Some days this thread is terrible. Today is not one of those days. I just counted up all my IG/AM stuff. I have about 4500 points painted up, with a total of 6550 planned. I have a problem.

Ok, so there's a lot to like here. The fact that you nailed my penchant for eating skulls is  ; however, I don't see any way for anyone to end up with the name Bloodstorm the Stormcaster. Given the current state of affairs, I see this as a really egregious omission. Or Stormblood the Bloodstormer. Of course, inclusion of those also opens the door to Stormstorm the Stormstormer, which really is the point of this whole exercise, no?

Nevermind, no one is surprised or should care about how batshit insane GW pricing is. Carl, thanks for shutting down the IC podcast. Without your infectious enthusiasm, I've completely stopped caring about 40k and have stopped giving GW money. drgnvale fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Oct 21, 2015 |

Is there anything there we don't know? Tau Commander at $50 is the same as Farsight and 3 Crisis suits for $75 is the same price they cost now. I mean yeah, compared to something like Killa Kans which are the same sizeish and cost half the price it really sucks, but it's nothing new.

According to white dwarf, The damocles book will contain all the updated rules that the tau book contains.

Best part is that the new codex is really the old units/rules + new plastic kits + new formations + new Hunter decurion-thingy. Like the Campaign book description even says to refer to the old codex.

The campaign book says that it contains the new and updated rules. Which could mean that some units are getting a tweak, or that its a C/P job.

It seems that new plastic kit = new or tweaked rules. E.g. Fire Warriors can take the fancy new cutiepie kawaii turret and minimum size is 5. Commander can get the Coldstar upgrade, but otherwise is the same. One picture showed a Crisis with two airbursting fragwhatever, so that one might not be one-per army anymore. I guess it's pretty much how it went with Tyranids and the Leviathan campaign? Here's some new models, and a bunch of formations, new warlord table, etc. and everything else is unchanged.

I think it's interesting that it's straight up just a moderate update and not a wholly new book, and they're selling it as such. Hell, that's even the old cover art. I think referring to it as a "godsend" is a laugh though.

I think referring to it as a "godsend" is a laugh though. It's setting a worrying precedent that future codexes will have even less change in them from now on. Does that mean the next Tyranid book will be a compilation of existing units and formation dataslates with a couple of new models tacked on? On the upside, it removes the need to buy a new codex every X months as the additional rules will be available cheaply and/or free. However it also means that longstanding issues with certain armies/units may end up existing for years without hope of seeing any improvement.

Yeah, it's nice that I don't have to replace my barely-used Tau Codex but some of the units really needed to be tweaked/buffed a bit.

There just isn't any interest in Sisters of Battle. Good rules and plastic models surely would do nothing to spur on their sales. No, I'm sure the lack of sales is just because people don't like them.

SRM posted:I think the opposite - I think it means we'll basically be seeing codices getting "patched" and when you can get the new rules for free in the box of models or in some kind of add-on book, that's a good thing. It might make it harder to organize your army list, but that's what the rereleased codices are for. That also means if you really want that hardback book with everything in it, you can still get it. I hope they actually stick with this for a while; I still haven't bought the 7th ed Space Marines codex even though they're my main army, just because I was kinda burned by only having it for such a short time. The problem here is that it'll invalidate old units even more than the current system. If codexes shake an army up, lovely units, for example hormagaunts might get boosted to being useful again, which is good if you've already got a bunch of them. Under this new system, hormagaunts stay the same and useless, but guess what! You can buy all new gauntmahors that are good, only £20 for 5!

Meanwhile, to put salt in the wounds, the GW apparel store sells Sisters of Battle shirts. http://shop.spreadshirt.com/40KUS/ Also that site is really really weirdly hidden in the licensed product page and not accessible at all on the front page.

Holy poo poo. For years I thought it was insanely stupid that GW doesn't sell t-shirts on their site or something, and then it turns out they do but they bury the link on their site. Are they afraid that T-shirts are gonna cannibalize miniature sales or something?

The Spreadshirt shirts look okay, but the ones they sell at Forgeworld opens and Warhammer World are way cooler.

Are they afraid that T-shirts are gonna cannibalize miniature sales or something? They've definitely made shirts over the years. I have one from each Games Day I went to and the nerd store when I was in college 12-13 years ago had one with the Imperial Aquila/Skull combo and the phrase "Non Omnis Moriar." I've never been able to find it online since though. So is there not going to be a two player tau/raven guard box for the campaign? I hoping there would be since I play Ravens and use some tau conversions for The Ork specialist units. Macdeo Lurjtux fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Oct 21, 2015 |

They have always produced really good shirts for the staff, periodically over the years they've also realised they could make money selling them. But GW being GW they don't know how to business, so they always end up shutting down (Warp Artefacts) or hiding them. That said, the shirts on that page are dreadfully uninspired.
