Why do they think they need 10th edition? Just patch the morale phase and the codexes. Release another limited box that's blood angels vs. Nids if you want.

New edition=print money button.

Do you need money? Why you think gw refuses getting as much money as they can?

2nd, 3rd, 8th. Only 40k editions that weren't just some batches in effect.

**jullevi**

The only thing interesting about new edition is to find out what makes it the best edition ever this time.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Oh boys!

Looks to be Angry Ron, New Bezerkers, possibly a new Cultist unit right up the back.

Also seemingly new Chadians and possibly a new IG Tank.

**blood reaper**

Looks like there's some melee cultists in the background as well.

**Arbitrator**

So does this go to confirm the whole "we're super early in development, we'll be sharing you the work in progress!" was always nonsense and the "we made Sisters because of the community poll!" was marketing tripe and a happy coincidence?

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Erm…..no?

I mean yeah 100% these projects are done over the course of years - if this was really super early in development we'd be seeing them in three or four years time.

**jullevi**

Angry Ron is not as cool as Ka'Bandha but at least he is plastic. Canadians look good from what I can see.

Yes.

Have never known GW to talk about models / rules they have not made.

where does that come from with the fact that world eaters are getting new stuff? seriously how does that tie to sisters of battle at all?

**Selfcontrol**

Years ago (3-4 years I think), there was an interview with John Blanche on Warhammer Community. At the end of the interview, he was asked which Traitor Legion was his favourite and he said it was the World Eaters.

Then, the interviewer said "If only we had models coming for them" before looking straight at the camera with a smile.

Of course the models are ready.

The fact Sisters went through the exact same entire song and dance of "Uhhh guys we're totally in early work in progress" as the World Eaters?

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Pretty sure they just said they were working on World Eaters? Hence they wouldn’t be in the main Codex.

But otherwise solid, solid Dakka. Show a pic of stuff people have been wanting for years (new Bezerkers, and Angron), and shift dem goal posts to get a quick whine in.

They mentioned in the streams where they showed stuff off that the reason we were only getting concept art for chain axes and artwork was because of how early in development the army was, but go off I guess.

**Chikout**

I thought it was common knowledge that almost all minis are finished 2 years before release.

Well sisters did take good 1.5 year from first preview to launch box(and then few months more for actual launch) so if WE follows same pattern expect them november 2023.

If they come sooner then no they aren't comparable cases at all.

I don't think you know what 'shifting goal posts' actually means.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

That’s not my recollection, but open to being wrong.

Either way? Get stuff earlier than expected.

Bitch piss and whine about it.

Profit?

This doesn't mean we're getting stuff earlier than expected, if it goes the same as Sister's release, this means they already have everything finished and completely ready for release, but are going to hog it for a year or so while pretending they're still totally working on it.

Nobody ever said the WE were "super early in development". Sharing some renders of chainaxes can be interpreted as WIP... that does not mean it had to be done recently.

Community wants updated Bezerkers. Has done for a long while.

GW makes Bezerkers.

Community - not that soon reeeeeeeeee.

The reeeeeeee is the audible sound of the goal posts being shifted, purely for the sake of something, anything to whine about.

It's very funny that people who complain about 'whining' so much (which was like, two comments by people saying 'I guess it's not as early as in development as GW claimed') fall into these bizarre, caustic rants. The amount of seethe on the part of some people on this site is completely unreal and totally disproportionate.

That's uh, NOT what people were posting.

People are not complaining it's a bad thing that they are coming out lol people are saying "I guess GW wasn't being honest or frank about development time".

Why are you people like this? The positivity cult here is insane. Any question or doubt of anything is taken as a desire to complain (incidentally, you are now fixating on 'complaining about the complainers).

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Well. Given we can prove anything with facts?

Warhammer Community post wrote: The new codex for the XII Legion is still a little way off – but the Warhammer Studio are hard at work in Khorne’s sweltering hell-forges, and we couldn’t be more excited. In the meantime, those of you who already have World Eaters armies can keep taking heads – we’ll soon be publishing an Index Hereticus of updated rules in White Dwarf, including datasheets for Khârn and the Berzerkers, to use with the new Codex: Chaos Space Marines.

Show me, precisely where, that is saying they’ve only just started working on them?

Not enough evidence people are talking utter, utter mince for the sake of something to whine about?

Same article wrote: Among the new models arriving with the codex are – of course – updated Khorne Berzerkers! The current miniatures have served the Lord of War for decades, claimed plenty of skulls and spilt their share of blood, and now it’s time for them to return to the Brass Citadel and put their feet up.* But what will the new miniatures look like? We managed to twist a few arms in the studio for an exclusive first look at something rather important…

Let’s carry on, shall we?

yep, same article. Funny what you can find when you bother to check and don’t just make stuff up wrote: Khorne Berzerkers can’t go anywhere without their roaring chainaxes, and they’ll be using these heinous hatchets to chop their way through everything the 41st Millennium has to offer.

That’s not all – the codex will contain old favourites, dark legends, and some things that you’ve never seen before… We’ll be bringing you more updates on Codex: World Eaters and these murderous new miniatures over the next few months on Warhammer Community – so you can follow the Eightfold Path right up to release.

Now, that article is dated 4 May 2022.

Nowhere. Literally nowhere. Does it say. In any way, shape or form World Eaters are just beginning as a project.

Nowhere does it say they’re a year or more out.

The closest thing to that, in an article now a smidge over two months old, I’ve bolded in the quote.

So please. Explain to me the basis of GW being awful liars here?

Don’t worry. I’ll wait.

Here's the quote from the related article, all it really says is that they weren't ready to show off the new model range yet

I don't recall them saying "super early in development" on the stream either.

I don't recall GW putting a timeframe out at all. It's not like they said, "Hey, guys, we decided last week to give the World Eaters their own codex. And we're finally making new Berzerkers; here's a render of the weapons the design team threw together yesterday."

They said it's coming, and here's a teaser for you.

Stuff is arriving sooner than people assumed, and then they whine about it. It's clear there's a segment of the local population that just needs to whine about something.

**Agamemnon2**

That's an amazingly garbage picture. There's also a floating cursor on it (by the edge of Angron's chainaxe)., and the cursor itself looks crappy and low-res. So I'm guessing a digital image leak instead of a printed publication.

The cropping looks odd and intentional. Or is this a vertical-mode phone pic? But if so, why is the quality so abysmal? Has it been enlarged? But if so, why has it been cropped so closely when there's clearly more interesting stuff right by the edges, like the lump to the right that could be a piece of a Guard tank?

**JSG**

Yes, sisters were already done, WE are already done and so are the Dawnbringer Crusades for AoS. GW isn't going to show you things in development for the simple reason that they're likely to change. Does anyone believe the sculptor didn't edit that Angron a million times before declaring it finished?

**blood reaper**

I can't recall anyone calling GW 'awful evil liars' . The most negative comment (which you have extrapolated as being a polemic about GW) is...

""we're super early in development, we'll be sharing you the work in progress!" was always nonsense"

Which you know, you can say is an incorrect claim, but it's not a particularly furious or angry comment (unless Arbitrator does in fact hate the fact the stuff is coming a month or two earlier than expected - but you'd have to ask him)

I can’t reveal my source, but I don’t think they had it first hand. Can only provide what I can provide.

Forge World used to actually show WIP miniatures and many of them went through huge changes - for example, Kor Phaeron was previewed in White Dwarf and looked very, very different to the figure which was released.
