Edit- no datasheets, but it does update the Ultramarines supp.
I think we'll almost certainly get a new faction. I don't think it'll be in January thoughBolter and chainsword has a discussion over a brand new xenos line being added, that got locked eventually.
I do wonder if we will get a new faction in 9th or will they finally fix the ranges that need to be fixed.
A new faction should be introduced early in the new edition, so it might be that...along with alienating the xenos players already pissed off that they have to wait half a year at least to get a new codex.I think we'll almost certainly get a new faction. I don't think it'll be in January though
Hah, yeah, who knows. I hope they keep up a high release rate. Obviously the marine supplements are coming out all at once but even a new codex a month is still gonna take 18 months to get through the restA new faction should be introduced early in the new edition, so it might be that...along with alienating the xenos players already pissed off that they have to wait half a year at least to get a new codex.
I used to make them out of eldar scouts and Dark Elf Cold One knights, back in the day. There have been some wonderful golden demon entries over the years too, all based on like one piece of concept art. It's obviously something that people have a lot of fondness for given it's mentioned in every single rulebook and eldar codex since 2nd edition, not to mention some of the novels.It's a very appealing proposition for long time fans and new hobbyists alike. It exists in the lore, even turning up fairly prominently in The Infinite and the Divine which is excellent by the way
I think they'd have to fantasy them up like they did with the lizards and make them look more agile and alien, just so they can defend the IP more easily. Ultimately 'Exodite Dragon Knights' was the original term, I'd love to see fantasy pterodactyl beasts like in Avatar, or cavalry beasts that are like velociraptors but looking even more elegant, like the riders.There is an element of feel bad having four (five?) Aeldari factions in the game but Bracciosaur artillery is such a no brainer lol
They are called the Anerith or something similar, and are apparently connected to one of the unknown Xenos species on that unique artwork in the latest rulebook.
Really liking these Slaanesh minis from Warhammer Underworlds:

Bloodbowl is really easy to get into. You've got a dozen models out of only four or five different types with four stats each, once you've read how to move, block, catch and throw, that's pretty much it. Much like Space Hulk it's an absolute classic of an asymmetrical board game that's timeless for a reason- it's not overly complex and still allows plenty of room for creative painting and every game to be different.That bloodbowl trailer was fantastic. Interested in picking up the kit. Is it a hard game to get into, if you were to play casually with family?
Been interested in Blitz Bowl for a while. Seems silly that it is only available in USA and Germany. Not willing to pay the customs and shipping for an English version.

It is super easy to play it just have a lot of rules that you probably have never seen in your life lol.That bloodbowl trailer was fantastic. Interested in picking up the kit. Is it a hard game to get into, if you were to play casually with family?

That is one shiny bunch of orks. The pool of blood is a nice touch!
I think there were new nids in 7th. Not bad, considering they're Xenos!
Eh, they're supposed to be an army - they're really very limited in that context. Not to mention there are more named Harlequin characters in the Imperium than in the Harlequins.I wouldn't describe harlequins as undersupported. They are just innately a small faction. There's only one model I think they are missing and that's a great harlequin.
Personally, more than fleshing out existing auxiliaries, I'd prefer if we got a bunch of new ones. Kroot and Vespid and Gue'Vesa should be present, but I'd like to see most of the models be new species.I've said it in this thread so many times- the prospect of Tau being expanded and having numerous existing lines redone is the most exciting release prospect for me in 40K.
Kroot need new characters, new units (giving the Tau more CC options?), bring back plastic versions of the old Forgeworld units, revamp the existing Kroot Mercs kit, and redo the Krootox and Kroot hounds (probably some of the worst 40K sculpts still on sale).
Tau need more character models, and sniper drones replacing with a plastic kit (and any other lingering resin kits).
Vespid need plastic versions (perhaps with a troop kit that makes two different units), and some sort of character/HQ.
Human allies needs to happen (in conjunction with a new Guard codex and accompanying kits).
Dream material would be miniatures for one of the mentioned (or even new created) other allied xenos fighters.
I don't even want to know when the last tyranid units were released.
GSC don't count cuz they already have bikers.
Was that when the Sporocyst released? I could have sworn that released more recently. Though I guess one could technically count the Patriarch as a new model if they were being pedantic.Someone on bolter and chainsword did a count back in June. There have been 126 new space marine kits since the last tyranid release in 2014 :D
