As nice as it would be, GW plan their releases far, far too early on for that to really make a difference. You only have to look at White Dwarf and how it accurately reports on new releases despite haven been written six months or so prior to see how meticulously and far ahead GW’s planning goes. Combine that with all the additional time before that spent coming up with and crafting the new releases, and for you to be in time to actually affect the present, you would probably have to send the emails at a point in which a Seraphon release wasn’t even necessary at all!
I've got enough of a backlog and am a slow enough painter that I think I'm okay with waiting for now. Its frustrating, and I was super hyped to hear something from the New Year's Open day.... But now, just kind of accepted I'll be playing with these models and rules for a good while longer. And that's fine. I do have a ravenous hope that we do finally get a Saurapod dino, something massive to dwarf even the Castellan Knight Titan, and the Stardrake..... *Drool*
They basically announced a 2nd new faction with the rumour engine (giant faction) so my hopes are down in the dirt. Getting used to seeing my lizards being shelved by now, the only 2 games i dared to play them over the past 6 months i got tabled in 2 turns by powerplayers. Gonna stick to khorne in the meantime.
Drukhari/harlequin and khorne daemons/world eater is more than enough for my 40k needs atm. I'll think about it though
over powered robotech wannabees, the Great Devourer will suck your juicy insides from the explosions you call "suits"
First you have to get there, and my rail rifle sure as hell isnt letting you get anywhere near me back on topic to seraphon; while it might take a while we can still kinda shamble on, @LizardWizard clearly is doing stuff right so we can’t be totally worthless
We're propped up on summoning and teleports. And we're barely outbof bottom tier last I checked. Not well represented in tournies either last I saw.
Difference being a BoC player can use a chaos god battletome and still play their models ie: tzeentch with tzaangor or khorne with the bullgor battalion
Worthless? No, we're worth something... to us. GW is just dragging along, looking at new Shinies as it takes us to the mechanic to get us fixed up...
I wouldn't have such a bleak outlook at the whole situation, granted I am not waiting as long as all of you but Seraphon are in the Warcry book and to me that is a strong indication that we are not vanishing into thin air. It can be that we arent being lifted to absolute godlike levels in regard to competative gaming but I think they at least fix us up so that were somewhat playable in the current version of AoS.
Really all we need is for our battleline to be slightly tougher, but I don’t know if they will even bother to do that. Mostly giving knights and warriors 4+ saves would be huge, but they might simply ignore us
we aren't worthless we can still steal wins but we are flagging and the longer GW takes the worse it will get. with the new tecles dump i think we are going to have to wait until spring
Our monsters just can’t take on other faction monsters head to head anymore. I want back the old days when we would charge our carnosaur a and Stegadons and people would be terrified. Nowadays they die before they get 2 attack
