I thought marmite was Australian.....so yeah clearly that reference passed me by also haha.

It is interesting that GW didn't release a Cities of Sigmar/Dawnbringer Crusade split with new models in this box. They could have kept the same lore, and even had one five person unit of Stormcast.

I did not even think about that. Can you imagine the hype if they had put new Skaven in the box?

The box set looks really good to me in terms of quality, but I did not order it for a couple reasons. 1) - and most importantly- I am REALLY tired of the fear of missing out games GW seems to be pushing lately. As soon as they tell me I have to order quickly, I am just not going to do it. 2) I want to wait for multi-part models, I just prefer them. 3) Even though I think the models are great for the new Orcs, I am not going to play them or add them to my Lumineth (obviously). Whereas I can use the Stormcast for my Settler's Gain project. I do want to say most of my reason for not getting it is the frustration I have generally with GW at the moment. Their quality is at an all time high for sure, but the FOMO games and (as I have said elsewhere) the incredibly customer unfriendly death of digital codexes and battletomes have made me reconsider the level of support I give them. edit I just don't know enough, and haven't been around an LGS, to have an opinion on the general reasons why it didn't sell well (if true). So these are just my personal reasons that may be the same as others.

Why do you have to be consistently toxic.

Let me ask a genuine question. You believe the app as it stands now is worth money? Such that you are excited for the transition from Azyr to an AoS version? I am actually wondering why if so. I mean 5/5 to GW for showing me I don’t need to use my entire iPad screen. But for most companies I would say it’s embarrassing?

Oh man I forgot the best thing about the current 40k app- it is one of those amateur apps that the iPad version doesn’t even fit the screen. Can’t wait for that for AoS. Actually maybe I’m more amused that someone convinced GW to pay them to ‘work’ on an app that already existed and more than likely make it worse. It would be more funny if it didn’t negatively impact my enjoyment of the hobby but it’s still funny in an ironic way.

Very bad news I think for anyone who likes the current app. The 40k one is not good, and has been out for a while. Who is telling them that moving AWAY from digital battletomes is a good idea?

That is for sure a possible sign its not true. I just don't think we can dismiss the rumors entirely yet. Soon maybe. -edit for news Also, Valrak just posted a new GK action figure. The other action figures from 40k have been races that got new sculpts (Necrons, SoB, Primaris). So more evidence for the AoS parts of the rumor to have a chance. Just a chance! I know it is a bit off-topic but it is directly related to the rumors so mods be kind plz!

See this is where I think people are wrong. I don't read that rumor to say GK is getting new TYPES of models, but that they are getting new SCULPTS of models. He/she who wrote the rumor made it clear they were talking about how one half of the battleboxes would get new sculpts and one would get one new thing. The GK rumor was the same as the BoC rumor in the same spot. New sculpts, not new types.

I put it up a few pages back. I agree with this. Although, knowing a story direction a couple years out seems possible but that would be a huge leak. Its more that I WANT those rumors to be true, and they haven't been dispelled yet. Like I said, if GK v 1K comes out and its not what they say....then we can put it to bed. Or the batteltomes they say are coming. It is a very specific rumor and easy to toss if it doesn't hold up seems like. Until then I want to believe in new BoC and the Empire human refresh so badly.

I don't think it has been. We will know when the GK and 1k sons come out.

As much as I want to believe that Whitefang meant Idoneth were coming....that 4chan leak did say Maggotkin were some of the first to get new battletomes.

I don't even know what is happening right now. @Whitefang you are a cruel (krule?) rumor overlord, but I just can't quit you.

Based on the reaction my poor Idoneth will continue to sit.

I mean you could be happy about one and not the other? I got my rulebook- very glad I was able to do that. The new book looks amazing. But, I am worried about the lack of digital option. I have seen many people ask about it on various platforms and they've been ignored by GW. As others have said, the 40k app is poor compared to AoS. I very much enjoy the format and full digital books. So, what is on my mind right now is concern about an upcoming preview by GW, which seems appropriate for the rumor thread. And can I just offer that people being happy they were able to give GW money for a new product is sort of a sad state of affairs in general? When did it become praiseworthy for a company to provide product when they say they will provide product?

Hmm. I think we are still in the 'wait and see' stage. If the Grey Knights thing comes true....exciting stuff for AoS on the horizon.

What?? The Grey Knights part was proven wrong? Link plz.

The real question is what will happen to the 25 digital battletomes/campaign books I have on their current app.....

I did not realize that was coming....man I hope they just leave Azyr and the AoS app alone. Love the digital products, and the app is quite good (most of the time). Far superior to the 40k one.

Can’t be pictures. Unless we all missed it. The stories are pretty good though!

Did we ever sort out whether the digital editions of AoS would survive into this new edition?

I really liked that you tried out that list in a tournament. Let me ask you this- how much utility did you get out of the 3 inch additional shots from the Roos? As in, how often did you you get to use it and how many at a time?

That release schedule would be very sad for a number of reasons. Seraphon and Skaven need a ton of new models. On the other hand I am excited for new semi normal humans and perhaps a few redone kits for BoC.

I couldn't disagree more. In a time when every other company gives away rules for free- the lore/art is what makes the books worth it.
