DoctorPerils Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Perhaps a poor translation for "boltthrower"? Though I think your explanation is more likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But w/e, it‘s a personal preference, that topic was discussed here ages ago already. In the last two years there have been 16 commemorative series models. 3 of them have been female. On the Underworlds front if you only count humans, Duardin and Aelves it's 32 out of 84 that read as female. (Do Orruks even have a gender?) I think that's actually a pretty healthy average.

An example, the CoS tome includes the word bolter. How the hell you end with a bolter in CoS if it is not something automated? In which language? The translations I have read seemed pretty natural and they frequently even translated names non-literally, which AI translations cannot do.

It is a common feeling between some members of the Sigmaroteca (wiki), but I guess you can include some sort of names translation (I noticed Chat GPT added this, as I've been using it for the Dawnbringer shorts due to layziness). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostShark Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 9 minutes ago, Ejecutor said: I have the same feeling lately. I mean, way way WAY less than half the models in the game are female. A quick look at the store shows me about 190 female models out of the roughly 1665 non terrain and endless spell models. Now that's a REALLY rough count, but its clear the disparity is enormous. It seems kind of ridiculous to be complaining about more female models when they're clearly in the extreme minority. 9 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Taylor Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 +++ Mod Hat On +++ Just a nudge folks but some of the recent posts should be in their own topic 😉 There’s some preview or something happening this weekend 😁 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitzdee Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 We have been so spoiled with Warcry and Underworlds lately i dont know what to expect from this preview. My bet is we wont be seeing any FEC yet. I guess we will be seeing this model this lady of ruin soon. This could be the chaos book. How sure are we about the next book being Order focussed?

No IA. They use a translator program to make a first sheet, and then they work on. Last dawnbrigner book had some problemstoo, like the Trucebreak settlement being called "Trucebreak" and "Breaktruce" in the same book, because in spanish we swap this kind of stuff. If it was "just" a program/IA, the whole book would have the same terminology. Last GHB had a lot of unique words thag were not a direct translation from the english ones too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen many of you whislisting double kits for heroes since this spear was showed, but it is me or GW is not launching many heroes double/triple... kits anymore?

I would say it's not necessarily the default, but they still do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagard Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) stormcast dragons as well, and eternus earlier this year. But no double kits for CoS or Seraphons heroes if i'm correct. And yes it is smaller minis but multikit is not dead yet ! Edited October 11, 2023 by Vagard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Anyway.... prediction time. 40k - 3 Necrons characters, 1 admech character, maybe a dark angels tease. Kill team - new kill team striking scorpions. New box previously seen scouts Vs striking scorpions with a single piece of scenery. It will be like the cities Vs Gorgers box. Old world - Full reveal. Two starter sets, core book, some more tomb kings resins. This will be the main event of the day. AoS Dawnbringers book 3 2 kits for Kurnothi, 1 for Khorne, 1 for something else. Maybe an initial FEC reveal. It's kind of exciting that the thing we know least about is AoS. I'm ready to be surprised. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganigumo Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 This reveal show is probably the least hype I've been for one in a while. Mostly because destruction was such a big part of the last one that I'm not expecting anything for me this time so I'm ready to coast for a while. Hopefully that FEC stuff is cool though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
