>>55147104
Eldar had better at least get one of the Aspects in plastic to go with this. And maybe some kind of Ynnari kit that include Kabalite and Guardian parts to mix together into Generic Eldar.

Greatcoat Guard is the dream; I know it won't happen because IG will be a no model release, but c'mon GW, time those Newcromunda Delaques to go with and do an upgrade sprue of us ushankas.

>>55147126

Where is this from? I'm really hoping for an update for my bugs that keeps them strong in 8th. We got it good with the Index.

Annoyed at lack of tSons. But I also play stormtroopers so I'm still ok.

This is good, hope there's some new Guard goodies with the codex.

Awesomeness.

>>55149695
I think November is Necromunda month, so don't expect much.
October seems like Eldar+Nids, might see one of them get something new. Dunno what

>>55149179
Nah bro Eldar will just get more FUCKHUGE centerpiece shit while the backbone of their line rots.
It's literally kept my from starting any Eldar force for almost 10 years now

>>55150186
any new kits will be finishing off killing finecast if both codexs are in the same month I doubt we'll be getting new units.
For nids that'd probably be a Pyrovore/biovore dual kit and a lictor/death leapet "character" blister.

eldar still have their aspect warriors and some characters in finecast, though I doubt we'll get them all at once unless they start combining some aspects into dual kits somehow.

>>55150218
Scorpions and banshees can probably have a dual kit with some simple arm and head swaps, likewise, dragons and avengers are a pretty easy dual kit.

>>55150214

>>55151465
I wonder how much Necro plastic they'll release

>>55151518
i'm not sure we will see new kit at all for all the new codex releases

So are Dangles rolled back into Space Marines or are we getting our own codex later?

But why Boss?

>>55149318

>>55150247
>>55150313
You seem to forget the difference in their armour.
Scorps, spiders, dragons and reapers wear heavy aspect armour where banshees, avengers and hawks wear the regular.

Better split kit would be Arachnids, Blasters, and Acrobats duo up while Avengers i dunno... use their existing plastic kit.

>>55152809

>>55152860

>>55147104
So are Genestealer Cults gonna get another codex, or are they 1) Gonna get forgotten about entirely as a faction with 3 kits 2) Get a codex with new stuff or 3) Get rolled into the Niddex?

My bet's on 3.

>>55153456
3 does seem like a possibility but I don't know if they want to stretch subfactions that far in a codex.

Tau are big enough that you'll find people wanting them. They aren't as overdue for the book as IG or Nids so naturally they know they won't be as early.
Hopefully soon cause Fire of Cyraxus is waiting on it

a shining spear kit was cheaper than to buy 3 individual jetbikes in the day.

you saved like 15 bucks.

>>55150348
Holy shit, it's much bigger than I thought, and actually looks completely retarded next to more in-scale models.
Like, with the wraithknight you can clearly see they tried to have a sense of scale about the model. It has more vents, more soulstones, more detail on its armour panels and its weapons, and so on, than the wraithguard. The detail all looks to scale, in 28mm a vent is the same density on a big guy or small guy.
But then you have that retarded ass revenant, it has LESS detail than the wraithknight, its limbs and body are more poorly proportioned, it looks like it should be small due to having a baby head and pauldrons, and then weirdly skinny limbs. It literally just looks like a giant scaled-up wraithguard, which is exactly the opposite effect to the one you want to give.
Shit/10 wouldn't buy for 100 euro, never mind the half a grand FW is probably charging for it.

>IG in next 3

please bring back platoons, or even just combined infantry squads, that's all I ask. I'm an infantry guy who's been playing my guardsmen for 7 years at this point and I'm going insane having to move around so many goddamn infantry squads individually. Used to be we could blob them up so 9 squads became three 30man units which kept book keeping and shenanigans to a minimum. Now you have to move each squad individually and it's a pain in the ass for the guard player and his opponent. Then they split the officers from their command squads upping unit count even more and yet insist that killpoints per unit is a balanced game mechanic. Makes movement take longer, deployment take longer, shooting phase is longer, and it lets us hideously abuse command points. Bringing back platoons would fix so much shit people are bitching about on both sides. Even tons down conscripts since you have to buy a bunch of other stuff to unlock them which tones down spam.

It doesn't help I was picking up a platoon of each regiment so my opponents could tell my units apart more easily, only to be told "lol platoons don't exist anymore, oh yeah now there are rules for each regiment after we intentionally snubbed you fuckos on that for like a goddamn decade."

I'm mad but here's hoping GW proves me wrong

Boring as shit copy/pastes of the indexes with some boring as shit faction bonuses added in so far.

>>55167928
Name one thing in the traitor legions book that actually got used that isn't in the 8th Ed codex

Because from what I can tell everything even remotely useful from that book made it into the 8th codex and then some.

>>55167886
you might end up last but still get nothing

>>55167967
>40k should be limited to waacfag cheese units and not tons of fluffy options

Fuck off fag.

But in answer to your stupid question:Tons of relics were ommited. For instance, in the Alpha legion's relic LIST (not a single shitty relic, but an entire list of relics for a single legion), there was the Mind Veil, which allowed extra movement for the bearer's unit. It was widely considered a very good relic, and it is omitted.

>>55158195
Eh. I dont care, nids dont really need anything right now besides some slight fixing here and there. Maybe a lord of war that isnt forgeworld and thats if i had to pick something. Pretty sure we are the only faction without access to a non forgeworld LoW currently

Oh, it's this retard again. Look buddy, Alpha Legion will get a relic list when it sells as much as space wolves or BAngels. Until then, you can shut up with your NPC army.

