What I don't get with GW is that in this day and age they release so many duplicate miniatures or minis that look pretty much the same. It's damn cheap of them. Every single miniature in Infinity or Malifaux is unique, which makes them that much more special and cool. Something I've always missed in GW products and a reason why I did so many conversions.

And speaking of cool minis, I've found a local producer that makes some really cool stuff, which made me start my new Mordheim warband. WIP pics:

I love the cars, the detail on those minis is amazing and they're actually affordable compared to similar GW ones.
This guy will be the final encounter for our current Dark Heresy campaign:

I'm pretty excited for 8th Edition. Much of what they have put out thus far have shown they've actually learned what the community wants after 7th Edition and AoS. Things that broke 7th Edition, like Deathstars and lots of Super Formations are all going to be dead and gone come 8th. And they have claimed that 8th has been getting play-tested for a while, but I'm not sure I actually trust GW's sense of balance.

They hit it out of the park with Shadow War Armageddon recently, so maybe there is reason to be hopeful.

It seems like GW has definitely learned from the past and actually engage with the community about the products, they put out.
Haven't had a chance to watch the 8th Edition live Q&A vids yet, but what I've read/heard was really positive.
I'm still sceptical, wether it's really gonna be the "best edition of 40k ever". Even though according to my magic 8-Ball
all "Signs point to yes".

The only thing I'm concerned at so far with 8th Edition is how they will be handling Explosives, but everything else looks good. Chaos and Guard got a spotlight recently, saying how their factions will work, and both look promising.

As long as the Tau aren't somehow completely destroyed and I can make use of the stuff I bought a few years ago and never finished painting, I'll be happy.

don't have the money to reinvest in a new army but I got a bunch of stuff on a store closing sale so I want to be able to make use of it

I'm just hoping Riptides get beaten with a nerf stick. Riptide Wings were obnoxious to play against, and virtually all Tau armies were made up of Riptides and Ghostkeels in 7th. They gotta give Kroot and Vespid some love!

Watched some vids last night, I really love the movement changes! We'll have a lot more options in that phase, which is nice and a pretty big deal imho.
Not sure about the shooting/close combat changes, hard to say without playtesting it myself....dang it now i wanna play, but have to wait another month...seriously?!

I collected 40k for 20 years, but what drove out me and many of my friends to other model games was the never ending codex creep and rules creep. I think at one point they were churning out a "supplement" every month and in the end no one could remember what that battalion did what and oh god, I thought 40k was supposed to be a simple ruleset, how did shootng become this complicated and why in the age of the internet, can unclear rules not be FAQ immediately? Hopefully now that GW has discovered that youtube exists, they can also communicate with their customers.

Thankfully I only have 4 crisis suits I got for the price of 2, the starter box with kroot and an extra squad of firewarriors with 2 transports

Nerf the riptide, thats a-ok with me.

Codex creep got insane at the end of the current edition. I need like 5 different books for my army, often times! 8th Edition is basically completely throwing all that out, and starting everything else from scratch. Everything getting rebalanced at once, and then revising them each year with community feedback is the current promise

I think hardcore codex collectors will be pissed, but for the sake of a better game experience, even these guys will come around eventually.
The idea of a (universal) living ruleset sounds neat, we'll see how it pans out. Considering the amount of community feedback and the extensive playtesing, they've mentioned...this might be "the best edition ever". I'm not convinced yet, but to some extent...hopeful.

They should do it just like every other reasonable company out there: Release the rules online for free (easy to update, lower point of entry for new people) and do the fluff in the books (for those interested in it). Everyone is happy.

There are some, but I think for the most part, people expect new edition means new books. Thus far its confirmed that Core Rules will be released free online, and army rules will be available in "low cost books". Its also speculated that unit stats and profiles will all be released online for free, since thats what they do for Age of Sigmar (although this isn't confirmed yet for 40k).

I played around the times of v4-early v5, then move out cause of irl things.

Last month, I wanted to check again, the rules, codice, ...

And it was simply impossible. Like for real, impossible. Got the rules book, the SM Codex and I was like, ye, lets make an army list and play !
Yeah but.................
NO.

You need at least that supplement, and that one, and that one. Oh, yeah, and get the FAQ latest version for each one of them, ...

I just gave up, considering that v8 was coming shortly after. All that to explain that I dunno if rules are gonna be better or whatever, but the fact that they are going to make them free and all is really great. For old timers like me, it was near impossible to go in after a long break with that new version. From a business POV, that was a killer. It's good for them to remove that i think.
