Is this the end of 30k as an official thing? Presumably y'all can carry on indefinitely with recast stuff, but it's a shame for a ton of time to have been invested in this only for them to pull out of it near the end (and with like 4 legions left untouched never mind all the roster gaps).

Its a loving terrible state of affairs and its exactly what I expect from this hack company.

Lmao no I’m out forever if Heresy dies, I might try shadespire or necromunda but otherwise nothing about the current 40k setting makes me want to build or paint a 40k army anymore.

Well, at least there are all those books that I'll be able to read long past the point where 30K is entirely dead. In 6 months, the only thing on sale is going to be the Leviathan, because rear end in a top hat 40k players want those mortal wounds.

I love this well planned genius business - that made Titatinicus, a giant robit game, 8mm not because they want to gently caress over Epic miniature havers, but because they're so forward planning enough to plan for infantry down the line - discontinues legion upgrade kits five months after releasing a new rulebook and LCtOs a bunch of Solar Auxilia stuff on the day it launches a new SA transport.

Welp.

This is not correct. As best I can tell, they’re discontinuing all mkii shoulder pad sets, all torsos, and certain duplicative upgrade options (the second set of SoH mkiv pads, the second set of ultramarine heads, etc). Still really obnoxious, but for now every legion is keeping helmets, mkiii pads, and mkiv pads.

I always thought that no matter how terrible the actual game was at least it'd be new miniatures to play Epic with.

Basically everyone buys mk iii and mk iv pads because those are the plastic sets. So mk ii pads are getting squatted.

The cataphractii pads I am disappointed are getting squatted.

Also,

Please discontinue my dumb sword legion before they're even actually released, FW.



The ONLY solid information I've been able to gather is that FW wasn't allowed/able to expand their warehouse space so they're reducing their range to allow for new releases. I think I heard it on the Imperial Truth? Not 100% on that.

You can still get SA. They got a new transport a few weeks ago.

Do you guys actually think HH is done, or are they just cleaning storage/mold space of super specialized sprues that (I assume) probably don’t sell worth a drat compared to other products.
