Agree with these guys, as a long time lurker I used to really enjoy reading the latest news on dakka.

But threads like this just become totally boring and a chore to read.

great attitude! i dont care about X so why the should any of you?!
if you dont mind the points great for you. just dont assume you are the majority, and dont tell me i am not supposed to discuss something in a frikkin forum

and yes gretchin were maybe too good at 3 points but if raising them by 70% better throw them a bone too. 4 points should have done the trick... especially since orks only have TWO troop choices and do you know why nobody took boyz anymore??? because they suck! and they suck even more now... so orks are stuck between two sucky rocks and a hard place deprived of diversity and CP

and then there is the mekshop and stompa to add injury to the insult.

Exactly! It’s not like there isn’t a thread for points discussion in 40k general discussion. Talking of rumours, someone posted this on an FB group I’m in yesterday, no idea if any of it’s true, but hey it’s a rumour at least.

It does a big doesn’t it. But I can see at least some of it happening. Such as the faction specific primaris kits. The various BA, SW and, DA tactical kits are some of the coolest models in the space marine range. Seems weird that such things weren’t pushed out for things like Blood of Baal and Saga of the Beast though.

I am reminded of an image I saw on FB years ago, crudely drawn in Paint, on this very topic.

Two figures, one is squatting on top of a table with his naked bum held above a dinner plate.

The other asks "Why are you gaking on my plate?"

How about we redo all the kits still in FAILCAST before we go making ever more primaris.

If you want to play marine lists vrs marine lists thats what Horus Heresy is about, stop turning 40k into play Primaris or GTF.

Look at it this way - when they round out marines enough to be brave and remove the old midget marines, that's going to be what, 40-50 kits just gone overnight? Primaris padding out is a necessary evil for them atm. Plus it's not like there's a humongous necron release or anything.

I know I have probably 3-4 models/units I am not buying because they are still in failcast 10 years on.

While in that time GW have replace plastic marines with new plastics and now more plastuc chadmaris, not to mention the repulsive and the duplo drop box.

While we still have charictors for evry other faction in failcast, but what feels like 20 something primaris LT's

Aspect warriors oh yeah 1 kit that got put in a box that was so rediculously over priced it shockingly didnt sell.
Yet primaris get put in a box where their kits individually would cost more than the RRP of the boxset.

Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.

I think people need to just accept that GW make most of their money on Marine kits, they know that they will all sell like hot cakes. I get that people desperately want plastic kits for things like Warp Spiders, or Biovores, I’d love to see how awesome plastic Phoenix Lords like Karandas and Asurmen would look. But at the end of the day GW are a business and they have to make money. They know most players have at least some marine models as they’ve been in every starter set. For most people marines were their gateway into the hobby, so they know that they’ll be able to sell loads of marine stuff. There’s really no point crying about it, as it won’t change anything.

It’s not like we haven’t had new plastic kits replacing finecast stuff anyway, banshees, Jain Zar, Incubi and Drazhar just recently. Plus a huge amount of new Cron stuff coming. Sure there are more frequent marine kits, but the way I see it, the sales of marine kits pay for the riskier kits that may take longer to make their money back.

Overall 8th already felt like it was very focused on Marine releases, even more than before. If they started with faction specific Primaris units now I think they'll really stretch the patience of their customers. I'm pretty sure it's coming at some point, but after the debacle of the Marine Codex and its supplements last year where they lost a lot of good will from the other 20 factions in the game I think releasing even more Marines could generate the next shitstorm for GW. And after the ridiculous App, strange points and Indomitus I don't think that's what they want to have right now.

There's nothing preventing SW, DA, and BA from getting turned into supplements with updated new unique units.
That's actually for the best as it allows any updates to the standard Space Marine units in the main codex to also carry over into the supplement versions without 4x the FAQs and having to print either updated codexes or additional books (like Psychic Awakening).

Its almost like when GW ignores a model line for 20 years and doesnt support a faction, people stop buying said faction, and gw doesnt support said faction becuase people arent buying said faction... becuase they are too busy jerking out more primaris captains and lieutenant #592. Look at Dark eldar, they were stuck with a 2.5 edition codex all the way to fith edition, GW stores didnt even carry any stock of DE they were pretty much direct order only, and there were very few players, and after enough bitching they finally revitalized the line and it saw a decent resurgance, but have been plagued by terrible rules and poor balance.

Sisters of battle players were also in the same boat, a 2.5 edition codex all the way to 5th asking for new models / plastic models for 20 years and gw knew there was demand for it and guess what... they finally put some effort and relaunched the line and it sold like hot cakes... so its almost like... if gw put some money into fixing non space marine armies people might buy them again and gw would see people buying them and would put more money into it... but no instead they are stuck in a hell cycle of throwing 95% (arbitrary number) of their total resources at marines and wondering why so many people are pissed off that instead of fixing failcast, updating the eldar aspect warrior lines, <insert 20 year old model here> they are too busy replacing making the 593rd space marine character model or another unit of primaris marines.

While it was nice that banshees and the phoenix lord got new models, the rules were garbage becuase GW has no idea what they want to do with aspect warriors becuase they stole their identity and gave it to marines.

Its a complete joke that marines have more character that some armies have total units in their codex.

Was 8th Marine focused? Any more than previous editions. Off the top of my head, I can remember big releases for the following; Genestealer Cults, Eldar, Dark Eldar, tonnes of Chaos stuff finally updated, and new stuff, Slaaneshi Daemons, a bunch of Ork buggies etc, Admech, and plastic sisters.

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

I keep seeing people saying this, It’s not really an either/or though is it. GW clearly have a business plan regards to model release, they are very clearly updating/replacing finecast bit by bit. Some lines get massive updates like the Necrons, or Tau, others are being done piecemeal. Marine releases are their bread and butter, that’s what makes them the most profit. Of course that is where they will put the majority of their resources, what sensible business wouldn’t?

But hey, this is wildly off topic so I’m going to stop here.

As far as the rumours I posted go, I can see them being right, but I’d be very surprised if we didn’t see another big xenos release this edition. Necrons are getting pushed as the big villain for 9th, and the lore behind the silent king returning is him coming back to deal with the Nids. I can see the Nids getting updated because boy do they need it.
