Yeah, I mean, it's not a realistic hope. It's not even a farfetched hope. It's more of a what if GW did the exact opposite of what they're going to do hope.

Still, not something that should affect me all that much. If i get Sisters, I'm going to get them for the models alone. It's not like I'm suddenly going to start playing 8th ed.

I tried, lightheartedly. to persuade Victoria Lamb to design IG compatible Westies or Scotties to accompany her Highland models years ago. No luck....

Then again, Mad Robot still haven't produced the cyber camels I demanded for a Camel Corps inspired Praetorian Rough Riders unit. Too niche.

That was when IG Commanders could have wargear trademark items such as monocles or big seegars.


The Perrys did include terriers on the sprues for their Afghan War British. Realscale though not 'heroic' 28mm so they look a little small.

The wargaming world has far too few camel models. All those companies don't have a clue what's good!

I don't think this reveal is to tease the stuff coming later and more to placate people that the box we're getting isn't the only stuff we're getting for this line reboot.

They did troll me, all in good humour though, in their thread with a picture of a cyber camel's head. It had a laser monocle range finder thing.




Coming soon? indeed.

No one worth bothering with thought this was all we were getting.

No on on the forums, but the casual fan who only follows the Facebook, or maybe sees WHC isn't the same as the more fanatical of us who spend hours on forums arguing about little plastic space people.

I mean, we're only a fraction of the customer base, not everything the company does has to be targeted at us.

I'd buy a SC Cherubs, too. SoBs, Zombicide, Necro starter...but I need a new airbrush, too! Oh well.

GW is doing a lot of dog jokes in the Regimental Standard, btw, just today they included canines as a protected class of guardsmen again. I'm 50:50 on getting a few dogs if there's ever new guard squads released. The cool doberman from Rogue Trader can't stay alone in this cold and dark universe!

Remember the RS article from a while back. Canids are considered officers below the typical Junior officer ranks so Guardsmen will get in trouble if they act out against canids.

This should be the sticky for the entire News And Rumors section, and probably a hardcoded banner on the top of every page of Dakkadakka for good measure.

Nope, they must always be aiming to please me. That is hard fact. Though I'm not sure flying puppy monkey babies do that for me.

I mean, sure, but if they want my money, they kinda do have to target things at me to get it

MONEY FOR THE MONEY GOD,

I'd rather people worked out that what an individual poster wants isn't a declaration that GW has to service only them, nor is it a generalization that applies to everyone (or anyone) else.

Welcome to Dakka. If people aren't actually crying about GW not catering to their exact desires, then people just assume people are crying about GW not catering to their exact desires. And if it's neither of those, expect strawman arguments, diversions into other games that people think are 'better' in some way, or complaints about how the models don't look the way that a person expected.

Anyway, I'm just excited that the army box set is just the beginning. I'm expecting some neat things in the Codex that won't have been released yet, but I'm sure will already have pics.

So, couple of questions:

1. Do we think the final reveal Bulletin will reveal a few big kits (Exorcist, Immolator) that we haven't seen yet, or will it reveal some new units that no one knows about.

2. Do you think the Codex that will be arriving sometime this month (as part of the new box) will contain pictures of upcoming units that aren't in the preview box? GW have been quite good at keeping unrevealed units secret, even to the point of not putting pictures in Codex of minis that would be out a few months later.

I'm worried that this Ltd Ed Codex will be hamstrung by GW's usual over-the-top need to be secretive about everything. We know that the Beta codex had zero new units in it, but will the final book?

Even if they never get made, thanks for making me smile.

I expect the Codex to only contain the datasheets for the units that are currently available. New units would get their datasheets in some campaign supplement released in 2020.

1. Your guess is as good a mine. They will certainly give us something to chew on for the next few months before the general army release. I wouldn't be surprised if we got a taste of every unseen unit with pictures in the Codex. That brings me to...

2. Didn't the latest Codex Space Marines break this old rule? I'm pretty sure the Incursers had pictures in the Codex and they were not released until months later. It's not like GW hasn't been showing new models months in advance at their many previews. I would not be at all surprised if every "new" unit in the codex included pictures. They just all will be released within a few months of the box set release.

That's not even a rule, Nurgle tripod from Death Guard book over two years ago had release wait much longer than anything from SM codex...

There's a 0.00% chance that's what's going to happen. The only units that will be currently available when the book drops are Celestine, battle sisters, repentia, seraphim, pengines, arcos and the canoness, which is less than a third of the army before you get into the issue that they seriously lack equipment options at the moment.

You have to remember that GW doesn't really consider anything they don't currently sell to exist.

The book will have everything sisters are getting for likely the next 20 years in it, which is likely to just be plastic-ified versions of things that existed in metal.

Maybe further reveals are coming tomorrow:

The fleur is a lie.

I'm hoping we'll see the rest of the range, along with a 'Coming in January' tag... that'd be ideal.

I mean, think about it, this month we're going to get the Codex. Codex leaks are already starting to show up, little bits at a time. It's inevitable that either GW will release the rest of the range, or we'll figure it all out in the next couple weeks anyway.

My biggest fear is that there will be things missing from the codex that they'll add in a separate DLC book for sisters of battle later on...

A little something that popped on the book of faces.

It's neat that they're in the wild but the china leak kinda spoiled sprue pics and stuff.

The sprue looks good, lots of dynamic poses and interesting extra bits.

I don't think there are extra bits. They all look like regular parts of the models as far as I can tell.
