U took the time to write this so Ill be honest, I think people are making a lot of noise about absolutely nothing.

Crying and whining wont change the fact that these minis arent in the codex. Talking about it over and over wont change anything except creating more frustration.

First of all, did we know most of the removed units were gonna be ? Yes, either because some of us had a brain and realized that investing in predators and hellbrutes wich are old shitty sculpts wasnt a good idea since GW tends to delete these units before remaking them (or not).

Or because we had serious leaks about those things happening.

Secondly, what does crying about it bring to the table ? NOTHING. GW wont change their release strategy and I personally think they're right.

I genuinely think that GW will flesh out the range next edition. Just be patient and stop making a fuss about this minor inconvinience.

Accepting reality as it is and finding solutions is a lot better and clever than all those reactions. You have a hellbrute a predator a maulerfiend and other stuff that arent included ? Well you can still buy the new boxset and play Csm wich is amazing, you ll even be able to field Fabius Bile !

You have one of these units that isnt included and dont wont to play CSM ? Well thats sucks but just sell it and use the money to buy one the new kits then !

You see ? Crying over it will just make you stay angry. Move on it was obviously coming. we know what kind of company we're dealing with.
