Diskussions-Ecke für aktuelle Gerüchte

Habe gerade auf BoLS Neuigkeiten gelesen. Diese haben sie von B&C's... Link
Kombiniert wird das Gerücht, dass nächstes Jahr eine neue Edition von 40k herauskommt, die dann wohl Teile der AoS Regeln übernimmt..., und dann könnten in der Grundbox die Sisters of Battle sein!!

Hier mal der Text von BoLS dazu:

"First time posting rumors, but here are some things I want to add to the “meta” picture of rumors regarding upcoming releases. I would say this is a 5/10 on the reliability scale, so bring a salt shaker or 2, but leave the dump truck at home.
3 key points:
1. 8th edition coming out sometime between April-June 2017
2. 8th edition 40k will be “halfway” between current 40k and Age of Sigmar rules-wise
3. 8th edition Starter Set features Sisters of Battle fighting a yet-undeterminable xenos force (based on how the sprues looked)

Insider in the US retail scene who had been to the UK for training earlier this year. Source is confidential so I can’t elaborate more than that.
This past weekend I was in a different part of the US than where I live and spoke to someone involved in the GW retail scene¹ . Long story short, the person–in confidence–mentioned that 8th Edition should be coming out “around the same time as the Stanley Cup²” and that it features sweeping changes that bring it about halfway to Age of Sigmar. He had been in the UK for training on various things and was officially given some information on this (part of the reason we had to dance around things like specific release dates). He comes to the game from AoS side, so he was very excited about the changes. He said they knew that 40k and AoS are completely different games and could never use the exact same ruleset, but the sheer numbers of new customers that AoS’s easier-to-digest ruleset is producing is enough to make it the goalpost for 40k’s re-worked rules. They want to get rid of the bloat and obtuse rules as much as any player and streamline things, while maintaing as much diversity and flavor as possible.
Near the end of our [LONG] conversation he hinted that the starter set for 8th Edition will feature Sisters of Battle. This came up unexpectedly as he was griping about how he was expected to assemble and paint to (GW-standards) the entire Starter Set in the 48hrs from when the boxes hit his premises to the official launch date….all while keeping it secret and continuing to turn a profit. I probed him about this and he said they were “robed female marines³ that I guess were popular before?” He was annoyed because he had never seen these models before and they were “smaller” so he was annoyed at not having more time to figure out the modelling aspect. I probed around asking if they were “more Prospero girls” and stuff like that to try to flesh out the details before finally asking straight up if they were called “Sororitas” to which he replied “nah, something Sisters, but not the Prospero ones.” So for that reason, putting the pieces together, I am speculating they are Sisters of Battle.
He could not name the force they were fighting in the Starter Set since again, they were models that did not look familiar to him. They were definitely “alien” looking with sharp lines and curves and things, but did not look like the Eldar stuff he had in his own collection. I as

Weiß da jemand mehr von? Ist da was dran?

@DodoRevolte Fantasy soll zurückkehren? Inwiefern?

Da hat der gute Dodo wohl das Ironieschild vergessen...

Eine der schlimmsten Neuerungen für 40K wären wohl entsprechende Derivate für Warscrolls...

@ibelknibel Ein Bekenntnis zur Alten Welt (und dazu, dass Age of Sigmar nicht das Einzige und alleinig Wahre ist) fänd' ich schon stark.

Ich denke ein 6mm Spiel ist eher unwahrscheinlich. Wenn sollten sie weiterhin eine Basis halten, die erlaubt alte Modelle einzubringen. Ich glaube auch die Zeit der Spiele mit kleinem Maßstab ist vorbei

War - denk' ich - eher auf die GW Palette bezogen.

@Serotonin und @Merrhok
Das bezog sich natürlich auf GW Produkte, da sie eben ihren Miniaturenstamm vor allem auch auf Sammler ausrichten. Von immer größer werdenden Modellen zu einem 6mm Maßstab? Das bezweifle ich.
Das andere Firmen da Gewinne mit einspielen stelle ich nicht in frage, glaube aber auch nicht das der Markt riesig ist.
