Doghouse

I think this is an excellent argument for people jumping off the edition churn train and looking at other editions outside of tournament play.

Here's the original from White Dwarf 118 1989.

I bought a couple of Predators purely based on the rumours. I don't regret buying them but seriously had to put on the rose tinted glasses to pretend it came anywhere near to as nice a kit as the Heresy one!

It's possible I guess, I think it's probably more likely all will be counts as bolters. I am perfectly prepared to eat humble pie if they did open up those options and think that would be a good addition to them, never been a fan of the Heresy template for 40k squads.

And although I'm a bit of a broken record with this at this point, older editions do still exist where you can still use older models and a lot of the models you could still use in in late Heresy as well.

This genuinely sums up GW marketing reading about price increases complaints for me right now:

For me, regardless of inflation and all the other financial considerations, it ultimately comes down to instinct. I look at the price and ask myself, “Is it worth it?” That reaction is usually what decides whether I buy a kit. If you have been in the hobby long enough, the incremental increases eventually reach a point where the answer becomes, “Nah, I’m good.” I really wanted to start an Eldar army, but after seeing some of the current prices, I decided that I already had a ton of Marines and would simply stick with them. The same happened with Orks. When the new range appeared, I thought they would make a great opposing army for my 4th edition Marines, but I reached the same conclusion. At current prices, it simply was not worth the investment for me. I could wax lyrical about remembering when three Rhinos cost a tenner, or when three quid bought two Terminators and a complimentary dose of lead poisoning, but that is largely irrelevant beyond demonstrating my age and experience. We can freely discuss stocks, shares, investment, manufacturing costs and profit margins, (although I personally find it terribly sad that the hobby has reached that point) ultimately I think it comes down to where each person draws the line and says, “That is too rich for my blood.”

I'm having serious issues with this as well, It's taking about five minutes to load when it does work and then I have to wait for a couple of minutes before it will open the reply window. It's mostly having problems connecting and I can't upload attachments like images. The site is pretty much unusable for me most of the time. It's taken ten minutes to just get this far.

I think it is four or five years ahead if I remember right. It may have been even confirmed by Jes Goodwin in one of the early Vox Casts. I saw the Heresy 2.0 leaks about about six months before the leaked boxset image became common knowledge and then we had something like ten months wait on top of that. Two years is a fairly reasonable assumption.

I started painting a MK IV Forgeworld Dreadnought for the Red Scorpions. It's in really nice condition, if they ever did a plastic version I would buy them by the bucket load!

I know it won't happen because of the five models per sprue format, but I'd really like to see a heavy weapon and special weapon snuck in. if it is being redone. To be fair it could do with a do over given all the sights and ammo clips taking up dead space.

Not really for me, I like the visuals on the Kasrkin armour but the rest I'd personally pass on.

From what I can see I am not really a fan. They feel a bit too static, better to wait for the proper pictures I think.

But also how you still support it because you don't want to stop getting free stuff!

Yeah I was there when we went through that and despite not really being a fan of crossovers bought both. I think people are reading into what I have said a bit too seriously. Having played both the original Helldivers and Rogue Trader from day one I obviously have some skin in the game from a personal point of interest but I am just having some fun speculating. I know 99% of what I am saying will probably never happen and I know the history of the whys and whatnots and have been through the highs and lows of the game (die hard Creeker!) but just wanted to take part in the thread because it's not very often two things I am passionate about cross paths like this and I think the people of the B&C are great. So please don't feel like I am expecting to be taken seriously or have any insider knowledge of what is to come.
