Dusldorf Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 4chan. looks like a legit sculpt, although 3d printed. people are claiming that GW uses 3d printing for proofs of concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. And as usual, 4chan is full of it: ZarathustrasShadow 4 hours ago The model looks fantastic, the base not so much. Where did you get the STL from?

pretre Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Back when I did the rumor tracker, we tracked 4chan, which was a pain because it's all anonymous. You'd think, if it is all anonymous and you can't track a single person, that it would all wash out to being statistically about as accurate as any other rumor monger. It wasn't. It was one of the worst accuracies, down with the guys who copped to making everything up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I would actually be quite surprised if GW did not make use of 3D printing for prototyping and other pre-production type stuff. It’s no secret that they’ve moved to digital sculpting and CAD-based design. (I’m not saying the above Battle Sister is an in-house 3D print.)

Ish Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Occam’s Razor. I think it’s more likely than not that @pretre found a post by the actual home-hobbyist who created a really good 3D sculpt of his own, rather than the idea that there’s a rogue sculptor loose inside Citadel who has decided to risk his career (and possible jail time) to leak a picture a few months ahead of a product release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusldorf Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 it's more likely a home hobbyist, but my point is just that there's no guarantee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s also no guarantee that this isn’t a time traveler bringing models back from the future. That being said, I think Ish has the right idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to get all RoC here, but this is one of the problems with rumors for GW and the internet in general. People just post things with no sourcing or critical Review and then say 'well judge for yourself'. Then folks don't and we end up with hysteria over the new leaked rules or models that are nothing of the sort. Should the people receiving that judge a bit better? Sure. But should people posting have some responsibility? Absolutely. This would have been a great inclusion in the 'Cool mini' thread in AF or something like that, but as a possible leak from GW? Not really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusldorf Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 hysteria and intrigue over leaks and rumors is part of the release cycle drama, it's part of the fun. this is a wargames forum, not fake news about political events or something serious. just enjoy the ride.

Ish Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 So, anyway... How about that new Vigilus book? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Yes. That’s the one... Anyone got anything about what the Indomitus Crusaders Specialist Detachment entails? All I’ve managed to glean from the googles is that it costs 1 CP to unlock, like all Specialist Detachments, and then apparent it costs another 1 CP per squad to upgrade a Primaris squad (or possibly just Primaris Intercessor Squads) to be “veterans.” But I haven’t found out what that means. Thats a lot of CP to spend in an army that can sometimes struggle to get many CP to begin with. Yeah, I could wait a month and read the damn book then. But I wanna know nooooow!

Ish Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Yeah, just blurry and low rez enough to make me want it but unable to actually see what it actually is... Like the naughty movies on the scrambler’d out PPV channels when I was a teenager. If I strain my eyes, I think I can see a boob read that one Stratagem turns one squad of Intercessors into “Veterans” for 1 CP, giving them +1 A and +1 Ld for the rest of the game. Kind of “meh.” Another Stratagem gives Veteran Intercessors with Stalker Bolt Rifles the ability to ignore targeting restrictions on Characters for a single phase. Pretty nice. And I think the next Stratagem does something for regular bolt rifles, but I cannot make it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
