Forge World Update?

[nidnewbie]

Now that Crusher Stampede & the Leviathan Supplement have been adressed, how ling until FW models get the hive tendril key word?

[autoxidation]

Probably a couple of weeks.

I only use Wahapedia for FWf rules and they might be wrong. But they have in on that datasheet.

The Imperial Armour FAQ usually gets amended every few months when they do a big update for most books. The last one was early Feb when about 20+ FAQs were revised together alongside a balance update.

The next balance update was obviously brought forwards and released early due to the state of Eldar & Tau, but I expect GW will still do a big gamewide FAQ update in early-mid May.

They are wrong. GW will have to add it formally for it to “officially” be there and based on custodes that will come with the nid faq. Common sense is that most people and event organizers should just assume it is there though

So if you bring a spearhead with 3 FW dules, you dont get the rare organisms rule and can bring more than 1 HT in that detachment

I’m super excited about new rules for FW Nids. I hope Hierodules will not be LoWs and Dima will get good AP weapons to tear all the new AoC bullsht. I think the biocannons will be about Shardgullet-tier. I’m just a bit afraid that they will either be too powerful or too pricy to use.

FW units aren't going to get radically overhauled rules from this. The FAQ changes will do the bare minimum to make them function with the codex, such as adding HIVE TENDRIL keyword and removing rules like Instinctive Behaviour that no longer exist.

The best case scenario is that we see updates like Stonecrushers getting -1D in line with regular Carnifexes, or some monsters getting the HORNED CHITIN keyword. But those changes aren't guaranteed.

I agree. At best the next Forge World FAQ will add the HIVE TENDRIL key word to forge world units, bring the stone crusher carnifex in line with the current carnifex, and adjust the point cost of our forge world units.

Anything more than this will wait for the next imperial armor book.

Yeah, I’d love to see otherwise but I think it will be minor updates, meaning that the FW big boys are now left behind and consigned back to their shelves
