And how long can they dine out on those excuses?

That'll depend on production lead times and lingering effects. Vaccine program continuing will help to mitigate the COVID side of things eventually; Brexit is probably more of an issue with exports to Europe than otherwise; and the UK shutdown only started to lift two or three weeks ago.

The bigger question will be whether or not we end up having to go for another lockdown because people are idiots...


I don’t quite see how covid has affected GW greatly. model sculpting, codex writing, PR can all be done remotely. Only the factory work would be difficult but the rules have always stated that if you can’t work from home then you can go to the office. Unless GW asked its staff not to go to the factory for health reasons, which Id respect.


The ability to collaborate is greatly affected. Playtesting becomes harder, too.

Deadalus come on dude. They don't playtest. Collaboration? I guess the pubs are closed so they can't get smashed and come up with bad ideas...If anything this should help with making a sober ruleset.

They should have delayed Charadon, period. No one wants Day 1 DLC (unless it's busted and you're a comp player, I guess). Admech book isn't even out and you're throwing out additional content. If the codexes were delayed for Covid, Brexit, whatever, then delay Charadon too until you catch up.
There are so many armies lacking in 9th right now, but because they have new sisters models to sell, that codex is up soon (and is one of the few codexes that really didn't need an update yet). Very frustrating. The only reason why the pushback from the community is so mild is because most people are not really playing much, so it's more of a case of "who cares what they release, can't play anyway".
Tau, GSC, Chaos marines, Guard, Craftworlds (although I don't want that released unless with a substantial co-release of new miniatures) all need a new codex over a dumb campaign book adding additional rules. Crusade books, sure.....go to town with those alongside releases, but not the Charadon style books. Bloat for the Bloat God.

You guys act like there are no Russian websites that will have full high res copies for download within 24 hours of release. But I'm betting enough players will be slavering at the local GW store on release day to justify the practice in perpetuity. I mean the sheer number of Youtuber influencers that need to post their "special in depth analysis" within 10 hours of release is at least 25% of the predicted market.

I'm sure Auspex Tactics will have a video entitled "Which Belacor lists are better" withing 5 hours, that spans exactly 31 minutes (gotta get those sweet youtube algorithm dollars) and says exactly nothing.

What I hate about new model releases is they amount fo people on Instagram that post the GW image of the new model as if they are giving you the news first hand and that you haven’t already seen these new models 1000 times

Imagine even trying to defending this absolute junk and justifying consooming a product which offers at most, 3 pages of mediocre rules content and '''''lore''''' that advances the story that most likely is summarised by "and then the bad guy continues his evil scheme, edging ever closer after being fought to another draw".

Campaign books are crap. They're overcosted junk offering rules that tend to either be incredibly bad or in some incredibly niche way, incredibly overpowered. Most of the 40k lore can be read online for free (and much of it now is just repetitive junk which contradicts itself). I can't wait to learn how Be'lakor (a character who should've never been ported to 40k in the first place, but GW needed more money) enacts a master plan to do nothing and continues his nefarious schemes that go nowhere.

They're also incredibly short lived. None of the content in them feels special (do people even play the missions these offer?)

The biggest indicator someone is a loser is them complaining about 3d printers or piracy.

But it takes time to train a dartboard monkey to be a mouse monkey, and then there's setting up the room to feel like a bar so the monkey knows it's supposed to be throwing darts. All in all, just a huge mess.

Probably because GW doesn't nerf reasonably and they smash a unit or rules into pieces. Y'all got the memory of goldfish to forget that.

Nah, they do it because actually fixing something takes too much work and effort. So it is easier to do a "fix" of something that ends with us never seeing a castellan ever again.

Yeah they nerf units to uselessness because of WAAC players. LOL whatever helps you sleep at night.

Okey. Then explain the nerfs that happened to GK in 8th ed. GK were one of the bottom tier armies, but through out 8th ed it even became a meme that every FAQ batch there are going to be nerfs for them in it, or removal of rules and units.

To get things back on topic here.

It looks like Thousand Sons are going to the next Chaos army, which I found kind of surprising. I fully expected Daemons or Vanilla CSM to come next.

Really curious to see how this army of renown will interact with the Daemon and Vanilla dex.

Not quite. They'll do it because of Whales, but not WAACholes (though, it may be hard to tell the difference). WAACholes were the reason GW shut down their forums due to toxicity. Whales will just move on.

Not saying people can't be a mix of them, but a WAAChole is someone who won't (or can't) move on, and doesn't always rely on the new choices to win (like bad measuring, bad rules lawyering, etc). Some Whales are just pokemon collectors, always collecting the new shiny or just ones who want to be completionist.

And that is why they let other armies smite spam? Plus we are talking here about the GW that thought that letting dark reaper proc extra shots from DE flock bases was an okey idea. Plus later on they did make an all psyker army with regular smite, and 1ksons were not breaking the game.

The same way DG does. Would make sense if it was done the same way.

If you have to kill, then kill in the best manner. If you slaughter, then slaughter in the best manner. Let one of you sharpen his knife so his animal feels no pain.
