I think it would be cleared to have separate thread for each codex. I keep checking this thread in hopes that there would be some Eldar news...

I myself am waiting for Genestealer cults, sisters, and Harliquins.

We _Know_ Tau, Dark Eldar, and Necrons are coming up. Most of the stuff in here feels like a tactica debate not 'Rumors.'

I missed out on Tau info. Usually the first post is updated with new info. So if I click on "read first unread post" and it passes a bunch of pages, no loss, I go to page one, first post. Here for the Tau it's not the case.

It's almost like the Tau don't deserve their own thread. Really surprised by this.

Well, it's "News & Rumors", so I guess it covers the news part. And given some 20 years of experience with the average quality of GW "rumors" that aren't confirmed kinda makes discussing them 2014-style, if there's even a tiny scrap of something we actually have from GW and thus avoids the "98%-chance-it's-clickbait-nonesense-caveat", seem a lot more attractive.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but you understand that first posts getting updated requires a poster who actively updates the first post--or moderators to actively do it?

It's fairly easy when it's an OP who pays attention to things, but the OP in this case doesn't really seem to have been active too much in this thread. They posted a thread back in January over Naftka rumors, didn't really keep it updated or even really post in it.

That's how basically every Rumors thread ends up after awhile.

A foregone conclusion. It will either be that, or a million proposed rules and subsequent debates over them.

That's because GW keeps a tight lid on its own rumours. So most of the time that we get any credible rumours they are getting close to a formal release so the nature of the rumours tends to end up focusing on the leaked bits of rules and on what people hope the rules will be.

This is especially the case right now because the releases are without models so there's less speculation as to what models might change or come out with a release. So its really all down to the rules.

Tau, Necron and Dark Eldar are coming - beyond that we don't know anything besides random hints at other things and guesswork. And a thread can only go around guessing for so long before the topic moves on.

Fully understand. I know how much work it is. I did it a few times myself but not on Dakka. Just use to all the other codices getting their own thread with someone updating on Dakka is all. Just surprised that Tau didn't get one. Was wondering if this was the new norm for Dakka and no more individual codex rumour threads and I need to keep a closer eye on this thread.

Forgebane goes on preorder next week, followed by Codex Necrons the week after. Most importantly, the leaked Necron Dynasty rules have been confirmed.

Damnit. I just preordered the Tau book and now they go and do this to me?!

The dynasty rules are not bad. But we will need to see them in the context of special rules, strategems, and unit rules.

It’s just that this time, the OP was about a release schedule rumour, not just one codex. So as the codexes in the schedule have come out, the discussion has been about them in here.

If Flayed Ones even get a slight price cut, the Hatred ones are gonna be nasty to ANY bubble wrap in the game.

No Bone Kingdom of Drazak rules?

I am sad.

The Awakened By Murder trait is probably the best we will get and I'm sure there's gonna be some nifty relics.

No Empire of the Severed trait either, which is unfortunate because I like that dynasty.
Flayed ones will probably get a price cut because they are currently not worth the points. I mean, its more than a deathmark, yet has a worse save and no ranged weapon. What, GW?

-=Edit=- Removed colloquial profanity. Don't do that again. Lorek

No Charnovokh sadly, of course they aren't a super popular dynasty but they have a bit of fluff and a colour scheme so was hoping maybe there might be something.

Now you guys almost expect Space Marine treatment. I'll take a good codex over overly specific traits. There seems like enough for the different playstyles you might want, unless you want another -1 to hit army.

Going to assume that these Dynasty traits will apply to the whole army. I could see myself using a mix between Sautek and Mephrit quite a bit. I read on another forum that RP is functionally unchanged, so Necrons will still face the same weakness of one unit being targeted at a time to prevent RP (not confirmed as fact yet obviously)

For stuff outside of the chosen dynasties I'm mostly curious what Forge World do with their dynasty; I'd be fine if they say that you just use the most appropriate codex dynasty for Maynarkh units (read: Novokh) but if they end up putting out special rules for their armies then I'd be very interested to see what the Maynarkhs get.

Didn't really care for this, but now after seeing this link you have posted you have gotten me excited for this now.

/tg/ anon uploading Necron datasheets, I'm sure someone will collect a folder of them when he's finished.

damn, might not be able to pre-order as I don't get paid right away

saw this on FB


Has anyone seen this image in a codex or is it new?

Pretty sure its new.

We all knew EC is going to come eventually.

But this means they might come before WE, and that's a shocker.

How?

Khorne already had a huge update, including that of most of centrepiece models and characters. EC were always more likely IMO as their update would add a lot to AoS range too...

Age of Sigmar Khorne and Daemons "had a huge update".
World Eaters only saw Kharn get updated. There's room for new World Eater models, a few new special units, maybe even Angron.

Very little for Emperor's Children would be applicable to the AoS range, unless you're trying to insinuate they'd do another Tzaangor styled unit?

If they remade Emperor's Children they'll give a update to the Slaanesh Daemon range. Keeper of Sekrets, Fiend of Slaanesh, maybe some new heralds, etc...
Maybe even some mortal slaanesh units for AoS like they did with the Nurgle Battletome.

I just want a better looking KoS.. With an actual SC!

If they remade Emperor's Children and stuck to the pattern of Death Guard/Thousand Sons?
No Greater Daemons.

I would, for AoS, expect:
Keeper of Secrets
Fiend
Herald
Plastic Masque
A unit of 'heavy' troops
A flying unit of some kind
Some kind of big monster rider or several smaller riders
A unit of Cultist-esque troops

Out of all those releases?
The flying unit, Herald, Fiend, and maybe the Masque would transfer over to Emperor's Children--in addition to the Daemon stuff that already exists.
I'd also expect Noise Marines, some kind of debased version of the Palatines to fill a Terminator slot, a plastic Fulgrim, and a plastic Lucius. There's probably someone else who can add a few more ideas(Cultists, for example) but I'm not as familiar with EC as I used to be.
