re:new edition, part of me wonders if GW saw the response to the rumor and decided to scale back their plans from it

Not a chance.

New Editions are big things for GW - lots of stock being produced; a new book being ordered; new box material; marketing material; videos; etc.... a lot of which is already well and rolling before the marketing begins.

So honestly I'd be shocked if they cancelled it. It would be a huge investment basically lost.

A few people complaining on the internet changing GW's plan? No chance. We don't even know what a new version of HH would entail to be responsive to it yet.

Heck even a global pandemic didn't stop an edition

Maybe they are simply waiting for a moment in the GW release schedule to open up.

There's a lot of 40k coming out now... I bet that once most of the major releases are out, 30k will hit the shelves.

Can’t cancel what doesn’t exist.

Sure you can, its probably the best reason to cancel something.
In this case it would be confusing though.

I feel like this train of thought is going to derail into a conversation that would fit into a David Tennant Doctor Who episode.

Hoping that you're right Doc. And for a nice FAQ instead of a "new edition".

Well, the week of 0 preorders feels like something has shifted behind the scenes and the absence of HH recently kinda suggests it might be it?

Apparently we are to speculate about a reveal for next Sunday?

Or we could let this thread lie and not post again until there's actual news?

News and rumours, rumour is there's a 3rd ed coming and we expected to see it by now, but it largely been quiet. Then there's a gap in the release schedule after multiple weeks of no heresy Thursday.

Seems to fit the purpose of the thread tbh.
