Wonder when they are going to restock the resin models at the GW site...

I noticed all the Alpha Legion models returned... just played slightly different.

The Saturnine model are very marmite, so I'm guessing that lots of people just went for the book rather than buy a box with models they dislike.

I put the Death Guard Praetors on notification months ago and nothing has happened since.

My plans changed from:

2 x big box
1 x each Liber
1 x "Isstvan...Again?" campaign book

to:

1 x big box
1 x "Isstvan...Again?" campaign book

I'm in "wait and see" mode on the game as a whole with all the changes, and on the Libers in particular due to all the loss of options.

I do love the Saturnine Termis and Dread though, so I'll probably get more of them eventually...

Yeah. Hopefully something gets put back on there. I want to spend money on their stuff, but it kinda sucks when you can't buy what you need to play.

Anyone care to share the sources for supposedly discounted Saturnine sets?

lol

Based on the source of the report I suspect it's merely agitprop.

You don't need anymore stuff, though, brother! Finish painting what you got last time!

Got my orders in, 1 copy of the box from one store, 2 copies of the box from another plus 2 kratos, 1 deimos, 1 liber hereticus, 1 liber astartes, 1 special weapon upgrade, 1 heavy weapon upgrade. Best part is the kratos and deimos are free and the rest is at a 25%+ discount

I build, i rarely paint. Gives me anxiety.

To me the biggest kick in the balls is the fact that they are 100% aware of how gak this new edition was. They showed so much stuff in all these articles but not a single profile for a resin legion specific unit, or a consul, or anything that showed the massive cuts they had made. They knowingly withheld that info from us cause they knew it would be a titanic gak-storm hoping nobody would leak anything and people would only find all this trash info out AFTER they pre-ordered 6 books and $500 in miniatures. And on top of all that, they flat out lied twice.

Hmmm. If my dumb hillbilly self could figure out how to post videos, I'd totally post the Pirates of the Caribbean video of that guy saying "First time?" Right now.

It's The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, not Pirates of the Caribbean.

Nah, it happened to me when they blew up Fantasy for AOS and said "It's ok! You can still use your armies!" and over the next 3 editions the amount of Fantasy minis you could use was slowly eroded before basically being non-existent.

Then It happened when they introduced Primaris Marines and said "It's ok! You can still use your armies!" and over the next 3 editions the amount of Firstborn minis you could use was slowly eroded away before basically being non-existent.

And now it happened when they said in HH3.0 "It's ok! You can still use your armies!" and swept the fething rug out from under an entire community that hard-carried your 3rd best selling miniature game for over a decade.

And then after a few years they bring it all back and make it all usable again. Sometimes 5, sometimes 15. I do wonder what those people who burned their entire elf army thought then old world came out and turned out to be pretty solid.

I was one of those poor sods who put his Bretonians up for sale.

But I think GW will course correct and put out rules for most of the missing models.

Sure, for general stuff look no further than the Legends PDFs they've told you are coming. And that are going to be game/tourney/event legal!
But yet most of these people are going to keep right on about how they've deleted this or that unit, invalidated their forces, etc etc etc.

We all know what Legends means: Legal for one more edition and then gone.

I think you're putting too much faith in the Legends PDF honestly. The removals are both wide and deep, and in my opinion go further than a simple errata can fix. For example you'd have to start adding 2 more entries per Consul to accommodate Jump, Cataphractii and Tartaros variants. That alone is what, 20+ new entries?
As well as introducing bike and jetbike options for the power armoured variants. Every one of them needs their wargear options back as well.

Edit- I'm getting confused between which options are wargear and which are entirely new profiles.

Yea what are they going to do, put the entire 2.0 Libres in Legends that's legal alongside the 3.0 Libre?

I see them cherry-picking a few units and giving them rules alongside an article on converting them. So maybe Destroyers would find a way back, and possibly characters on jetbikes (pretty rare in the lists I've seen, but very cool modelling subjects). I can't see them adding multiple weapon options back in, and less common units like Grey Stalkers will likely stay dead.

The ironic thing about removing all the Consul weapon options that aren't depicted on the resin models is most of those models are almost permanently unavailable online, so people are still going to resort to converting and 3-D printers...

Yeah its too extensive to fix with a pdf and honestly, If thats the case they should make a free updated liber book set for both loyalties. Theres too much to fix and re-add.
