WFB 9th Edition Rumor Roundup

I have to admit I am really excited to see the new models, allthough on the backround side I'll wait and see if it appeals. Hoping for more of a blanche look to things personally.

I could go with that - if there is going to be a change in the look.

Me, I'm not so convinced. The stuff apparently being pulled from the shelves are older kits or Finecast.

There's plenty left on sale with the current army aesthetic.

Aren't we all? That's how both Warhammers should look

Well, that could just be production limitations. They don't have a huge staff, and there's a lot to work through in not only redesigning, but also creating new molds to replace the models. If there's nothing to replace them with (and can't be for a while), why not keep selling current models?

they don't need to be handsome, they just shouldn't be slack jawed mutants. downtrodden peasants are the bretonnian thing, state troopers get food and boots and luxuries like that.

This. A million times this. I've wanted to start Empire a dozen times in the past 6-7 years and EVERY SINGLE TIME I look at the state troops and just think, "well, crap".

[Cap'nSmurfs]

Same with me and Catachans.

glad it isn't just me

[Houghten]

Same with me and Catachans.

Hell, Catachans are what inspired me to pick up Imperial Armour Volume I and do an army with no infantry models in it at all.

I completely agree, but a lot of people also seem to hate blanche's art and style/look, which is fair enough to be fair as taste is subjective. Personally I find blanche's designs are very weird and have a unique feel and look to them iv never seen anywhere else allthough it's obviously inspired by certain things. I don't think WHF and 40k are original in the least, but I think blanche's look DOES make them standout and make them appealing in a way a lot of stuff out there isn't to me.
