Having a store group pay an exclusivity deal is good way to make sure they try to push your product. And those products are meant for capturing more casual TT customers who never go to their stores in the first place. Putting those in the usual stores isn't an objectif and if the usual customers really want it they can always find a way to get one (even though it can be expensive in a market without any of those exclusivity deals).

And there is that paper shortage thing.

I don't get why you'd spend $500 of toy soldiers, spend a dozen of hours assembling it, then feel satisfying to leave it as an unreadable grey goo on the table. (when it is not a problem of time to paint) If warhammer was really about the strategy game part it would be played with little wooden blocks with weapons written on it. If you feel like tt standard is gatekeeping, your 3 colors are going to ruin your models, I think you invested in the wrong hobby. I mean it with no intent to be dismissive, but the total war games is probably going to be a better way to spend your time while enjoying warhammer. Because the miniature game isn't that good it is worth to spend the money and time required even without painting to be played.

You can cut the 3 pages you want . Or Warhammer Vault looks like it has a 6 months delay with white dwarf.

Like I get the content is lacking and the interface is sort of mediocre. But to the point of being angry and calling for a boycott? It just looks a little silly and performative. You can just be "meh" about the service and move away.

Not in the UK and the rest of Europe. The pandemic might feel over to you, but finding paper and cardboard is still difficult for many industries.

oh no, not after I waited almost two years for the beastgrave grashraks despoilers band to have a separate release so I could do a conversion.

New generic Daemons to go with a new chaos prince, but the base is probably just going to be the DISCIPLES OF BE’LAKOR soup with Horror/Daemonette/Plaguebearer/Horror or to go as ally to your Std or BoC. A full minor faction of grey centrists daemons is maybe not what we should expect.

Knowing a guy who knows a guy and shares leaks he knows are true, I consider some very likely, including the squats. Obviously pinch of salt and Chinese whispers thing.

Chaos space marines got the Thousand Sons and Death Guard updates between Dark Vengeance and Shadowspear. Special flavors but still. But the weird thing for std is not why no new sculpt, but why new sculpt only for the start collecting ? There is new sculpts, you can buy them. They are not mixed on the sprues making impossible to sell them apart either. If the problem was to move the old stock,it should have done by now. So weird my best guess is they just like the old stuff. Anyway they also got a bunch of stuff thanks to Warcry.

at this point, no.

space marines are a simple concept, easy to paint and kitbashing is very easy so they make a great canvas.

Yeah, the wake the dead lieutenant had very similar pose and was sometime used to do this model. BT, but easy to convert, the only sculpted iconography is on the shoulder pads. Swap them and make it a lieutenant for any chapter.

I never liked the unit description page. In 8th they felt like a huge filler. Boring, redundant and vague bloat of text, didn't lose much to condensed them to one sentence with the data sheet and only keep them for characters and what to be define. Codex space marine is good because they actually do something with the room it gain, but many just reduce without doing anything instead.

They haven't even released the stormcast and kruleboyz bt. Don't distract the fans from the new releases with stuffs you are going to release in 6 months.
