Oh it's not out yet mate I'm just speculating what today's could be.
Ah! Draxed that one. I’m really hoping we get to see the Vanquishers, which I think is a new battleline unit I saw on the Pitched Battle Profiles list for SCE in the GHB2021

It gets harder not draw comparisons with Hobbit Concept art, not that I’m complaining.
Wow! Is there a collection of concept art from the films somewhere?

Hi arkanauts, do any of you know if we can all use the new Guild Triumphs now? I'm happy to buy the books neccessary to do so, I just wanted to be sure.
I haven't played KO for a long, long time, but I can't wait to play them in the new edition!

About as likely as a surprise Chaos Dwarf army appearing for preorder with a new tome, as well as a second print of Cursed City boxes going out at half price
they did it for 2.0, though?

What if they are mass updating Warscrolls, or something?
I dont believe that for a second, but it would be cool.
oh right! I'm such an idiot. I bet that's what they're doing.

GW Webstore is down for maintenance. Maybe getting ready for this weekend?
Do you expect the webstore to be overloaded by people preordering Blood Bowl pitches? It's not really a big preorder weekend

In my opinion faq won't help much. Almost everything is clear in the new rules. Only few armies really need explanation like Ossiarch Bonereapers. What is needed is errata to fix few problems that new edition creates. Unless you are talking about both errata and faq
yeah that's what I meant, but it's good that you correct it. It's definitely the errata I'm looking forward to.

Hmm - there is no FAQ's on Warhammer website.
oh man if the FAQs drop today I will be so happy. It's the first day of my summer holiday.

The game has really exploded in all the LFGS' around me so it doesn't come as a complete surprise.
I think it's a quadruple-whammy of the ruleset being very well-written (Atomic Mass Games is largely the WarmaHordes MK2 guys writing a Beer & Prezels game), extremely accessible (most games only use 5-models and you get double that in the starter set), the Marvel IP being the biggest multi-media brand of the modern day and people buying it who don't necessarily want to play, just collect the miniatures because... they're Marvel miniatures.
I wouldn't be surprised if AoS clawed back the No. 4 spot this quarter with the new edition though.
I love the game, but I don't really understand why it isn't made with pre-painted miniatures. Those minis are ridiculously detailed and modeled in such a way that you really need to do sub-assemblies to even put paint on everything (looking at you, Mr. Sinister), and there's a certain way you're expected to paint them... I just don't see a lot of joy in painting them for anyone but semi-pro instagram painter heroes.

DND minis make complete sense, I am flabbergasted Marvel minis are that high though wow
Thing is: Marvel Crisis Protocol is a really good game. I had low expectations before trying it, but I've played it twice now and I love it. It's just too expensive to collect for me, sadly, and painting something that everyone wants to be in one specific color scheme is just no fun.

Anyone download the rules yet and see anything stand out? I’m printing mine out now (hate reading rules off a screen)
I think they're pretty great! "Miscast" is new, right?

One slight glimmer of hope is that the second edition announcement made no mention of digital either. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/06/16/pre-order-the-new-edition-today/
Ah, evidence! Wonderful. I'm not that worried anymore, then.

Maybe it's tied to the upcoming Warhammer+ ? Yeah, obviously you can have digital battletome. In fact you can have ALL battletomes and animations. For a price of course... [insert just-as-planned meme here] 😉
well, that's what I would do if I was them in this age of subscription.

Whether they take away Physical or Digital, taking away options in general is never a good thing especially when it alienates the fanbase disconnecting them. I'd be similarly annoyed if they removed physical books entirely as I struggle to read books on a screen.
Exactly - removing options like this seems to indicate that someone somewhere in the GW decision making process (on the board or something) has a really archaic view on how to combat piracy. I think that's the only reason they're doing this, as there doesn't seem to be another good argument for suddenly removing a digital option in 2021.

Ok so my main takeaway from that Dominion preorder article is that it seems they're moving to physical-only formats for books? They are very detailed about the different versions of the core book you can get and they don't mention a digital one. They do mention a digital version of the tie-in novel, which just makes it worse.
(for those who are not following the space game, 40k moved to physical-only for rulebooks with 9th edition, and you can imagine how much of a mess that is with the current logistics situation)

How dare you sir, are you saying she only looks like a £50 model?
Best place for them... don't want them in the hands of dirty elveses.
You've got me all nervous now.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to remember these.
The alternative head for that archer is a dead ringer for russell crowe.
However... finally, a destruction faction I can get behind. Rivets and pointy teeth... I'm in.
The hobgrots aren't really doing it for me but the rest.. yea.
The misspelt anihalators are rocking. I'm loving the sigmar terminator armour.
Where did you see the Russel Crowe head?

So far all the “stuff” that the boglins may have traded for with “chaos dwarves” hasn’t shown that these dwarves are the forge masters they once were lol. Everything we’ve seen is ramshackle garbage
now that's something I could get behind! The Chaos duardin are back, they're mean, and... they're no good in a forge, but really great at selling junk to less cunning factions. The Hashut used-car-salesman-lords

It dosent need to be Star Wars level. Star Wars is a bit like the Beatles in that the precise circumstances that allowed for a moment in which a single thing could come into being and dominate popular culture on a near global scale- I'm not sure that can ever happen again.
But you can be not Star Wars and still make money hand over a fist at a level which dwarfs GW's current revenue.
Thing is though, re the Sattire thing- I think this is likely to be the biggest issue. A license without clear goodies and baddies is unlikely to appeal on the aforementioned scale. A media empire based around fictions in which *all* protagonists are at best pretty much irredeemable and at worst existentially appaling and awful is not just going to be challenging, its likely to come across as boring.
The closest analogue to something like that which has succeeded is Game of Thrones. But while it was excessivley and expertly morally grey, the reality of life in Westeros would be a positive Nirvana for the subjects of the Imperium.
good points! And yes, Game of Thrones is the best comparison, but the culture has even moved on since then. I don't think anyone would greenlight Game of Thrones in the form we saw it today. And to some extent, I think that's okay (but that's beside the point here).

Starship Troopers the movie already had people agreeing with the fascism in it, and its satire is miles thicker than current era Black Library writing. If there even is satire left in that.
you don't think there is satire left in it? (sorry mods, this is just interesting!) I don't read a lot of BL stuff and sometimes I worry.

They already did! Starship Troopers e.g. - before the people that identify as aliens (there are already some) become a critical mass, "PURGE THE XENOS!" should be acceptable (at least in the context of fantasy). 😂
but that film was way more satirical than GW will ever manage to be (and very directly left-wing political as well)

The Rumour Thread
in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Posted · Edited by Dawnmane
typo
that's a somewhat false premise. Those people would be people who bought all of cursed city, not to play the game but to use the enemies part of the game for an army whose battletome wasn't out yet, and who probably also knew about this rule because it was revealed pretty early after release. Also, that logic would, to some extent, apply to anyone who ever purchased models/an army based on the rules at the time of purchase = that logic would mean that changing the rules was always unfair.
