That seems so obvious now!

Two tyranid black library books dropping on November, might be the origin of the rumor... Well if it means not waiting till 2018 then fine for me, weird that there's no Dark Angel on that schedule, thought all imperium and chaos would drop before 2017 ended given their "focusing on chaos vs imperium as major fight" comments

They probably have most if not all codexes ready for release. It wouldn't be unthinkable to change the release order based on sales or other numbers. And it is in sync with the Black Library releases.

OTOH it comes from 4chan.

I thought the original plan was for us to be in the post-christmas wave

That said it would make full sense for GW to want as much out as possible before Christmas to boost Christmas sales across all armies.

Please no.. Let us be next year about this time. Tired of getting every codex in december/January just after or before a new edition. Let us be one of the power creeps for once.

Wouldn't it be better if there was no significant powercreep among the codices to begin with? (talking codex vs. newer codex here, not codex vs. index, where the codices will obviously be better for all armies).

And supposedly GW will release game-wide rebalancing updates every now and then that will nerf the too strong stuff and buff the too bad stuff, so even if power creep happens along the codices, it would then be reverted only a few months later?

No one has faith that they will pull it off, and power creep will definitely happen. Balance is an extremely difficult thing and usually it will get (please do not swear) over.

Well they said Flamers are the guns of 8th and that hordes are back.

I trust nothing they say still. The rules have been much more coherent, but internally they are still confused.

Our Purestrains are a good example. The premier GSC unit that has bounced around pricing like a hooker on a holiday.

They weren't that wrong. Hordes went from being completely unviable to far stronger. A recent tournament winner was an Ork list with 90 boys. Units that can spam flamers are pretty nasty.

The strongest strategy? Probably not but it is a lot closer to the top than it used to be. A welcome change.

90 boys?
BRING MORE GAUNTS.
