40k Rumors: An interesting set of discussions

 

Im not certain how much I buy into this one, but its worth noting. The big thing that throws up a red flag on this set of rumors is Adeptus Titanicus going away. 


The Rumor Compiliation along the right hand side of the site has been updated. I will keep this rolling and up to date as rumors come and go.

So this is coming from a huge rumor bonanza at /tg/ linked by a frater in the Black Templars forum:

> Are the Kill Team Octarius box orks/DKoK gonna be re-released separately? If so when?
Soon™ (Probs within 2-3 months)


> Will GW ever switch to dropper bottles?
Not for their regular paint range, pots are easier to use for yung'uns.
I have it on good authority that the 'air' paints will be put in dropper bottles at some point in the next year.

>New Eldar releases?
I don't know much. I know the Codex is in production because lore sections were sent to translators. The rumour engine is definitely the Avatar of Khaine though.

>Any models getting their prices lowered?
This may surprise you but there is going to be a regional repricing once a few logistics things are actual sorted. The AU, NZ, and JP prices are set to come down a bit and be more in line with Europe.

>Are the Warhammer Plus animators being treated well?
They are on good money, a pretty high pay banding. I can't speak for conditions however.

Quote

>will battlefleet gothic ever get a reboot?
Nothing on my radar.

>why is Kill Team so overpriced and how bad is the price gouging/milking going to be with future releases?
Eh, I think the price of KT boxes and models is fine.
However, I think our book pricing is egregious and needs to come down.

>are truescale firstborn marines ever happening?
No.

>are the artificer brushes produced by Winsor & Newton?
Artificer brushes are W&N.
Acrylics and regular brushes are made by a smaller UK firm.

Nothing on my radar [on changes to us and CA prices]. Apparently, the concern is that regional high pricing due to shipping and import nonsense is impinging on the growth of the hobby in AU, NZ, JP and the company is looking to mitigate that,

It isn't Coat D'arms [that make the older brushes].
It is a small firm that isn't well known and they are family run. I am not revealing the name as I don't want "/tg/ BOYCOTT GW " sending them censored.gif. This has soured relations with partners in the past.

>do you have any news on upcoming video games or why darktide got delayed?

No idea on Darktide.
Licensing is finally trying to expand away from mobile games and are looking at AAA games with PC and console releases.

Also, Dawn of War isn't dead. Have patience and thou shalt be rewarded.

>Any chance we'll get more Sisters of Silence options for Kill Team
Sisters of Silence is getting something, I'm not sure what, but something with the next Custodes codex.

>to add to this anything about the upcoming killteam boxes?
Tau and Sisters are getting a box. Also, there will be a new Harlequins unit released through the Kill Team line.

Also, forgot to mention, Adeptus Titanicus is getting squatted after a final release wave in 2022, I wouldn't invest unless you really love the models.

>Was it true they were testing the waters with titanicus to gauge interest in an Epic 40,000 re-release? Is that canned along with Adeptus Titanicus?

I was under the impression that Titanicus and Aeronautica were going to "dimensional merge" into a new epic. Not happening now lol.


>Will we ever get non digital good art again?

A lot of our art is still analog, look closely.

>Is there ever any talk about 3dprinting cutting into profits or threatening the company? What about legal censored.gif with other companies producing totaly not GW models, theres still loads around doing exactly what chapter house did.

Not really. We know 3d printed alternative models exist but it's something that less than 5% of hobbyists actually partake in. They also tend to be the most loudmouth cancerous :cusss so it's quite nice not having them come to our stores.

As for parts etc, keep an eye out for the future, you may see 3rd parties being partnered with to produce shoulder pads, conversion kits, customisation accessories in the future. An idea that is on the table and being pretty heavily debated at the moment.

>Will it still be Terminators?
Yes, with a twist on the Tyranid side.

>And if so which chapter?
Any chapter you want babe.

>What's the general reaction to the reddit boycott from GW?
>How do company reacted to backlash due to recent IP infrigment changes?
Kill Team numbers are looking good. The fact is that we are quite happy for the "REEEE Boycott GW!!" fandom crowd to just remove themselves from the community. Improves it for actual hobbyists.

>How is Necromunda doing?
Fine

>Is Titanicus really going to be squatted?
Apparently

>Anything going on with Heresy?
November


>Are Guard getting new sculpts?
A few new models

>Are Eldar getting plastic aspect warriors?
Yes, 2 or 3 types with the codex, rest to come out through Kill Team.

No idea.







>New flavors of guard? IE: Mordians, Catachan ect?
Yes, in the form of upgrade sprues.

No.

Yes.

>Are we getting a new Primarch for the loyalists?
>Any possibility of seeing Vect coming back to the table?
Not heard anything

>Are Harlequins going to get updated or be rolled into craftworlds like scions into guard?
The codex merge is bull:cuss.

>Is Aeronautica dead in the water?
It breaks even, probs not getting any more after latest wave.


>What army is selling the worst in 40k and AoS?
40k is Genestealer Cults by a wide margin. AoS it is probs Deepkin but not by much.

>Can you tell us something in the new black templars codex that will signal you are not just larping?
Emperors Champion can give invul save through an Aura.
Crusaders can deal lots of mortal wounds.
