The Quest Continues and... New 40k 8th Edition this Fall?!

Hello my friends! Get ready because the rumormongers have been talking today. Here’s the first details coming in hot:

You came to the wrong neighbourhood...

There have been a few hints that 40k would be getting a new edition. This comes from a very good source, and while we technically know very little about it, we expect that the rules will be streamlined and cut down some.

This comes from a very solid source that has been accurate for a long time here.

via anonymous sources on Faeit 212
also BoLS has been informed by Mikhael the following

Games Workshop will release a new streamlined 40k Edition in Autumn.

Also this is from our Comment Section
via ytook on Faeit 212 (thank you for relaying what you have heard.)
Btw some interesting tidbits from War of Sigmar comments coming from Warhammer Fest
obviously no way to confirm but the commenter is well known:

'Oh..
Expect 40k to have a shake up later in the year!
"It won't be as drastic as Warhammer, but it will be quite a change."
More stream lined and easier to pick...'

and

'I was talking to Ally Morrison and Andy Dunn (They were near the entrance) I know Andy from a while back and during our chat 40k came up...
Well, about how cumbersome it's become.
Any way.
He said the quote above....
;)'

You may not have noticed but this edition it’s only 2 years old. It came out in May 2014! Personally it's a bit odd since GW is updating all the FAQs over the next month or so, it seems they would still be compatible with a new edition coming out a few months later. So reading between the lines, it is sounding like a tidying up edition, rather than a big re-engineering of the game. So what do you reckon?  

One can only hope...

In the meantime I'll let you with a funny review of the 7th edition ...

It has been a while but it's still funny isn't it...

Meanwhile, Black Library had a bunch of upcoming novels to show off at Warhammer Fest – including the next Primarch novel. Guess Who it is? Check it out here!

Back to the Age of Sigmar, Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower is already getting an expansion – Come see the latest Mighty Heroes to take to the board!

Mighty Heroes... with yet another stormcast...

It’s a little hard to read, but it looks like this Might Heroes expansion will be $55. If you do the math for those 4 heroes that comes out to quite a discount!

Maybe Games Workshop is saving on the packaging and passing that discount on to the customer. Maybe they are hoping to move excess product quickly. Maybe this is a ploy to get people collecting more than just their “main” army – each of these Heroes is from a different Sub-Faction of their parent Grand Alliance. Or maybe it’s something else entirely. Either way, it’s quite a discount – and the only place to current purchase the Tzeentch Sorcerer Lord.

Get your wallet’s ready. Here is this week’s 40K, Age of Sigmar and of course – Warhammer Quest goodies!

  • Warhammer Quest Silver Tower Expansion Pack $55

Some quick math shows this first Warhammer Quest expansion pack is a great deal – a 60% savings over buying the figures individually as shown below:

  • Slaughterpriest $30
  • Tzeentch Sorcerer $30
  • Knight-Ventor $40
  • Auric Runemaster $30
  • Space Marine Legends: Cassisus $55
  • Ciaphas Cain Trilogy $75
  • Realmgate Wars: The Great Red $17.50 (orruks)

And for the next week we have not one but two teasers!

Hall of Fame, Army of the Month, Paint Splatter and More!

Time to Get Technical…

It seems GW is closing out their fiscal year with a week of citadel hobby and paint related releases (the Technical range of paint I assume). Thank you for your time and hoping to write to you soon.
