GW drops the ball. Legions was slated for an August release. In the middle of a marketing push 4 weeks old, GW leaves a one paragraph statement on today marketing announcement.
Legions delayed to later in the year!
Something went wrong. Someone was praying and covering the fact that it was not going to happen. There is no way the company went forward with a marketing rush, only to say gotcha bitch.
Yet no one is truly surprised. GW has been under printing and producing product for over two years now. Not one of their releases judged supply. Orders were not filled, customers waiting half a year for books GW never printed more than one per their own stores.
This first occurred with the Black Books. FW/GW did not print enough leading to 2 printings of the Blood Angel and Dark Angle Black Heresy books. Then GW/FW never listed them as 1st and 2nd editions.
Someone needs to be fired! This is a horrible way for a publicly traded company to be run.
* GW has leaked the rules. Other than using inches, people are already playing. Not with their new rules. People are stoked about the game, waiting. Now they may find other ways to scratch that itch.
There are 3 rule sets in play now for the Horus Heresy in Epic scale. The last one being Imperialus Dominitius. Which I am sure Peter has updated to reflect the new Legions units.
* People own 3D printers. There are print services, print farms, running right now. As soon as the pictures and scale were released, the printing started. STLs were being created. The market will be saturated with minis by the time GW starts selling.
In 8 hours my Mars II printed all the command section and primarch for the Emperor's Children and I am 4 weeks later to the game. I have Salamanders and World Eaters in 6mm Horus Heresy already. Other are posting their printed PAINTED armies!
