kombatwombat Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I’ve been thinking about our best possible scenario for this release. It goes something like this: The Chapter Supplements were planned a year or more in advance - a reasonable assumption given the effort that goes into them even before printing and model releases is taken into account. Templars were intended to be included in the Fists supplement with no model releases, similar to how Crimson Fists were treated. Then the last survey results came in, with a large number of people asking for Templars - potentially for the second year in a row. This led GW to change their plans, and pull Templars out of the Fists book to give them their own Supplement. The 8-ish months from the survey results coming in to the Supplements release wasn’t enough for a character/upgrade sprue to be printed for Templars and would be tight for a Supplement book, so GW changes tack. They put the rules for Templars that were going to be in the Fists book into a Psychic Awakening Campaign book instead. Those books are temporary in nature, so when they go out of print they have to release the Templars rules somewhere else - i.e. in their own Supplement book. By the time this is due for release, GW have had enough time to cobble together an upgrade sprue and character model to go along with the shiny new Supplement: Black Templars. It might be some hearty wishlisting, but it’d be nice! BLACK BLŒ FLY 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punchomatic Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 This makes a lot of sense but more importantly I want it to be true! Do we have access to the survey data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilamandaros Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 We may know more from tonight's Blood & Glory previews, Sisters are definitely getting a preview so we might too... Can only hope! painting.for.my.sanity 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 This makes a lot of sense but more importantly I want it to be true! Do we have access to the survey data? There's been no survey news at all. Which is in itself strange, as we'd had the sisters result months ago last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DranuTemplar Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Anyone watch Blood and Glory? Any hints at least about future models after this desert of Physchic Awakening ends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Psychic awakening 2 truly a paranthesis release, they're already onto pushing book 3 which will be out with Mephiston at the end of the month. Sete 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I can't see them dropping two books in month. When is PA2 due? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 So they'd drop mephiston alone then? Maybe his preorder is on the 30th, but the date is pretty hard to ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) I have shared my dissatisfaction on FB page. Not paying extra for less. Unfortunately the french rumours were right, except it's not BT vs Chaos, it seems its Chaos vs Imperium. Edited November 2, 2019 by Sete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Vespasian Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Whelp looks like there is nothing coming for us except for rules if they are even teasing Mephiston by now. I am cool with rules and we were expecting this. Not super extatic about the Lack of models though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Psychic awakening 2 truly a paranthesis release, they're already onto pushing book 3 which will be out with Mephiston at the end of the month.I agree it feels like a filler release.For this we would be better off in the IF supplement. At least it would be cheaper, and we would have had our rules earlier aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 So they'd drop mephiston alone then? Maybe his preorder is on the 30th, but the date is pretty hard to ignore. I agree, he won't arrive alone, at least not initially if JainZar and Drazhar are anything to go by. But we aren't getting PA2 next Saturday, as we would have had the pre-order news. And even if it was announced this Sunday, we wouldn't get it until the 16th, but that doesn't leave a lot of time for Monday reveals. The most intriguing line is the 'new stuff' for marines and chaos marines at the bottom of the picture, it can't be rules, because the box is headed 'new rules' with a 'plus' new stuff. Still, unlikely to BT specific. It's probably a multi-part release of something Shadowspear, like Suppressors for SM and Obliterators for CSM.

Ado Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I'll welcome new rules especially if we get sufficient pages in this new book - will wait and see what it holds before I make a judgement. And I agree the "new stuff for space marines" line is intriguing especially as it doesn't seem to relate to rules, and we've already had the Christmas bundles revealed. I sincerely hope that they do at some point release upgrade sprues and dice for us at some point soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Dudes, it's probably formations for Sallies and White Scars. They appeared on the tease. Just like BT had sword Bros for vigilus, they could have something for them. We already seen the leaked release list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmmmm Napalm Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 yep I'm not buying it. It's insulting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmapa Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Im going to wait before buying it, Im ok with getting new rules but its not enticing enough for me BUT if it has good fluff and art then I might buy it otherwise I'll just get the EPUB through other means.

Sete Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 I wont be buying it, because I just spent my budget on SW Legion clone wars starter set. Should give me a nice break from 40k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should hear what you said before... very disappointing review (from a BT view). But the SoB are the greatest models from GW so far. BY FAR !!!!!!

Red_Shift Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I'm going to miss it as well, because it feels like a Hodge-podge of rules for miscellaneous unloved factions. It's worrying that gw don't seem to be trying to sell a story with this book and are already on to promoting book three. Makes me think that nothing of note will happen in whatever campaign it details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A higher upgrade level for psykers and chaplains like the chapter master upgrade (1 cp for an additional psychic power or a lithany) Sete 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punchomatic Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I don’t get the lack of zeal here. When I see: “Codex supplement-tier content for the Black Templars” I can’t help but feel the urge to purge. Sure we aren’t getting models but we already have the best upgrade kit in the game and the best single model (EC) so I can wait for a while. My dudes, we are basically getting a new codex on a par with first founding chapters. It’s not the moon on a string but it’s a hell of a lot more than we have had for a long time.
