In GW rates, 120GBP, it was mentioned upthread.

The new mechanicus fliers are exactly $100, find them in your store and guesstimate.

Or just read the people who already replied that it looks to be around 120GBP.

As Canadian prices are double the UK prices and the Canadian price is 239, then the UK price should be £120.

What could the Combat Gauge possibly have to make it special for $27

Two letters printed on it: GW.

I don't think the rules reveal by GW was a "panic" reaction. I think it was meant to be released.

The guys over at Tabletop Titans are doing a 9th edition battle report tonight on their Youtube channel. Brian was one of the playtesters for 9th edition so obviously he has gotten the "green light" from GW to show off the new edition.

Tau vs Imperial Fists. 7PM Central time.

No other groups I've seen on Youtube are doing 9th bat reps tonight but I know some groups only do batreps on certain days. Could possibly see a Tabletop Tactics 9th ed batrep soon since Bone was a playtester for 9th (I think all of them might have been IIRC).

TT guys always have such beautiful armies. Adrian's Chaos are really lovely.

Goonhammer have even done an unboxing of the new set.

In GW conversion rate it's 120£ = 155€ = 200$US

I'm thinking GW did what they usually do: sent out review copies for folks to release stuff on come the day the pre-order goes up, but it got spoiled a week early.

At least my boomer eyes don't have to squint and zoom in the pages to read the rules.

I'm excited for 9th and my LGS is offering a painting comp with a $100 prize for best painted 2k army by 9th edition launch day.

So I have incentive to paint my army.

Eh they already previewed the box contents a few weeks ago on the twitch, so the contents are not a huge surprise. Chances are they are just ramping up the marketing now ready to get people really fired up for the 11th.

That's a great idea and it mitigates a lot of the discussion from earlier in this thread. The discussion that shall not be named.

The rules were released around the same time the NDAs were lifted. Which makes me believe this was intended.

Box contents, no, rules contents should have been though.

Right. That's why it was covered in swear words and lusty cowboy fornication.

I'm just not sure why a store would have English and French editions but US currency.

Maybe it's a Canadian store?

I think they have a decent relationship with their marketing partners and decided to lift the NDA because of the leaks.
Otherwise, everyone would be discussing the new rules BUT the persons they intended to.

Edit : And yeah, there is the teenage watermarks issue too.

This is 2020 bro and GW have been very clear if you exclude people from the hobby for non hobby reasons your not welcome

If one of the playtesters wants to go Brookback mountain over their spoilers thats their choice.

I'm just saying that it doesn't work as a GW marketing campaign.

Everything interesting aside from the missions and the engagement range nerf had already been revealed by the time the guy leaked it, gotta think that probably isn't a coincidence.

Thanks for the answers on my question a few pages back about engagement range for huge models, wasn't there to answer earlier

With the few BatReps we'll see on Youtube, does that mean they'll play with the new points value ? Or are they playing 9th with 8th's points ? I'm really itching to see the point cost of everything, it's the most important thing now that rules are released.

I think the swear words were there for a different reason

the person was talking about what was written in the book on /tg/ and was told that he should take his made up stuff over to reddit were people will believe the stupid things he write
an hour later we got pictures of the rules with swear words and "f... reddit"

this was not something planned by GW, but they reacted fast enough to get us the real stuff and not some bad pictures with missing pages

Points will be available July 11th in the app, assuming someone doesn't leak them before that. Not clear whether the app will be free or not, though.

Unless GW sent them the new points, I imagine they'll play with PL and focus on the mechanics. That or use 8th ed points.

Brad Chester's AOW40k podcast interview made it sound like the playtesters possibly didn't have the new points values when they were testing. Several times he said stuff like "we'll have to see what the points are for X," which I guess could just be "I can't tell you that," but I sorta interpreted as "I don't know what the points are either."

All this has ruined the Saturday stream though, we know the rules, we've seen the units in the box already and they're not even running a standard battle.

I can imagine different teams got different stuff based on what they were testing. Was he doing matched or narrative? Or maybe they used 8th points so GW could get feedback on how it impacted different things so they could adjust them from there?

If models with a 2+ to begin with get a shield that improves their save characterstic by 1 then you can start to have your argument about how stupid GW is (answer: very!).

You mean if you give them the armour indomitus or artificer armour relics?

It's possible they all all got the same test packets and points but when they receive feedback they don't return to the playtesters, so if they placed a unit at 17, the playtesters all said it should be 19-21 they just publish it at 20.

Yeah that was kinda the impression I got: the playtesters were given points values of some sort, but they were provisional, with the understanding they would change based on feedback.

Because he did say somewhere something to the effect that "stuff that everybody complained about in 8th will probably get a big points hike, stuff that didn't won't, rather than an across the board 20%." So that implies they had at least some info.

Ah, that's a good point.

Given that this exact same thing happened with Orks in 8th, I assume the solution will be the same.
