Except for profit

Guys, let's at least try and keep on "nodding if you pass in the hall" terms with the topic, please?

Easy, fellas.

I for one am looking forward to this new release. I stopped playing 40K as 6th hit and never bought into it, so while I can understand that people are upset that it's only been two years, it's really none of my concern. To me, new releases are almost always welcome.

I can't see myself starting playing again, but I'm dead excited to see the starter set Has there been any rumours other than Blood Angels vs Orks?

A company that does not feel silly with a mixed blob of text seems ok with change for the sake of IP.


They also recycle the Commissar from the IG cover , so we may rejoyce at the absence of peace this Month.
Can't wait to ignore what they have in store.

There was discussion in this thread in the 40k general forum that there is no new box set.

I might play 7th, if it improves substantially on 6th... though a lot of what's wrong atm is due to codex balance, it's unlikely a new edition would fix that much.

I've just tried to visit my local GW to chase any news of this, to see the fabled Commissar poster:

"There is no time for peace"

... Which I found highly misleading, as there is plenty of time for peace: namely after 5 pm (when the shop closes for the day, notwithstanding it's a Saturday), and the two days a week when the shop is completely closed...

.. I'm taking my complaint to the local Trading Standards...

Great! That means you can ignore this thread too!

Hm, "There is no time for peace."

Maybe a clue...

Jeremiah 6:14. (Hm, J 6 14, before June 2014, there will be a revised 6th edition.... half of 14 is 7....7th edition... tinfoil hats, UNITE!)

Context
Israel's Rebellion (gamers?) and God's Wrath (Hm, notice GW in there?)
…13"For from the least of them even to the greatest of them, Everyone (gamers) is greedy for gain (unbroken rules & codexes), And from the prophet (or profit?) even to the priest (Rick Priestly?) Everyone (gamers) deals falsely (plays with broken rules). 14"They (GW) have healed the brokenness (new corrected version of 6th, or new 7th rulebook?) of My people (the gamers) superficially, Saying, 'Peace, peace,' (or rather, no more please, please, just the faqs, no new rulebook after 2 years) But there is no peace (GW wants money). 15"Were they (GW) ashamed because of the abomination they have done? (No) They (GW) were not even ashamed at all; They (GW) did not even know how to blush.

I think maybe you need to fit a breathalyser to your keyboard...

If GW stops using the term 'space marine', I'll consider the new edition worth it just for that. If they manage to change 'space wolves' into something even slightly dignified, I'll be overjoyed.

I think Space Marine is the only english/real sounding term GW will keep. Even Warhammer 40,000 will eventually become Warcorkius fiefardom.

Why will they keep Space Marine? Stubbornness/spite. Spots the Space Marine embarrassed them and they're determined to "prove" they own the term Space Marine. They will never give it up. Maybe GW will sue the Tang Dynasty for using the term Imperial Guard and give the Guard their name back? Who knows.

xD lol!

Its not as crazy as it first sounds when youve seen the 'Book of Mozilla'...

'And the beast shall come forth surrounded by a roiling cloud of vengeance. The house of the unbelievers shall be razed and they shall be scorched to the earth. Their tags shall blink until the end of days.
from The Book of Mozilla, 12:10'

This is a real thing that the mozila team insert into every version of netscape and firefox.
Knowing this, your comment is somewhat not so flying rodent gak crazy xD

If the new rulebook includes the rules for all of the new pieces of 40K fortifications, I might buy one. It's not a big deal for me since I never bought the 6th Edition BRB.

EDIT: *Facepalm* Oops, I spoke too soon. I did buy one of those rulebooks and I haven't used it yet.

And the re-release of Chenkov and send in the next wave...

I'm sorry, but I'm finding joking about a situation where people are actually dying, when we have a Ukranian community here on Dakka, in relation to the release of a game to be in pretty bad taste.

Perhaps its a German thing....

Kroot, that's a little close to the knuckle isn't it?

Bad form, chap.

Yeah, apparently it's far less offensive than orks dressed as Germans from WW2, which seemed to generate no end of complaint from... hmm, one poster...

Couldn't agree more. Poor taste.

Hey, it's GW that find's it appropriate to plaster Europe with "There is no time for peace" posters, when Europe is close to war. I was just pointing it out, while waiting for German hostages to be let free (which they now are). Making the poster in WW2 propaganda style doesn't help.

Europe is not close to war. Russia and Ukraine might be in danger of heading into open conflict.

Don't exaggerate to try and somehow make your statement more sympathetic either. German Hostages? Shame on you.

It was just a bit of gallows humour, in my opinion.

Bad taste, yes, but that type of humour pretty much always is.

So now it's GW's fault you cannot separate reality from fiction?

I see it for what it is, but just like I wouldn't make a joke about a dead celebrity in front of their family, I wouldn't make this sort of comment in an open forum when there are active Ukrainian and Russian members, and I certainly wouldn't try and justify it or abdicate responsibility for it onto a third party when I was called on it.

1.) Russia and Ukraine are part of Europe, look it up.
2.) Baltic urgently states asked for more NATO presence at the Eastern border. Much sabre-rattling on all sides.
3.) German hostages: http://www.thelocal.de/20140503/german-hostages-osce-freed-in-ukraine

.. I was wondering when you would show up Zweischneid.. Dakka's 'Moth Man', drawn to areas of suffering, but no-one knows if it is the catalyst of those events, or just there to nourish itself on the conflict

"There is no time for peace"

Makes me think of the latest Spiderman remake - they were consciously trying hard not to use the same script/phrases from the previous film.

Although, pretty sure that is a line from the original text blurb in Rogue Trader? I will have to check..

1) they're are part of Europe, not "Europe." The last time "Europe" were at war, well, I'm sure you're familiar.
2) and... There's posturing on both sides, what's that got to do with anything, happens all the time, look at N Korea.
3) I wasn't debating that there were German hostages, I was criticising you for using it as a somewhat ham fisted way of trying to deflect perfectly justified criticism of your tone by trying to illicit some sort of national sympathy because some people you likely have never met or even heard of had been taken hostage.

Wow, that went from hilarious Tinfoil-Hat-Party, to political bs with just a single post. Can't we all just unite in a shared hatred of GW? My Nids are doing fantastic as of 6th, so I'd be more keen to see a great trademark caper run-around instead of them adding, subtracting, or dicking the rules as they are now.
