Q&A
Shining spears not the same kit as rangers on bike

Is there a harlequin avatar- next question

Magnus and mortarion do seem lonely

Working on ways to make the digital format more accessible. Future is bright

Catachans? No reveals

Squats? "Its a derogatory term and innaproriate to ask"

Tyranids in Aeronautica? Has no idea. Cant imagine they are the last thing they will see.


Question about playtesting.

Future plans for Heresy event support- yes


Old world is awesome and coming

Why is gw focusing on mono armies- they are in gt play which is done for balance/variable control. Soup is more for open play.

No comment on vect.

Primarch thing- it took 35 years to make one, so they dont want to rush it

Bfg- if the miniature studio is inspired they will make it

2 wounds when- im sure the profiles will change in time. Wont have to give the answer much longer

What is gw doing to incorporate 3d priniting into their business model- they use them in production

40k app- 1st thing around the horizon is it working correctly. Fixing core architecture. 2 to 3 weeks for fix launch. Should fix army builder.

Guard codex- will get new models. 

Probably get more hh in 40k

Ka bandha likely in 40k, hh and aos

Does slann or slannesh play bb?

There will be more blood bowl

Guard going to have a good year but cant confirm RR

To support will go to middle earth as well

Will we see all codicies this edition? Studio dpesnt really think of the game in terms of editions. Thats a community constuct, and if there isnt an ondex reset its not that big of an "issue", but they do want to avoid a feeling of haves and have nots
