They actually made a webpage for that url.

That's pretty funny.

Yes, suspect it's a mix of truth and made up stuff i.e. 18 sided dice is not actually possible, green plastic and Salamanders are definitely possible, I'd be surprised at push fit models but who knows...

Im pretty sure its mostly a troll, i expect a major new release but not convinced its a whole new edition and theyre just having a go at us

Salamanders vs Iron Warriors, new edition, New Dread type.

All seems consistent with what we knew was coming from Valrak

I have a feeling that all of that stuff is deliberately misleading and rumour-like.

The sprues are real but won't actually be green/push-fit, the saturnine dread will exist but the picture is some other unit like a mechanicum robot, and the D18 is photoshopped while the box comes with a D12 / D20 or whatever.

They're having a bit of fun over the long-running rumours.

And plastic MKII?

Someone on B&C pointed out that the sprue shown is from the Flawless Blades:



They're definitely having fun with this.

They played this so masterfully that it could.go in any direction.

The video has so many little trolls in it. 24/06, painting hazard stripes, Imperial Armour Volume 1 2nd edition

Website shared above isn’t working?

Apologies, I forgot the "the"!

Oh man, I wish they were actually so efficient and quick at releasing rules that are not garbage, fixing the garbage rules should anything slip through and overall supporting the system.
But, apparently, all they can do with SGs is just release it, milk as much money as possible and then forget about it for the next 3 or so years when they can milk it more with new books and say "look guys, we care, we are the nu-gw"

Shhh, mentioning that is now verboten, just like we're not supposed to bring up plastic MK5 anymore. Everything Valrak says is coming that happens is evidence of his oracular nature, everything he says that doesn't happen was never said - afterall, if it was going to happen, he'd have said it right? And since it didn't, he can't have. Stands to reason, QED.

Oh and three weeks isn't even close to the longest we've gone without a Heresy Thursday, so I'm not sure why people are reading so much into that.

EDIT: Oh and before anyone tries to imply GW wouldn't go to this much effort to troll people online listening to rumours - I trust you're enjoying your Aeronautica Imperialis scale plastic Thunderhawks...

Well that's just cruel.

Oddly there's plenty of people out there that would prefer HH to remain exactly as is and would consider a 1 page faq 3 years later as "enough" as they hate the competitive patch cycle.

And we still don’t have enough to say there’s definitely a new edition coming.

I think we can say something is coming. But we don’t yet have enough to rule out my speculation this is a Necromunda style updated rulebook with all FAQ and Errata in the book, and a stack of shiny new models to boot.

I will grant we’ve now far more evidence it is a whole new edition - but it’s not yet conclusive.

Even your speculation could easily be branded a new edition tbh.

Not if it leaves the existing army book things compatible.

But I agree it’s largely semantic there.

Plenty of historic precedent for editions not invalidating established books however.

I suppose many of those people own a competitive crème de la crème army and don't want to see it rightfully nerfed. As a Mechanicum player such a faq surely isn't enough to fix the Liber Mechanicum.

I’m not gonna read too much into the silliness for now. Just enjoy the joke whilst it is a joke.

Just as long as they get rid of the Dreadnought Ancients Army, I'll be happy.

No way! Don’t take my Dreadnoughts away! There’s better ways to tone it down.

Dreadnoughts should not be better than Knights!

Begone, foul mecha !

Yeah, the core issue for that RoW is how good Contemptors are to begin with. Tone them down and that RoW is basically like facing Knights and all the Armigers they have to field but without bigs to back them up.

I feel like dropping Dreads to a 3+ save would go a good way to making them more palatable.

Maybe the HQ version could keep a 2+.

Do frames have (presumably) "Copyright Warhammer 2025" on them now? Is Games Workshop changing its name to Warhammer?!

Yup, they have been like that from at least the start of the year. First one I noticed it on, and the embossed Warhammer logo, was the new Krieg release.
