They are probably doing light weeks because of adepticon..... next week? Have stock built up and have some “pre release” sales at adepticon, then have them for the website later.

I just wanted to say that the Nurgle Rotspawn for Bloodbowl is one of the few miniatures I've looked at where I've sworn and appended "...ew" when I first saw it.
Those would come from the GW studio now, not from FW.
We already know they're coming from Forge World in a book named Fires of Cyraxis.
Eventually.

That books been on the back burner/scrapped for ages now, and Games Workshop are now in charge of rules for Forge World stuff for 40k, not Forge World.

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal

Same thing with the plastic Thunderhawk and plastic Sisters of Battle!
i would buy one in a heartbeat. Wait I can't use the latter part in a joke anymore.
I dont know what their problem is with this book. It should have been out last year. I'm holding off buying 30k robots to see how they get incorporated into current maniples.

The information came from people at the last Heresy weekender, in February.
Who did that come from and had they gotten that direct from Tony? I was there at the weekender and the feedback I got was that it was now dead, along with the Talons of the Emperor codex (not IA) that FW was working on and was due next.
I believe the general comment was that the main GW studio are keeping a very tight reign on 40k rules and Forgeworld aren't currently able to produce any new Imperial Armour books. So Fires and Talons are pretty much sunk for now and we're reliant on the main studio to give us rules.

Yeah that was from me...
Edit: Was hoping somebody had managed to nail Tony down on this, as my info was from Anuj and Neil, who by their own admission rely on Tony for approval.

Does this mean that GW Main is in charge of Krieg/Elysian rules?

The suggestion was that GW Main would do all 40k & AoS, and Specialist Games would do the rest (but GW Main seem to be doing the all-plastic games such as Kill Team & Underworlds as well).

From what people like Looky Likey posted on here from the weekender, it seems to be more of a case that FW would still be doing their own rules but with considerably increased oversight/interferance from GW's main studio. Sounds like they got thoroughly fed up with it when working on the Custodes rules last year so Talons, Fires and anything else they might have been working on has been shelved.

In fairness to GW, some of it does also seem to be that FW struggled to keep up with rules in previous editions and with the GW policy having shifted to keep up with FAQ's and the like, FW would otherwise be even further behind.
Malevolence leaks, for those of you who are interested in such things. Super cool new consul types. Definitely gonna have to add a Mortificator to my Grand Company, though I am a little sad that it's not an actual HQ dreadnought.

I wonder if GW's own internal policies of rumour prevention also comes into play. I seem to recall that even something as big as Age of Sigmar was a big surprise for the FW team. So it might be that their delays aren't just their own internal issues, but that they are also kept out of the loop for so long that things get dropped on them suddenly. that might be a really big annoyance if they've just spent resources developing something that is then being shelved because they weren't told about major events/releases/updates coming in a few months time.
That said FW seems to really be in a lot of flux at present; their old AoS design team apparently got closed down and folded into something else within FW before they'd actually released anything save for a handful of AoS alternate heads for Stormcast.
I wonder if GW's own internal policies of rumour prevention also comes into play.
FW mentioned at the Weekender that all FAQ updates, temporary rule releases (such as Sanguinius's rules) all have to go via Warhammer Community now so it wouldn't surprise me if Community is also managing all public release information for FW.

LOLOLOLOL, some guy who writes articles at community added legion torsos to the article. Only to remove them later.
I guess this perfectly illustrates how flawlessly they all communicate
