Hi All,
It’s time to look at the predictions I made this January and see how many of them panned out! Let’s recap:
- Either the Tau or Craftworld Eldar book will break the meta….but… the issue will be rectified by the end of the summer
- We will get model previews for the Old World Fantasy games and Adeptus Titanicus will begin to turn into a new Version of Epic
- The new Horus Heresy release will be a half-way step between 7th and 8th but will be closer to 8th then 7th
- The following 40k Armies will get new books in 2022: Genestealer Cults, Custodes, Tau, Aeldari, Chaos, World Eaters/Khorne or Emperor’s Children/Slaanesh, Chaos Daemons and Imperial Knights.
Now let’s assess who correct I was:
- I am going to give myself a “W” here although I should have specified both were going to. I am not sure if being surpassed by more broken armies counts as “rectified” but I feel like this is close enough.
- Oof no W’s here just straight L’s. It’s been a quiet year for AT and it doesn’t seem any closer to involving non-titanic units.
- Hmm I was kinda on point here. I suppose it’s not that risky to say it would be a half-way system but I was surprised at how similar to 7th ed it ended up being. I think it’s almost perfect in it’s structure and can’t wait to see how they develop it. I am also amazed by the continual release of super-heavies in plastic!
- As the song goes 7/11 ain’t bad. I might also give myself a 0.5 point for the WE book even if it isn’t out yet. GW almost doubled the number of 40k codecies released this year to try and catch up which is a simply amazing stat. No wonder the competitive environment felt so chaotic!
All in all I am pretty happy with my powers of prediction. Of course I missed the Votann and was way too optimistic about the Old World but no one bats 1.000. Stay tuned in the coming weeks when I reveal my next set of prognostications for 2023!
