Incredibly surprising that 30k is dying after a year of custode releases

Where's that one single piece deredeo bit they still haven't released for over a year?

It's like all the bads from GW jumped ship and ended up marooned at the FW studio.

I would also still appreciate some danger.



Wait is 30k actually dying because I finally ordered a rulebook? Did I do this?

Now someone make one for the entire range of Cataphractii shoulderpads they designed and then just decided not to release. :shepface:

No, but GW has done a poor job managing the studio after offloading all specialist games onto them

The studio has been split into strike teams working on specialist games. The few on HH are mostly new hires from GW and it shows

Valdor is needlessly busy as gently caress. He's got some kind of dragon trophy on one shoulder and some random-rear end wings shooting out of the other. I don't know if other angles are going to save that model.

At least they're finally getting their alternate spears. Maybe that's a sign FW has finally run out of steam on custodes. Hahahahahahahahaha, not happening. :shepicide:

I just bought some DA cataphractii shoulder pads off of Shapeways because, goddamnit, FW is never releasing them. :argh:

Wow, Valdor looks terrible.

We need to give Custodes a break though. After all, marines had 30 years of releases. FW is leveling the playing field.

Book 8 Malevolence confirmed to be White Scars and Blood Angels.

Book 9 retains the name Angelius and will focus on the Thamas Crusade and Dark Mechanicum.

Angelus pushed back to the next book. Dark Angels cut. :laffo:

I'm personally disappointed because I've been waiting for real rules for Dark Angels for a long while now. I kind of knew something like this would happen, but I genuinely hope that FW is able to get a book out this year and get 30k back on track. They already had a lot of work done for Blood Angels, they were showing stuff off last year, and White Scars are probably easier to handle than Dark Angels with all their wings and poo poo. Space Mongols are also pretty cool so I'm ok with it.

I always had a feeling Angelus was way too ambitious with BA, DA, NL, demons, and dark mechanicum. Even with Bligh at the helm. They did the right thing by scaling it back.

It's the "Xanthanite Abeyant" which conveys +1 wound, +1 attack, IWND, Move Through Cover, Very Bulky, Hardened Armour, and another Photon Thruster. Angry Mechboi Tomb Scorpion FTMFW!

I was talking more about the visual design. One of the guys here plays Dark Mech, I'm entirely too aware of how incredibly nasty Scoria is.