How do you guys bridge the gap between Index and Codex armies? My playgroup agrees just ignoring all the toys in the Codex would be a waste, but we're unsure on how to balance stuff like free relics and Stratgems vs Index lists.

>>55168085
Dark Eldar say hi, Harlequins too I suppose. Do Marines that aren't of the Ultra variety have LoWs either outside of FW?

>>55169001
Really depends on the army. Dark Eldar and Orks are still pretty competitive without their Codexes, I don't mind running mine against Marines/Spikey Marines.

>>55169136
DE and Harlequins are Aeldari Faction. Marines are Imperium Faction. Both of those have access to LoWs.

Tyranids are the only major Faction out of the 7 with exclusive keywords to not have a LoW.

Fires of Cyrus when? No seriously when its been forever now...

Thirty year 40k veteran, if you count the Marine in Talisman Timescape.

Have literally thousands of dollars of marines, nids and Tau.

Refuse to fucking pay that amount when I can get a whole Malifaux force for the price of one GW splatbook.

I don't give a flying fuck what's being released, if the nid codex is more than $50 Australian, I'm fucking done with GW. I've never pirated a thing in my life, and I'd rather simply stop playing GW games than perpetuate their ongoing discriminatory pricing practices against my fellow roo riders.

>>55150638
What show is this from ?

>>55153754
Totally straight married white male nid player here, so your stereotyping is wrong.

That said the person who introduced me to nids has turned out to be a transgender MTF woman, so YMMV

>>55169748
they're $70 aud

>>55169789
Marine codex was AU$84, more for hardback. Fucking ridiculous.

>>55169837
the hardback is the $84 version

>>55169841
Correction, collectors edition. No reason why the e-published version is only $1 less despite needing no printing or shipping.

>What is inflation in an unsustainable economy

>>55147104

None of those factions actually need a codex though, they're all solid, or in the case of IG and Nids, high to top tier. Meanwhile Orks are stuck with an index with one monobuild and 95% of our units being shit.

Yeah I'm happy for other people getting some love but I've been collecting Orks since 2007 and after the disappointment of 8th edition I was really holding out for a codex to fix the index issues we have.

>>55169604
it's in the Nova Open article

>>55175509
Tyranids are being carried by genestealers and the costs of half their units are retardedly high. Guard are in general in need of cost adjustments for balance reasons.

>>55169873
printing is only a small part of the costs for a game rulebooks. The big stuff GW has to cover would be the wages of all the designers, writers, artists and editors. They can't expext to sell enough digital copies to make it possible to sell them crazy cheap.

GW are behaving exactly like evey other game company, they're doing things to make money.

>>55175509
>None of those factions actually need a codex though
thats probably why they're doing the now. They can be a miniless rules tweak update like GK was, so they can get more codexs out sooner before the more involved updates start being worked on.

Why is it taking so long to get all the codexes out? I thought that was the whole point of this.

>>55179261
>Why is it taking so long to get all the codexes out?

All codexes in one year is literally the fastest they've released these things since forever, calm your tits and be thankful that they're not releasing 3 codexes a year like in 5th ed, this is anything but slow.

>>55179296
> 3 codexes a year like in 5th ed
But thats what they're trying to get around right? The whole codex creep. Yet here I am waiting for my turn once again.

>>55179261
>taking so long
>10 fucking Codexes in only 8 months
What the fuck are you on about.

>>55179316
codex creep has nothing to do with release frequency. Its to do with playtesting and how much they give a shit.
GW still only has finite resources and a small amount of design staff. You can't expect them to do 18+ books in a year with anything approaching acceptable quality.
Longer windows is actually for balance all other things being equal, gives more time for testing and tweaking.

>>55179408
>codex creep has nothing to do with release frequency.
>Says the guy who hasnt played against someone with strategems, relics and chapter tactics.

>>55179429
Different anon but that's not what Codex creep means you fucking retard, also I'm still stomping Marines with my index rules so maybe try and fucking get gud.

>>55179408
I'd settle for the main factions ASAP
Don't need every little snowflake immediately

>>55179482
It's not that simple, some armies are due for model updates and the timing windows need to take the development process for those kits into account.

>>55179499
Who is due for a model range update that might actually get it.
So don't list every Eldar model listing in existence or something

>>55179572
eldar aspect warriors do need an update and GW is killingg off finecast.
They could do them as 3 dual kits. Dark reapers/firedragons, scorpions/banshees and swooping hawks/warpsiders.

It seems like for now at least new kits will be totally new things or replacing finecast.

>>55179572
Pretty sure Orks are being delayed into 2018 specifically because they're getting new models.

>>55180011
I could see Orks getting something
New buggy supposedly?

>>55180011
>>55180518
>WHFB orcs have better models than 40k orks
>they get updated first

>>55180954
Thinking about it, being able to convert AoS to 40k probably bumps things even lower in the priority queue.
It pays to lack direct fantasy equivalents

>>55167886
At least replace the Finecrap charaters and Flayed Ones...

>>55175509
>Meanwhile Orks are stuck with an index with one monobuild and 95% of our units being shit.
Ork player since 2004 and have had a 80% victory rate against my opponents since 8th edition with just the index.

I'm honestly more terrified that our codex is going to nerf us instead of help us if anything, given GW's historical treatment of the greenskins since post-3e.

Based GW getting all these smelly non important codexes out of the way with no models so we can get back to what's important, new space marine models.
