Sorry to say but I cannot get behind female cestodes. I know this is a very political move but I do prefer sending Men to war as they are dispensable, and, if you are in a fight for survival, Women are more important for the survival of the race. Just my opinion

I feel like one of the new Stormcast is going to be a good proxy for Coteaz...they're much more dynamic.

Cortez's bad model aside, I am looking forward to more info about the army. Lots of potential for fun, fluffy army lists. Personally, I want to see if i can build an army around arbites in chimeras 👮‍♂️🚔

No one expexts...

They Killed my Deathwatch ARmy

Disappointing

Not convinced that my deathwatch army is a thing any more. It's a shame they all have those shoulders on them. And I'm not crying. This hobby costs a lot of money. So if the money that I've spent is not valued, then I'm not in the mood to be spending a lot of money to make this viable again.

Little disingenuous with ignoring some of the issues for existing DW players - their previous armies which included more special units and terminators has now been restricted down to 4 entries. If you go the SM army route you can take up to 2 units of DW vets, and 2 characters along with you marines. That isn't going to cover even a fraction of most forces and existing players do have good reasons for feeling rough at the change. That said I totally agree that this is where DW always should have been and they work far better this way. The Allied Agents system is super thematic and opens up some real fun with other Imperial armies like having a squad of Grey Knights allied in! Very keen for this and hopefully we will see some cool armies coming out of it. Also Coteaz exists.

Yall should check out Cyberpunk Combat Zone. I think its hands down the best bang for you buck. For 120 you get two factions and some terrain. I'm amazed how many people in wargaming are still unaware of this.

Once again a lovely episode! While I haven't had that many games under my belt yet, I have really enjoyed Battletech as game. Can recommend!

So I don't play that many Warhammer games but I enjoy the show anyway. And, since you asked...there so many great games out there! Infinity and Stargrave, plus Rangers of Shadowdeep for sure. Fallout: Wasteland Warfare is a wonderful narrative game albeit quite fiddly. Sludge is a fun romp into alternative black powder era detachment-scale with some very clever gore mechanics. Warlords of Erehwon uses Bolt Action core game loop but in a fantasy setting. Forbidden Psalm has an extensive narrative fantasy series with a simple d20 system. Baron's War is an excellent medieval ruleset. Burrows & Badgers is a quick and fun system with absolutely adorable models. And recently I've added The Doomed for some sci-fantasy boss hunting with a super simple dice system like One Page Rules. (Oh, and of course, all OPR games...especially their new Age of Fantasy Quest system.) And I am currently looking forward to Port Royal for some pirate skirmish fun.

I keep looking at Bolt Action. Models look good, rules look good, setting really interests me

Non-GW games I really like are Godtear, Deadzone and Malifaux, although i struggle with the rules for Malifaux at times.

Hi guys, thanks for the Heresy chat this week and the shout out for mentioning it! 😊♥️

Thanks for the shout out Si :)

Keep it up guys - my fav Warhammer podcast!

We hope you all enjoyed this episode, make sure to mention your favorite non-Warhammer games out there as there are to many that we'd love to mention that we didn't have time for.

Warhammer 20 questions.: The city of Pigbarter

У группы Ayreon есть целый альбом с сюжетом явно вдохновленным этим рассказом. И у них есть других пара альбомов, с историей этих существ. Теперь я знаю откуда он черпал свое вдохновение !

I think the Kruleboyz have some tremendous models when viewed as a range by themselves. I’ve just never been all that convinced that they belong in the same faction as the others, with the more established Warhammer orc aesthetic.

New to the pod, would love some section timestamps on the video

I love the show and I love all you guys but sometimes I think it would be nice if you gave Heresy just the tiniest bit of love. Announced on Monday was the new Heresy campaign book Martian Civil War which looks amazing but no mention of it in the news. In fact you distinctly said that's all the news without mentioning it. Just saying.

In the spearhead rules it mentions that spearhead battles are fought on realm battlefields and they're themed around one of the eight mortal realms. My guess is there's at least 3 other two sided boards coming out. I definitely see a box with boards, terrain pieces and card decks being a thing. I feel this will completely replace Warcry at some point.

Yes Ben! Day of Ascension is my fave 40k book of all time. Tchaikovsky NAILS GSC as good guys. 'So this is what it means to be us... to know and love our own. And if that is Xenos, then how lonely and cold it is to be human.'

This is so screwed up. The models for Duardin are off the site, but the rules for the units are still in the Cities list.

I’m really hoping that Spearhead pans out as a viable game. Can’t see myself playing 2000pt AoS, but Spearhead would be just right, if it’s as good as some people seem to say.

Hopefully they'll double release dwarfs and beasts of chaos saying something like "sorry we are late, we were ambushed by these guys".

