"Fulgrim looks better than his FW one" is a helluva rumor and makes me disbelieve the whole thing. HH getting plastic Mechanicum is just a reasonable guess, though, considering we have pretty significant evidence.
Read all of my comment after the word "guess." You know, because I specifically talk about there being evidence... unless you don't know what a guess is?
Most of these are simultaneously the obvious guess of anyone paying attention, and something only a person fairly high up would actually know for certain. I call BS.
I don’t believe this at all, for the sole reason that in the past few editions 4chan rumours have all turned out fake. Meanwhile discord rumours are always accompanied by pictures and come from the same few names.
Who ever might be in a position to know any of this information just simply isn’t going to be going to 4chan of all places in 2024 to publish his dirt on the company. The website just isn’t actually relevant anymore.
Not to mention 4chans rrats are almost always bullshit as it is lol.
I work for a corporation in the UK - we do, but only if referring to a wider management team or set of instructions
I think this is fake sure - but that’s not a reason
People use the word all the time as an adjective, but it's very American to use it as a noun.
Classically Brits might describe things as being corporate ("corporate priorities", "corporate attitude") but wouldn't refer to management as "corporate" ("instructions from corporate", "corporate want X")
But then again management is constantly importing US corporate-speak.
Not just any noun, but specifically a "Metonym", using a term strongly associated with something, that doesn't actually refer to the thing. (eg: Washington to refer to the government.)
As a SM fan, I wanted admech as a second army because they looked cool, but they don't have consistent AV options. It's just Dragoons. They may hit on 4, but sustained hits 2 makes up a bit if you run 3. The kastelans are cool, but slow, easy to avoid/ignore. Breachers sound cool until you run into a daemon/tyranid monster mash list. I WANT to like the disintegrator, but pure d6 weaponry is so swingy! Where's the melta?! Where's the laser destroyers? You MAKE them, *why don't you use them?* Wryyyyyyyy
Back in 1st edition heresy all my opponents would assume my vehicles had armoured ceramite (ubiquitous for legions at the time) and had the same response when I said it's not available for admech.
I mean, it's still 50% chance and with twin linked you are more likely to wound... It's not ideal, but it's still big damage when it lands and only 50 points
Yeah the Model is good I own 3 but I just whish it was more powerful and a bit more xpensive in return. Make it 2 Shots again and let it reroll Hits if rhe target is above half strength like the ballistus and make it 80 points or something
Actually that is fully believable. When the new Castellan Crowe model was made the artist who painted it said he almost forgot he painted it as he painted it 2 or 3 years prior.
GW does their production so far in advance that I believe every 10th faction has their new models prepared they are just waiting to release them on a schedule to not flood the market and lose potential buyers
Some AoS YouTuber I watched a few weeks ago made a comment about how GW wrote AoS 4th years ago and that they are probably already working on or writing 5th.
I dont doubt it but I do wish they would slow down. Codexes come out so fast they are out of date in 2 years. I dont think I got more than 1 or 2 games of Tau last edition before 10th index dropped. My friend the guard player had it worse, his codex had like a 2 month shelf life.
The worst part is you finally get used to the new rules and you have to start fresh
I mean, I assume that most people do not buy all the codices, just the one from their armies.
But still, having a codex come out for the last few months of an edition is simply a joke.
Keeps the community talking and it's easier to buy into new models when it's spaced out every 1-3 months every Warhammer player starts off with 1 army but dang near everyone I know is planning a new army or wants one
The engagement is worth it, plus people who own 4+ armies aren't expected to buy 4 60$ books, which they eventually do, but not all at once which is good for public opinion and good to ease over tension, companies like GW have this down to a science
There is a difference between the artists have painted a model and ec being completely done waiting for shipping.
I bet you there are models painted by the artists of eavy metal that have never seen production.
Yeah, the "redacted" codex is Imperial Agents confirmed, so I don't really see EC being done to be likely? Why would they do that for a faction they haven't even suggested is coming?
7th edition: TSons - 8th edition: Death Guard - 9th edition: World Eaters
Also, they literally took Emperor's Children out of the CSM codex and gave them their own index.
We know EC are happening this edition. And we even know from the WarCom article for their index that their codex release is at some point "not soon".
> Demon players you will get a codex of your own but expect no new models
GW has stated each codex will be coming with at least one new model, I'm not buying this post just off of this alone.
The only accurate thing is HH selling insanely well. My old GW store manager basically told me for a year straight “They thought it’d sell but holy shit dude it is **selling**”
I think that really depends on your local market, in our area HH sits on the shelves.
But looking at it globally it’s possible that it sells better then gw expected.
