks to all the directionless hype. Anyway- wait? What was that? … AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

THERE’S STILL TIME GUYS I SWEAR IT ISN’T OVER

I mean tbf it was less failing to manage expectations and more “this thing was implied and never expanded on”. In this case it was the Killaboss on Great Gnashtoof - a big, cavalry hero existing. This implies that there’d be Lesser Gnashtoofs (or just Gnashtoofs) and other cavalry units for the Killaboss to go with. That, and you’d expect them to have more than three or so non-monster or hero units, hahahaha

It was another Space Marine.

GNASHTOOF CAVALRY IS COMING WE WERE RIGHT GANG

On a different topic, in the recent Thousand Sons codex there was a page of fluff for a named character for each subfaction, which I think is really neat. Hope they start doing them for the new Battletomes.

For the love of Sigmar can we please drop the “which army should get updated when” stuff, it’s been done to death. On the topic of rumours, I’ve decided that I’m 100% sure that there’s gonna be Gnashtoof cavalry. Whilst it would be a good thing to hold over everyone’s heads for a while to build hype (a very GW-y thing to do), it would make sense for them to have a cavalry unit to contrast against the new Draconith If they AREN’T a thing, then I’ll be retiring to the Great Oubliette, wherein I shall reflect on how horifically wrong I was. Until the Nighthaunt BT comes, that is.

This is honestly so infuriating. The fact that GW is so full on “Gah, my precious! Nobody else can haves it! No one!” with their IP like some big corporate Gollum is an insult to creators like Alfabusa that put their heart and soul into things like TTS. And for what? So they can force people to pay £5 a month for the same stuff - but arguably with less passion - on WH+? First the incessant hyping ALL the time, then the lack of communication, then the ceasing of digital books, then the pay leaks, and now this! I’m genuinely tempted to just full on stop buying GW stuff for a while - I’ve got a sizeable backlog anyway so it’s not like I’ll be short of hobby stuff. Anywho. Signed. Let’s hope the community doesn’t forget about this when they inevitably push the emergency hype switch and show off the Primaris Black Templars or something.

Ok guys I’m gonna do a rumour Are you all ready I heard a rumour that Games Workshop are going to release some more Age of Sigmar miniatures soon And they’re gonna be plastic Thank you for listening

Probably in a manner similar to the way we react when we see a chimpanzee or a baboon honestly.

Jesus H., that’s appalling. I knew that Geedubs were really stingy in terms of Ip and profits, but I didn’t think they’d be lacking this much in the wages of their own damn employees.

This is kinda true; as of now Ironjawz have 10 unique warscrolls, as do Bonesplitterz (including underworlds warbands). Kruleboyz have 14, with the potential for a few more (Gnashtoof cavalry, Hobgrot hero, etc). Will be interesting to see if or how they balance it out.
