New Edition, or Just Horus Hearsay?

Something I noticed with the salamander squad, I don’t think those are bolters, I think there’s two types of disintegrators, one underhanded that looks like a heavier version and one carried like a normal rifle  

If you look at the Iron Warriors side some of the guns look like they are shoulder mounted.

They don’t appear to be shoulder mounted to me to be honest..?

On Discord someone uttered this rumor:

Spoiler

All the major factions (Marines, SAux, Mech, Talons in whatever form they come in) will have books on launch

Make of that what you want but if true all libers are oor the can.

But on the other hands it could mean that they got a major overhaul ans that the new edition will be different enough to justify new books.

That makes me feel better about the Arcane Journal rumor not being true. It would take YEARS to get 18 out plus whatever crumbs they send to Mech, Solar, and Talons.

I’ve seen a rumor that major changes are happening to list building that will make all the books pretty unusable. Guess we’ll find out soon enough. It would be a really bad move though if GW just released all those nice new mech kits and made them unplayable 4 months later

If true that we get the major libers day one it still is annoying but at least the rules are available

Could be that they've gone similar with the volkites having Charger (medium), Caliver (large) and Culverin (heavy)?

That's why I'm doubtful it'll be a repeat of 2.0's launch, with Mech and SA/Talons being SOL for three-six months respectively; back when 2.0 launched the amount of people collecting those armies AND who didn't have a Legiones collection to pass the time with could probably be measured in less than a percentage. 

 

This time around, they've actually got quite a lot of Mech and Solar Auxilia players, a number of whom may not have a Legiones force in reserve, so there's much more impetuous to have everything playable at launch.

 

Then again, there is the Armies of Middle-Earth situation currently ongoing, but I suspect that has a lot more to do with GW having to rush the new MESBG edition out to coincide with War of the Rohirrim than anything else.

It seems with HH 2.0 and HH 3.0 Gee-Dubbs are marketing towards Rogue Trader grognards despite this not being a remastered Rogue Trader game. HH 2.0 had the Beakie marines and HH 3.0 the Saturnine Terminators. I wonder what will be left for HH 4.0?

HH has always been aimed at the older gamers.
