Halandaar Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 So this art (featuring the two factions long rumoured to be the ones spearheading the next edition of 40K) which was used in two 40K teaser clips and had the 40K logo on is now the splash image for the main 40K website which is getting an overhaul on the day of a "big" 40K reveal at Adepticon.

Jscarlos18 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Weird they decided to change the website. It's due to being preciselly the tabletop's 10th edition? Wonder what they will add to it. Maybe the new CGI video, the galaxy's map and the playable factions like before. Or, perhaps beaide those, something new. 13 minutes ago, kamedake88 said: here we go again.

Oh no, getting banned on one of the more toxic GW forums of the internet.... how will you ever cope Wear that with a badge of honour, my friend! So I guess we're getting a 10th Ed reveal at Adoption.

GW contracted to Kirbys wife's business to implement the new site. The rollout wasn't particularly great if I remember but it was more about the implications of nepotism or whatever.

Joe Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 It was a combination of the cost (to the tune of £1.5mil) and at least one person who allegedly worked on it posting a fairly lengthy post on Reddit discussing how they hadn't actually achieved the tender objectives, hence the fairly awful state it's been in ever since. skylerboodie and kamedake88 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Well I suspect we won't see that again and it hasn't happened so far since 8th... Moving on; that is pretty conclusive evidence then. A new edition for 40K would warrant a new website for promotion. ja1904 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be Space Hulk. Hey, I will be more than happy to be wrong on what it specifically is once we all know for sure. Although it would be nice if a new 40K Edition was an actual improvement to the game.

The official reveal of the box contents were on the 14th of June, while the announcement of the edition was 23rd of may where they've shown one necron warrior and one assault intercessor. Overall it seems we're getting an early start this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
