@twahtskie @bread_nought Pretty sure they only animate units with actual plastic to sell. Steel Legion doesn’t right now but you need guard units in Yarrik’s trailer so you show the units with actual plastic you can buy.

We literally got what we asked for, GW listened to the fans and started making steel legion models. Just be happy that we’re getting steel legion, unlike literally last week when we thought we’re never getting steel legion.

@PrettyGood9630 @sigmarxism The Armageddon models aren’t ready to be released so they wouldn’t show up in the trailer. But you need to see guard forces in that trailer so they’ll show the guard units that actually have models. That’s why you don’t see Steel Legion and have an article on why others are seen.
English
@sigmarxism Don't put them in the animation involving the literal home world
Releases a article justifying why they aren't here
Makes a painting guide using a krieg proxy
Shows off a bunch of new imperial guard models including Yarrick, the commissar famous for leading the steel legion
English
@Need4Sneed14 @LnkMxwl @Spinegrinder117 @sigmarxism Because they aren’t ready to be released yet. They have a production schedule and Steel Legion is being released in 1-2 years or whenever the 11th Guard Codex is released. The Steel Legion models will be fully revealed when they want them to be revealed.
English
@LnkMxwl @Spinegrinder117 @sigmarxism The concept art could literally be from three months ago.
Why not post the finalised design?
English
@100000000kills @EidolonDragon @sigmarxism They didn’t say “Most are gone now” they said there are “plenty of them about” but they’ve been reinforced by other regiments. The Steel Legion models aren’t ready yet so in Yarrik’s trailer you need to see guard units so you show the guard units that have models already.
English
Except the part where they also tried to justify the non-inclusion of the Steel Legionaries with a new lore tidbit of "Well...most are gone now!"
So why design a new model line for them then? Why wasn't it always in place if Armageddon was gonna be a focus? It makes zero sense as a marketing choice.
English
@MatthewJHayter @sigmarxism If GW were able to change their production and design rollout because people complained we’d have Sang Guard with actual wings. You just didn’t see any Steel Legion in the trailer because they aren’t ready to release yet. You also won’t see art yet because it’s in the 11th codex.
English
@sigmarxism I think they've likely dug up an abandoned project after the backlash. All the official artwork, which doesn't have a quick turnaround, features Kreig. Let's see how quickly they release art for SL with the current 11th ed Blood Angels
English
@HashionDiscord They said 1-2 years so probably whenever the 11edition Guard codex is released.
English
@jendeinpublic @The_Noise_13 No but if it’s like the Spearhead starter set it’s probably around $220 at MSRP.
English
@The_Noise_13 Do we have a price range for that boxed game yet?
English
Jesus christ, I didn't know this level of cope could be achieved.

@The__Unyielding The only thing that GW did under pressure was releasing concept art for models they were already making. The sketches are from 2025 and people were mad over nothing.
English
Take the small victories men. I see some people still bitching and their is still much ahead of us, but take this moment to feel it. Dont not be shamed for your tism. Bullying works. Just stay true, and aim your vitriol in the right direction. I'd hate for us to hinder ourselves.

"Be stubborn, stand strong. What would Yarrick want? To give up and wallow in despair, or hold defiantly against the end. You may not win, but you can hurt them. I'll be outside, good luck."
English
@Gildarts_is_op @PelegaPlays @EaterOfBrushes The sketches are dated 2025 so probably not. I don’t think we really know how long it takes. If they do have models ready I imagine they only want to show them when they release the next Guard Codex.
English
@CCCScientist @PelegaPlays @EaterOfBrushes If this was the case they would had more ready for us. 2 years is around how long it takes for green lit ideas to turn into models...
English
@LondonVoxCaster I imagine it’s like the Piranna for the Tau. It scouts forward, moves very fast into the enemy lines and tries to his something very hard before dying. Though this looks a bit more tanky, maybe T9 since Armored Sentinels are T8
English
like I'm not mad
I'm confused
what will this even do
a cheaper, squisher Russ?
a Sentinel that can last longer?
English
I'm honestly trying to wrap my head around this
Who exactly asked for (presumably) a squishier Russ
English
@hammer_star @EaterOfBrushes I’m betting A. The trailer is for Yarrik, he’s got a model so they’ll show him. Steel Legion’s models aren’t ready yet so they’ll wouldn’t show them animated yet. I don’t think GW would completely change their design and release schedule because of backlash. Example: Sang Guard
English
@EaterOfBrushes There’s two options for what happened:
A: They planned from the start to give us Steel Legion and didn’t want to make models for the animation (bad PR choice).
B: This is direct response to the criticism, which would be kinda cool that they actually decided to listen.
English
@PelegaPlays @EaterOfBrushes I don’t think GW has ever completely uprooted their design and release schedule due to backlash. The setting is Armageddon, Steel Legion is there. They just didn’t show anything in Yarrik’s trailer because the models weren’t ready.
English
@EaterOfBrushes They always intended to extinct them, I just think they had zero idea how popular steel legion.
Concept art but no models or videos?
Damage control to show that concept art is all, but glad they will eventually, maybe, perhaps, one year, come out in plastic.
English
@Forksmithsmith @AnimeGuyIsBitch @DumpsterDefence @RobinWeep @revengeofthese2 @clashreport Because then Iran will continue to attack the rest of the Gulf state’s energy production, salivation plants and oil infrastructure in retaliation. They’ve already knocked out Qatar’s natural gas production for a while. More attacks will impact millions.
English
@AnimeGuyIsBitch @DumpsterDefence @RobinWeep @revengeofthese2 @clashreport Hit their refineries, production, and power infrastructure. Done for decades. Isn't an issue of being impossible, it's actually easy from where we already are. We just don't want to do that
English
U.S. and Israeli officials increasingly view securing the Strait of Hormuz as the most realistic endgame of the conflict, shifting away from earlier ambitions like regime change and fully stopping Iran’s nuclear program, which they now consider unlikely to succeed.

@HashionDiscord There are a few Aeldari models with conditional invulns. Rangers and Shroud Runners only have a 5+ in range and Banshees have a 5+ in range but 4+ in melee.

@EPhan532 @AtheistPhoenix Why did God create humanity knowing they would sin leading to the creation of cancer?

@AtheistPhoenix Prayer works. Cancer cannot be eradicated as a concept. Hope this helps.

If prayer works, why haven’t any Christians used it to eradicate cancer yet?

@siuansanche10 They’ll show more regiments when there is plastic to sell. It’s just how it is.
English
Perhaps the biggest example of how 40k is now just a plot with a neat setting is how boiled down all of this is, like you had dozens of various regiments in the Second War for Armageddon all with unique aesthetics and now we’re just stuck with Cadians and Krieg.
