Runefyre Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 "The occult warriors of the XV momentarily turn the tide against the Space Wolves invaders. But as history shows, victories are fleeting compared to the all-consuming wrath of the Vlka Fenryka. Love that bit.

Vodunius Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Miracles can happen, but more likely the White Dwarf was finalised and sent to the printer and when FW was still hopeful of getting the book finished on time.

I think this is the answer here. We saw images of November white dwarf 2 full Months before release. So I say it's just printed too far ahead and they had reliezed they wouldn't make deadline yet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328032-inferno-in-december/#findComment-4568718 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol_Invictus Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 So no Inferno in December... :( Thanks White Dwarf team... (that's sarcasm.

helterskelter Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 No eviscerating here, hence the question mark in the title ^_^ A shame that the WD are done so far in advance that silly things like this can't be sorted (granted my largest disappointment in that regard was waiting another month or 2 for Billy connolly on warpig :p) but that's the way of things. What's another couple of months when it's been pushed back a year or 2 anyway XD Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328032-inferno-in-december/#findComment-4569452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taliesin Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I agree. If they feel they need to print them this far in advance, and you can question why that is the case with a news magazine anyway, you should either be more flexible in what you can still change content wise, or they should have got the word out. Either through the Internet, or by putting it in a rectification on top of the article.

Baluc Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I wonder how much longer before GW proper gets as exasperated with FW as the rest of us. White Dwarf is brand new and has already been embarrassed twice by Forge World. Deadlines are like the most basic part of corporate behaviour, I'm glad FW is getting increased over site.

Baluc Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The most galling issue is the apparent lack of professionalism. If something isn't done its not done, however hype is fleeting and its cross market competitive, releasing BoP and Inferno 3 months a part for general release is disappointing to me as a stock holder and a hobbyist.

If white dwarf is done 4+ months ahead of time Inferno could have been tracking for a December release at that time. Project slippage can happen at basically any stage. And personally I would rather they release a good product in February than rush things to make a December deadline.

Project slippage can happen at basically any stage. And personally I would rather they release a good product in February than rush things to make a December deadline. This, things happen, things go wrong or are missed and small things can cause massive ripples. Also when does the WD actually release? Because if it hasn't yet we can't really be angry for GW not doing damage control. And the date works for me anyway as I need to save for some other things first. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328032-inferno-in-december/#findComment-4569922 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mostly unimpressed about the professionalism, rather than the actual release being delayed to Feb. In last months WD was it actually said next month would include rules for SoS.

Commissar Ibram Gaunt Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 The only problem ilwith this is why it has been included in the magazine. Why do they need such a huge turn around time for a magazine. I have worked for one the lergest publishers in Australia and all our magazines went to print with a one week turnaround to been delivered. They weren't even printed in Australia either. GW would be far better shortening down there over the top excessive turnaround time to provide users accurate information.

b1soul Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 This, things happen, things go wrong or are missed and small things can cause massive ripples. Companies with strong quality control and project planning capability are able to minimise or even eliminate delays "Problems happen, settle down" is an attitude you may have in your personal life...but a company should avoid it like the plague. In the long-run, it's bad for business. I doubt FW (or GW) actually has such a sloppy attitude...but I hope they learn quickly from their mistakes.

Dantay VI Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Without the long lead times how would the leaks get thrir news and pictures out? :P If yhis is actually in thisonths WD then it is embarassing for the company. Especially condidering we ALL knew beforehand yhey are looking at Feb. However if not, then no harm, no foul.. they caught it dealt with it & without yhat picture we'd be none the wiser.

Marshal Rohr Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 The model of keeping the rules confined to big books is probably what is frustrating most people. If they would just release the rules in red books ahead of time it would be easier to be patient for the fluff.

Can you imagine the combined rage of all the Thousand Sons/Space Wolves/Adeptus Custodes/Sisters of Silence players??? Nah, that would be lack of competency worthy of termination. But, I mean I guess for whatever reason when you give at your place of employment a timeline is then negotiable by months... after years... Since Inferno was started and and its nominal release date Boeing a company known for horrible corporate responsibility and management will have produced and introduced two completely new airplanes. At the end of the day Inferno a rulebook for a model game. It may and hopefully be amazing book and a pleasure to read and play with, but can we stop pretending it will have been a bang up job?
