I meant what day ?

Oh, Saturdays officially, but there seems to be people with copies in hand as early as Tues/Weds quite commonly.

I can make better videos than that, GW. As much as I try to remain optimistic it does feel like an abusive relationship.

The same day shops get their copies shipped to them.

2 new Force Organizations. ("Battle-Forged" or foc And "Unbound" take whatever) battle forge gives bonuses. New Missions using tactics cards in addition to our current Eternal War Missions, a new "Psychic Phase" of the game, and the full article next week.

How does GW cheaping out on videos feel like an abusive relationship? They've been making these vague teaser videos for a couple years now.

Psychic phase? Well I'm kinda open to that.

Currently most psychic disciplines arent worth gak except divination and telekinesis.

Is this from the white dwarf?

Well, we brought back running and Overwatch (albeit in new forms) from 2nd edition, might as well bring back Strategy Cards and the psychic phase while we're at it.

It's like we're going full-circle. If that means I get back Boarboyz, insane artillery, Madboyz, and other zany stuff for my Orks, I'm game.

Some people just really want an argument, huh?

I hope, hope, hope that the mission cards and psychic phase are true. The magic system in fantasy is one of its most interesting components. I just hope they make more trees viable besides just divination.

Battle Forged = something roughly balanced for pick up/competitive play, Unbound = forge the feth out of that narrative?

That would actually be really useful.

Events could say 'Battle forged lists only"

Why do people type like they are being held hostage and have managed to make it to a key board to type 1 desperate message?!?! You managed that much, could you elaborate a little?

edit:
That's not directed at anyone, more of a general question.

Fantasy-esque Psyker powers would nerf hard most of the Stars. I like that idea!

I guess if true "Unbound" would allow for things like all Terminators, but still.. that's their idea of balance?? It's like how could you mess things up even more? At least if they do this maybe they'll TRY to balance the armies, since you have Unbound for unbalanced take whatever you want.

It is a good step though because it allows us to separate the two types of lists using the main rulebook. That's good, if true.

Pariahs were removed, that's the only real retcon. Removing one bad unit from a codex is not the same thing as removing an entire army because they were too silly for the new direction 40k was going.

A direction that included "Sly Marbo," bugs becoming even more of a lame basic sci-fi trope, Necrons suddenly talking it up and palling with Space Marines, and so many more examples... Right, not to mention Ciaphis Cain. Yeah, they were totally "too silly."

The only "silly" thing about them was their version of Terminators being kind of egg-shaped, but you could easily fix that aesthetic. And if the name was bad, you just change it and say "Squats" was a term the Imperium used to refer to them in a degrading manner, and they really call themselves something else. But come on, we still have Ratlings, is that really better?

Typing from mobile so calm down. New psychic discipline available to everyone but nids(lol). Psychic phase sounds a lot like fantasy.

Poor, poor nids. No rulebook love for filthy Xenos.

Phew! I thought the kidnappers had retaken you! LOL!

I'd accept Battle Brothers being removed if they reworked the Allies table so that each army has roughly the same amount of Allies of Convenience, Desperate Allies and banned alliances. Otherwise Dark Eldar become almost as anti-social as Tyranids.

I got a feeling unbound will be all your nonsense lists like countless flyers and bunch of bizarre multiple heavy's or something that feels like somebody is "trying" something out.

The structured might be a way of introducing the concept of % by unit type for composition similar to WH Fantasy which would be quite nice, then again... I don't have too many games under my belt but when somebody does not bring many troops as you start playing with them you question what are they playing for ...

New allies matrix, new card based missions sound really fun ( not sure how they would translate to events though) multiple in play per turn/game provide points at end of turn.

Not having seen all the rumors of an upcoming new Rule Book, I would have been convinced this poster was a teaser for an Imperial Guard supplement.
In fact, not having known that GW pulled back current 6th edition books from their store, I would be really convinced it was a IG supplement.

@jdicarlo: You're on smartphone, get us some pics!

I don't see much new in the OP so I'm guessing we're still waiting to hear more... but if it really is $100 and similar rules to now, I'll definitely be waiting for the small paperback, instead.

Man, a Psychic Phase would totally rock!

...no wait, I'd be sitting around doing nothing during the entire phase. Great! Sounds like fun.

What if it uses a "6 dice spell" for each discipline to counter Death Stars as their other game did? Good? Bad?
