So more proof GW doesn't know or care about their own lore. Their justification for saying the Steel Legion wasn't in the Yarrick trailer was because huge majority of them had been wiped out. They represent a fraction of the fighting force yada yada.

It's less that they don't know their own lore I guess and more that the Writers are still dog shit with numbers. Because assuming the Steel Legion had a fighting population of say a million men fighting on their home planet, which that still feels low mind you, they'd be fighting with a force of 450,000 men. That's still a shit ton of men.

France in WW1 had 2 million men on the Western front consistently throughout the war, so the Steel Legion, fighting on their home planet would have way more than just a million which is my lowbrow estimate. They'd probably have most of the planets population fighting, so why weren't they in the trailer James? It's almost as if you forgot about them and wanted to push more Cadians and Krieg.

You should never treat Warhammer Community articles as canon, especially when it's a hastily written one in response to complaints.

There was a lot of people mad about it (and continue to be to this day) but otherwise yes.

I think the anger is exaggerated nowadays. I wasn't really online at the time so hard to say the wider feeling but at my local GW nobody minded too much.

From my observations, the people who seem most upset about the Tau are the type who only know the hobby through meme-lore (Krieg shovels LMAO) whining about "space commies" than people I actually meet with and play against.

More people in my local scene were upset about the Necron change than the Tau release, remember that?

40k numbers are so funnily retarded that they should really just add a couple billion to each human statistic without any issue or just never mention it at all, iirc wasnt the entire krieg response on Vraks just barely over the number of contemporary US enlisted?

Yeah 40k authors are terrible at numbers, it's very silly
