Dysartes has published an interview he did recently with Jervis Johnson on his website. You can find the interview here
http://www.dysartes.com/editorial/jervisinterview.html
The questions cover bits and pieces about all the different specialist games.
One bit I found interesting was Jervis mentioend the plans to overhaul the websites for each of the specialist games one by one. As each website gets updated, they will be adding new forums (instead of using the crappy ones at www.games-workshop.com) and a vault with trial rules\army lists for playtesting, similar to what exsists for Epic Armageddon.
Glad to see they are realising how useful the online playtesting can be, and deciding to release rule updates for free online instead of making people have to buy magazines\annuals to keep up to date.

Hi!
Sounds like a lot of work. I hope they actually get to do it. It would be a good resource.

The really, really good thing about this board and the E:A board is that they have the "show new posts" option so I don't have to go hunting for new discussions every time I visit. I don't care what they do to the other SG sites, as long as the forums have that feature....

And in case someone missed this:
Will there be some form of army list for Squats, so those with a Squat army can use the models already released - even if this just means putting an official seal on a fan list and dumping it in the Vault.
I don't like rules that stop players being able to use their models. Having said that, we've also got to go by what has been said by the Studio, so an official list, with points values, is pretty much out of the question. However, if someone wants to write a "Counts As" list, possibly based off Imperial Guard or Orks, and write up some datasheets in a similar manner to the collector's models in the back of the book, then I would consider printing such a proxy list. This does not mean create new units, vehicles or super-heavies, just the units they have back in Space Marine/Titan Legions - one of the problems with most lists on the internet is that people want to give the Squats new units; we won't be printing a list that does this. Once we know where the Studio and Forge World are thinking of taking the Demiurg, we may consider doing something for them. |

Yes, I read the interview when C/S posted it, IIRC.
It was all very interesting... but as always... we'll have to wait and see...

Hi!
I remember promises of making the whole old line available again with time...
I remember promises of plastic titans.....
I remember I lot of things that never came to be.
Let them concentrate on making their release schedule a reality before we get stuff that doesn't even exsist yet....

You know something Serps, I agree the feature is great, but I didn't realize this forum had it until a few months ago...
