jaxom Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I'm not sure if we'd see new terrain rules in Chapter Approved before they would added for an updated core rulebook.

Guest Triszin Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I'd say 1&3 are ghouls vamps for aos. 2, is chaos for sure. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363944-big-preview-speculation/page/4/#findComment-5523825 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 So wishlisting a bit but I hope we see a horde discount put into thr game like 3pk and AoS has. Something to make big units more attractive. Not massive discounts, but enough to make taking CSM cheaper than taking 4x5 CSM. That kind of thing.

Magos Takatus Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 We Ork players would definitely not mind. Most of us anyway. The prospect of painting camo on another 30 Orks makes me feel a bit ill. :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363944-big-preview-speculation/page/4/#findComment-5523881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK0SIAN Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I’m obviously getting way ahead of myself here but, does anyone remember how long it was between them announcing 8th edition and it dropping and how long between them announcing AoS 2 and it dropping? My hazy memory seems to be around 3 months but I could have that wrong. I’m just trying to get an idea on timescale if they do announce a new edition. Obviously the current lock down may make previous examples irrelevant but it’d be interesting to know what they might be aiming for.

No idea about AoS, but I checked the WH Community website for articles from 2017: March 23rd: 8th ed snippets discussed at Adepticon April 22nd: new edition FAQ May 15th: Primaris unveiled (background, datasheet) May 16th: Indomitus Crusade background May 23rd: Dark Imperium release date announced May 26th: more primaris datasheets May 27th: WH Fest coverage (Forge World books, Redemptor Dread) May 31st: Dark Imperium unboxing June 3rd: Dark Imperium preorder EDIT: I missed some of the older articles, added now. It took just over a month from the official announcement to the release of Dark Imperium. Rumours were running wild from early March at least.

It was faster than I remembered then between the official announcement and the new edition. Must’ve felt like longer because of the rumours I guess. That bodes well for this (current situation pending) if they do announce another edition :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363944-big-preview-speculation/page/4/#findComment-5523944 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 War of Sigmar blog hypes things even more. I can't wait. That is very subjective to what that person likes. If it tyranids getting a primarch-level character, it's meh for me. If it's Russ, Corax, Perty, Angron coming back then you have my attention. Different people get excited over different things.

Lord Nord in Gravis Armour Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 It might not be the biggest news of the preview, but I'm hoping they will announce that pre-orders will start up again the following week (the 30th), with our first pre-order preview showing up the day after the preview (Sunday the 24th). They may have to push it back further, but hopefully they will at least have a solid date in mind that they can tell us.

StraightSilver Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Total speculation on my part but I'm thinking it'll be a new starter set with Necrons vs Ultramarines. Silent King returns, Necrons awake everywhere, Cato Sicarius gathers a rapid strike force (bikes and speeders), is overly confident, gets a kicking and crosses the rubicon.Box set has new Necron character and Primaris Sicarius.But a new boxed set won't be the only thing and I reckon we'll see updates for Lost and the Damned, Necrons and Catachans.

Knight Artorias Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I'd prefer they kill Sicarius off. Use his death to introduce TSK or another Necron character as a badass. UM have plenty of cool characters anyway.

Blindhamster Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 wonder if we'll see any leaks in the next day or two, usually we get at least something lol. Im not holding my breath on a new edition sort of thing. After thinking about it, it does feel like they have a bit too much left unshown atm.

Captain Idaho Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Oh Emperor please no - not another "Space Marine goes down fighting and comes back a Primaris" background justification. Just make a new model. Seriously, if you've got the guts to phase out old models and change 30 years of background with Primaris, just have the guts to kill off characters you're replacing and give us something original. As you can tell, I don't agree that every model needed to be upgraded to Primaris. Just the rubbish and ancient looking ones. The rest... keep or kill - then bring out new models. *** On that note, I reckon if we see Primaris bikers we'll see Primaris Lieutenant and a Chaplain on a bike. From the potato cam we are sure there's some sort of gunship coming which is always cool.