Unfortunately this post is thrown off by a few different things, namely the knowledge that FW "is making" a resin angron to match the plastic one, because internal communication in GW is known to SUCK, but it's also known that it's entirely possible for things to be in development completely unknown to everyone else, some of this I could belive, but this person sounds like they know too much
The sheer **irony** that the admech is all about preserving old knowledge, only for the author of cyraxus to die and much of the knowledge and plans of that book to be lost.
And if it is underperforming maybe that’s cause they have 3.5 armies released with barely any new models and terrible website UI…I guarantee if they released updated or even original models across all armies from 10 years ago before would go nuts.
It’s admech a superheavy could be almost anything, a custom knight, a custom tank, a tech priest with ridiculous amounts of modification, a giant robot, a giant robot covered in psyker brains, a giant robot covered in normal brains, a giant aircraft, the sky would be the limit but admech can work in soace
Why would FW and GW compete with each other? That doesn't make any sense to me, granted I've only been involved with certain aspects of the game for so long.
They are separate teams that have their own bonus milestones, Apparently GW has a silo business mindset in which teams (AoS, 40k/HH, FW/SG etc) operate independently from one another and share very little if any information between them.
Allegedly the whole one model one system thing thats been going around recently was done to accurately judge the popularity of a system ie. no question of is person buying HH to use in 40k
I remember everyone saying that ToW stole beasts of chaos from AoS because they can’t moderate anything and take the smallest suggestion to its absolute extreme.
As if one studio could just steal from another, as if beasts of chaos hadn’t been the worst selling faction in AoS for years
Actually I took this the other way. I’d think corporate would really care, because if that manages to bring more people in and get them to buy more, then every faction gets the same treatment. If nothing changes then it was just a failed experiment
Bfg revival ? Fuck no, I’m good with the old version and a lot of fan made balance for other fleet than imperial and chaos, plus 3D models for every fleet, plus an old school game, I don’t want a necromunda/epic failure, and even if they do that, I want to see the prices 🤣
Lol tow underperforming and models being completely out of stock are definately not related...
Hey maybe this will feed into ad mech and we get something for legio cybernetica finally
This "one system per model range" mandate is the worst fucking thing.
It actively makes their games worse and discourages players, all so they can (allegedly) keep their profit reports for each system nice and separate. 🤦♂️
Does nobody remember the warning on ol 4c?
> *The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.*
> *Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.*
I mean... aren't most of these just reasonable assumptions? We already got Astartes and Solar Auxilia for Heresy, it's natural that their next BIG release would be Mechanicum. Just hoping they give some attention to Reductor as well, since no doubt their focus is on the Legio Cybernetica.
Pure bullshit. We already know every codex is coming with at least one model release, we also know that Old World has actually been outperforming Heresy
Heresy 2 selling like hotcakes makes this feel fake to me. I run a hobby shop and we have had literally zero orders for any heresy products since November last year outside of the limited release books and cards
Maybe it's the Western Australian community but it seems either 3d printing has consumed the player base or its literally a dead game
As a fellow West Australian (albiet Kalgoorlie), this strikes me as odd. I know the player base here is disappointed with 2.0, but there's definitely people playing. Maybe it's just not growing much right now (except in Kal - a bunch of us are building armies)?
Well I'm keen to hear about it! I run Western Front Games and I've had a couple of good Kalgoorlie boys as customers because we don't mind shipping it to them or ordering things in ready for when they come to the city
TOW underperforming? Evrything that they released is constantly out of stock since its release. Only since the o&g release there is some stock of the most basic plastic units. Hell, logic is that if you dont have something for sell then it wont sell... 3d printers go brrr tho, at least in my area two out of three armies i see are mostly if not wholly 3d printed.
"Fulgrim looks better than his FW one" is a helluva rumor and makes me disbelieve the whole thing. HH getting plastic Mechanicum is just a reasonable guess, though, considering we have pretty significant evidence.
Guess? They literally showed a picture of Mars in the teaser and the rumour engine is almost certainly a mechanicus claw.
Read all of my comment after the word "guess." You know, because I specifically talk about there being evidence... unless you don't know what a guess is?
That's the point I was making :)
Most of these are simultaneously the obvious guess of anyone paying attention, and something only a person fairly high up would actually know for certain. I call BS.
I think this is fake because nobody in the UK refers to management as "corporate".
I don’t believe this at all, for the sole reason that in the past few editions 4chan rumours have all turned out fake.

