What are the odds ForgeWorld are going to update their legacies too. It seems they will give us updated unit profiles, but the legacies aren't needed for that and aren't valid in their current form in 8th. Are we going to have a wait until they reprint their IA books for 8th to get those? That is, assuming they intend to keep them at all.

It's less "Traditio just wants to win" and more "Traditio desires to dance to the songs of lamentation and bathe in the tears of the power gamers who realize that their armies are now useless."

Spoken differently:

That's what you GET!

What I hope is that GW makes good on their promise to keep the game balanced, that way we'll see different armies moving in and out of the top tier list, making the act of just finding the best army as soon as the edition comes out and selling their scatbikes or riptides for whatever the new thing is no longer a viable way to play the game, as the best army will change as time goes on. That way WAAC players will only be able to exploit broken stuff as long as it doesn't dominate tournaments and get fixed in the ensuing complaint storm.

And with yet another reveal, GW cements the validity of going retro. Classichammer it is, from here on out.
