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

GW doesn’t care about anything other than spacemarines …

pretty much every faction would kill for a major overhaul like the spacemarines got.
Although to be fair … there is not a lot of difference between the various primaris units as there appears to be.
It’s the same model over with minor tweaks.
Pretty much any other faction would have a dozen new models from scratch.

And yet … there’s WarCry.
They’ve done a dozen new factions from scratch in plastic. And almost all of them with unique poses.
That must have been a huge risk … which they didn’t want to take when they did Kill team (almost all units, except the second core box are re-boxed existing stuff)

They kind of did to Necrons in 9th edition what they did to the Deathguard in 8th.
It probably was the only faction that got such a huge revision of their core units and other than Chaos spacemarines and AdMech I can’t think of anyone else who got more new stuff. I suspect the release of Killteam sort of helped AdMech along as it might have given them a bit of a spotlight.

I’d love to see refreshed core troops and elites for every faction (Eldar, T’au, Imperial Guard, and Orks of course), but I kind of doubt that will happen.
