They certainly have their bases covered here.....

It's pretty common from what I've seen.

Multimillion £ company completely normal behaviour or did I miss something also.

I am... ...cautiously optimistic. A new and old Imperium could really work, if some thought was put into the new one. Very cautious however, since all we've seen so far is "Bigger Marines".

Yeah, I've been getting more and more excited. Can't wait to see what the starter set holds!

So the codices and supplements will be discontinued after 7th.

Where do all the 30k books fit into all this? Has that been mentioned yet? Are they stopping the 30k series?

The faq says this:

**A few of you might be wondering how the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 affects Forge World’s Horus Heresy rules and army lists. Well, for the moment, it won’t! You can carry on using the existing Warhammer 40,000 ruleset for your Horus Heresy games.

So... there's that

If you bothered to read either the FAQ or the last 24 pages of this thread you'd already know that they said 'no changes to 30k as of yet'.

Personally, I'm not buying anything and will be painting things I've built rather than assembling new characters, between now and the new edition drop.

Pretty much the same here. I have a Terminator squad and some Custodes built and base coated that I'll be finishing off. Once there done the only 40/30k stuff I'm gonna touch until 8th is terrain.

Lucky they just released a load of terrain then... almost like it was the plan! Noooo, couldn't be ;-)

I started reading the 25 pages but got tired of seeing this kind of rude response to someones question.

Not sure what rude responses have to do with reading the website.

Yeah, I'd forgive not wanting to read through 24 pages. Not bothering to read the document and other material that prompted the creation of the thread however...

While true, the offense of not reading the website doesn't exactly mandate someone being a bit snippy.

All Erjak had to do was say "They answered this question in the FAQ" and it would be a nonissue.

Have they mentioned if this is going to impact 30k at all?

Not for the time being. We will see what they'll do.

Yeah that did cross my mind and there's probably some truth to it. Announcing a new edition this far in advance with changes substantial enough to invalidate the existing codex books helps to builds hype but its gonna cause a drop in sales. Releasing some really nice terrain kits in the waiting period could help to soften the blow to there sales somewhat.

There's still a LOT of people who are talking about things OTHER than the upcoming version of Warhammer 40k. I've been handing out warnings like candy.

If this doesn't stop, we'll lock the thread and deal with individual offenders.

And those of you on high horses, this is a game of toy soldiers. Save it for the OT Forum.

-=Edit=- I just worked through about ten moderator alerts. I assure you, we are keeping an eye on this thread and dealing with posts privately.

Well this all sounds pretty terrible. Glad we have geedub's permission for the time being to keep playing 30k until they can get around to dousing that in gasoline.


It must feel great to have just picked up the deathwatch or genestealer cults or traitor legions books.

you really think that bad balancing and "we write rules because they sound cool" is gone?

Exactly, it's as if some forget that the very people responsible for the bloat and neglect of the ruleset are the ones in charge of raising this new edition. At this point 30k is all I got left and if jervis and the rest of the bien pasant come for that, oh boy, I'll be a hot little potatoe.

Maybe this new edition will have terrain rules lol... it won't

has anyone seen this, this is supposedly the new galactic map for 8th edition

but i don't see it mentioned anywhere else?

Try going back a few pages?

Couple pages back it's posted.

So if were going Interstellar now with this new map

new races? new xeno scum

Interstellar? What?

" There will be more on this new interstellar feature in the coming days."

It's a map of the galaxy, they're being (sort of) funny. Don't get excited.

Looks like Chaos canonically won the Jericho Reach. It's the sector of space located by the Hadex Anomaly.

Is it just me or did the Tau Empire grow a lot? Usually it's depicted as a dot and not with a defined territorial area. Or they could just be defining its borders better and its the same size.

Looks like the rumors for a June release is probably correct then.

I wouldn't count Jericho out yet, it's GW afterall, moving it a few hundred billion lightyears to the south isn't above them, especially seeing as this map IS different in scale and placement of other planets.

It's still quite small, the hexagon that defines the Empire is smaller than the entirety of the Ultramarines' domain.

Also surrounded by Necrons on one side and by a giant Warp Rift on another... things aren't looking too crash hot for the Tau.
They might actually have to fight for real now.

So, the black hole at the center of the galaxy is in the warp now?

You know what interstellar means, right?
