The concept art is genuine, and appeared in issue #30 of (the revamped weekly) White Dwarf:

Several kits went last chance to buy when they repackaged them for AoS. I don't think models going last chance to buy is really indicative of anything at this point.

You seem to be ignoring the fact that Order is Sigmarines, 3 Elf factions, Dwarves, Lizardmen and Empire. Death is pretty much just VC; of course it's going to be a slimmer book.

Most likely it's just rebranding for AoS, since they currently have End Times packaging. I'm reasonably sure the price is the same.

$85 USD? Using the 40K rulebook as a comparison rather than currency conversion, it'd be £50.

I notice @najo keeps praising its depth in various threads and suggesting people give it try. I'd be interested in an in-depth review from such a respected veteran player as "it's good, trust me" rings just as hollow as those crying "this sucks! RIP WHFB!".

Technically, only one of those is in the works. Pillars of Eternity was released the other day, available on Steam, or GoG.com if you want DRM-free. That said, there is another Infinity Engine throwback in the works: Torment: Tides of Numenera - a "spiritual successor" to Planescape: Torment...

There is a new D&D cRPG in the works: Sword Coast Legends. It's being helmed by Dan Tudge, who was chief on Dragon Age: Origins, so it has promise.

So, the Muhreens players?

If we're going by the Old World being part of the 40K universe, then, the Old Ones were an ancient space-faring race that were incredibly advanced to the point that they may as well have been gods. They were at war with the C'Tan, who were an ancient race of energy beings that fed off stars...

I laughed. I agree with the first sentence to an extent - I don't think it's so much clumsy rules though, as clumsily written rules. If GW could get the shit together and realise that, despite their misguided belief to the contrary, they are a games company and actually write clear, tight...

I find this odd as I had the opposite reaction. I'd agree there are certain elements of gameplay that have been "dumbed down", like the removal of "If X, then Y" tactics, the inability to assign attribute points, the limited hotbar slots on PC, but they've added depth in others, like increased...

Ward did the same with Spaz Muhrines, Grey Knights and Necrons. I don't think it's insidious design so much as he a. has no concept of balance; and b. needs to make his personal armies the best so he can win more easily.

@najo @The Sun King - I just don't see what you are both so excited about. This analysis amounts to wild speculation, as baseless as those who are calling doom & gloom, but to the other extreme. I'm not a veteran player so I don't feel the desire for a shake up, but I don't think we really have...

The inflation of model prices isn't the problem (most everything has suffered from inflation), the problem is that the living wage has barely increased with it. --- On the round bases: note that it's only warmachines that have the round bases, while the monsters and monstrous infantry are still...
