B: uh huh.

C: Maybe you should take your own advice instead of blindly sharing this alongside the information confirmed as from the open day.

Yea except they are one of the oldest factions with one of the largest catalogs of units to begin with. Compare the number of units from the ork book with admech for example lol. Sure the new buggies lack individual options, but you could also could have been given 3 buggies each with alternate loadouts. Or one with 6, same outcome only better since you can avoid the rule of three.

I really don't feel like explaining again why GW releasing 6 mono-pose option-less Buggies is a step backwards, so I'll just say that releasing 3 Buggies with options would not have been the 'same outcome'.

Yeah, that's not how copy and pasting on mobile typically works.

Capturing your information took long enough and I didn't delete any of it, when I swapped to simplified view your usage of symbols for page breaks didn't carry over well when I tried to capture it all.

Attributing malice to me is silly.

Regarding following my own advice, I'm not concerned. It's a rumor on Dakka. If it's wrong, it's wrong. I'm not SpikeyBits and trying to profit off it. I'm a dude stoked for an army and shared info with peers when I saw it. The end.

ah, I see, so parentheses don't carry over? How odd, since they were in the rest of the capture.

Getting upset about this to the point of creating an account to pester me about sharing information you put online is odd to me.

No one would have ever attributed this to you, and if the information is wrong it's on my account that shared it, as I wasn't about to do screenshots and accidentally dox you, but now you're willingly creating an account to say you posted the info, but also that it's probably not real.

So, thanks, I guess?

Back on topic, please.

Yeah, I can back up that those leaks are sadly fakes. The information comes from 4chan, an anon posted a photo of the front page of the 7e GSC codex, claiming that it was the 8e codex and he would give out information from it.



That's the photo that was used to gain reliability, but it's from the 7e GSC codex. They used this fake reliability and piggybacked off it to make a number of false claims.

I'll find the link to the 4chan post and I'll edit it in.

EDIT: It's from this thread here: http://boards.4channel.org/tg/thread/63898905#p63900257 - it extends into the next two threads or so.

Awesome. Good catch, glad I shared it (shame aside) so we could clear it up.

I may have missed it but is there a window for when GSC stuff will launch?

Right now it's just speculative. Using information we know already from the open day, it's assumed that:

It's coming in January.

It's coming straight after the AoS Grot release.

It's potentially a multi-week release.

Which indicates that we'll see:

Pre-orders go up on the 19th of January.

Codex is released on the 26th of January in stores and online, alongside the first batch of models.

The second batch of models will be in stores and online on the 2nd of February.

To my knowledge the 19th of January is the final wave of Grots - they'll be released on that day, and GSC preorders will go up at the same time (or on the next day, on Sunday).

To add to my last post, the GSC release is shaping up to be pretty massive, and I reckon it'll be a multi-week release. We've got the following kits we know for sure to be released:

Bikes.

Quad bike (might be part of the biker box).

Tectonic Fragdrill.

Female Magus.

Assassin cultists.

Vox Cultist.

Cloaked sword cultist.

Triple Pistol Cultist.

Sniper Biker Character (may be in biker box).

Herder "medic" character.

Holomap Cultist.

Plus there are a number of kits that are rumoured or hinted to be coming out. GW themselves said on the WHCommunity summary of the open day that there were more GSC units to come:

A "ripper like unit" (from the same person who knew that the female sniper biker was an HQ amongst other things).

A "rooftop saboteur" unit[ (from the same person who knew that the female sniper biker was an HQ amongst other things).

The new goliath variant seen in the trailer, it's very different in loadout and profile to the goliath we currently have.

Potentially a unit of larger genestealers that don't look too much like aberrants we saw in the trailer that the herder was guarded by.

I will never understand why some people decide to produce fake rumors.

Something something watch the world burn. Lol.

But regardless of fake rumors, I'm still pretty hyped by the above rumors of more new units not seen.

I'm not too sure, maybe they want to promote discussion to pass the time before the codex arrives or something.

