yes and no

yes this is still not consumer friendly, yet it will solve the codex creep problem to some point and still work with their sales models

no, it is not a problem for Crusade like content because a game should be meant to be there for longer
that GW releases a new game every 3 years and call it "edition" to give the illusion of continuity is a different problem
if it would be just a new Edition, you would have that problem the first time the game is released and not with every edition as the Crusade rules would be there and valid with the next one

I’ve no issue with them releasing a new edition every three years. That seems a reasonable schedule to me. What I do have a problem with is stretching the codices out over that three year period.

Get them all out within 12 months. Just get it done and allow people to enjoy the edition on a level playing field for the two years left of the cycle.

Year two and three they can use for a narrative campaign and things like boarding actions.

I’d have bought all that space hulk scenery and rules if I had any faith that they’d still be useable by the time I’d painted them. But we all know the rules support will tail off. They might be part of 10th. But I bet they won’t be part of 11th.


Not enough months in a year. They would not get people start as many armies with new codex. The releases would compete with each other.


I guess so. But right now, I’m kind of getting the opposite of FOMO with these campaign books and space hulk sceneries. I’m not scared of missing out because I know it’s going to be meaningless in eight weeks time. I try and get together with friends maybe two or three times a month. So that gives me maybe two or three games using the rules in these books. What’s the point?

they still can release the codex books together with new models or starter boxes
just need to write and test them all together and have a design plan going with them

there is simply no reason for a mid-edition design shift or not all books being on the same level except for "don't care at all about rules"


That would risk even books. Antithesis for marketing

The second animated tease they put up by mistake is now officially at Warcom - https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/03/20/the-shadow-clears/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=warhammer-40,000&utm_content=teyetease20032023

It mentions to keep an eye out at Adepticon for more, so I guess we're getting at least something (still predicting we'll get a HH style animated trailer for 10th, no models as such).

The blurb on the Instagram post for the teaser is dropping hints, or potentially throwing us off the scent... "Give this brutal hulk some space"

My personal theory is that this is for now all teasing Nids vs Termies as the final Kill Team Gallowdark chapter, which may or may not then tie into a Nids vs Marines 10th edition starter. Pretty sure the final 1st edition Kill Team box also matched the 40k starter set matchup of the time.

Can we take bets from people on:
- Space hulk
- 10th ed
- Both

I'm standing by the 10th ed side of this but there's a lot out there that were just expecting a space hulk (involving ultramarine terminators and gaunts no less).

Both. I think the models are Kill Team, but we'll also see some kind of annoucement for 10E.

First edition in the lofty heights of 6/7th was tau vs marines, starter was CSM vs DA
2nd edition was in 8th and features GSC vs Admech, starter set was DG vs marines
3rd edition is Krieg vs Orks obviously and current starter is crons vs marines

So nope on all accounts.

To add to this the flavour text of the video is: "That great psychic squall blocking interstellar communication has lifted for but a moment. Images have been broadcast from the surface of an embattled world" so specifically not on a ship or hulk.

The tweet implies Space Hulk but the WarCom article clearly says it's from the surface of a planet hurtling through the warp. They are really screwing with us now. Unless its a death star type thing.

I can believe Kill Team. Perhaps a boarding action Space Hulk-esc box set. But not actually Space Hulk.

I think you’ve misconstrued what the Community article said.

That great psychic squall blocking interstellar communication has lifted for but a moment. Images have been broadcast from the surface of an embattled world – spearing through a great shadow in the warp.


It’s not the planet spearing through the warp, but the images.

I'm assuming we'll continue to get teasers of the Terminator and the 'nid staring into each other's eyes until one finally works up the nerve to kiss the other.

I half wonder if it's an all-in type affair. It's Kill Team, Space Hulk and 10th all sharing one launch - buy your walls with KT, floor tiles with hulk and bigger armies with 10th..

I think that's just flavor text for the WarCom post.

The 'great psychic squall blocking communication'' is GW's employee zero tolerance gag order for yet to be released items.

The 'images' are the teaser images.

The 'great shadow in the warp' are the Tyranids.

Better. It is just one huge box that is at the same time a board game, a next KT, and a starter for 10th. GW ingeniousness level unreachable!

If it is kill Team, why does it have the 40k logo? Kill Team products have been marketed with the orange/Black background and the knife/skull emblem

I would be quite glad if they were going to make it clear that the boarding actions rules would carry over to 10th to justify the Space Hulk mentions.

While GW never want to go too early it would be a lot easier to justify buying that terrain if it was going to have a purpose in six months time.

Space Hulk... no.
10th edition... no.
Kill Team... no.

Re-release of the classic Tyranid Attack?

Yes.

The objective of the game is to win. The point of the game is to have fun. The two should never be confused.
