No new models. Codex release is down to nothing. Good for orkies but this is taking too long anyways.

Where are the sisters of battle...where is ynnari? Where is codex space marines 2.0? Why a new mini game/ board game ever week but no new models?

Come on GW. It's almost like you don't want my money.

Think about we GSC players...1 year and half of gakky rules and NO CODEX ON SIGHT! I've entirely stopped my 40k purchases since the meta is SOOO STALE

We have new Ork models that go on pre-order in the next 24 hours or so, we just got two new character models in Wake the Dead and Tooth and Claw did a rework on the Abberants and added a character to the Genestealer cult.

What are you talking about "no new models"?

It's good that GW is finally slowing down because the game is finished. Keeping up the early-edition pace of releases means having to throw out more low-quality rules bloat for the sake of having more releases on the calendar. And why would you want to have that?

So finished that 4+ armies are still lacking a Codex and are playing demo rules from few years ago

AOS agrees.

Nope.

It's because they have to maneuver through various systems of releases right now.

You mean the indexes that were only released a year and some months ago?

Yes I agree. To an extent I'm happy that things are slowing down. There was a point where I was shelling out for this for my armies every 2 weeks. Now things are nearly done and we can hopefully simmer down to a kit or two a month would be ideal. Barring major releases like sisters

I'd be happy for a little slowdown. My wallet needs rest already.

Wow, seriously, complaining about no new releases?

Ok, fine, if you only play 40k and you only play 2-3 armies, probably you have only received a new codex and nothing else in the past 1 and a half year.
But that does not mean we haven't had new things for 40k.

I'm very eager to the Warhammer Wekeender this 9th of November. I'm more excited for it that for Blizzcon.

It's getting closer to 2 years now and this is kinda different than previous editions. Yea you might of had an old codex but at least you had a completed book (for the most part). Orks, GSC, Sisters, Inquisition, Assassins and Ynarri have a lot less options, depth and GW dragging there feet after the previous break neck speed is probably aggravating to players who enjoy those armies. That's not even touching the metric mess that is FW right now and how some of those armies have really been left to rot.

As for no new models, I kinda agree. Space Marines got the Primaris and we saw death guard get a fairly comprehensive release. Other than that this edition has pretty much been new knights, and maybe a mono pose clam pack when your book came out. There are so many kits that could use a refresh and a lot of factions that haven't got anything in a while.

You mean orks, which are the next release and likely very soon? I don't care about the not-really-a-faction armies that shouldn't even exist, they're perfect examples of why maintaining a fast release schedule is bad.

Yeah, a slow down is very welcome. It was hard to keep up with all the changes. I'd like a bit of a cool down period for everyone to adjust. Keep up the FAQS and CA, but new releases (for rules at least) need to slow WAY down.
How about we catch up on currently Finecast models that need plastics and Factions without a Codex in 2019?

I certainly remember the Dark ages when there were months between releases and a Codex could stagnate for YEARS, but rapid-fire releases have draw backs too.
There are more speeds than "race track" and "school zone" and GW really needs to hit the balance in between now that they've all but updated every faction including new ones.

-

Personally I hope they don't put the brakes on just yet; just shift gear to AoS - Sigmar has a lot of legacy issues at present from its choppy start. A lot of factions are still shattered into bits that are all but useless outside of alliances. So those need adjusting to either full armies, putting together into allied groups or otherwise setting aside as mercenary factions only (And to be clearly shown as such on the GW store front).

Several armies also need updated Battletomes in line with how they are building and balancing the game now; mostly the early ones like Overlords, Fyreslayers and Slyvannath.


So there's loads of work so a year of AoS quickfire Battletome releases would be most welcome

I'd like to see full steam ahead with some more terrain. Perhaps some form of modular hill system. Or at least some form of ruins for every faction.

AOS agrees ... that there are many factions / sub-lists that dont' have a proper book yet.

OHH MY GOD! IT'S BEEN A MONTH SINCE A NEW RELEASE! WHATEVER SHALL WE DO!

remember the days before 6th edition guys?

If by closer to 2 years you mean 1 year and 4 months as of literally yesterday. Ain't close at all.