It will survive only if GW stick with it and Support it properly, but GWs track record isnt great in this area.

I've never jived with AoS, largely for lore reasons, but I am tempted to give spearhead a try, once my wallet stops crying from the upcoming old world dwarves release.

I think Combat Patrol suffered as a separate game mode because it was so clearly unbalanced from the start with no real attempt to change that.

For spearhead to survive its needs a few things...to be pushed by GW in GW stores, which would need to allow gaming again (of only spearhead) and for the rules of any minatures inside a spearhead to be free for aslong as they are in a spearhead. Spearhead is a great entry way into AoS for any army but not something that will take over 1k-2k comp games imo. It may see its own comp scene but with the restrictions on unit choices I feel a restricted meta will soon be found that is pretty fixed as you cant mix/match units in/out of a spearhead army.

Old world sells well. They should push more of that.

£128 is a lot of cash to spend on your hobby when there's a cost of living crisis. Especially if you have a family to provide for. Just can't justify that kind of spend!

Imagine how poor the sales would be if it didn’t have old world Skaven players boosting the buy in

I miss 3rd edition 40K. My favorite special character was always Eldrad Ulthran.

C🐭🐭L

The same thing happened with Dominion, with LGS having to dump stock at half-price some months later. Meanwhile, Indomitus and Leviathan - also on a three-year cycle - sell out so fast that GW has to make reprints. Is it the three-year cycle or that a big box of Sigmarines isn't a big box of Space Marines?

I don’t get how people can complain that Skaventide isn’t selling well enough. It’s not even out for another week! Are we really calling it a failure just because it’s not sold out long before release like all of GWs 40k releases? Are we going from blaming them for FOMO to blaming them for over producing?

I was trying to sell a customer on starting 40k. Guy (in his early 30's) had played a tiny bit in his teens and obviously done some research online before coming into the shop to talk to someone. Knew all about power creep and some armies just doninating for months at a time (eldar, iron hands) I explained the balance dataslate and regular rules updates keeping the game balanced and he was happy with that but the silence that followed was embarrassing when I said the €120 of books he was holding (core rule book, sm codex and DA codex supplement) would be out of date in less than two years and that he would have to go home and print off 40+ pages of updates from 3 different Pdf's. He left everything on the shelf and went home to think about it. This is GW's target audience.

If a product sells out then GW are incompetent with supply chain issues and if it does not then sales are poor. If they make enough for stores and for new people to buy the edition 6 months later is that not a good thing? I would love to buy some of the old kill team boxes or leviathan but have to pay way over the odds via ebay. They rarely seem to re-distribute old stuff, even if it is current edition

How are you going to convince GW to NOT do 3 years. Just too potential money for them. New edition = new hype = More Money

If GW wants to update their rules and armies then the rules need to be free or separate from the codices. I would even pay the W+ subscription for total access to all rules, that’s fine it better than $60 for the Tyranids codex that is completely irrelevant at this point in time. My first faction as a new player and the rules are useless. Then I would buy the codex for each army that I own in addition to the sub for rules if the books are worth it. Which they’re not! I bought CSM codex and there’s barely any lore or secondary content.

As an Aston Villa fan i hate Ultramarines because I couldn't paint blue !

It's purely the competitive scene that is driving the three year cycle, if you just play with your mates or are in the hobby for miniatures or lore you can essentially play or buy what you want when you want.

I think a 4 year cycle makes a lot more sense for both GW and the consumer. Release all the tombes/codexs in two years, then the next game gets it's new edition. A constant World Cup/Euros cycle

I wouldn't mind editions getting more time to cook, both getting with adjust the current rules and balancing, and testing new future rules for the next edition. I also got that both more pro players and casual players would be used to test the game, I get the feeling that GW like many of us, can get into a vacum and not thing is as the possibilities that people come up to break the game, and to her balance fun vs competitive. Also this doesn't mean we get less models, they can keep repeating me models, and gives people more time to play with their codex if it comes a couple of years after the edition is released

Mini I would like to be erased from existence, plus their entry in the 3rd edition Warhammer Armies book, the Pygmies. Rather best forgotten. One mini I would like to see come back is the Empire War Wagon.

If i were to suggest something it would be split the rules and lore/pictures/hobby guide. The rules, points and datasheets are all online and free. Then whenever an army comes out there is a book, it has a lot more hobby and miniature pictures, it could include a lot of player armies (Tale of 4 gamers type just completed versions) A newer hobby section with eavy metal articles and all the lore and art for the army. It would make the books, timeless must-have items that don't instantly go out of data. They wouldnt affect the game. The game and rules can all live online and be free and constantly balanced and updated.

See I would buy it but I only want the skaven models not anything else like the rules and other books cause I just like painting not playing. Ebay could be an option but I'm not shure how it works to selling it
