Hollow Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Ejecutor said: I don't think we will have one. This is my suspicion as well. I could be completely wrong, but I don't see the business benefit of having a long road map. I do see how it could be limiting for GW. (Especially when they are about to embark on an 18+ month construction and expansion program relating to factory space and production) I foresee no road-maps (Or much shorter ones) less large-scale preview shows and more reveals via Warcom.

Clan's Cynic Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 40k 10th had had a couple of roadmaps and one pretty far in advance, so I don't see why AoS wouldn't unless things are so screwed up behind the scenes they decide it's not worth upsetting people if they miss it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollow Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 20 minutes ago, Clan's Cynic said: they decide it's not worth upsetting people if they miss it. The problem with long road maps when you have 24 factions is that you risk "upsetting" and alienating people when you announce them. If you collect and are only really interested in 1 faction, and you are told that your faction won't receive an update for many months, then that person may drift away from the system entirely. It also sets out terms for potential "failure", there are many reasons why it might be difficult to meet the expectations of a multi-month road map. I just think that it is an unnecessary, self-imposed restriction, that doesn't actually make much business sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nezzhil Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 If we are lucky Angmar and HH book next Sunday and then we return to the Skavens/Blood Angels. On other side we still have Legion Imperialis and Necromunda resin models to fit weeks. I am worried that Blood Angels comes first, but it looks that we are gonna have Skavens early September 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01rtb01 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 We still haven't got the spring release heresy plastic melee weapons yet. Angmar et al can take a backseat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asbestress Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I'm firmly of the opinion that "Roadmap = good". If I know Cities is getting a second wave next year, I'll save extra to get a Cogfort. And if I know Cities won't get a second wave in the next 6-8 months, I'll buy more Fusiliers (and anxiously grumble that the course of the faction still isn't firmly set in stone despite already having 2 BTs and a sizeable first wave) and focus on my armies that'll get stuff before them. If I don't know sh*t about what's coming in the future, I stop paying attention. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some will react in a positive way to the roadmap and some won't, so it has its cons and pros, but considering how messed up everything is lately, and that they are in the middle of an expanding process (which is never easy) there are more cons than pros, sadly.

Garrac Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Um, so, it all depends on what will come first, if the ratties, or blood angels Id say final release date should be at some point between the 6th or 20th of september Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollow Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 1 hour ago, Asbestress said: I'm firmly of the opinion that "Roadmap = good". I have a more nuanced opinion regarding roadmaps. Like most things in life, there are pros and cons. I think having a quarterly Roadmap is ok, but I don't think having roadmaps stretching over 2/3 or even 4 quarters is a good thing overall. (Although I would approach reveals, previews, preview shows etc in an entirely different way to how it is currently done) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captaniser Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 GW might be hesitant to show of a new roadmap considering that the last one they revealed for 40k had the Deathwatch on it as a full faction, but was later revealed to be a red herring for the Agents of the imperium faction reveal.

silverstu Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 4 hours ago, Clan's Cynic said: Some more TOW Dwarfs, the missing O&G character and Old World terrain up for pre-order next week. Interestingly the Dwarf Miners come packaged with what I think was the Skull Pass cart? Yeah the miners had a cart on their sprue - one with every five miners I think. Great that it has rules! A quick note on the Skaven reveal- not a Skaven collector but I thought they all look great! Vizzik Skour is such an awesome model- brilliant centrepiece and will be on the desks of a lot of painters I think. Other fav is the moulder master- quite disturbing but I'd be tempted to get him just to paint. But once again a fantastic range - delighted for Skaven players/collectors! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
