Reply To: Why isn't GW making New Astra Militarum

The thing I always try to remember is that: whenever GW decides they want to do something it takes about 3 years to come to pass as that is how far ahead they plan their release processes, on that long a stretch to coordinate all their divisions and book up the factories when they want a bit stock uptick for the new stuff.
At least that’s what keeps coming out from those with access to the inner workings like stockholders.

Now, that’s not to say that this means that there is something coming but just that, if the are taking on the feedback about marine fatigue and deciding to refresh other ranges (like the Necrons have recently undergone) and that they aren’t already on the docket for some time in the future then it would be three years for that to come to fruition under there current practices.
With the state of the world at the moment, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect things to take longer still.

Now, I’m not defending the practice: I would say that a rolling upgrade across all the ranges would make for a better ecosystem for the game overall (how many people do you hear that are bored on playing Marine vs Marine or simply not wanting to play against Marines because of the level of cheese at the moment) only to answer the question: “Why?”

As some one who plays AM myself, I feel the pain.
