Most people nowadays don't get the meaning of 'decimate' even...

**Overread**

It's also because the meaning of words shifts/drifts over time and even contextually/within different social groupings.

It can even get to a point where a word is hardly ever used for its original meaning and instead is used more for its "new" meaning.

A good example is the word "gay". At one time a word used to denote happiness. However today you are more likely to encounter its use as a term to describe people of a homosexual orientation.

Or like "Gatling"

Gatling was initially just the surname of the guy that invented the Gatling's Gun. But, because the surname sounded so much like an adjective, with the -ing ending and all, now, a 150 years or so later, "gatling" is used as an adjective that denotes something heavy and rapid-firing. Just look at 40k and Fallout.

Big box next week:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/07/24/sunday-preview-grab-your-machete-and-cut-your-way-into-the-lush-new-edition-of-warcry/

2 week window again for some reason? Also the box is limited, which i guess is logical if it's a 3 month window between each box. But no Legionnaires or centaur. Perhaps during the second week.

*Don't know why it keeps doing that.

**tneva82**

I'm sure dakka forum frontpage is pretty but whc article would be more convenient

**Kanluwen**

Preorder preview since Gideon copypasted the wrong window again

What a joke. They made such a big deal about showing off a third warband for release, and then the Legionnaires don't even show up for the preorders.

What a bloody waste.

Given the chaos marines mess, I'd say production or shipping problems. With GenCon possibly adding a 'oh, screw it' cherry to the top. And a layer of underestimating HH demand, at least for the older marks and the tanks.

Wouldn't that be a bit early considering that they're only just getting the launch box to preorder?

Nope, because their lead-in article for the Horns of Hashut, which teased the Legionnaires specifically says:

We’ve now had a closer look at the two warbands arriving in the new Warcry core set, but that’s not all. Join us later in the week as we reveal a third new Warcry warband arriving in time for The Heart of Ghur.

**Inquisitor Gideon**

The article said they were coming out at the same time as the big box. So it could be the second week they appear.

**Kanluwen**

Would be pointless to do it that way, since it's a two week preorder.

Ah well. Good for warcry fans. I was hoping for another delayed box but guess it's still a while.

Who knows? Maybe they want to spread it out over the two weeks. Guess we'll just have to see in a couple of weeks.

If the point is to have it come out with the box then it's bloody pointless to drag it out. Bad enough that there's more filler articles to come

**tneva82**

Gw didn't say it comes with them. Just shortly after.

**Inquisitor Gideon**

Well it's a two week pre-order isn't it? So if they have the box for the first and the legionnaires and centaur for the second week, then they're still coming out at the same time.

**His Master's Voice**

Every time I see the Rotmire, I like them more and more. There's a Slainesque quality to them, so much so that I can imagine them illustrated by Simon Bisley.

**MonkeyBallistic**

The box looks great and I might have got it if I wasn’t expecting the new Kill Team box. Money’s tight these days and I’m having to prioritise.

I quoted it. Saying "in time for" means that it comes with or before.

and again, pointlessly dragging it out.

**lord_blackfang**

I'm not feeling this one. The terrain is neat enough but the box will no doubt cost more than a 3d printer. I feel that's a good benchmark for what's a sensible purchase.

**DaveC**

Ugh Compendium incoming - could be worse at least everything is in 1 book rather than 4.

Of course, you’ll also be able to bring your warbands from the first edition of Warcry into the Gnarlwood. More than 800 fighters are getting fully updated rules, including new profiles and warband reactions, all of which you’ll be able to find in the Warcry Compendium, which will be out just a couple of weeks after the new boxed set. This weighty tome covers every warband from Grand Alliance Order, Chaos, Death, and Destruction, alongside their Allies, Monsters and Thralls. It’s the essential companion for any existing Warcry player.

Well spotted Kanluwen.

Hmmm. I guess WHC got it wrong again.

**lord_blackfang**

So reactions gonna be the new "thing" for GW for a while?

They said hot in heels. That means very close to it.

Definition of 'hot on sb's heels'
If you say that someone is hot on your heels, you are emphasizing that they are chasing you and are not very far behind you.

Dictionary. Handy thing that at finding out meaning of english words and phrases. Wanna try it one of these days.

**Kanluwen**

Horns of Hashut article is what I referenced. You're referencing a second article. The Horns of Hashut article literally set the tone for leading into the Legionnaires article.

We’ve now had a closer look at the two warbands arriving in the new Warcry core set, but that’s not all. Join us later in the week as we reveal a third new Warcry warband arriving in time for The Heart of Ghur. We’ll also have more Horns of Hashut rules for you next week – so sign up for our newsletter to ensure you don’t miss any of the latest Warcry updates.

Try to keep up.

It's only fixed for the AoS version, where it all blends together in one unit anyways. In Warcry only the leader can't be taken in multiples.

Sorry, I mean 'fixed' as in: you want a mutant? It's Fleshrend Goatlegs or nobody, buddy. No choice of what mutant you want to take (outside of hacking some limbs off yourself, of course... )

Ah, gotcha, thank you for the clarification.

Though I am a big fan of hacking limbs off to replace them...

I'm kind of wary on this too....though I do agree 1 book is a much better option than 4. I guess it depends on how the "new profiles" are. If they actually took the the time to rebalance the stats of some of the weaker factions (Iron Golems and Fyreslayers come to mind) and tone down some of the stronger stuff - I have absolutely no problem paying for a new book for the new edition. If it is literally just copy/pasted old stuff with a one or two sentence reaction that feels a bit cheap.

By the way did anyone notice in the war and fluff the mention of the Serephon void ship? 😳 Could this be a subtle hint of what may be finally returning to 40k?

More hopefully a hint of a model refresh for seraphon. I’m hoping something along the lines of a stargate look but Mayan instead of egyptian.

**Accolade**

I see a lot of the original warbands are sold out- no longer available on the US GW website. I wonder if this means they’re done producing them or if they’ll be repackaged.

Also makes me wonder if I should pick some of them up online before the prices balloon.
