New Edition, or Just Horus Hearsay?

[Misterduch]

I like the new stats etc, funnily enough it's the opposite of what poeple were affraid with the simplification of rules. Especially the weapon profiles are interesting. Damage profile tough...idk 

 

Edit: 5 libers day one, with Sallie and IW artwork on the cover lmao

The tactical statuses and returns of the mental stats seem vaguely reminiscent of some rumours talked about perhaps around 8th or 9th ed 40K, which was talking about an advanced 40K as an alternative mode

These will be day 1 drops with rules and lore 

 

 

All 5 will be day one drops.

 

PDF's for Custodes and Sisters will drop, and tome is coming later.

The new Liber covers look incredibly tacky and cheap.

[Matcap86]

Plastic solar Ogryns confirmed by that cover!

[Valkyrion]

Ooof, those covers are the only miss so far for me. Great that the libers are staying and will be day one.

I have to agree with you there

[Shovellovin]

Very cool that five of the Libers will be available day one. I wonder if the Talons of the Emperoe coming out later means that there will be a wave of plastic for that faction?

 

I would love for a plastic fellblade to be available soon. 

[Misterduch]

Plastic talons seems like a safe bet, I wouldn't be suprised if we see the Fellblade going to plastic either

 

edit: they are showing it off bois :)

Plastic Fellblade!

[Robbienw]

The Fellblade, yes!!!!!!

[Valkyrion]

Quad heavy bolter loadout!

[Marshal Loss]

That Fellblade kit is going to be insanely popular. What a joy to see it in plastic

[Valkyrion]

Can anyone with both a Baneblade and a Deimos Predator say whether or not the Fellblade looks bigger than the baneblade?

[Lord Marshal]

Box confirmed to NOT be a FOMO item - it'll be a regular range item.

This box is going to be a "Range item" and be available for the whole edition, not limited.

100mm dreadnought base. Is that daemon primarch size?

[SkimaskMohawk]

On one hand, I'm glad the new edition isn't just a FAQ of 2nd in the way 7th was for 6th. On the other, what was so wrong with keeping the base rules of 3rd-7th?  TOW is a massive success because it allows people with nostalgia for the old system to basically play the old system. This is like a hybrid of necromunda, modern 40k, and the old system, which may be a huge draw to many, but isn't what I was hoping for in a new edition. 

 

We'll see how the rules look, but my expectations are pretty low. Their changes from 1st to 2nd weren't very well implemented, and they seemingly did even more drastic changes again. Reinventing instead of refining is a weird choice GW has been making a lot for the last few years.

 

Model wise, a lot looks great in better detail (or not in their saly scheme), but I'm not a fan of chungus praetor being the same size as Vulcan, or maximum over dreadnought

It's armigar sized, which the Saturian dread is as big as from the looks of it.

[painting.for.my.sanity]

Proper laser destroyer sponsors!

[Shovellovin]

Hopefully Blackshields transfers come back. I snoozed on them last time. 
 

All of these new models are really looking good. I am looking forward to starting a new legion.
