I hate this about the fandom, I can't click random reports or paint tutorial because there are some of that kind ;_;

So I managed to get a group of 12 people together to play 9th on Sunday. I will gladly give feedback if you guys are interested.
The hype in my gaming club is amazing, and strangely much bigger than for 8th.
I really hope GW stays on this course and continues to listen to their customers and improve on the good base they have established with 8th.

I can't beleive a few of my tinfoil hat predictions/expectations became true.
True:
- obsidian working on a openworld aaa rpg skyrim like set in Pillars
- Warhammer 40k will be present in someway at the event
I feel this is the toe steps.
The Grandfather of scifi is arriving to the forefront soon.
There will no doubt be a AAA game within hte next 10 years set in 40k that will be halo 1 levels massive
working on my count as blade guard
I was watching the stream today with a gaming buddy and joked that it looked like someone had ripped off the 40K plasma gun, and then the voiceover said "Lord Inquisitor" and I was like "OMG whaaaaaat?!" - I had been hoping for a Vermintide 3 announcement sometime soon but this was even better! Didn't expect it at an Xbox event honestly, and I had literally been playing Vermintide 2 with the same friend before the stream started :D
Snipe and Wib are good folks for sure. Nothing I've seen from them or heard from them comes across as the fashy nonsense of an Arch-REDACTED. They deffo make jokes about the insane fascism of 40K and how it applies more and more to current politicians.
Yeah, they're super cool. And they're definitely left leaning politically from looking at their twitters.
There's only a handful of really bad Warhammer content creators out there. Just steer clear of Arch Warhammer and Commisar Gamza (known shit heads) and you should be fine.
My guess is that you play as a member of the recon squad from the trailer during the tutorial, same way you play Kruber in the Vermintide 2 intro. Everybody else gets killed off but you survive and join the rest of the Inquisitor's retinue. That squad wouldn't be too bad, but I'd prefer some weirdness. The Ogryn is good, but I'd hope for a sanctioned Psyker and maybe a Sister or Ecclesiarch, a Xenos mercenary - all of the guys in that keyart kinda run together thematically (except the large lad, ofc). One of the cool things about Vermintide was how distinct all the characters looked, acted, and felt.There's some speculation that the trailer guys are false protagonists to be killed off in a later trailer, and the characters in the key art:
are the real team. So that'd be:
- Pyroclast
- Ogryn
- Some sort of guardsman
- A sniper?
Shouldn't be hard, there's so much craziness in the 40k world to draw from. Servitors alone give you one hundred different permutations.
The 40K app is out now, at least on Android.
Edit: looks like the army builder isn't finished yet. There's a core rules pdf link and the 8th edition stuff available for subscribers. Wish they'd just made it like the AoS app instead.

So if we subscribe right now we get all the rules but no army building feature just yet? I'll probably wait until that before thinking about subscribing. If I remember correctly it read like the value of the app drops as the new Codices come out. We'll have everything at the start but then we'll have to buy the books as they get replaced right?
That's right I think. I'll buy my factions dex anyway, but I'm going to miss not having opponents rules.
Yep. When a new codex comes out, the 8th edition codex in the app will be replaced by the 9th edition codex, but the 9th edition codex needs to be bought separately, even when subscribed.
So even of you subscribe you won't get access to the new codices? This deal is getting worse all the time, lol.
Nope there's a one use code in each physical codex you buy. You register that with the app to get access to the codex digitally too.
So it's basically sub currently for:
1) Access to every 8th edition app at £4 a month
2) At some point each codex will be replaced with a 9th edition one
3) Then you'll need to buy a copy of that 9th Edition codex and register it to be able to use it in the app
You just get the 8th edition content which will gradually be removed over time as the 9th edition codexes release.
The army builder part of the subscription launches in August, iOS version of the app in the next day or so.

Yea, I may subscribe at the start since I have quite a few small forces I can play with. It'll make it easy to make 500-1,000 point lists for games at the house while we learn the rules. At some point though I see myself switching back to paper versions only unless the Army building portion of the app is extremely easy to use and read.
Someone saying the app's core rules is just a pdf link? Surely not this one https://warhammer40000.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ENG_40K9_Basic_Rules.pdf
It's that PDF, but not that link - that's on a proper CDN. Unbelievably, the actual app takes you to a copy inside a Chrome window that's literally hosted on Google Drive.
Yes, really.
That's a steal. The book is as pretty as big. And it's really, really pretty.
I building the Marines right now.
As always the quality is good and some of the best push fit they did so far. Everything fits super snuggly.
The Chapter approved is fantastic! It's smaller format and contains the base rules, terrain rules, tournament missions, secondary missions and all.
Also it has an appendix and overview over some rare rules and exceptions.
Sadly it doesn't replace the BRB completely as it doesn't contain Army building, open and narrative play.
Still great new format

Definitely an example of agile programming. Sounds like it was raced through to get it out this weekend.
I won't be getting my Indomitus box for while as it's made to order, but I'm so excited for it. I'm rapidly trying to come up with some background story and a paint schemes for a custom chapter of my own.
I've been following this person on Instagram- thunderwulfen. He's been making a custom chapter for months called the Soul Haunters. Between the paint style, basing, conversions and the backstory, I found it really inspiring:

I really don't get it either. This app was originally supposed to be coming for 8th edition too, what were they doing?
Typically when something like this happens it's because people just don't talk to each other enough. So many companies fuck up really basic stuff like... using prior products that worked to build future products that also work.
Adjust the contrast on your camera, you should be able to make out the detailMy Judiciar wanted to say hello.
And this is why I bought a 3d printer :P. Shame the resin detail on this size doesn't appear until it gets primed.
When the detail is this thin, is really, really hard to see in certain angles on resin.. Even with a better pic, looks much crappier than it actually is. Hell, it happens with the thing at hand :P
Here's with a Bladeguard mockup, for whose I'll need to reprint the swords, this time without hands so I just glue them to the models. I'm not fully decided on the Bladeguard heads tho, I'm torn between three models.
Anyways, I plan to prime and paint them this week, so there should be better pics soon. Or at least, I hope :P

Leaving my shop with my Indomitus and books. So giddy.
My friend wants my Space Marine half. EBay selling for 120 to 130. Giving slight friend discount, does $100 seem like a fair price?

Rule book has arrived. Man that's heavy. A lot bigger than I thought it would be. Fantastic amount of art and fluff.
How much is the rule book on its own in your territory? Minus that from the box price, then divide by 2 for the miniatures.

You get like 1,000 points worth of models in each side. He's getting a cracker deal if that's the good rate of the Space Marine half.
Rather than give him a big discount to him, ask him what he wants from the set. He doesn't have to pay as much, you have models left over that you can sell at market price online. It's a win/win.
I'd do this. Then if they want the entire marine half then stick with the $100 price. How much is the box in the US? $200?
$200 US though you can arguably get it for less from independent game stores. In Australia, I got around a 20% discount from my local store.
That's what I did too- 25% off, or £94 delivered instead of £125.
Looks like an October release for both books!
The missing tank was just announced! Looks incredible!

If the Deathwatch is using Codex Space Marines, doesn't that mean a huge expansion of their support element options? That's pretty cool. I guess it's like someone asked 'can Deathwatch use all the new kits?' and the reply was 'why the hell not?' :D
