This new map is interesting. The Imperium Nihlus above the warp storm line that divides the galaxy hints that Terra and rest of the Imperium probably lost all communication with that part of the galaxy ( since warp storms also cut all communication between worlds ). So yeah... Blood Angels are in deep... good thing they have almost all of their successor Chapters with them.

One more thing I noticed - Eye of Terror grew to a large proportion as well. With that said and seen now can we assume that Iron Hands lost their homesystem and became fleet based Chapter now?

It is possible that their homeworld has been shuffled around a little. Several other locations have been moved a bit.

I am hopeful and excited by this new rule set.

And for once I am in a quandary about the (rumoured) Nurgle vs SM starter set. Tempted to keep those cheeky Nurgle boys to seed a new Black Legion force!

Also wondering if I can build a fluffy Aeldari army? And can I justifyNuMarines in my ''only starter set models'' Lamented force??

Following this with great interest! I have certainly stopped stock piling models for Other Games while saving for this.

It's kind of hard to shuffle a system you have been stating that it's so close to the Eye of Terror that V'th planet of the system was lost to it some time ago ( Medusa Campaign ).

Only if GW decided to change that and declare entire campaign non-canon. But I doubt they will do that.

edit: I also noticed that Rock is literally next to the Prospero.

Future Campaign anyone?

Me too. This kind of post would have been absolutely unthinkable a couple of years ago, in fact there wouldn't have been any post at all.

Definitely feels like a change of character by GW in terms of how it engages with fans, and I think 100% improvement for the better.

In theory nurgle is great for a new starter kit, because they won't excessively challenge someone new to the hobby. Just paint them green/brown and slap washes/rust colors and stuff and base and you're done. Don't have to be neat about it either since Nurgle stuff tends to look messed up anyways.

To this day i've still never been able to get into 40k because I can't stand the bloated ruleset. I'll be watching this carefully, but I feel like they still might not dumb it down enough for me..lol. I can play Blood Bowl, X wing, SW armada etc but 40k...just loses me. Maybe I just do better with boardgames as opposed to true tabletop wargaming.

I'm sure Yodrin will be thrilled at that!

Oh yes, ecstatic

Eh, frankly I've found it hard to give a gak about the Iron Hands since GW neutered them and turned them into BEEP-BOOP That is illogical, Jim Codex-adherent robo-Vulcans, but hey, I can't wait to see which other factions and characters and locations I like have been blown up or changed beyond all recognition. Yay, storyline advancement!

A quick summation of his feelings and we'll quickly move on I'm sure.

Where are the eldars on that map?

Did you ever see Highlander II?

Nonsense Yod. That'd never happen. Plus there are no tanks in Baghdad.

Anyone else see GW's latest email concerning the codecies they acknowledge will be outdated? Selling at full price no less...

"This is your last chance" Too right you cheeky fethers!

I have not.

Are they doing some form of reimbursement like they've done in the past (last time they did this certainly was with 6th-7th ed. WHFB) where if you bought the old starter box after a certain date you got X amount off of the next edition's rulebook?

I mean, you could ask for a discount on a free rulebook, but... ;-)

Ah, yes... forgot about that.

That was just the example. Maybe in this case it would be the starter box.

I believe you'd be very lucky. I'd purchased the Big Rule Book for 7th about 2, maybe 3 months before they scrapped it and released the edited 7.1. GW flat-out refused to reimburse even though the shop had said it'll be current for a few years. I stopped playing after that.

To be fair, it does say they won't be compatible:


Edit: The Dark Eldar one went out of stock over a week ago.

Laffo - I can't believe they're not at least discounting the codexes. I remember picking up a pile of 2E ones for less than a tenner just before the shift to 3E.

Forgeworld doing the same





Bundles are discounted. Individual books aren't

Sorry, I didn't mean from a customer service standpoint. Back when, GW used to put big yellow stickers on the rulebooks/2 player boxes when a new edition was imminent saying just that and if you bought them in that time period and brought your receipt back into the store on release of the new edition you would get money off the new rulebook.

The last time they certainly did this was the switch between 6th-7th ed WHFB, I cannot remember them doing this recently, but you never know with NuGW...

So IA books are going to fade too? So GW and FW are on the same page this time. Interesting.

I heard if you have ever bought any codex from an edition you can get the new core rules for free.

Agreed. it seems minor, but the tone of the FAQ is more what you'd expect from members of the community, then "corp speak" which is good as it suggests the right people are in charge of communications

Right, asking questions now. I will resist the urge to ask about Fires of Cyraxus.

Edit: Nope, couldn't do it.

My question is quite tame - will the Adeptus Mechanicus be rolled up into a single army?

Would make my life so much easier!
