Trying to force the weeklong event is making these streams awful. Could have had 3 packed days
Black Library event may have more new models than the 40k day
This is why I went demons, I can play both sides ;)Anyone else kinda get the vibe that the 40k side of things is kinda comprised of the b-team at this point? Like, AoS gets so much cool stuff and 40k is struggling on everything but the Black Library offerings.

Your treason against the greater good will not be forgotten, but you probably made the right call.
Yeah. Like, people meme about it, but if you're an AoS fan of any given faction, you're eating well. All kinds of cool stuff on a pretty regular basis. 40k feels like it's stagnated to a much greater degree. We've had 2 editions in a row headlined by Space Marines, and when stuff for other factions does come out, it's not hyped up nearly as much. There's just fewer toys to go around, it feels.So you know those collectible coins you can get from warhammer stores? They have released siz of them so far.
These are the factions repped. Daughters of Khaine, Death Guard, AoS slaanesh, Lumineth, Chaos Demons (bela'kor), and Ghal Maraz (soulblight).
So I'm definitely feeling what you are feeling. Especially, since people think about AoS 3.0 push is happening.
I guess, but if it's Orks, we've already seen a bunch of those signature models too. It's just a mess.I mean to be fair that is a huge sisters release, and I guess if there is a huge amount of Orks to show off on Friday I can understand them not wanting to overshadow one another. Probably should not have shown so much in advance.
Just most likely means no World Eaters this time
Maybe we will be getting the Tanith First and Only tomorrow

I'd be very surprised if 40k doesn't introduce a new faction this edition but I feel like they are kinda trapped in having so many huge factions desperately in need of a range update after 20-30 years of minis. At this rate it's going to take them 3 years just to get everyone up to par in 9th.Anyone else kinda get the vibe that the 40k side of things is kinda comprised of the b-team at this point?

The greater good is still good for me in Killteam lolYour treason against the greater good will not be forgotten, but you probably made the right call.

For the past four years or so, the community has voted a 40k model as the model of the year, over any AoS models.
It is worth bearing in mind, however, that the 40K playerbase is still quite a bit bigger than AoS afaik.
I would think most people would just vote the coolest model, but this is very subjective. :)
In any case, 40k is hardly struggling. It is thriving.
To me it feels like all of those are huge projects they keep avoiding, so I'm expecting a big blowout on the Orks later this week. Fingers crossed for the core infantry to get a refresh. Maybe it's a lot to expect them to get their entire product line up to date within one edition though.
Yeah, I think this is part of what's fueling my current dissatisfaction; we'd already seen most of the new Sororitas toys, and we've probably seen most of what they're going to do for Orks. The dripfeed of release undercuts the presentation; I would've much preferred if they kept it to new stuff and breezed through the things they've already shared rather than dwelling on them.Err, I think we saw the new ork boys already no? They're not really getting a refresh perse but um Beast Snaggad. (with a new warboss - which I think was the biggest hole in the orc lineup).

I think the issue was more that AoS has gotten the lions share or the new releases asides from space Marines and Necrons, and are are likely to get Space Marine and Necrons sized releases Sooner than later with AoS 3.0
That's true.I think the issue was more that AoS has gotten the lions share or the new releases asides from space Marines and Necrons, and are are likely to get Space Marine and Necrons sized releases Sooner than later with AoS 3.0
Ah I must have missed that, thanks!Err, I think we saw the new ork boys already no? They're not really getting a refresh perse but um Beast Snaggad. (with a new warboss - which I think was the biggest hole in the orc lineup).
I only started playing WH40k around 4 - 5 years ago for the first time, and I feel like there is constantly something new. Since I started we have seen the release of: Magnus the Red, Guilliman, Mortarion and new Death Guard range, new Space Marines range, new Adeptus Custodes faction, new Imperial Knight models, new Chaos Knights faction, a lot of new stuff for Genestealer Cults, Orks, and Ad Mec. More recently, new Necrons and Sisters of Battle. That's a lot.
AoS is a new game, every faction range is completely new at release. It is easy to perceive this as AoS getting a lion share of the new stuff but I don't think that is correct.
With WH40k, they need to update the older armies one by one, without removing those armies from the game for the next few years or so. Not that different from what they are essentially doing with AoS by introducing reimagined Warhammer Fantasy factions to AoS.
Ah I must have missed that, thanks!
edit- I agree with what you said about the Palatine too. I don't think they needed to reintroduce all the half dozen Sororitas kits they've shown over the last few months, it felt a bit indulgent when they said they've got 'lots to show'. If Friday is similarly mostly the ork stuff they've already shown plus a new kit or two, that'll make a total of what, 4 previously unseen 40K miniatures? That's less than the entire new vampire lineup that took up only half of the AoS show.