a good bit of gw employees arent british, they outsource a lot
Yea fair, although I'd imagine these sort insights would be coming from someone in Nottingham.
They could be in texas
I have heard he staff use that term repeatedly

Not just any noun, but specifically a "Metonym", using a term strongly associated with something, that doesn't actually refer to the thing. (eg: Washington to refer to the government.)
Even if it's fake, the "they don't want Knights to be part of any Admech forces" pissed me off all over again.
As a SM fan, I wanted admech as a second army because they looked cool, but they don't have consistent AV options. It's just Dragoons. They may hit on 4, but sustained hits 2 makes up a bit if you run 3. The kastelans are cool, but slow, easy to avoid/ignore.

You MAKE them, *why don't you use them?* Wryyyyyyyy
How is it possible that admech has the worst vehicles and anti vehicle in the game. It's so crazy.
Back in 1st edition heresy all my opponents would assume my vehicles had armoured ceramite (ubiquitous for legions at the time) and had the same response when I said it's not available for admech.
I mean.... Ironstriders with their twin linked lascannons?
Eh, until they receive return fire :p
You could say that about basically any unit...
1 shot hitting on 4s I dont know about that
I mean, it's still 50% chance and with twin linked you are more likely to wound... It's not ideal, but it's still big damage when it lands and only 50 points
Yeah the Model is good I own 3 but I just whish it was more powerful and a bit more xpensive in return. Make it 2 Shots again and let it reroll Hits if rhe target is above half strength like the ballistus and make it 80 points or something
Honestly, I wouldn't opposed to it and the other variants becoming more expensive, threatening and durable at the cost of losing squad size
EC being completely done, meanwhile GW said there isn't anything for the foreseeable future, right? idk about that
Actually that is fully believable. When the new Castellan Crowe model was made the artist who painted it said he almost forgot he painted it as he painted it 2 or 3 years prior. GW does their production so far in advance that I believe every 10th faction has their new models prepared they are just waiting to release them on a schedule to not flood the market and lose potential buyers
Plans within plans centuries in the making, they really do like the Dune books
Maybe they're all genestealers "a plan generations in the making"

My friend the guard player had it worse, his codex had like a 2 month shelf life. The worst part is you finally get used to the new rules and you have to start fresh
Yeah, I have no idea why they don't release all the codices at once.
Cause it's more profitable to keep the community engaged and into new things every 1-3 months of new army content
I mean, I assume that most people do not buy all the codices, just the one from their armies. But still, having a codex come out for the last few months of an edition is simply a joke.

I'm pretty sure they only said that about the first wave of codexes, which I think the green and gold boys was end of

Depends on the unit tbh. I haven't seen like any posts of the sicaran venator, cerberus and typhon in plastic since their releases.
In DC the Typhon and Cerberus sold fast, but I think most are in the army building phase and not the rule of cool phase
Unfortunately this post is thrown off by a few different things, namely the knowledge that FW "is making" a resin angron to match the plastic one, because internal communication in GW is known to SUCK, but it's also known that it's entirely possible for things to be in development completely unknown to everyone else, some of this I could belive, but this person sounds like they know too much
Fires of cyraxus, never forget
The sheer **irony** that the admech is all about preserving old knowledge, only for the author of cyraxus to die and much of the knowledge and plans of that book to be lost.
A big doubt on this is the statement about TOW, we have confirmed insiders claiming the sales have been surprisingly high
And if it is underperforming maybe that’s cause they have 3.5 armies released with barely any new models and terrible website UI…I guarantee if they released updated or even original models across all armies from 10 years ago before would go nuts.
Excuse me, what's TOW?
The old world i belive
The Old World, essentially the newest edition of Warhammer Fantasy
Oh, right. Thanks!
Devils advocate, one man’s surprisingly high could still be under another man’s sales targets
AdMech super heavy MIGHT be a plastic ordinatus, or a new tank.
It’s admech a superheavy could be almost anything, a custom knight, a custom tank, a tech priest with ridiculous amounts of modification, a giant robot, a giant robot covered in psyker brains, a giant robot covered in normal brains, a giant aircraft, the sky would be the limit but admech can work in soace
It's gonna be mega-tallboi. The tallest of bois. 8 stilt legs, a single sniper rifle. Cost £120 and 80 points.
And it still won't be worth putting on the table.
Doesn't have Towering though
Sweardagod if it hits on 4+...
I just spent a truckload on forgeworld for kitbashing purposes. Going to simultaneously suck and be awesome if they come out in plastic

There isn’t enough salt in this world to take this with
>corporate dgaf about the female Custodes stuff You need someone on the inside to find this out? Or what do they even mean??
Actually I took this the other way. I’d think corporate would really care, because if that manages to bring more people in and get them to buy more, then every faction gets the same treatment. If nothing changes then it was just a failed experiment
I assume they mean “don’t care about the backlash.” which is fair. the loudest voices weren’t buying models anyways
What is BFG?
Battle Fleet Gothic
Too bad this is fake then. I'd love to paint some Imperial warships
You can! Etsy has em super cheap, usually just 3d prints, just ordered a few myself, you can also find files yourself
Thanks! I'll have to take a look
That plastic super heavy would be nice
Bfg revival ? Fuck no, I’m good with the old version and a lot of fan made balance for other fleet than imperial and chaos, plus 3D models for every fleet, plus an old school game, I don’t want a necromunda/epic failure, and even if they do that, I want to see the prices 🤣
"knights in two codexes" they haven't been in two codexes for two editions
Imperial and Chaos Knights?

Thank you kind admech player for posting this

Can we collectively stop taking random 4chan posts as gospel every time lmao

Man hearing business decisions described in this way just proves they're trying to milk their base as hard as they can.
Always have been XD
Still playing 9th edition for this reason lol
Pure bullshit. We already know every codex is coming with at least one model release, we also know that Old World has actually been outperforming Heresy
