GW News: LAS VEGAS OPEN 2025

GW certainly has a way with women

To be honest the aesthetic is still largely there with the diving suits (and especially the awesome deep sea diver model), but certainly the new models with the bare heads really don't look as good as the helmeted ones. Not to mention it goes against the point of why they wear diving suits and helmets in the first place (because they live in an environment with often-toxic gases around, and need the suits to breathe in order to go about their sky-voyages for resources and profit).

Of course, it should be possible to use spare helmeted heads from the older kits if there are enough to go round across the new ones, but it's the principle.

And of course, the cover... when the previous three Kharadron Battletome covers all correctly depict them fully suited up with a helmet, this new one is very much doing the job of shooting the lore inside the book in the foot. Especially when they could have used the aforementioned deep sea diver Kharadron instead, which would have kept up that tradition and looked fantastic artwork-wise.

The Critical Drinker would be having barrels of fun poking holes in GW's design choices if he knew about this

Playing a 'Legacy' army in TOW right now is no different to playing any army in an older Edition.

GW say they're not willing to add further support to the PDF rules? Doesn't matter, you have the PDF rules that are balanced pretty well with the base lists in Forces of Fantasy and Ravening Hordes, and you can keep your saved copy of said PDF even if they later delete it on Warhammer Community without replacing it with an eventual Arcane Journal (though I'm expecting they'll eventually release Journals for all the 'Legacy' factions once they've replaced their Warhammer Fantasy ranges with new AoS ones and then ported the old models over to TOW... why not? It's as much a no-brainer as bringing back Warhammer Fantasy was in the first place - more models being sold for minimal investment, even if they're old, means more PROFIT).

Moreover, if GW decide to release a TOW 2nd Edition/Fantasy 10th Edition that isn't compatible with the 'Legacy' lists, again it is no problem, as one can just keep the current Edition alive as per previous Editions of the game. Indeed if they do to TOW what they're doing with the Horus Heresy that is very much what I will do.

Necrons are my joint favourite, along with Tyranids. New Necrons and Tyranids are always welcome in my book

Fortunately I work in a job that gives me access to a computer for most of the day, and I work at home 80% of the time, so when doing so I work on some of my fan-made supplements in between assignments. It serves as a nice break in between the hard graft of software testing.