Orks are getting a boatload of new kits in the next few weeks, a new codex, both of which were already announced and previewed (or being previewed). Sisters are getting an entire plastic range. Ynarri are competitively amazing, and received their kits just before 8th. Same with Inquisition, but neither it nor Assassins are important in any way.

So far since Dark Imperium went up for preorder, we've had massive new launches for Primaris and Death Guard that spanned months, big releases for Knights and Custodes, Orks coming with their own massive release, and terrain kits back in the early part of the year to round it all out - all just for 40k. That's not including massive releases for AoS and a veritable fethton of specialist game releases that continue to this day.

If you're bored with the current GW release schedule, then maybe you have to take a look at why your tastes are so limited and if wargaming in this ecosystem is really where you should spend your hobby time and dollars.

I've loved the Terrain GW has put out, even if it is a bit pricey and kill team is amazing.

What has me kinda meh I guess isn't so much the volume of what is released so much as GW's design push towards increasingly sameness with a lot of the releases, particularly with characters. Take my main army, Space Marines

Compared to the older marine characters, who had so many options and potential for making unique minis via kit bashing, the newer clam packs are just kinda meh. Most of them don't even have options, it's just here is your Librarian, he has a sword and a bolt pistol. Want to take any upgrades or maybe build him a different way, to bad. I feel like more and more flavor is being lost which is a shame cause things like pistol, melee and combi weapons are finally decent to good again.

By "no new models" he means "no new Space Marine models".

Tooth & Claw and Wake The Dead each had one new Space Marine model even!

...Damn, you're absolutely right. Xeno's just a troll, I guess.

I don't get how anyone could be bored, how many games against how many different kinds of armies does one have time to get in over the course of a couple of months...? If this were a videogame where each match was 15-20 minutes and typical players were playing a dozen games a week, ok, but when your average player is only getting in a couple of games a month, and only the most active are getting in 2-3 games a week, it's hard to get bored too quickly just because new release slowed over a couple of months. It's not like the days of 4E or 5E where we'd get one or two releases a year and thats it.

Also, since when were we expecting a Space Marine 2.0 codex? Is this new?

There are semi-reliable rumours that Primaris Wave 2 isn't far off. It's not too far fetched based on previous editions to suspect that may mean a new version of the Codex.

It's far from confirmed though.

I don't think he's bored with the game itself. I know I'm not between kill team and normal 40k I'm having a ton of fun playing. I relate though to not feeling a lot of models that GW has put out. I have all the space marines I could ever want or need and for various reasons don't like Primaris Marines. I just finished up my Cadian army this year and GW has squatted most of the other IG lines I'd be interested in.

I have a moderate Ad Mech army that I might flesh out a bit more, and was working on a decent sized Inquisition squad before GW blew them up. I had wanted to get a grey knights army but I'm not spending money for the games current worse army.

The other two armies I would want to collect are Chaos space Marines, but a lot of those kits are ancient and haven't aged well, so that has me on the fence. The other is Sisters which is a year away.

Most of my purchases have been terrain because most of what GW has released lately is either new marines or even bigger knights which I have no interest in. My friends all play xenos armies so if I want to get a game in as Eldar, Tau or Ork, I can just borrow their stuff.

There a rumour going round that GW isn't the only game in town

So bored with people thinking GW exists to cater to their personal whims right now.

Look at it this way;
You know all that time spent analyzing, dissecting, & bitching about this/that/etc new thing? Now you can squeeze in a few games & catch up on whatever's sitting around in your modeling/paint queue.

At least until the Orks arrive.

It just feels so stale - plus nothing to look forward to. Orks are about the only army I don't wish to start ever. Though it's insane they have had to wait this long for rules...Why aren't sisters coming out right after? We've already waited forever for them.

I need new building projects to distract from my painting projects.

Know what I would buy immediately?
Plastic aspect warriors
New gardian kits
new primaris vehical or flyer
new primaris heavy weapons squad
If IG went to a new more modern looking battle tank look for their armor I'd instantly be hooked.
Anything Ynnari I'm in
Sisters - will buy an entire army
New tau units - Instant buy...

Seriously...Am I the only one that's been waiting multiple years of my life to have these things in exchange for my money?
