Whole lot of "We're going to do a thing, but not really tell you about it!" announcements. Great.

"Psychic awakening will see rules for all armies, but we're not going to reveal a thing about it!"
"There's something coming for Necromunda, but we're not going to give a single detail about it!"

I mean why even bother?


The Seraphim and Penitent Engine are nice though.

Shrike is garbage.

Yeah. Underwhelmed entirely by these announcements
Banshee and Rohan homes are about the only things worth writing home about.

Ossiarch Bonereapers are scratching a Tomb Kings itch I missed out on back in the Old World.

Yeah, so? It doesn't change that our symbol didn't appear in the psychic awakening teaser.

The banshee looks a little plain doesn't it? Was expecting more iteration but it's very similar to the current ones. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers and I'm fine with a plastic aspect at all at this point.

A fully painted boxed set!

I don't think they were saying they're pre-painted. I think they're just saying "can you believe you'd see a plastic Sisters box all painted up and ready to go?" I mean, I could be wrong, but I didn't take it as a pre-painted box set, unless I've missed other news elsewhere.

No, you’re right.
They are just saying this force in the picture is painted.

It’s two separate paragraphs

No, they specifically said units from Indexes will not have their points values reviewed.

Not trying to be rude, but... how?

They remind me of a lot of weird fantasy concepts, particularly of people making armor and weapons out of the dead (either their own or enemies), a bit of He-man, a bit of Tyranids but jack for Tomb Kings influence.

Nope. That's that one specific model (shown) done as a anniversary model of the cover art from way back. Just... that one guy.

Warhammer Legends is going to be a book that gathers up all the legacy index stuff, assigns them a final point value and essentially tells people that while they can use them, they're functionally out of the game and GW no longer has any responsibility for keeping them in stock or updating their rules.

Cartoon skeletons look like junk.

Shrike is way too busy and far, far too faux-Bishonen.

Hmm. Don't care, don't care, not enough information on the necromunda thing.

Sisters don't look bad as base, but too much flying stand on the Seraphim and the penitent engine is...ok, I guess.

Yeah, warhammer legends means dead for competitive play. At least it did in AoS.

Its a specific datasheet

Thrilled about plastic Banshees and the possibility of other plastic aspects. Love the Shrike model. Completely underwhelmed by the Psychic Awakening "announcement", if you can call it that.

The anniversary marine they literally showed a picture of in the announcement. That's the imperial marine.

Indeed. They will be supported forever.
As in, those rules will always be available.

Azrael, in your excitement you’re divulging info a bit wrong, I don’t want people to start getting the wrong idea from hearing things being thrown up

No they'll be units not included in the space marine codex from the index.

Namely :

Chaplain on Bike

Libarian on Bike

Imperial Space Marine (Rare unit more of a 'special' unit than anything)

Legion of the Damned (For the moment)

Any thing that doesn't have a box set or blister is probably considered a legend.

Ok cool, I thought so, but then wondered if it was a sneaky way of moving them for the next Codex

Honestly, I was banging stuff up and scan reading it, I knew my minions would be along to clear up any mess down the way.

Yeah I know that, it’s all the index stuff.

Was just asking regarding ‘imperial sm’

He's fun at parties

Anywho, sounds like lots of fun stuff coming for 40k. I have a sneaking suspicion the psychic awakening will include new grey knights.

I meant until the on-site presentation is done.

It's still going on.

And you know what throw away line, is actually really important.

“The series will see plot threads that have enticed fans for decades resolved, champions new and old rise to the fore, and staggering revelations made”

Take that in..

I think they generally just go through all this but slower, with slides.
Whereas we just read through the page in a minute

They remind me of a lot of weird fantasy concepts, particularly of people making armor and weapons out of the dead (either their own or enemies), a bit of He-man, a bit of Tyranids but jack for Tomb Kings influence.

For me, they share similarities with TK because they have some of the same concepts. Sort of ramshackle looking and giant bone construct beings.

So I was correct, this update is disappointing. The laughable statement is "factions getting updates" means more books for you to buy that most likely will need FAQ or multiple that will go out of date and or use. The whole narrative was a cowardly inquisitor. Legends is weird and bad, saying that it isn't legal for events is the intent but index is still official rules is just lame. Also organised event rules don't effect me either. I wanted Primaris Jump troops but the model for shrike that just sucks it's way too "busy." Also using a gun is D:.

Yay, Sisters, I can't wait!

Shrike looks great, apart the hair. This is the armour the eventual Primaris Assault Marines will wear.

And the bone guys... Whoa! They're truly excellent! Really innovative and creepy designs. These are probably the best looking AOS models there is.

And whilst it is nice to have plastic Banshees, in comparison to all this amazing stuff they look a bit plain and boring. Like it is literally the same old design. I think I would have preferred them to do something a bit more adventurous with them.

Yes. I will be getting Shrike. He's not sniping, but I don't frigging care. He's got a beaky hat!

I wonder if there's a way to modeling with the helmet on. Obviously it's not difficult whatsoever to do it yourself but I would like to have the option be there. This model is almost exactly how I envisioned he would look too. I'm very happy for the Raven guard players. I hope once they get around to releasing the Imperial fists and Crimson Fists stuff that they give us some cool characters as well.

Shrike's kinda important at this juncture, since they made such a big fuss about him getting promoted to Chapter Master.

Oh, definitely. Like I said, I am really happy RG players are getting such an awesome model. Very fitting for a Chapter Master. I hope that pistol is something good. It definitely looks unique. He is just covered in class though, it is pretty badass.

I was just saying I hope Imperial Fists or Crimson Fists get something equally as awesome.

I don't get it. What about Shrike? All I see is a picture with a broken bit of barrier on a base.

Nah, that is a really good looking model. I hope to see a full unit outfitted like that in addition to Shrike.
