Sweet baby Jesus, who do I have to kill to get that flyer
ReplyDeleteI'm actually disappointed they are staying with seventh, I didn't expect that I would feel that way. I go to a lot of tournaments that allow 30k to play against 40k. I'll never get to hit Eldar with a flamer support squad again :(
ReplyDeleteAnyone with a 7th edition Eldar army book can still play you in HH, with their eldar..not at tournaments perhaps.
DeleteAll i play is tournaments. Getting a game day with the guys takes up most of the day away from the family. If I go to a tournament it's only a couple more hours and I get in three games. Plus I get to eat out and maybe win prizes
Deletenow there is a different ruleset I expect the tournament scene near you will include specialist 30K tournies for you to play at.
DeleteThose Aquilon Terminators look amazing, I want them sooooooo much. 8^|_ Too bad the Solerite claws don't have the eagle talon shape I expected but it's nothing I couldn't fix. Valdor's mini looks overdone as hell as it should be, the hype is unbearable ! Thank you Bunnies for your cover, you're the best as usual !
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteHH is staying in 7th edition!!!!!!!..I have never been so happy to have been wrong about something..8th edition is god awful, i was so sure that the HH would be crossed over to 8th edition...thank you soooo much FW, I can keep playing the game I love.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if those Sicaran turrets will release separately, or just as full tank kits
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm hoping
DeleteBased on their answer to me regarding the Caladius-Annhilator, full kits only.
DeleteI'm pretty sure they are full tanks. Otherwise people will need to buy the core Sicaran and then buy a Punisher or Omega turret upgrade pack. Too many variables. Too many codes.
DeleteWell that's put the breaks on my 30K projects, I put up with 7th but it's not a good game, clunky and based around all or nothing systems. Hopefully this is temporary. I'll be back when they update to the better rules.
ReplyDeleteYup me too
Delete7th is a great game..all of my HH projects are back on..just took everything off of Ebay that had not already sold.
DeleteI can see both sides. I am happy to continue with 7th, it has more tactical depth than 8th by the looks of it. A new version of it could iron out some of the wrinkles.
DeleteI am happy to continue my projects now. I am looking forward to 8th too however. It will be good to have some simple rules for beer fueled malarky but more complex ones for a deeper HH game too.
I don't want to play 7th Ed anymore. I was really looking forward to HH going to 8th ed. really disappointed by this
ReplyDeleteThrilled by this..couldn't be happier. 8th edition is God awful.
DeleteHow is it awful you never played it. Go troll elsewhere.
DeleteI feel the same way man. Was so looking forward to 8th. And yes, ignore the troll.
Deleteyou caan look forward to it, praise the new edition, but I have to be quiet about my opinion ..lulzzz.
DeleteIt's awful because I haven't liked one thing about the new edition that GW has released.
Do you know who is a Valdor's sculpt? Thank you for cover this Warhammer Fest once again.
ReplyDeleteSteve W.
Deletenice to see some bits for Sisters of silence finally
ReplyDeleteThat's a surprising step, staying with 7th edition rules!! Sicarians were unexpected, although the 1st looks rather unsightly given the weapon placement.

ReplyDeleteJust woke in the US to hear the sad new about Alan. At least he left us with a rule book to continue HH in the way he designed it to be played. Blue Skies Alan.
ReplyDeleteThe Sicaran are interesting... is the first one a rotor cannon/assault cannon? Or a flamer weapon? Maybe it's just me, but it seems you'd want 2 assault cannons on the turret, and one plasma one the other turret. Just me I guess seems backwards, but they do look kool, and can't wait for them to be released.
ReplyDeleteAlan Bligh dies and HH stays in 7th edition....by far the worst day of the year for me.
ReplyDeleteNow when they/you say HH is not going to 8th... is this a permanent thing? HH will never go 8th style? Or is this what GW said when they announced 8th on the community site, that 8th won't effect HH "AT THE MOMENT" and that this new HH RULEBOOK, is the holdover til FW can adapt the profiles of their models to the new ruleset? This might take some time (at least a year or so?) and then they will adapt it for 8th? Just curious
ReplyDeleteIn the seminar he said that 30k would develop separately to 40k from this point. The 8th edition rules didn't give them the depth to have differences between all 18 Legions, whereas a streamlined 7th edition does allow this.
