Eldar joining up was never an option, it's like living in a society where you have 100 chimpanzees for every human.

Anyone know what happened to the Wargamer Online channel? It was pretty popular and I know there was some drama when one of the original guys cheated on his girlfriend who was on it, but it changed into what looks like a dedicated Age of Sigmar channel and completely rebranded to something I forget and I can’t find anymore.
Who would do that when the bulk of their views were 40K material and the Old World was going to be coming back?
They had a really active forum which they nuked too.

So Emperor’s Children is confirmed to return. Not sure if it’s going to be another index page or if there’s going to be actual models.

I have no idea what it's like to be a eldar teen or kid but I'm wondering if orphans who don't know any better could take it. Also ironically that is something of a thing with the Jokaero

I'm assuming it's a full range refresh and standalone codex, same as the other god-aligned traitor legions have gotten. The Thousand Sons got their glow-up at the end of 7th, the Death Guard at the beginning of 8th, World Eaters at the end of 9th/beginning of 10th, so the EC are due for it, considering all they currently have is that ancient resin Noise Marine upgrade set and the equally old Lucius model. At most I'd expect something like what the World Eaters got: plastic Noise Marines, plastic Fulgrim, one or two other plastic units like cultists (analogous to the Jakhals or Tzaangors) and another EC-exclusive Marine unit (Terminators?) and possibly an updated Lucius. I definitely don't expect them to be churning out tons of new models like they did for Death Guard all through 8th.

An updated Lucius model is guaranteed, but I'm expecting some kinda bullshit with Fulgrim if they do release a mini for him in 40k. GW has already established that they want almost no cross over with models between games. They will probably make the 40k Fulgrim model as different as possible from the heresy one they recently released so the heresy players won't have a cheaper alternative to work with.
Personally I would like to see a model for Eidolon. A unit of new men for Bile wouldn't hurt either considering that GW is gonna pull some bullshit out of their asses to justify the EC having as little shared units with standard CSM.

Usually they just stick with Eldar factions. It’ll probably just be a primarch and a couple of EC specific units at best. Noise marines, Lucius in plastic, cultists, maybe a terminator squad. Just like what they did with World Eaters.

God, that Knights box looks good. What do you think, $200, or $250? It's $368 worth of knights right now so I'm guessing $250, which would shake out to just about "you paid for the big knight and one pair of small knights and get the other pair of small knights for free."

It's pretty much the Marvel Mutant issue that the Eldar kid basically knows what everyone is thinking, while humans get a massive uncanny valley feel from him.

I will probably pick up the Knights kit and DA box depending on the UK price just because they Terminators and inner companions are pretty solid.

Slaanesh being the trannies-are-evil faction was an internet joke for a long time. When I heard the news they might get new models, I was kind of tempted to paint one of them in trans flag colours to see how it looks (maybe give one a plasma gun for reasons you can guess). If anything, I'd imagine them complaining how it's problematic. I'd also like to make a noise marine karan, but given how political female space marines are, it might send the wrong message.
Are people in this thread interested in guard lore? And is custom lore frowned on? I ask because I'm thinking of going guard. I listened to hours of guard lore videos and none of them really speak to me, and GW killed off home worlds for some lore events. Many have a generic "best of the best" story, Praetorians have lore that doesn't match the theme (I don't see how debt slavery = British colonials), and the internet seems to just suck off Kreig. Custom factions used to be common in 40k back in the day but I don't know if that's still a thing.
Two related questions, why are space dwarves disliked, and what are the most fun army to play against? For years people begged GW for squats and now they're back everybody seems to hate them.

Bored. Wanted to run some Ops in SM2. Waited 17 years to get through these dog ass load times only to see a curious sight: My marine was not only NOT the class I logged out as, this class was wearing armor and colors I swapped out like 3 days ago. Maybe I'm just retarded and forgot.
So I go have a look in the armory and what do you know? Days worth of progress is just gone. Vanished. Deleted. Stricken from the fucking archives.
Fuck this game dude. I'd refund it if I could, but all I can do is just delete this shit and maybe check to see if it's not a literal waste of time and money next year.

Because most of the models are fucking boring and uninspired, compared to the necromunda squat models(including a vehicle) which is what people actually wanted.
edit: Hell, there's the links to the necromunda stuff so you can compare it to the votann models.
They basically all look like proper dwarves, with beards, cigars, etc.
I don't care what you do with your lore or whatever, but I'm not going to read it. I've had exactly 1 person try to tell me about their lore before a game, I just let them go on for 10 minutes while I fucked around on my phone not listening so we could move on to deployment and actually play. If you want some lore to justify your color scheme, basing, conversions, you do you. Just don't expect anyone else to be interested. It's harsh, but I'm just stating reality. There's a couple youtube channels that have lore for their space marines and guard and whatever and they've got fans but if they weren't producing videos for youtube.. no one would care.

Looking them up I don't see anything about debt slavery, only that its lower classes are treated as little better than slaves. The Jopall Indentured Squadrons are all debt slaves though, every one of them indebted to the planetary government at birth and every lasgun bolt they fire after enlistment a debit on their accounts only paid off with bounties for kills.
And Guard lore is always welcome, IMO. Certainly more fun than Spess Mehrine lore. Especially anything that isn't the typical "hurr durr discipline" fare. I loved the regiments Abnett came up with before he developed his crippling addiction to lead paint chips. Yeah, they were all WW2 based, but even so they had more character than most things in 40k. The Phantine were US Airborne troops complete with mohawks and face paint, and the Urdeshi were far from your "typical" Guard force what with an extreme fondness for autoguns over lasweapons, including a so-called "storm drum" that's a cross between a Thompson and a PPSh.
They're ugly little bastards. And I don't mean ugly in the sense of the bad guys where being hideous is part and parcel, but that they simply are completely unappealing on the most basic aesthetic level. Their armor is at best a poor knock-off of the Terran CMC suits from Starcraft and at worst they look like that ugly-ass black Gatling gun chick from Concord with the padded retard suit.
On top of that they also aren't even all that dwarfy anymore. Most of them have facial hair fit for a mere beardling with a notable lack of any proper gnollengrom amongst them.
Absolutely this. Half of 'em are clean shaven baby faces. The rest look crappy except for maybe the psyker model. When people heard they were bringing squats back, this is the kind of vibe people wanted, which should have been doable since necromunda is in 40k.
