=== Yet more exploits from the lord of Games Workshop === [[File:Indomitus-crusade.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Artist interpretation of GeeDubs new CEO launching the Indomitus Crusade to win the crowd back.]] *WHFB The Old World with GW working on Kislev minis! *[https://regimental-standard.com/| The Regimental Standard] *[https://www.warhammer-community.com/| Warhammer Community] *Custodes in PLASTIC *Plastic [[Sisters of Battle]]. *He also re-hired [[Matt Ward|a certain someone]], [[Fail|FFFFFF...]] no-one's perfect. But wait! His writing has overall improved and the only sign is the return of [[Roboute Guilliman]] (whose sudden character development has turned Papa Smurf into quite a cool guy). That's right, it looks like things are on such an upswing, even the Spiritual Liege himself has improved, [[Ghal-Maraz|such is the power of the Lord of GeeDubs]]. *'''AN [[Adeptus Mechanicus|ADEPTUS MECHANICUS]] ARMY. HOLY SHIT'''. *As of March 2017, Lord Kevin has managed to cause shares to nearly double in value, pushing Games Workshop stock to its highest level ever showing who is boss in the tabletop wargame industry. ** 2020: [https://finance.yahoo.com/news/space-warriors-trump-tesla-stock-065248985.html| the Games Workshop shares are actually setting records]. *He's making a new edition of [[Talisman]]. NOW we are back to being about GAMES, not just Warhammer. *Primarchs (both loyalist and traitor) in 40k! *AND wait, what, 8th? 8th is by most accounts pretty good. Sure, it's still a little rough around the edges, but the majority of the changes are for the better, and it is still objectively smoother than any other edition so far. * Yet again more Start Collecting!, for Slaanesh Daemons, ''Beastclaw Raiders'', AND '''''FYRESLAYERS'''''. The first one has an Exalted Chariot, which is just a regular Chariot and a [[Hellflayer]] combined; the second only has 2 plastic kits, but this will make it unnecessary to buy Stonehorns/Thundertusks ever again while pumping your Mournfangs to up max size in no time. The third one has A FUCKING MAGMADROTH. Yes, it is straight-up a dropped price, one of the few (or maybe the first) price reductions. and one of the biggest, because it includes 10 Berzerkers in the math, and GW '''''stopped''''' selling Magmadroths individually. Might sound a wee bit tragic? Yes, but in the end, they will sell more and we will buy more bloody awesome magma salamanders. *Trajann Valoris’ facial hair. *HE BROUGHT FUCKING SQUATS BACK!!!! *He has given Tindalos Studios permission to make [[Battlefleet Gothic Armada]] 2! *And now, [[Adeptus Titanicus]]! *And [[Rogue Trader]]!! Because if you are going to do it, you have to do it right. *New KILLTEAM, that appear to be not some lousy copy-paste of regular 40k in lesser format, but different skirmish game. Over a dozen factions and two expansions released so far, it's increasingly promising. *Our most beneficent and magnanimous lord has decided to [[Noblebright|share 5 million pounds of earnings]] with the 1700 GeeDubs employees, that's an average of 2941 pounds more for [[Duncan Rhodes| Duncan]], Peachy, [[Matt Ward|Matt]], Phil, Jervis, Cruddace, Warhammer Community team, the guys from Warhammer TV and many others, [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-44413297 here's the news, brought to you by BBC.] *New Ork Buggies! The old model was almost a quarter century old, and we finally get new stuff! Not only that, the reveal trailer is hilarious. "Inspiration, Emotion, Dakka." *[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-45019803 Also, profits have doubled since last year,] [https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/GAW:LN with the highest historical earnings.] Update as of March 2018: *"Lord Kevin" has been busy, and it shows. The amount of boxed games GW has been coughing up is a sight to behold, and each one is great fun. One point for happy community. *On the opposite end, the new fluff that's been implemented has [[Warhammer 40,000 8th edition|been]] [[Skub|rather divisive]]. While some are either happy or not discontent over GW [[Advancing the Storyline|finally letting the clock