Did they ever confirm 2013?

...Not cool, man.

Hilarious, but not cool .

Let's just say that I would not be surprised.

Digital has had a page for a few months.

Whats it called? Games Workshop Digital?

Right, and that's what I meant with "sometimes".

There is such a thing as being too optimistic, though. And that's a dangerous road. Moderation is key to calmness.

Maybe, but there's nothing wrong with taking a different viewpoint. I'm of the opinion that there is a good base of evidence indicating that thing'll come good for us, just a matter of waiting a bit longer.

Games Workshop: Digital Editions - https://www.facebook.com/GamesWorkshopDigitalEditions

They never confirmed this century either Petre.

Best_gts, where did you find this ? I went through all the recent post and all their comments on your link and I couldn't find it. Yes, I'm as hysterical as I sound .

Don't worry guys, it's 2013. Oh, wait, using the Arab/Persian calendar !

Kinda strange they would update it so 'people can begin a collection' when there's essential models like Seraphim Superiors still missing from the webstore.

I'd talk to the nids first before complaining about models not existing. Half their codex that is rumored to be redone is still missing models.

Hehe. Trading one fetish for another, huh? Not sure if that'd be worse or just equally crap as Blanche forcing his weird fetishes on any woman he draws

Also, his art is awesome

His art is the worst art of any of the official 40k artists. No exceptions-- no artist that GW employs is a worse artist than he. I've seen plenty of freaking fanart that's better than his art in every single way. I hesitate to even call what he draws art.

Thanks for bringing that back up. We'd managed to move past it...

Not my fault that the thread had been so busy since I last posted

Regardless, I suppose we'll see if GW lives up to the hype this month, for however little the hype is worth. At least it means new players will be able to actually find an official copy of the codex without scavenging through ebay.

Looks like existing material. Not new codexes for 6th ed.

Yeah, you missed the information that was from Gamesday UK then. Cruddace said that they looked into making the Faith System scale with the army, and that there were minor point tweaks.

We can probably count on relics too since those are a staple of 6th.

Even the original description says that it's more than just a reprint. Apart from the addition of warlord traits, it says that rules, background and photography have been updated.

Well, it's not my fault if you have bad taste in art. You probably think Bosch and Grünewald were crap as well. But carry on.

I like Blanche's art. Perhaps one simply shouldn't take everything he drew as serious and accurate, but rather an idea, a warped reflection of 40k's theme and soul.

Just like some of the written stuff.

[edit] People do need to stop posting that 2E Codex cover, though. If only because so many fans fail to understand the above.

pretre if you could remind us exactly how long it's been since the first rumors of plastic Sisters again? Have we hit two decades yet?

Anybody know why you can't preorder it?

Because only full releases (like the Dark Elves) are the things that get preorders.

Rather, imho, because it makes no sense to preorder some digital release. The whole point of preordering is being sure not to wait if your local reseller become out of stock. Digital release never go out of stock. I may be wrong, but I don't think GW ever proposed preorder for digital releases.

at least 12 years.

Arigato. So we're rolling right along here. At some point it's alright to develop a dark, sarcastic, bitter sense of humor with your fellow tovarich in the gulag of GW's spite.

And if I could remind you that I already adressed that by pointing out that the developers have consistently said that they've had modelling issues, until just recently?

OK, all I have is an I Phone, what do I need to download the new codex? Break it down for me, cause I clueless when it comes to technology.

iPhone can't do iBooks.

If it gets released as an .epub file though (which I think the rumors are saying) you should be able to add it via iTunes.

Great News!

Limited release eBooks, downloads will stop after they hit 1000 copies!

Until they restock the bits.

Was the issue they hadn't made any?

If someone kept telling you they would mail the check tomorrow after a decade would you still believe them?
