Is there any news on the release date of our Forces book release date? Looking at privateer press's release schedule it doesn't look like it is coming out before August at the earliest since it isn't listed on their release schedule yet which goes through July.
I know for myself personally its getting kind of frustrating to be just about the only faction without a playable theme force...

Last I heard it was delayed 6 months. It was supposed to be out last month originally so I guess October?

I believe they talked about it in the NQ the week they rolled out the errata.
One of the staff ( Matt I believe) responded to someone on Facebook asking if we would see any more themes before the book dropped this fall and be gave a hard no.
I can't believe they have that much rebalancing to do that they couldn't drop the themes on warroom a little early though. I can only hope that it will be worth the wait like the errata was.

I mean I can understand the physical book needing to be delayed, editing and all that jazz but not releasing the theme forces when every other faction in the game has more than one now is just putting us back into the pre-errata position of being behind all the other factions. Most games I'm playing against my opponents I am playing with anywhere from 4-15 points less then them because of the benefits of their theme force. I know we have winds of death but I think everyone here agree's its pretty garbage when compared with the other theme forces out there.

Yeah 1 out of my last 20 games were against a non theme force lists.
Grimkin a faction that isn't even out yet has more themes then skorne.
That said they've been pretty firm that we have to be 6 months behind the other factions so I guess I can't really do anything other then pout until this fall. I've at least decided not to buy anymore skorne until then as the only protest I can really do.

I think this might be their form of punishing us for the great errata.

I don't know about "punishing us" per say but I believe this will be the state of Skorne going forward. We were a few months late to the Mk3 party as it were and all the other factions got a leg up on us.

the issue I have with it is that there is no reason to leave 1 faction behind when it's already underpowered. Even post-errata, our game wins are strictly based on player skill rather than model benefits. If 2 players of equal skill go at it and 1 is skorne and the other is any other faction in the game, we lose 9-10 times. Fixing this issue might take 6 months, but coming out with a few theme forces that allow us to combat the stronger factions should only take a few days, maybe a week.

Did they say your releases that come with the book would also be delayed?

Not having theme lists sucks.
ADR is most efficient when it's not restricted by a theme list.
Skorne has, since the Errata, had some fantastic Casters on ADR
My response to the situation has been to exclusively play ADR. It's worked pretty well for me.

This is Will's posts
"Because of the massive rework Skorne received, the command book also needed to be properly reworked and adjusted accordingly. While I understand this causes frustration, it's not done with malice. It's simply what had to happen to ensure a rework could properly be facilitated. We're working as fast as we can to get the book out in a timely manner."
And then when asked about a possible digital release of the theme forces before the books were physically released
"While I obviously cannot confirm anything (and honestly, I have no idea), anything is possible."

really do wish I could talk to them 1v1 but you know that's not possible. I hate having to tell people to not pick our faction due to the obvious flaws in the math and in the faction system.
