Nor can the Guard or Sororitas, despite the fact that the Imperialis Militias and Solar Auxillary can use them in 30k. As usual, it's a SPHESS MUHREEN exclusive vehicle in 40k.

Like Guard really needed something like this.

I'd argue for it being available to Sisters though

Marines, Imperial Guard and Squats could use them in Epic, IIRC. Silly to now restrict them to Muhrines!

Coulda shoulda woulda but should have been a plastic kit for all Imperial factions and they’d have sold a whole pile of them!

Honestly they should've just been availble to everyone in the imperium and chaos, it's a cool looking unit that I seriously doubt would shift any sort of balance in the meta. The restriction is only hurting themselves here, I'd buy one if I could actually use it

I could also see the Tempestus Militarum using something like this.

This. It get's tiresome that the SPHESS MUHREENZ gets exclusive access to all of the cool stuff. Throw the rest of us a bone on occasion.

There's a difference between making suggestions and what probably happened. What probably happened is a bunch of whining and a bunch of "I'll never buy your product again" and a bunch of crap like that.

I have no trouble believing people were acting antagonistic and entitled so I understand their thought process. I do however find that particular solution poor, since it conveys no message at all. They should just write a statement where the acknowledge the fact that many people are asking for their army to also get rules for it and say that they've taken that under advisement. Simply deleting messages and offering no retort is a quick way of losing goodwill.

So, customer feedback then. Maybe not feedback they wanted, but isn't nuGW supposed to be all about listening to the fans?

I mean seriously, the fact they couldn't foresee this would annoy people, and the fact they couldn't then muster up two braincells to rub together to say "wait for Cyraxis"(assuming they're not 100% moronic and actually will be giving the Mechanicus access to the Termite in that) or "we'll take what you've said on board and consider some experimental rules for a Mechanicus version" or whatever to defuse the situation, rather than reverting to type and calling in the Negativity Police to delete comments and eventually just deleting the whole thread in a sulk is nobody's fault but theirs. Deleting actual abuse is one thing, but this was not that.

'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

It's going to depend on how much was simple complaints, and how much was stuff that breached facebooks language/behaviour terms.

If it was getting really nasty better to delete totally rather than have facebook getting grumpy with them as the group/page owner for not keeping things 'clean'

Edit: and I've seen enough moaning being left alone on the various new GW facebook pages to think that this was something above and beyond the norm, hopefully they'll give it another try later when fewer trolls might be around

FW need the OK from the HQ for 40k models and rules. So I suppose the HQ have their own opinion about what the AdMech should have or not. And I doubt the Cyraxis book will give them the full Mechanicus love.

Blaming FW on their FB site is just futile. What should they say? 'Yeah, we could, but...'

There's a difference between "listening to the fans" and leaving up a post full of toxic talkback on what's supposed to bea marketing channel, and one with a 'Hey, play nice now!' caveat up front.

If peeps emailed in calmly, great. If everyone nerdrages on a FB post of course they're not going to leave that up!

I can see how them deleting the post rather than leave all the foul language and whining up to fuel the fire.

They should give Admech some love, I would totally buy one for my Metallica, but I have no interest in it for anybody else.

Maybe people think that by <REDACTED> FW to death and making them delete their news in result, will result in FW taking some kind of action. Because, really, why not give the rules? Just like with Custodes - it took them countless posts of "maybe fw does not want money", "great, why can't i play it in 40k" whining to get noticed

Not that I really care about any of those rules...

It's also happened over a weekend- the staff curating the page in the last two days may not have had the authority or knowledge to adequately answer requests about the Termite being provided to other forces, and have been forced to wait till Monday at the earliest to contact someone who can make the decision. So in the meanwhile they've been policing the comments thread, and then decided it was easier to delete it. Hopefully this is followed by an explanation next week in good will, otherwise it is a bit heavy handed by itself.

The temptation to convert him so that it looks like he's stabbing a sentry with his back to him will be hard to resist

Also, on the helmet:
