Neither is very exciting to me, especially compared to Umbral Six or some of the recent anniversary miniatures.

Yeah, given it's the big forty this year, why no celebratory Harry the Hammer reimagined?

I'm still interested in the animations, but subscribing for a month if I feel like watching stuff is a far better proposition than keeping the annual subscription up.

I suspect it's intentional timing, but some people might hold on for the 40k app on the chance that the new nids rules will be included in the subscription, given the new book is going out to people and logically the GW instructions on buying/redeeming it will be the week after a lot of people will renew.

If they wait despite already known not to be so their fault.

Gw can't do everything on assumption somebody can't read.

They've not actually said how the new app, WH+, codexes and digital rules all fit together yet to be fair, unless you can link otherwise?

The Crimson Court is peak GW frustration.

Absolutely phenomial sculpts rendered useless by the insane scale creep. They are basically 8 ft tall.

Are you saying vampires can't be 8ft?

I feel like its hard to blend into society when all your kind is a head and half taller than mere mortals.



(Note that this is the older skeleton, not the current ones)

Yeah but AoS has both kinds - Vampires in hiding and Vampires 100% out in pride striding and drinking their way across the mortal realms .

If the Kasrkin had rules to use it as a character, I'd be interested. GW seems reluctant to give event-exclusive models rules lately.

I mean, is it really that surprising?

Some of the most common feedback you can see with these models is "why can't we get a generic version". I make that feedback myself!

Whilst neither are as “must have” for me as the Assassin and Terminator? They’re both more “i defo want that for my collection” than the preceding AoS offerings.

So defo getting both, just not prioritising one over the other.

Makes sense - if the rules are good to ok then people complain about unfair game advantage for a model they can't buy.
If the rules are trash people still complain because they still can't freely buy it.

That's why they work as named characters in name only; then just put them in as a regular trooper or leader model if you want to game with them.

Well, gave it a shot for a year (and I did like the chaos sorceress), but the return on the subscription is rather poor.

Not sticking around for a few tidbits tossed into a void, even by subscription entertainment standards.

I get you and Overread's points, and those are definitely valid. A generic Kasrkin Lieutenant would be great. But from the view of someone who already has a substantial Guard collection, this model is just a fancy Kasrkin Sergeant.

I'm in a similar boat...just looking at Mortens there as a nice diorama piece for next year!

Although I 100% believe that there should be a Kasrkin HQ choice...alongside of a DKoK Grenadier, and a Catachan Devil with units to boot.

I've been waiting for a Catachan Devil ever since GW soft-teased it "might" be some kind of super ancient Tyranid scout organism that went feral after being left without the Hive Mind for so long. Darn it I want a feral Tyranid to return to the Swarm

They probably want to sell that to everyone.

Kasrkin sergeant is ok. Not worth paying for a subscription given what a dumpster fire the list builder app is but maybe I'll pick one up on ebay at some point.

They listed ways how you get your codex access.

But yeah. Gw says "here　how you get your codex rules".

Player then goes "surely there's another way they didn't mention!".

Ah well. I have never had high hopes for　humans logic anyway.

Where have they confirmed the methods of obtaining them? They mentioned them in the stream with the road map they would come physically, digitally or via the app. That's it AFAIK.

They specifically said physically via cards or codex and digitally via app. It was not "digitally or via app" it was just exclusively app for digital.

That's not something they've written plainly anywhere though iirc is it? Nor have they explained how the books/app/wh+ may or may not overlap.

It's worth asking asmuch as it is almost a dead certain no, but they've never had in-app purchases for rules before, but if the army builder is in the sub then rules releases may be?

After a scam back through community posts I can only find reference to redeeming codes out of the book.

Not everything is in writing. They stated it on their stream.

Well, that’s my subscription gone through again.

Think I’ll get the Vamp for free, and pay for the Kasrkin


Automatically Appended Next Post:
That’s that sorted. Also been able to order last year’s AoS model too.

Aos 2nd ed you could buy ebook via app.

So rules in sub by allowing to pay more for codex?

Every codex via sub isn't happening.

Got my annual charge processed for new year subscription.

Gonna opt for the Vamp and pay for the Kasrkin with the hope that I can swap with someone for another Vampire or just sell the Kasrkin down the line.

which reminds me that I still have a termi and an assassin to sell!

HBMC may be in the market for the Terminator?

US only. Shipping cost to Aus would be silly.

So as the first round of models have gone off-sale I've got 1 year for GW to start a Slaanesh 40K army to tempt me to want an exclusive Terminator

Otherwise I've got my AoS Sorcerer in the bag and in the post now. If it weren't for both car repairs and Tyranids I'd have likely gone to make a saving on the costs (as monthly went up) and gone for an annual

Got my rebill as well, looking forward to getting my Kasrkin later this year and hopefully, that the promise of it being the biggest year yet comes true.

Decided to watch all of Angels of Death today, I stopped halfway through back then due to the jank of some of it, but it was an okay watch, could've done without the excessive camera shake and the sound effects were very disappointing sometimes, you'd think that GW, with access to a whole library of game audio, which they use, would give bolters and heavy bolters a more appropriate sound when firing.

I suspect that a lot of the audio is likely held by different studios under their own contracts or its generic use and held under licences for specific use. So I doubt GW has a huge library of media assets to share around between different creators.

It might be something they could work toward building with this new system, however the private firms might not want to hand over their assets to GW like that. It's one thing to have GW oversee storyboarding and lore and production styles and such; but its quite another to basically hand over the tools of their trade for generic use by competing firms.

Pariah nexus was amazing
