Yes, custom tags are going away with Invision v5: Announcement here.

Gonna pour one out for my Lootas and Burnas Boyz, RIL*. Though I have hope for new Lootas, I'll admit! *Rest in Legends

You can see a few alternate biker bitz on the pic from today's datasheet teaser article.

Paired Krumpas are reroll hit and wound rolls on the Nobz datasheet

Love these new Orks, looking forward to gettin' my klaws on 'em!

I like d12s as they give more options for randomization - you can easily simulate a d2, a d3, a d4, and a d6 with a d12. Would that be strictly necessary in modern 40k? Probably not, but more varied tables of effects could be fun, imagine a d46 table, in the same vein as the existing d33, d36, and d66 tables of yore. A first draft of a revised game could start with "translating" the existing mechanics from d6s to d12s (e.g. Marine BS goes from 3+ on a d6 to a 5+ on a d12 which yields the same chance of hitting). A second pass could widen the options available, e.g. regular Guardsman hits on a 7+, an elite Guardsman hits on a 6+, regular Marine hits on a 5+, elite Marine hits on a 4+, etc. That said, I do recognise that the increased granularity is probably more suited to a somewhat smaller scale game than 40k - you'd probably be using a few squads vs a whole army.

Love the new Boyz! The Waaagh! grows!

Given that "... there is significant controversy over the impact of AI/LLM..." did the leadership team think to consult with the wider community? Was there a poll or something that I missed? I come to the B&C to engage with and see the human-created works of the hobby, not the output of some abominable intelligence. Now, I am broadly familiar with how the process of setting the guidance goes behind the scenes, so I know there's been discussion by the moderation team, but I really think you should have brought it up with the overall community as well. I'll be blunt, my answer to "should we allow generative AI content" is an emphatic "No", but this feels like something the wider community should have some say in.

With the drop in points for the Stompa - I have a very silly 1000 point list that is: 1 Warboss in Mega Armour 1 Big Mek in Mega Armour 3 Meganobz 3 Meganobz 1 Stompa

Much as I agree with the initial premise, I doubt that GW will want the hassle of trying to help individual people with failed prints, printer troubleshooting, etc. Even if GW were to partner with a 3d Printer company (let's say Prusa, for fun), are their new partners prepared to deal with the influx of hobbyists? Will GW want to have an "official Warhammer" branded product and will their erstwhile partners want to provide such? Will they be able to develop a Warhammer branded resin? Would it even be any good? Of course, this also supposes that GW deems it cost-effective to provide stl files for upgrade sprues, etc. While I have no doubt that the internal design process throws off all kinds of "almost good enough" things that could get turned into cheap digital files, will these be acceptable enough to be Warhammer branded? It also supposes that GW returns to a more forgiving modularity for building minis, is this something GW will want to do? Much as I would totally be on board for selling stls under a resurrected Forge World brand, I get the sense this plan is probably too high-risk, low-reward for GW. I think the vast majority of their customers are content with the existing process of buying, building, and painting minis. Though, I will admit, I do like your vision of a more customer friendly future, @Evil Eye. Perhaps we'll get there someday!

You've probably run into the issue described here: I imagine @Brother Tyler will be able to fix it when he gets online.

Yep, I definitely want the Ork half of this box set, I like all of the models they've shown off!

I've largely sat out this edition, but I'm tempted to pick up this book-set to see what the Orks are up to. Might actually be fun in the lead-up to the new edition.

Now, there's a git that did a sweet jump and punched out a titan!

I think Wazdakka looks fine - I'll gladly pick him up!
