Other rumours:

 

Great news, there are 2 french guys now. The new guy confirmed a lot of what the first french guy said and added more details to PA2 several weeks before pre-order. BTW, he was right about everything.

I'm going to paraphrase him and also, I'm not going to tell his name because of what happened to the first french guy (he doesn't talk much anymore unfortunately).

1) Neither the first guy nor the second said anything about Tyranids. Sorry

2) The second guy confirmed that BA will get Combat Doctrines and what they get will make BA "closer to -regular- SMs" and their bonus will trigger in Assault Doctrine.

3) He also said that "a lot of what is discussed right now about Chapter Approved 2019 is wrong".

And now the big bomb: PA will be over in June. V9 will come soon after PA is over.

[Kain Mor]

If those are accurate I think I might just have to sit 2020 out entirely. We’ll see though, I’m hoping that GW might have caught on before CA2019 went to print.

Thanks for posting the actual pictures man! Forum kept telling me I wasn't allowed. Probably was trying to do it wrong.

Did the first French guy get outed to GW?

I don't think they'd say so publicly but who knows. Kinda lines up with the rumors that 9th edition is not far behind PA.

 

"2) The second guy confirmed that BA will get Combat Doctrines and what they get will make BA "closer to -regular- SMs" and their bonus will trigger in Assault Doctrine."

 

Hype?

[Mekhitar]

This game is hurting as it is - I hope GE the prescience to realize what these rumored changes will do.

[DuskRaider]

Oh good lord, Marines are getting a points drop?

[BrainFireBob]

Long as 9th isn't a fundamental rewrite, and codices carry over. 3rd and 7th both hurt.

If it's true, it's absolutely, positively, 100% going to be like the second edition for AoS, so don't worry about 9th changing things up too much.

 

If anything it should be a nice cleanup for the rules and an exciting time for models.

 

What was the previous rumour we had for 9th? Necrons and who else as the starter?

My guy is saying 9th is coming next year, he gave me all the faith and fire stuff before it was even mentioned.

[DeadFingers]

Was that the same guy that said your "obsession might be satisfied"?

 

Still keeping quiet on that one?

DORN LIVES!

[Aothaine]

This is looking great! REALLY like the rumor that cult troops are going to 2W each. I will spend the extra points for 2W Berserkers! Holy god yes! Please be true!

[wildweasel]

Then there’s this, contradicting the shield drone changes and dropping Cultists back to 4 PPM:

Cult troops still have 2W. I'm good.

[Reclusiarch Krieg]

Iron Hands are not good enough so SM get wholesale point drops? Say whaaaaa...

[Triszin]

:/

Kinda explains why they are radio silent on chapter approved then...

Glad to hear some of the changes in it

[Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra]

2 wound Plague Marines?

 

There are no words on this earth to describe my tumescent state.

Not really - it’s not been announced in a Coming Soon article and is not the kind of major product to get any kind of teasers ahead of that.

[Schlitzaf]

I hope we see point drops for Crusader Squads

Fixed that for you, you were getting things mixed up with Slaanesh there

Don't knock it before you try it?

[Subtleknife]

Whilst I love primaris and think the god specific legions should be 2w a model to me this shows how GW have written themselves into a corner with primaris. I feel normal chaos and loyal marines should have 2w as well.

I hope 9th they finally ditch igug as well. Some interesting times are a foot that is for sure.

[toaae]

A four point Grot would just be the worst. They already compare poorly to... well, anything, really. They are the lowest quality troop in the game. Filling a detachment slot isn't a justification for a premium points cost.