In the absence of other leaks, people will fill the void, preferring to talk about something over nothing (other than vague information regarding rules - note I'm talking about rules here, not models - we've just got information on models). Plus I guess it's probably pretty fun if the person is good enough at faking leaks to get away with them.

Yea I am still super amped, I guess it just means I get to be excited about reading rules for a third time in the near future lol.

So speculation time...

How much will it cost in USD to get one of each thing we currently know about?

My first guess is 500$.....my poor wallet....

(Edit to add Codex)

I'm foolishly hoping they 3 or 4-pack some of the HQ/Elite stuff since it's $60 usd for the patriarch/magus/primus/famliars. Again I know that's wishful thinking.

Or you wait till the release für Killteam with every special HQ in a Boxes ;-) Sometimes its cheaper then the normal Ones (look at the Primaris Librarian)...

These are most likely to be £15 each, based on recent hero models, so the Killteam boxes would be more expensive.

the saddest part for me is no separate blisters for all three main generic HQs (excluding the lady magus if she is a named character)

With the number of new characters coming out it wouldn't surprise me to see some of them together on a single sprue like the Broodcoven. Can't see many people wanting to buy all the models individually at £15-20 each.

Hey man if Games Workshop wants to bundle it so to get the fancy new HQ biker and assassin I have to buy a new Magos sculpt and the Gribblogus I'm sure they'd be fleecing some, other...not completionist person... so maybe they should do that.

Yeah, was not expect this many characters. Figured like two or three box drops and the character we'd seen previously. Meanwhile I've only go so much saved up for this release...

I could be misrembering, but I thought when the Bikes/buggy was first revealed that they said it was a single kit with like 2 or 3 bikes and the buggy.

Wild guess; fortification will give GSC player 1sr turn DS

That would be terrain piece that's actually useful. Something GW systematically has failed to do. Don't expect to get useful rules for it. So far GW is flat 0 on that making them actually detrimental to use.

Not really happy that the gunslinger is in a combined commander/unit/terrain Kill Team box, either.

Likely comes later on his own out as well.

Something that might alter bit if they don't put AOS/40k stuff alongside week they put in adeptus titanicus stuff out. Supplement+new titan kit+transfers for that is coming 26.1 but whether that's pre-order date or in-store date is another thing.

Of course it's possible GW puts both in same week.

Well, there's me, rubbing my many, many hands with glee at the prospect of a proper return to 40k.

And what happens? GW are sodding well sold out of Manticore Rocket Tanks :(

Ah well, to the second hand market! Which is oddly appropriate when you think about it.

I'm hoping the rest aren't a bundle. I want just the lady magus.

I wonder if the Guard units in the book will actually be referred to as Brood Brothers, or if everything in a Cult army will be some variation of Hybrid.

Now I need to dig into my pile of old Imperial Guard vehicles, and see what I want to use for GSC. Do we know if they'll be able to use the Deathstrike Missile launcher? I've always wanted to add a 'doomsday missile' to my cult. I'm sure they suck gameplay wise, but just sort of as a fun extra fluffy element.

If the rumors about the drill thing causing earthquakes is true there might be a chance for a counts as type thing.

I've just spotted something in the art of the Warhammer Community page Open Day report. It's art of the "assassin" Cultist character, and it shows him carrying a sniper, which is NOT his depicted loadout from the model we've seen. This backs up the rumour that this model can also take a sniper loadout.

Here's the original artwork, before I adjusted it to make it easier to see:

Here's the adjusted version for you to see

Though partially obscured by the vertical fade and the text, you can see the end of the scope above the "A" in "YEAR", and the other end of the scope above the "R" in "WARHAMMER". This indicates that this kit is not monopose, or there is a second kit for him with a sniper loadout. This brings the number of GSC snipers up to 2 (the other being the sniper biker).

This was previously just a rumour, but this is much more confirming.

This is the model pictured, but with a knife:

Actually, potentially scrap that, as the red dot looks to be part of his mining suit, and the "scope" I'm seeing is likely just the device hanging from his neck.
