Dude you're so upset about this that you're angry that they posted a self-deprecating joke in their new edition FAQ and people found it amusing. Maybe it's time to take a step back, just cool off for a few.

Thank you for your insight. I will take it to heart and pass your wise teachings to GW by giving them a fleeting desire to buy some 40k models instead of actual money.

What do you mean carrying water? GW has made more good decisions than bad recently, and so people are excited for the new edition of 40k. What do you want, everybody to be shouting about how it's the End Times all over again?

All arrows point to 30k staying as is, i.e. it's little weird fusion of 6th and 7th. Lines up with the internal line of making the mainline games scale in complexity from AoS->40k->30k.

It's staying as is temporarily, which probably either means a year or however long it takes them to put out Angelus.

From what I've read, fw has no interest in keeping alive 7th edition. It'll be 8th in six months.

I fully expect 30k to stay with 7th edition rules until the next round of red books. They have that system in place so they can easily update everything. Whether it'll be quick is another matter entirely.

The existing black books won't be touched, of course, but they're mainly for fluff and pretty pictures. The books going forward will be written with 8th in mind, but I just hope they've been caught in time to get Angelus under the right edition.

I'd like to make an open apology to the 40k thread for insisting for months that GW were releasing end times books that would be completely invalidated by a new edition. I'd also like to offer my sincereand unironic thanks for not making GBS threads on me too hard when I claimed that new marine 2.0 leak was completely real and not a conversion. I can't believe I've spent months shitposting and drawing parallels to the Fantasy end times where none clearly existed.

It's hard to admit being so wrong for so long.

They won't touch 30k just like they wouldn't possibly touch 40k or fantasy.

I did get back into 40k due to traitor legions. I liked how Emps Children and Night Lords worked. Good to know I'm a garbage idiot.

Please go back and quote all the people making GBS threads on posters saying "Maybe now isn't a great time to get in.."

Do the needful.

EDIT: They absolutely will ratfuck 30k too. The wording of the FAQ says that 30k uses 7th for now. 30k is not safe. There are no sacred cows. All is dust. Marine 2.0 was real.

Oh, no, they're going to get to 30k, but it's FW who'll be doing it and they... aren't quick. 7th is going to linger as a stopgap, nothing more.

Seeing the new guys painted, I'm pretty sure the rumor about them was wrong. Remember, the rumor was that they were some kind of new super marine, different from regular marines. But look at these dudes. They're painted just like regular marines, they have the same markings and everything. It would be really hard to tell them apart from old Space Marines on the table. I think they're just new Space Marine models, not a new army

Possible, but lets not move those goalposts. The leaked picture was declared an obvious conversion and not real at all. It was real.
