It could. It would need to be roughly 300 pages long and be a whole new set of Libers on its own, resulting in an insane amount of work for writers and players, but it could.

Did they play any of the older (hurts to say that) editions? Pre 8th ed? As the core rules for 2.0 is basically an evolution from those, so maybe that could be a angle you could work?

I've also seen a few facebook and discord posts from some 3rd party sites saying they've had stock free up. I had noticed this aswell yes, so far the arcane journal, sorry journal tactica, seems to be the thing that goes fastest (or has the lowest stock allocation). It does feel like less of a rush to buy things compared to the AoD box set. That said, I wonder wether it also has to do with the fact that the box doesn't have a plastic spartan in it. Having new plastic kits isn't quite as special as it was 3 years ago so I don't know wether it's just a case of people not wanting to switch alone. That said, I wasn't sold on the box just yet (definately no day one purchase) but the invalidation of a lot of my stuff made me personally opt out alltogether.  As for the PDF, as others have pointed out, it most likely won't bring back option for units in the libers. Just units that aren't in the libers. Aside from the fact that the last PDF was a dumpster fire quality wise, it's the same team writing this one so there's no reason to assume that all off a sudden they have become competent. Also as mahny have pointed out, the legion shave lost a fair bt of flavor from what it looks like, don't think a PDF will fix that either. Ah well, there's always 1.0 or 2.0.  roryokane 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385821-new-edition-or-just-horus-hearsay/page/147/#findComment-6121466 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkMark Posted Sunday at 05:05 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:05 PM With the new Nintendo launch I saw a new phase namely 'weaponised nostalgia'. GW really are the masters of this. However, they may have got it very wrong with this release.  If you're excited for everything that is coming then great.

Its rules are kind of neat, Sky-Fire in an edition where, from a brief glance, flyers are much more useful and 10 pretty strong shots. So it can reliably maim alot of threats.  Plus the 5++ bubble in an edition where you can't try to shroud or Night Fight away from your problems.  I mean, I am probably going to trade mine since I don't have much interest in gunlines but I could see IW-esque lists loving those.

de Selby Posted Sunday at 05:21 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:21 PM I was excited about Saturnine. I like what I've heard about the core rules.  I already have alpha legion, ultramarines and word bearers armies and was planning on starting imperial fists to balance the scales. But now I'm on pause while I figure out if/how I make my existing armies legal.  This kind of thing has been happening with my 40k armies, but by the nature of the way HH rules are published (which is otherwise a good thing) it's a problem for all my 30k armies at once.  You can see in another thread on this very forum that I just bought a couple of new 40k drop pods despite reservations about the new kit, and actually I'm quite happy with them. But Saturnine and two libers is an order of magnitude more investment and I'm not jumping in.
