GW News: BIG N' SMALL WAAAGH! COMIN'

I also prefer the old lore where the Necrons were the unliving machine servants/slaves of the remaining Star Gods. If the C'tan had to go to sleep because all live was drained from the galaxy, why did the Necrons have to hibernate too?


I always imagined the Void Dragon more as a "green-eyes-white-dragon" metallic creatures versus a "digitized-fallen-angel" metallic creature. BUT that model looks really cool.

 

News from GW about the inadequate amount of Indomitus box set. In short, scalpers need to make some new retirement plans.

What’s in an Indomitus box?

#notpayingattentionatall

Is it the one with 3 bikes, not quite 20 foot-marines and a heap of Necron-things?

if there was a better inventory up thread please link.

 

a possible 120 day delivery time, that's rather long.

At least it's a good way to deal with scalpers.

I think it's exactly 20 marines on foot, but yes that's the box

 

New Monolith model!



A great rework of the original, with additional weapon options and the nice vignette of a Canoptek Wraith adjusting its parameters at the back.

Also new Codices (the artwork for the Necron one teased by @Captaniser was correct, and the Space Marines needlessly get yet another one), and other new releases planned for Sisters of Battle (again ), Dark Eldar, Admech, Chaos Marines (I think) and Orks at the very least. Couldn’t see any Tyranids there

 

GW gotta make some more of that sweet Space Marine money

 

With the way their 40k app seems to work it seems like they also want a part of that Sweet recurring revenue stream that is "<some bullshit> as a service" alongside all those Sweet little hooks it given to vendorlock customers..

 

Dang that thing looks like a great update!

I am not collecting Space Marines anymore... so I will be looking forward to more orks!

 

Same. For the greater WAAAAAAGH!!!

 

I don’t get the obsession with space marines, they are so boring.

 

Clean slate to work off of, I guess? Given their meta role as "my first Warhammer army" from a hobbyist perspective, they don't require a lot of work or models to build and paint a decent army for tabletop use.

That is, unless you play Horus Heresy, but that's a whole other game to worry about.

 

My thoughts exactly. Their over representation was one of the key factors finally driving me away from 40k. I wouldn't be opposed to them if they were limited to a fair share of the releases.

Then again, I can't blame GW, they only release them because people keep buying them.

 

Nope. Chaos Marines for me. ... wait, those are technically space marines... um... I reject your reality and substitute my own!

 

Great to see three Tyranid players there, despite Cruddace’s best attempts to nerf us we still have devoted followers!

 

They should have got the message the first time round when he nerfed existing Tyranid units and buffed Guard in 5th, but no, they get him to write another one. At least with Tomb Kings he didn’t completely nerf them - in early 8th I hear they weren’t too bad and it was only that they were powercreeped when later books came out.

I’m actually one of the people who complains less about the 6th Edition Tyranid Codex than most, because it gave us the first piece of lore where we actually win (Shadowbrink) rather than being pipped at the post (Macragge) or being beaten at our own game by a race whose troops suck in any form of melee (Hive Fleet Gorgon campaign), and it gave us some units that helped us beat some of the real problems we’ve had in the past (Exocrine was a good thing to bring against Terminators and Hive Crone is good against Dark Eldar), but it certainly wasn’t buffs all round like Phil Kelly’s damned 6th Edition Craftworld Eldar Codex (f*cking Wraithknight, worst thing to ever happen to 40K). Why couldn’t we have had Kelly instead like with our 4th Edition Codex given he was a Tyranid fan?
