    For some reason those non-mask/faceplate helmets seem wrong on those Stormcast.

    Personally I think it's something they needed. When Stormcast first appeared and they were hidden behind faceplates, I thought they would be disfigured monsters but they weren't. :( 

     

    Really like these. But we have a BUT.....

    I think the Javelins should be painted in a glowing aether effect! :D

    4chan leaks jokes are always funny, but I had forgotten about the BFG rumours and I got all giddy again thinking about a reworked BFG. If I can't have decent GW ship battles, I'm fine with having decent GW spaceship battles! 🤩

    I'd love to see Battlefleet again and really surprised why GW don't do a print to order with it (and other games) from time to time.

    Firstly thanks for getting back to rumours folks but I do have to address a couple of points based on recent posts.

    1) Tactics belong in other topics not the rumour thread

    2) @The_Tallest_Ork we treat everybody with respect here and not sneering at people about tactics. If this is something you are going to struggle with, this isn’t the forum for you. 
     

    Back to rumours about made up things like rat men. No such thing 😉

    Spearhead boxes will probably rewrite the wizard spell into a buff, maybe on a single die roll, with no unbinds or miscasts/etc.

    I think 100% this is what will happen. It will either be an additional ability mentioned in the rules for the Spearhead or as something that appears on their warscroll. They've done similar things with Combat Patrol for 40K where they have simplified abilities or changed things.

    What will we see over the next three weeks?

    Next week could a Stormcast character. What about Skaven the week after? And what about Monday the 13.? No reveal, perhaps?

    Not sure this will impact things much but Monday 6th is a Bank Holiday in the UK, so the reveal may be for something else that's not a big release?

    I get the feeling it has probably been a bit of a failure on GW's side, and now they have their agreement with Amazon they'll likely slowly wind it down.

    I don't think it was a failure as I think it made a lot of money. But I think you are right about it winding down due to Amazon agreement. 

    Personally, I've never used Warhammer+ but that's mainly because of how difficult it was to stream it to a 8 year old TV. I don't want to watch stuff on a laptop screen when I have a TV. :D

    GW is just bad add estimating demand for their products. I.e with Kill Team, always sold out way to quickly.

    I think there is an element of that but I suspect they like to operate on a FOMO model as it means that they mostly sell out of most stuff and don't have any stock sitting around on shelves or in warehouses. The issue is that they aren't super agile to respond to demand in some cases but I think this is a capacity issue and they can't change what they are making on the production schedule easily.

    Can someone please say I've misunderstood the Guarded Hero rule.
    As I understand it:

    Yes that's how it seems to work. Don't think of it like they are static but ducking around the terrain and jumping out and yelling "shoot me" before jumping back :D

    It'll probably be FAQed though!

    How can you already see the page? I only get:

     

    Error 404 – All Records Expunged from Library

    It's because there is no such thing as giant rat men. No idea why everybody is getting excited...... ;)

    My problem is actually that my hobby time is very limited. Mental challanges and busy family life makes it hard to find any time at all. This also means building an army takes a very long time. Is that GWs problem? I guess not, but it is something that can be expected as many if us arent living the student life. I have been busy gathering orruks for a Big Waaagg army and i already know it will be invalidated by the time ill finish building and painting it all. I will finish it because i already spend precious money and time on it, but it does really dampen my motivation.

    I think fit in your hobby time when you can but I'd personally have a break for a while. Sounds like you are demotivated due to the upcoming changes and painting things because you have them. If you are fed up with Orruks, sell them or put them into storage ;) 

  11. Just echo @Chikout but I do want to add that it's a hobby not a job/task.

    I struggle with motivation but a large part of that is a combination of work and family life, which has been very hectic for me at the moment.

    Want examples?

    We've recently had a dog and busy toilet training it at the moment which is a nightmare. It had never been outside and the person we had it from just let it do it's business on the floor (basically it was a 'accident' to their Crufts winning dog and they were doing the bear minimum). And of course we got the stubborn gobby one!

    Second example is my wife washed the wireless thermostat for the boiler in the washing machine (don't ask how). So that was a fun couple of hours trying to calm my wife down, hope the thermostat dried out enough to work and then getting the thing to connect correctly. It works at moment....

     

    So don't get stressed about getting stuff done. Do it when you want to and enjoy it ;)

    I've never quite seen why people put those Diaz sculpts on such a pedestal. They were so tiny and delicate, I found them impossible to paint. And their poses were... odd. All on one leg. But that's just my opinion - I know hordes of people love them! 

    I think it's because it was a big change from the 90s Crab Claw Daemonettes. The current plastics are okay but I think they do look dated although the aesthetic is about right in my opinion.

    I'm pretty confident that there will be a mini to accompany White Dwarf 500. Whether it will come with the magazine is another question. 

    Agreed. I doubt they will ship a model with the magazine now probably due shelf space and shipping. 

    Back to rumours....

    Not expecting an article today for new AOS. I'm thinking now it's just going to be Monday's and Thursday's with a sprinkling of more articles closer to May when they let people play the game at the demo shows.

    Very excited for the Darkoath box! A printed version of the Supplement is a bit silly but it'll work out cheaper to buy this than separately later down the line 😁

    I think it's silly as well but again makes you wonder about the production issues GW have been having!

    Also very interesting about Night Goblin release. Very surprised about that!

    I never realised that any rules in AoS where tied to what colour you painted your models.

    It's not. It's more of a 40K think and I think this statement is for those players ;)

    I'm very curious how this will look for the other factions, maybe some units shuffling around their keywords too.

    That's what I'm expecting which ties into the work they have done reviewing all the warscrolls.

    Is there more than one author?

    I imagine the Warhammer Community Team have a couple of people writing articles and probably a team lead who does the editing. Makes you wonder how far in advance the articles are written and in what order they are written. I imagine the bulk of the "This is how X works or has changed" were pre-written and the article of which models are being removed was a recent thing.

    Since priests and prayers are sticking around, it'd be nice to see a few more factions get their iterations of them. I feel like they're fairly thin on the ground at the moment, I barely see any in play. 

    I've already for a few models that'd make great Slaaneshi priests... 

    I'm kind of hoping we will also see a unit of priests (or the champion is) as it would create a bit of variety. Just keep it simple like they buff themselves.
