At half an inch coherency, we may as well just throw everything on squares and become ‘Warhammer The New World’ or something bc that’s WILD

I do wonder if the Hell Crown teases will be an ‘Battle for Oghram’ style launch box campaign - ‘Does Hell Crown fall or is it saved?’. Engagement numbers on Leviathan seem to show it was a good PR move at least

Got a sneaky feeling that Custodes are stuck in the middle of the ‘divorced parents custody battle’ that is Main Studio and Specialist Games as the big ‘who gets it?’ between 40K and Heresy. They definitely won’t get beastmen’d but wouldn’t suprise me to see ‘Heresy in Plastic’ result in the old FW offerings disappear soon after any plastic kits come into practice, even if it’s as iconic as the Telemon ala Leviathan Dreads or anything Solar Auxilia that had IG rules

I personally just consider that Stormcast are soon their teenage years and so have decided to become goths. Clearly the flaw in reforging is someone eventually shares their vinyl of Disintegration by the Cure and now everyone rides crows. It’s going to be tricky though - How to paint eyeliner at 28mm scale?

I don’t see a reason why GW doesn’t split Orruks into two factions to give Destruction another faction given how lacking they currently are

I AM NAGASH, SUPREME LORD OF THE DEAD! PICK A CARD ANY CARD!

Is the Cursed City sprue not going now because you can easily get a copy of the game with that exact sprue in? edit : doesn’t the cogfort also mean that Steam Tanks will finally go out to the square prairie too to play with the goats?

Wow can’t believe the launch box contents leaked so early

The Squatting Flowchart : Is your model one that existed during WFB and currently is being used for Old World? If Y, be concerned (unless you are Night Goblins bc I don’t see an updated Stabbas kit as much as a rerelease of Skull Pass tbh) Is your model one that has just been updated by a model that is the exact same? If Y, be concerned GW’s internal issues surrounding production will mean that cuts need to be made. Beasts have been saved the chop completely by TOW. Undoubtably though, we will see cuts rolled out across all of the games to make way for new stuff - today’s announcement seemed to also be confirmation that Underworlds may not be long for this world too This thread has seemed to turn into the doomsayers anonymous though - everyone immediately terrified GW will squat every model that exists.

I WAS THERE - THE GREAT RESIN PURGE OF 2024

Genuinely believe they should have cut Celestant and Star Drake - give the Prime a new model and the Drakecast has already been directly replaced by Dragoncast at this point. Honestly though : we can discuss Beasts being canned for Old World or Bonesplitterz, but given that these models are at most less than a decade old, this is a brutal cull Space Marines beware I guess

If you have a BoC force, at least sleep knowing SDS will give you something more than Main Studio have the last 10 years. Someone might finally do the wild thing and just update a Minotaur without giving it to a random other army or game and calling it an ‘Ogroid’

GW just nuked BoC, Beastsplitterz, 70% of the SCE range and pretty much any model intended for TOW in one fell swoop? Prayers for the goats in the chaf

Stormcast will likely get an alternative, like with Space Marines, from the starter set. I imagine Yndrasta is much like the Inceptors for SMs - it makes sense to keep them around as a bundle rather than invest in splitting the sprue into multi-parts. Cities though - agreed, it definitely is the spanner in the theory

Just throwing back to the talk about Battleforce boxes and Regiments : GW’s ‘modular’ rules sales pitch for AOS 4th and the new Spearhead boxes push me towards the idea that GW is trying to put its ‘discount boxes’ as a central building component towards a list. Using a launch Battleforce/Box as a playable ‘~1000pt core regiment’ for your general, with the idea that a player could buy two ~500pt ‘Spearheads’ to build up two additional regiments really helps an onboarding into the ‘true-scale’ 2000pts whilst also making it easier for a newer player (‘buy these three boxes for an instant army!’). I’d place a good bet on a sales pitch for the new starters mirroring 40k’s ‘Combat Patrol in a Box!’ - just relies if the launch box pushes a ‘1000pts in a box with terrain!’ line as expected. I’d imagine it’s more certain if the new Spearheads, like the ones we have seen, are more cohesive in their themes e.g GSG no longer has squigs, troggs and gobbos but is more ‘here is a Squig hero with Squigs galore!’
