It's a start.
 

First tardis. Next, Titans.

 

Hey Cru, when can I order a Reaver off ya?

Well considering I tried to get a Multi-Melta from them about a year and a half ago (can't buy them single anymore now GW clamped down on bitzbox) and have yet to receive it, might be some time

I feel this quote needs to be immortalised forever:

 

"Our crops will wither, our children will die piteous deaths and the sun will be swept from the sky. But is it true?" - Tom Kirby, CEO, Games Workshop Ltd 

 

...Beautiful.

"Our crops will wither, our children will die piteous deaths and the sun will be swept from the sky. Have we copyrighted that setting yet?" - Tom Kirby, CEO, Games Workshop Ltd 

Made it more realistic.

Sadly true.

 

So, news on the g*CENSORED*vine is that Grey Knights are the next release. usually, I wouldn't bring it up. BUT, the big news here is that the release is going to be codex only.

 

Possibly the first release where there are zero new models being produced outside of a digital only codex.

 

Some people have pointed out that this might be because the codex is being opened up to more generic C:SM toys. I think it's certainly interesting. The question is, what kits can they open up to GKs from C:SM?

 

Flyers are an option, and I can see the GKs getting access to Stormtalons.

Drop pods, though stupid seeing as most GKs can DS anyway, could happen.

Dreadnoughts may well be expanded to include the Ironclad.

 

Scouts, Devestators, Assault Marines, Tactical Marines and Terminators are all unlikely, as GK equivalents for those already exist, or else don't exist in current fluff - although GW retconning fluff to make a sale is far from unheard of. Yes, I do still hold the abomination that is 5th ED Necrons over them.

 

I personally wonder what the cause is for no models. Seems ot me that GW would jump at the chance to push a new flyer/superheavy/megawalker for any faction. GK had Dreadknights and Stormravens, but I doubt that would stop GW from releasing something if they could... so, why not?

 

I wonder if the production side of things have taken a hit financially? Perhaps the design team?

[JC 042]

They're keeping quiet about the mega-uber-dread-titan-extreme model they are making.

 

It also includes an inbuilt bubblegum dispenser (not to dispense bubblegum microtransaction required).

Only Citadel^TM Finegum^TM from a Citadel^TM Finegum^TM Dispenser^TM.

They mentioned this awhile back. Instead of waiting for new stories, pictures, models and rules for a codex they will launch digital only codexes for existing models to bring them up to current rules. If you recall Dark Eldar pretty much went gimped through most of 5th edition and got their codex right before 6th edition. The idea here was to "patch" (used to be free errata) a codex for new core ruleset, making the army more competitive and letting them make more money. 

 

If they stick to their promise this codex should be cheaper than a normal one

[An_A10_Pilot]

Hmm. Interesting indeed. Still, I'm going to <BAM!>. 40 dollars for a codex is still far too much for a slight update.

[CruciasNZ]

.............and it was only so long until someone mentioned breaching copyright & stuff, surprised it took so long oO. NEW RECORD!!!

[An_A10_Pilot]

....... did you just censor me for suggesting something? I didn't even link anything. O.o

Just saying your gonna do it and naming where can get all of us pretty screwed :/

[Authrix]

Indeed it can. That's a no no.

[CruciasNZ]

Ya, that's why the rules say discussing and linking is a bad thing. 

[Armoured Priest]

Unless getting bend over the table financially is something you're into for some odd reason.

So yes, shush.

[CruciasNZ]

Go back to jumping out of bushes and stabbing people. After all that's politically correct around here

 

Bonus points if you stab someone from GW. Uber points if it's Matt Ward

[An_A10_Pilot]

Ive killed matt ward at least 17 times. But the just have some clone factory that keeps popping them out.
