They did mention it in an earlier, now deleted, FB message.
Would also be the quickest way to get them out there.

Think about how far this company has come in such a short time: something goes wrong, the customers ask them to fix it, they admit something went wrong, and announce plans to fix it while specifically acknowleding customer feedback. Not long ago, there would have been (a) no venue to address customer concerns, (b) no acknowledment that there is a problem, and (c) nothing at all done.
It's so nice to be able to genuinely like GW again!
Just wait til they relaunch the official forums. Hopefully the more toxic side of the fanbase won't ruin that again.

They don't say the rules will be available online. What they actually said was...
"We will be making the rules for this game are more widely available, very soon."
"We’ll bring you news on exactly how and when you’ll be able to get ahold of the rules outside of the box, and the new factions, just as soon as we can."
"So, whether it’s the rules for the game or the scenery you’re after, you will be able to get your hands on it."
"More news soon."
Sounds to me like they're trying to work out a plan. Throwing the rules up on WarhammerDigital would make a ton of sense and is probably the easiest option. Making a physical book would require some work and printing. If nothing else, the book in the big box doesn't have a barcode, so would need a new back cover before being ready for solo retail.

It's probably a safe bet that the rules will end up on the Black Library site as an ePub and as an enhanced iBook for a little bit more money. Just like the Kill Team rules. I'm going to guess the price will be higher than Kill Team as the book has four times the page count.

Balance in pick up games? Two people, each with their own goals for the game, design half a board game on their own without knowing the layout of the board and hope it all works out. Good luck with that. The faster you can find like minded individuals who want the same things from the game as you, the better. |

What happy news! Now the only bummer (still a valid bummer) is people who wanted the moneysaving box set, red templates and counters, but at least they wont be frozen out completely and there's decent life in the game if the rules are going to be available separately and more factions are being added. Yay

'Online' by itself could be like the PDF for the different factions. 'Digital' or 'Online as an e-book' would be an epub, etc.

Ah. Gotcha.
It'll be interesting to see what they end up doing. It looks like most factions will be able to field a team for about $50. It'll be insane, but standard GW operating policy, if the rule aren't SIGNIFICANTLY below that.
Also, I tried to shorten Shadow War Armageddon down to SWA, but that clearly means Star Wars Armada in the table top miniatures world. First world problems.

This is definitely good news. I just hope that if they do a digital release they give us an option for a pdf. GW's new rules ebooks format (aka Kill Team) is terrible , I can't read it on my Kindle, it doesn't work well on my my phone, and out of 7 or 8 ebook readers on my computer none of them format it correctly. Not to mention no option to print.

I wouldn't say this is significant, quite the opposite in fact.
It says the exact same thing it did Saturday, just with some pictures and a few more words! Its not even very well written, seems rather rushed, and considering its several days after the event, I was expecting a much better, and more concise response, being that they waited until half way through the week to repeat what they said on facebook Saturday.
The only real additional thing is the part about extra factions. But even then , that was kinda a given, considering they hinted at white dwarf printing them over the next few months anyway.
Oh well, looks like I will be sticking to my older, free GW rule sets, and spending my cash on other things.

The artwork depicts Lieutenant Tyna Ulanti of the Necromunda XXXVIth, aka – the Hell-Hive Tigers and yes, that's new artwork. Or at least not one I've ever seen before.

Yeah - and pretty much a no brainer seeing as how many of the Kill Team bundles are currently OOS ... Hold up, that doesn't look like GW's site!  I've heard of hair like a rat nest but hair like a servo-sull nest? Incorrect. On Saturday, the message was that they would sell a digital version. Today's message is that the rules will be available again - format undisclosed. Furthermore, there was no mention on Saturday of making more lists available. LOL do you think the employees were just sitting around villainously twirling their moustaches? First, they have their regular work to do beyond damage control for the weekend feeding frenzy. Second, it's not just a matter of snapping one's fingers and the perfect solution - whatever that may be - magically appears. Third, after reaching a decision on how to try to solve this they still need to see if that is logistically feasible. A response within three workdays, vague though it may be, is a huge step in the right direction for a company that only shortly before barely acknowledged the existence of the humans buying their products.

Eh the rules are pretty simple and also very well tested at this point. The core is pretty stable. I'd like to see it expanded via "battletomes" or maybe Annuals collecting WD content.  Bull0 wrote:And I've made up my mind, I-i'm, keepin' my bolter