strike midnight on M42]], just as many, if not more, fans are [[Rage|not pleased in the way this was done]], with accusations ranging from [[Warhammer Adventures|making it child friendly]] to [[Age of Sigmar|making it mainstream]] and everything in between. Most of these complaints are valid, and none are in army-burning territory, a select-few go into pants-on-head retarded justifications of their opinion that encroaches on [[The Elder Scrolls|vidya territory]]. While it may seem that this is merely an unfortunate coincidence, these decisions were almost definitely made, at least in part, by our Lord and Savior, make of it what you will. Update as of November 2019: *By the Emperor, now we can have plastic Eldar [[Aspect Warriors]] along with our Plastic Sisters, starting with the Howling Banshees. *Warhammer: The Old World is, basically, Warhammer Fantasy 9th Edition, and despite not coming out for at least two years, we will definitely be returning to the days of square bases. Updates for 2020 *'E GOT UZ MAKARI BACK, 'ES A PROPPA GUD GIT *Our Captain of Industry made [[Warhammer_40,000_9th_Edition| 40k 9th edition]] available for preorder; this resulted in [[scalper]]s attempting to do their thing with the Indomitus Starter Set. Our most cunning and multiple lord screwed over them by simply making the starter set Made to Order. ** The limited-time Indomitus box is itself a paragon of his lordly munificence: a pair of 1,000 point armies that people actually give a shit about, top-heavy with wallet-molesting character and elite units, plus a rule book for $200 USD--[https://www.fauxhammer.com/new-releases/warhammer-40000-9th-edition-indomitus-starter-sets-compared/ about a 70% discount compared to buying equivalent units a la carte]. Little wonder everyone wanted it. Updates for 2021 *[https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/04/17/belakor-is-so-scary-we-let-him-lead-this-weeks-pre-orders/| BE'LAKOR IS BACK], for BOTH Sigmar and 40k! It's a 17cm high figure. *MOAR ORKS! (In the form of the Beast-Snaggas, while its not a complete refresh of the Ork model line it's ''an entire new range of units'') *Gaunt's Ghosts got models now as well, meaning the Tanith First and Only get some rep on the tabletop! *More plastic Sisters in the form of new units (in fact, the first new units since ''2003''), though this one is more of a mixed bag - mainly because we got [[Paragon Warsuit|another baby carrier]] out of it. *[[Aeronautica Imperialis]] was announced, while not a revival of Battlefleet Gothic it gave us our first plastic Thunderhawk (even if its not 40k-scale). So we're halfway to having an actual plastic Thunderhawk. *On a more controversial note, Geedubs has begun the practice of [[Trazyn|taking prominent fan animators to use for in-house projects]], to the [[Skub]] of many [[butthurt]] [[grognard|grognards]]. While the canonization of fan content is a massive win for /tg/, it's offset by the fact that it likely greatly lessens creative freedom for those picked up. On a side note the one finished project taken in, [[Astartes_-_a_fan_made_animation| Astartes]], had been edited into different version, soundtrack modified for copyright purposes. <s>Time will tell if this will work out.</s> It didn't. With a bullshit zero-tolerance policy on fan animation and an attempt at a streaming service, it appears he's lost out to corporate. Shame. Updates for 2022 *To the joy of many an Aeldari player, it appears Geedubs is [[Awesome|actually refreshing the Eldar model range]]. The meme is dead, with new guardians(of the defender and storm variety), Shining Spears, rangers, Maugan Ra, Dark Reapers, Warlocks, a new Autarch with actual options, ranger jetbikes called shroudrunners and a MOTHERFUCKING [[Avatar of Khaine|AVATAR OF KHAINE]] *HOLY SHITBALLS HE UNSQUATTED SQUATS! *ANGRON HAS A MODERN MODEL, THIS IS NOT A DRILL *Probably had a hand in giving Cavill the go-ahead to make an entire fucking cinematic universe. Time will tell if this will be good - since Cavill walked out once the Witcher show he directed went to shit due to the writers giving no shits about the lore, we'll at least know when to jump ship.