DeleteWhich actually makes a lot of sense.
DeleteI can respect that decision. I like the reasoning. Just wondering if GW is still going to continue supporting HH with plastic units/vehicle now that the two games are going to be very different and GW has their new scale they'll be moving foreword with? I hope they do continue.

ReplyDeleteI think it's fair to say 30k and 40k have been different games for a long time. It's just that they shared a common-core rule set. 30K having a seperate set of rules that people have already been playing it with, is no different to AoS and 40K having different rulesets. If you just simply look at it as a different game with a different set of rules then it isn't such a bad thing. I personally am glad it's not going to go across to 8th. At least not in the next year I would imagine. With Angelus pretty much written and Inferno still being fresh it would have been almost gaming suicide. But that's my personal opinion obviously.
ReplyDelete30K will remain as it is and people will be happy. Some will not. But if you've already been playing it under the 7th ruleset I find it hard for people to complain that it hasn't transitioned.
Wow AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI hope someone asked how it'd be different from 7th ed. 40k - multiple meltabombs, new psychic powers?
ReplyDeleteThis news really made my day and thanks for the great coverage guys. BTW, does anyone have any information about the new flyer? Is it a fighter or a transport, is it for sisters or Custodes? Also, is there any word on when Valdor will be availiable? Thanks in advance
ReplyDeleteGunship with transport capacity for Terminators though I may have misheard the last bit. Mid size between Thunderhawk and Storm Eagle.
DeleteOh and it's for the Custodes. No word on Valdor, looks like a digital file only at the moment.
DeleteThanks for the quick reply. Between Thunderhawk and Stormeagle... crap. That means it'll be around 500-600£ pricewise probably. Oh my poor wallet 😁
DeleteNew Thunderhawk is £450, so it should be less than that.
DeleteYour wallet should be a little happier ;)
Yes it is. Plus, I just realised I mixed up Stormbird and Stormeagle again :)
DeleteGetting stuck with 7ths crap might just have killed all my heresy keen, with how solid 8th ed is turning out to actually be :/
ReplyDeleteHow in gods name could they not provide enough differences between legions in 8th? Just do exactly the same thing they did in 6th or 7th!
I would think it would be down to the reduced rule set in 8th making it harder for the legions to be more unique. With initiative gone and bonuses for charging (to name a few) it would make a lot of the legion rules obsolete and no obvious replacement for them in the new rule set!
DeleteA very good point Darien.
ReplyDeleteI see it like this:
30k is a game where the SLIGHTEST bonus or advantage can make all the difference. The 7th edition rules provided a building point for heresy so that it could develop this style of play. Horus Heresy has definitely become its own sort of game in a way, more than just a supplement for 40k. However! 8th edition is very different from 7th, which is not a bad thing. I'm personally looking foreward to what 8th will bring, but at the same time I recognize that 30k still needs some nuance...something that 8th is meant to actually remove in a way. GW said themselves that 8th will be a simpler game, and heresy is not a simple game. When it does come, 8th ed 30k should be good, but for now, an actual streamlined version of 7th should be fine. After all, GW started out by calling 8th "streamlined 7th" before it turned out to be anything but. So we shall see. For now, let's ride the wave, and try not to make it salty water
Just read the awful news about Alan Bligh: I hope we're just being trolled, but it seems not...
ReplyDeleteAlan was the best writer Games Workshop have ever had. He didn't invent the art of fantasy world building in the style of a historian, and he wasn't the first to apply it to the 40k setting... but he was the best at it. The Horus Heresy books are his magnum opus, and the greatest works of "historical non-fiction-fiction" yet written. Everything he wrote added DEPTH to the setting. There are many writers in the setting, all adding detail and breadth; but only Alan was capable of adding poignancy without pathos, violence without gratuity. He clearly understood the 40k setting better than anyone, and I have been lost in admiration for years over how seamlessly he blended this complex, messy, multi-author setting into a coherent and unified whole. His writing had real love poured into it; love that was combined with intellect and humanity.
I am hugely upset by this desperately sad news, and my heart goes out to Alan's family and friends at this shocking loss. Forge World, Games Workshop...the whole WORLD is a greyer place for his passing.
Any new news on angelus?
ReplyDeleteThe third Variant for the Sicaran Battletank with the Sicarius Launcher was called the Arcus. ;)
