Feel free to enjoy the summer of '16 before checking back. Minimum. We're talking the long game.

Boo! It's almost Christmas! Can't you just lie or something!?

BOLS, when are Rubrics coming?

Disregard the fact that it's already December and that there's no such day as Nov 31.

I'm sorry I just had to

I've got to ask since youve got the inside information, can you shed any light on how and why the decisions are made as to what armies get updated and when? I don't mean it in the "my army gets screwed" way, I'm genuinely curious. It seems arbitrary, but surely they have good reasons for the decisions.

Sorry. I have no insights on the "why".

I only get glimpses of things already in the pipeline.

Thats too bad, but thanks anyway. It will remain a mystery to us all.

Actually, I am a SoB player no more. I still own an army, but I just never play it. I do not own the current rulebook, I don't know much about the new codex (I just know they are a massive PITA where when you see some model, you have no idea what their rules are because they get a ton of terrible stupid rules that comes out of formation non-sense).
I am a TROLLBLOOD player now.

Oh please. The old "vocal minority" schtick is about a decade out of date. Just about everyone in this hobby in the western world has a mini pc in their pocket.

Pretty sure the “vocal minority” is not about people with access to the internet, but about people choosing to dedicate time to post messages on forums about their miniatures.

Yes, and the fewer barriers there are, the more inclined people will be to do so. Therefore the easier the access to the Internet is, the more representative the vocal "minority" becomes.

I also think we need a name for the law that the longer an Internet thread about non-specific future 40K releases continues, the chance that SoB players will make it all about them approaches 1.

Make sure the equation includes the duration it takes to arrive at the inevitable "bewbplate" discussion, as well.

Did someone say bewb plate?

At this point, I'm starting to realise that when GW gave Chaos Marines the VotLW upgrade, it's really meant to represent the wait that Chaos players endure before getting an actual codex release.

Why not call it the Sisters law.

Actually I'm not keen on the Sisters of Silence aesthetic. I think the bald top knot thing looks dark eldar or Ork.

I already had my hopes up for a new CSM codex once this year. I've moved on and am using mainly chaos daemons.

Blood Bowl rumour: http://www.war-of-sigmar.com/bloggings/387

Edit with content from link:

Today i heard rumors that Specialist games are going to release, Blood Bowl.
A reliable source told me about BB re release

2nd quarter 2016, i guess. Because he told me before the end of the league and we end around june each year

There's no rumour at that link other than "Bloodbowl is coming!"
That's not helpful.

Lady Atia already mentioned what was coming: http://www.war-of-sigmar.com/bloggings/349

rather than what appears to be just a link to BoLS

Age of Sigmar terrain boards are almost certain. For the first time in a while, I went to my GW store today (they're not anywhere close to where I work or live, so it's rare), and I saw this on display:



They are definitely plastic, and they seem pretty nice. It does say SIGMAR on the lava bridge... When I asked about it, the GW guys said it came with their stuff to display AoS. They thought surely it would go on sale before Christmas, but no such luck.

Yeah, yeah, we've seen lots of photos of these in the books and online, so it's not really news, sorry But it was cool to see them in person.

Incidentally, humorously, I saw a little 8.5x11 poster that had 3 small boxes with photos across the top with labels that read something like "Assemble", "Paint", "Play" and then a giant thing that filled 2/3 of the page that said "Collect", lol (I may be misremembering the exact words of each title, but it's pretty close to that). Wonder where their minds are?

Dont know if anyone else feels / see's it this way but if they are going to do a CSM overhaul - I'd like to see 6 codex's - one for each of the four powers
including the marines , daemons and cults - one for chaos undivided marines and cults and one stand alone codex for the Alpha legion with marines,
allies, agents and the possibility of some xenos / strange equipment.
I'm not a csm player, but for anyone who reads any of the Horus Heresy novels I think some might agree that the legacy of the Alpha legion has
a real scope for some more abstract possibilities.

GW - if your reading pay attention - free ideas here!

I'm just going to leave something here, but while I definitely don't want to be a rumor-guy, I did think it worth sharing something I heard repeated a few times today in circles that might know (the same folks who mentioned how multi-wound monster multi-profiles would work in Age of Sigmar well before we knew what that game was actually like... so I give them some credence).

Apparently "something" nasty is brewing involving 40k and reps are beginning to try to hype up bigger retail stores regarding it (or rather they are starting by talking to high-volume stores).

All I gleaned was that it isn't a new edition, it isn't a new army, and when sarcastically pressed about all the things players would actually want (IE better pricing, etc...) I was ensured it wasn't any of those things.

Whatever it is, it is supposed to be very big, however, and should be discussed by the end of January.

Switching to square bases so the models can be moved around on trays easier. It'll make apocalypse games go faster removing squads by trays.

Well, at this point I'm not sure I could be less interested in playing 40K, so from a purely personal standpoint, it can't be any worse!

Plastic Thunderhawk confirmed!

That wouldn't qualify as "nasty" would it?

Would help to know if this were a crunch thing or a fluff thing (I've a big campaign or something.)

40k endtimes?

I didn't see this posted elsewhere so I'm dropping it here. A bunch of "battalion" style boxed sets are going to be up for sale. Some are better value than others but basically you get a free HQ for the price.

From Facebook.

Hmmm, I kinda want the Space Marine one for that SFU Terminator Captain, but I will just watch for him to show up on eBay. I don't need another Tactical Squad, and definitely don't need/want another Dreadnought.

Ooh, now *that's* a rumour! What could it be? A change in the trade terms? Boring but potentially nasty, and i could see them needing to hype their bigger customers to get on board with it. Another idea i can think of involves this game i found once on the net, where it was a ttmg but the game mechanics/resolution was handled by a computer, and when you bought your minis you had to 'register' them with the official company website to get them to be playable in your individual army/software. It's a lot of a stretch, but that would be nasty if they brought that to 40k. Bring on january, this could prove interesting.
