Re: 9th Edition Rumours
Despite all the "whats" i would like to find out a "when" more than anything. Its been crazy trying to keep up with all the rumors about what may or may not change. Im seriously hoping the few models I've already bought dont end up useless

Re: 9th Edition Rumours
Summer is the release time from what I heard. I wouldn't be too worried about the validity date of our models.

Re: 9th Edition Rumours
What I'm wondering is, if it will still be possible to combine the three Elf armies in 9th edition, since
So far we assumed that the collapse of the three elven armies into one was the way to go for 9th, but I'm not so sure anymore. What do you think?
On the other hand, combining the Dark Elves with the other armies should now be easier, considering that
I know opinions are quite mixed about this, but I for one really hope for the option to combine elven armies.

I suspect Elves will exist as only one faction, given the various rumours and ET trajectory. If they're looking to reduce total number of armies, than a few options within Elves is easier to maintain than all three distinct armies. I'm guessing that something broadly "Wood Elfy" is the most likely to shape a single Elf selection - as the most Tolkien-esque, most readily grasped clliche and given they can encompass both the light and dark aspects of previous Elven aspects. You could see how Wood Elves alone could exist, but selections could shape it to Dark of High echoes.
Personally, I do hope all three still remain separate and distinct. (Though I wouldn't cry especially for High Elves). ... I'm not holding out much hope.
At the start of the process I'd be mad about that, but after the mad fest of vandalisation, I'd just take light/dark aspects of a generic Elf faction as a minor triumph. That, of course, being GW's plan all along, no doubt. Smash up people's world, tell them they'll end up living in bubbles, and then watch them weep with gratitude when you it's not quite as bad as they feared in the depths of despair - even if its something they'd have gone to war over at the start of the whole wretched saga.

Re: 9th Edition Rumours
In 40k, rumours are filtering through about new Eldar models and that includes a new, plastic Avatar of Khaine. Personally, I feel GW missed a trick by having one appear with the ET series (from a models sold point of view that is). Take into account some Fantasy rumours that the Elves will have an "aspect-like" approach in the ninth edition following the merger of the races, will we see an Avatar of Khaine ruleset here?
Also, what happened to Khaine in the ET books? Was there any mention?

Re: 9th Edition Rumours
I've heard of the next edition to be converting to warband style games, round bases, faction-merging permanent, bubbles of reality,... This was either the best or worst time to pick up fantasy again. Why is there not a 'nervous' smiley on the left?

Re: 9th Edition Rumours
That round base rumour is reaching me from very different sources... But I'm still not believing it! I probably still won't believe it even when I see it!

Re: 9th Edition Rumours
There does not seem to be much debate over the IF the factions merge, but the HOW. For us, reading through articles on warhammer-empire, it appears to be we are looking to lose crossbows, cold ones and hydras. Well.... cold one knights I don't use anyway (using Dragon Princes in their place), hydras I can personally live without. I can see the argument for removing crossbows, but I love them and have 40 RXBs that I have no interest in breaking down into bits.
Its all speculation still, of course, and I'm likely just adding unnecessary stress to a process we as players don't appear to have any influence over.

How is this different from the current edition? Every edition you get a new Army book. This new Army Book of -ours- will also be the new army book for -them-, that crazy bunch that didn't follow the true King from the start.

Re: 9th Edition Rumours
What if all this crap about round bases, small warbands and new rules with each release is being done purely to kill the Ebay market for old models? I bet I've spent $500 in the past two month picking up a huge dark elf army. All of which was done on Ebay. I get that all the new stuff was bought by someone at some point and then resold. But I've got 2 hydras, 20 witches, 1 COB, 10 COK, 2 COC, 20 exec, 20 BG, a few random characters/heroes and about 60 shards and spears that were all straight up selling of old stuff. Ebay is also how I got the last 3,000 or so points in my WE army, but that was mostly new stuff just at a cheaper price point the GW. It's also where I purchased the entirety of my brother's 4,000 point HE army.
It seems to really be their only motivation for killing off so many of the models we've collected over the years.

Re: 9th Edition Rumours
It seems everyone is holding their breath!
While rumours tend to increase as we approach launch date, I get the impression rumours are slowing down, oddly enough. The first rumoured release date was the 24th of April but that doesn't look like it will be happening.
So the bets are on May now?

Re: 9th Edition Rumours
Fairly inaccurate, as Craftworlds is already there in April, and the first release in May is the Assassins 30k box set being released for preorder this coming weekend.
Might be something a little later in May perhaps, but timings seem off from the start.

Re: 9th Edition Rumours
Apparently, the following is a teaser from GW Lille:
I've also been told the date is the 13th June 2015, at least that's what their Store Manager is expecting for the Pre-Orders.
The sun goes down, teintant the sky of rubis and blood...
The elected will get together in the heart of the sanctuary, bringing with them the hopes of their people...
They will fight for the glory, for the honor, at the edge of the abyss...
Will the lowest in the abyss while the strongest will be brought to the naked...
Then they will fall in turn, victims of their pride until it is more than a glorified, glory, lying in the blood of his own nation, deaf to the supplications dying while he will recover this rightful Right, Sacred Eternal Champion in the heart of the Night, Supreme Lord in the land Devastated, King Nocturne acclaimed by the ghosts of his enemies... Until dawn...
That the forges revolve nights and days, that the prophets look through the future, that your armies are amassing around your banner. Prepare yourself mortals!
Because I am khorne! The Lord of the blood! The archi-commander! The forge-war!
You are my guests... Enter in my arena. The rules have changed, prepare yourself!!
Information directly in store!! You do not want to miss this, believe me on floor
