I didn't bother actually watching it at all, just had thought people here might be interested, but that's pretty lame. Either way, it seems the week of 8 - 12 Jul seems to be pretty concrete for downloads week. Plus goonhammer reviews are pretty good so far, and we have those. and like I said, I get the paywall. It takes time and there were hundreds of questions coming in for a three person team, they had to sort and prioritize somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahrial Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Someone did end up paying to ask about Ogors and one of their team members took the cards so they couldn’t actually talk about it lol RIP 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's all competitive this, balance that, metawatch, % winrates, tier lists... This wasn't even that long ago. It's shocking how hard and how fast both AoS and 40k have pivoted in their design and release philosophy, and community reception. I totally agree with you. 8th Ed 40k I actually enjoyed after the hideousness of 7th. However, then the tournament crowd got into the rules team and then it spiralled horribly. The wordiness has become ridiculous. I'm hoping AoS doesn't do the same. 3rd felt very different to 2nd. Although I didn't play vast amounts of 2nd it felt more enjoyable, I hope 4th does the same but I'm not holding my breath. At the worst I paint up the two skaven spearheads and sell them off 🤷 that does leave me other armies though. However, the power creep has come into SW legion under AMG. Doesn't anyone want to genuinely balance their games any more? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freypal Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I'm guessing there is little point buying the Stormcast cards unless you desperately want to play with them for a month or so given a new battletome is imminent? And so new cards likely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortal Wound Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Yup, I'm deffo skipping the Stormcast pack in favor of the digital download. And holding off on my other factions until we see the first battletome roadmap. Not gonna buy cards if they have an expiry date set within the first year. Different strokes for different folks of course, the physical cards are insanely useful and convenient and I love them. But I just can't justify the expense if they are gonna get replaced that quick.

And so new cards likely... Also, the problem is not only those factions receiving a tome soon, like SCE or Skavens, but that is very likely that most of the cards will be wrong. This happened with the 40k to the point that GW accepted returns/ refunds and they removed them from sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amenephis Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Yeah I want to be extremely clear here: DO NOT BUY THESE CARDS WITH THE INTENT TO USE THEM FOR GAMEPLAY. I will be getting the Skaven ones, but that is solely because I'm a Skaven fan and I want them as a collectible, not a game component. It is a near-guarantee that *many* of these cards will be incorrect before you ever even receive them. It is an absolute guarantee that even more will be invalidated within the first 2-4 weeks. GW printed materials are ALWAYS useless for actual gameplay because of a combination of how quickly they patch and update things, alongside their complete contempt for the very concept of QC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible you are thinking of the Leviathan Mission Deck? That had an issue with misprinted card backs and was indeed recalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, when they were first released there were loads of mistakes or GW tweaked things afterwards. As mentioned by others and my own personal thoughts, don't get the cards unless you want to collect them. From a gaming point of view there may be mistakes.

Mortal Wound Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 (edited) Well, there was a .pdf errata to the index cards, yes. Only thing that needed correcting in my CSM index card deck, which was one of the largest decks with the most datasheets, was the Firing Deck value for the Rhino that was misprinted. I don't remember massive amounts of stuff in that errata document for other factions, mostly similar typos. But to each their own I guess. Everyone can have a different threshold for what constitutes 'loads of mistakes' or what makes a product 'useless'.

I am not a 40k player, but I am in a WhatsApp group where there's a decent chunk of GW haters, so they talked about this quite a lot. Any excuse is good for them to criticise And, from the top of my head, I remember there was a faction where all their cards had at least one error. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortal Wound Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Well, Professional Complainer 40k people are also known to say that their entire codex is obsolete and useless and a piece of toilet paper when the points values in the back change with a balance update, so... 🙄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Munda has had different styles for different gangs since the start of New'Munda, they generally don't follow the usual 'Eavy Metal style to the letter like the Goliaths from the first starter set for example: If I'm not mistaken they have their own 'Eavy Metal painter?
