No Foes Remain Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 If it is then that's just stupid, I guess they don't want people buying into HH because they can't keep their stock levels up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that GW would want the book to be available to all LFGS so that the game can continue to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like all the specialist games are being underproduced atm.

Allart01 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I was somewhat expecting an article during this week to build up the release and talk a little more about the content - you know, "the thing" GW does for every release. Maybe it's just me, but I got the impression that there was less marketing than usual. I don't believe GW "doesn't want" to sell stuff, but I can believe this is going to be direct only...

Sky Potato Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 How much of that is because they probably haven't made that many of these due to production of Leviathan? Maybe they're trying to avoid hyping everybody up for a product they haven't made that many of? Trying to avoid a repeat of the launch of the Lion? eyedrops 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waaagh? Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 It was teased at two previews and the tank commander rules where previewed on a Heresy Thursday. Lord Marshal 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Marshal Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) They didn't do preview articles for the various Libers either, beyond the initial announcements anyway. For some reason or another 30k previews don't seem to be on WarCom's priority like... well, just about every other system. Then again, they previewed rules for the named Tank Commanders and the Meatball Daemon. They only thing we've not seen rules for are Inductii and the two foot characters.

Noserenda Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 The book has had literally twice as much marketing attention as any other books for a specialist game gets :D That wing of GW marketing has been long run by Johnny Tight lips, thats why i was so surprised the AOD roadmap had any detail at all on it! :P I mean they still have yet to acknowledge they technically created a whole new army in the Sisters of Silence breaking away from Talons and getting a bunch of new stuff, not a word...

Plaguecaster Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I'm still waiting for black shield rules and hopefully an actual plastic breacher squad. It's cool they going back to the black books as they were always amazing for the fluff in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 To be fair, we don't generally see much in the way of previews for any of the Specialist Games; and it's well-known that certain teams within Forge World aren't particularly chatty with the wider company. I know at least one person has compared it to "drawing water from stone" in terms of what they actually provide to WarCom.

Lord Marshal Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) It's up on the New Zealand site - $115 NZD. So... £37.50 GBP / $60 USD. I was preparing to clench my cheeks with the page count being higher than Crusade, so that was a pleasant surprise (Direct Only aside). Inductii will also be getting Legion-specific rules, which is a similarly a nice surprise.

Marshal Loss Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 – Legiones Astartes: Inductii – Rules for fielding Inductii, the hastily-created Astartes used as reinforcements in the latter days of the Horus Heresy, with specific rules for each Legion.

SkimaskMohawk Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Wow there really isn't much going on units wise. 5 decurions, the 2 special characters, the daemon assassin, and inductii. 8 characters. At least the zone mortalis and mission rules have a chance to offer value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the rules. It's the narrative that's the reason these books have value, really. Nagashsnee, Beren, batu and 8 others 2 8 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
