.....lame, so very, very lame.
Time to go work on that re-order for Warmachine, Bolt Action, FOW, and Xwing. You know, products from manufacturers that help us to sell things.
....and lo!.....The Age of Sigmar came to an end when Saint Veetock and his hamster legions smote the false Sigmar and destroyed the bubbleverse and lead the true believers back to the Old World.
White dwarf 14 has nothing about 7th.
All about wood elves, and a couple of titan pics.
Its hard to be awesome, when your playing with little plastic men. Welcome to Fantasy 40k
If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.
Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

Supposedly, white dwarf. Of course, other people are saying there is no 7th in WD.

I don't think jdicarlo stated where the info was coming from.
He did by PM.

Not in this week's anyway...it's entirely possible he's looking at an advance copy of next week's issue....
Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do

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. I do wish squats would come back, it would be sweet to have space dwarves again.
Uriels_Flame wrote: Stupid is as Stupid does, and those "expansions" were dumb and added nothing to the fluff.
So, actually telling the story of the necrons, rather than imperial conjecture, was "dumb" and added nothing to the fluff? Have you even read either of the Necron books?
Yes, I've read both editions of the necrons. They were my 2nd army ever with their cute little WD list back in the day. Also played in 3rd and I actually thought the Pariah fluff was excellent. Re-tool them, vs scrapping the idea.
Souless transient beings fighting the old ones/eldar, Star Gods and the Dragon on Mars - all good stuff.
Now they are even more like TK in Space, though their chariots are much more effective than their TK versions.
No madam, 40,000 is the year that this game is set in. Not how much it costs. Though you may have a point. - GW Fulchester The Gatling Guns have flamethrowers on them because this is 40k - DOW III
And yet most other codexes were updated twice while DE were waiting for their update...
Than you should be among the people rejoicing at how GW changed their release schedule these days, abandoning the lazy and incoherent ways of the Rick Priestley & Alessio Cavatore times, no?

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.
Some people just really want an argument, huh?
It is only really an issue for people who think that a 21st century £100 million international corporation ought to be able to put out a better video than the "Sitar Tandoori Restaurant" in the local advertising trailers at your local cinema in the 1970s.

Psychic phase? Well I'm kinda open to that.
Currently most psychic disciplines arent worth gak except divination and telekinesis.
Yeah, telepathy and biomancy suck... no wait, they don't.

Seriously, how small of a marketing budget does GW have? I can understand the teaser not being chock full of information, but seriously they just used the fething poster? Hell they put more effort into the bloody knights trailer than this.
Everything I say, barring quotes and researched information, is my personal opinion. Not fact.

Officially they don't have a marketing department, so the videos are likely made in someone's "free time."

You'll feel quite the fool come May 24th and you get your hands on Codex: Posters of the 41st Millennium and you realize it was a perfect teaser trailer.

Now, now. In their defense. That was just an addition to the existing rules and it could only boost sales.
This has a potential to be a wholesale slaughter of the existing paradigm and could cause people to stop buying stuff if they knew that their purchases would be worthless. Gotta keep selling that stuff until the 11th hour!
( I edited your post for language, but attempted to keep the tone.)
Edit: I had no idea that the language filters changed the spiritual successor word for "feth" into the actual word "feth". That's pretty cool. I no longer have to filter myself. YAY!

The FoC chart is still in the new 40k edition and if you follow it you have what is known as a "Battle Forged" army. It awards (unlisted) bonuses for using the FoC.You can also take a unbound army, these allow you to take whatever you want from your collection and toss out the FoC (while still adhering to unit size and heeding the relationships described in the new Allies Matrix.
Another thing is objective cards, so the objectives of the game can change each turn. The deck will be 36 cards.
There is also a physic phase confirmed now. A pool of warp charge dice is created at the start of the psychic phase, equal to 1d6 + mastery lvl of psychers. You can use as many dice as you like, but increase risk of perils of the warp (which is now a table you roll on.) Enemy psychers can draw on warp charge pool to Deny the Witch and nulify powers.
Also Eternal warrior missions still exist but in addition there are 6 new Maelstrom of War Missions.

Additional information that a Battle Forged list can take as many detachments as they wish, and still get bonus's.. The Unbound lists, is very much whatever you want to throw in to do a battle, and you get to choose which you want to play, and your opponent can do the same.

So looks like the Battle Forged stuff is true. So bonuses for following FOC but an option allowing you to basically go hogwild and run whatever, without the bonuses. Interesting.
You know, these two different FOCs might explain why we're hearing "%" and "no change to FOC", each only got half the info.
I'm definitely getting a set of those cards because knowing GW they'll be a limited release and you'll have to make your own otherwise.

so if we believe this, we get fantasy magic phase,
aaaand unlimited detachments in the FOC, so sorc +2 cultist + 3 drakes x however many points you can jam it in?
eep thats risky business....
EDIT: with those cards, i hope 1 deck per game, not 1 per player.....
