No, no, I bought the book (My GW wont allow returns). Copied what I needed (via iPhone & Android pad). Sold the book on ebay. Broke even. Is that copyright infringement?

More importantly, was it a rumor or news regarding IG or AM.......?

Yes, yes it was. I was remarking on the units that are in the at codex... As witnessed by a GW high up manager. Oh well.

The real question is- Can you play a game with that method of "Codex creep"?

I'm not a real fan of the I phone kids walking in and thinking I'm going to go with that. I'm old school as it gets, you'd better be bringing in the books, or something of substance.

I have a company of Ogryn. The real question on deck- what is the weapons load out, do they have their own heavy weapon section, or are around 20 or so ripper guns a bit much from an abhuman wave assault, before I roll in the tanks? not even going to start on the added rats in the back with the covering sniper fire, and the red red groovy flows.

Has anyone else thought that maybe they have managed to plug all of the leakers? That is why nothing is getting out perhaps?

Anyone in Nottingham that can drive past head office and see if there are fresh heads on the spikes outside?

My guess is the business strategy previously supported leakers, but now with the new white dwarf it conflicts with their business model of have white dwarf exclusive leaks "spies" are no longer necessary to generate buzz. I like things the old way, getting rumors from the streets, makes me feel a whole lot more like a baddie

I didn't choose the modelin' life, the modelin' life chose my wallet.

Wow, guess my digital downloaded codexes have been nullified then.

AT codex has scions, scion command, allies chart almost identical to knights, taurox and upgrade/weapons variations, ogryns with upgrade options & bulls...can be allies or from what I was told nearly a stand alone army! Several mentions to use other codexes, like for Valkyrie, chimeras, etc...

Btw, I always print out hard copies of my digital dexes... Just for those types.

Metal ogryns are being removed from GW's website now (only one remaining).



This pisses me off (sorry for being vulgar). I was waiting for leaked info / rules for if they would become playable, before committing to pay 70€ for a set of them.
Now I will just have to look at this uninspired goofy plastic version.

I'm sure with the trend of GW they think no changes are needed beyond limiting our strengths.

I noticed a couple of months ago some of the DKOK stuff was going "out of stock", more has gone out of stock now.

Was hoping it was because something new was happening (and hoping it wasn't because they were dropping DKOK).

Emailed FW and they said it was because some of the moulds were in poor shape and needed to go back to the design studio for fixing up.

Might hold off on any DKOK purchases until they come back, FW stuff is dodgy enough without also getting the last few models before moulds are replaced, lol.

Oh, these inconvenience about resin moulds happen all the time.
Despite the casting being done at room temperature, resin casting is quite harsh for silicon moulds, because of materials gluing to each other.

Just wait a few days / weeks.

Yeah, they said it could be up to a month, but I think it's now been more than a month since they went out of stock and more DKOK kits have gone out of stock since then.

Wow, glad I got my order of dkok then!

Seriously?

If you know a new book is coming and you know a new kit is coming, then buy the old models you like.

At worst--you've overpaid for a unit that will be crap. At best--you've underpaid for a unit that is now pretty awesome in the new book and have a unique looking unit that other people are going to have to hunt on eBay for.

Seriously...


At this point, we have no indication if ogryns will stay in the cupboard.
We already know that for some recent dual-unit kits, one is good, the other is trash.
Maybe Bullgryns are the only viable choice ?
Current price for an ogryn set is quite high, and at 4 models, the unit is barely complete. Six ogryns would be nice (105 € = 145 $).
I'm just not willing to put a bet at this price level.

Ogryns whom casually drags chimeras to wounded so they can get the med kit is not concerned by weight.

If ill ever get Ogryns ill remember that shoulder pads out of tank treads...

I guess I tend to ignore ridiculously over-the-top elements of the fluff. But if you like that sort of thing, then so be it and more power to you.

So long as you deleted the copies when you sold the original, no.

Please don't use your posterior to project your voice.

The 4 model pack of Stormies has been in the Troops section of GW's IG range showcase on the site purely since at the very least Christmas or just before it when I contemplated buying them and checked them many times debating internally on whether or not to wait.

I deleted the 4 pics. Afterall, I have the WD that has the 2 pages (that are in the codex too), and I'll just use the store's courtesy copy when I am there...

Dunno if this has been said yet, but still no advanced orders... or will that be tomorrow instead?

Erm, what?

Pre order for the VSG went up last night (GMT) and sold out almost immediately. The pre orders for IG were never expected until next week, and will go up Friday evening as is the new formula.

When I worked for GW, we all got our codexes about 2-3 weeks before theywere due to sell, so we could read and be able to make selling points to trade stores. That's a primary way that leaks happened.

In the good old days, those weren't leaks. Games Workshop deliberately sent new products out to stores in advance of the release date to build up interest.

While models were sent out, codexes and rules were not. Hence the Storm of Chaos purge that was designed to find out who the big leaker was.

'Cause the last thing we want is our customer base getting excited about upcoming products.

Total unending secrecy, even in the face of Armageddon!
