I'm less hopeful for sc kit. It's the expensive solo sprue. Gwwantsto sell that. And reanimator, stormcast winged lady etc that been on those sprues haven't got separate release.

Expecting screamer killer be just on sprue it's on now.

But isn't new SC sharing its sprue with a Neurotyrant? It would mean they need to share a box then.

If the rumours are true that we are going to see huge numbers of new kits I can see a kit just dedicated to the vanilla carnifexes and other multipart to SC with OOE.

Yes.

Not saying that is for sure but the shared sprue has been on sale alone before and separate kits haven't been quaranteed. So possibility that only way to get those is together is there.

You still need buy combo sprue separateiy for reanimator, skorpek lord & plasmancer for example.

Hoping for better but preparing for worst.

These combo sprues were main reason for me to get leviathan over starter sets.

These are probably some of the best push fit sprues GW has done, lots of variety and detail I dont think multipart will be that much different. Although I cannot imagine these 2 big critters not being sold separately as multipart. If it was like just the Carnifex and some lesser critter maybe but its rather 2 important biguns.

You still can't buy a Venom Crawler without getting two Oblits. Yet another set of models caught in single-sprue limto.

Suppressors have it even worse.

What’s worse is the master of possession is on a single sprue and you can’t even buy him anymore

Changes to our points:
Biovores
1 model ..............................................................65 pts
2 models ..........................................................130 pts
3 models ..........................................................195 pts
Harpy
1 model ............................................................230 pts

They need to give us new Biovores models first... dont want 3 of those ugly monkeys.

They look better than their predecessors... . But well, I have three 2nd edition ones, I'm fine.

Why did the Harpy, of all things, go up?

Because it is a flyer, by definition it has to go up there in the sky

Haruspex hasn’t.

And I think we all know how I feel about the Haruspex 😂😂

Thanks, I just snorted my drink.

Because of how powerful an ability dropping free spore mines is. It's seriously the main thing that made Nids broken last edition, and it's still a powerful mechanic for board control.

Don't worry, it probably will have by the time you play your first game.

Hive guard escaped the points increase, even though Impaler Cannons are indirect...

It feels so strange having a points update before the codex!

The indexes are basically the codex, so this is the ~2 week error catch.

Nice of them not to let things linger for months.

It's because the Vitally Important battle of Oghram hangs in the balance!!! Every battle matters!!!!!

Honestly? Whilst I fully accept my lack of in-game experience means I am missing something, but it does seem very undercosted. Yes its damage is done in HTH, which means running the gauntlet to get its nom-noms, but it’s not exactly a terribly soft target. And at a piffling 125 points, it doesn’t need to do massive damage to punch it’s weight.

It doesn't punch as hard as the Fire Prism though, and that was also 125 points (somehow...). It only got a +25 point increase as well.

Meanwhile, the Toxicrene stays at 200...

Using eldar as baseline isn't healthy for game though. Eldar shou'd be toned down. Not bring rest same level

No sense in putting fixes off if as suggested the datasheets won't see any notable updates anyway between the index and the codex, right?

Also, where are we at with regard to fixes and points updates at the moment? I kind of tuned out. Is it six months? Three months? A mix? There's a decent chance that the codex is three months away, so skipping any work now might just skip an entire update interval. That doesn't sound like a good look for GW.

If Warhammer gets ~250 more followers on twitter and we may get another 'milestone' preview.

Estimating by the gains they had in the last weeks, that's in about 4-5 days.

The Toxicrene at 200 was gak before anyone even looked at the Eldar points. The fact that the Fire Prism has been "balanced" and is still 50 points cheaper than the Toxicrene is just pouring salt into the wound.

The trouble is that is on Twitter. Maybe GW should look into Threads?

The app that came out literally yesterday and is currently not available in Europe, where much of their business is based? Yes, they probably should, but not immediately - their twitter presence so far is the best-kept of their social media presences and has enjoyed steady growth in recent times, for now they should keep it while being aware of the alternatives.

Also, they do have an Instagram with 500k followers, as far as i am aware Threads is somewhat integrated with that, so it will probably happen either automatically or very soon if i understood this right.

Yeah and they can start using Truth Social at the same time.

It's available in the UK TBF.

But if GW are interested in expanding their social footprint Bluesky would be preferred...
