I am wondering if the lack of impact means we have reached a good balance? I like the conversation about what is balance, is, 6-0 for every army a balance or 4-2 and what not. Very cool. I also like the fact they talk about what type of players play each army, atleast the the last videos. An example of this is Space Marines being played by many new players, Astra militarum being very expensive to get into, Druhkari and genestealers being very high ceiling. This has an impact on data as well. So far i really like the videos and gets me thinking about the game in a different way.

An honest assessment of the Meta and their efforts to moderate it from the GW team. I appreciate their lack of spin on the subject.
And it looks like new Mission Pack and points in Jan?

looks like new Mission Pack and points in Jan? Correct, we can expect new mission pack, possibly with primary or secondary objective changes, and field manual for points and power level on or around Jan 15th 2023. I would also expect this will likely coincide with the full release of the astra militarum book so that they can FAQ/update the dataslate at the same time to sync everything up. |

I had a chance to watch the interview last night. i like it, they were pretty open with the discussion, and it's neat to hear from thier perspective of how they try and handle it. 40k is complex (which is why we play 40k, let's be real, if it was easy, it wouldn't be as intricate or layered or flavorful in terms of lore tied mechanics etc etc., I'd just pick up a board game otherwise)
I dunno who he was but the dude on the left had some neat insights regarding the stat number how they crunch all that data into a meaningful picture. and it got me thinking about the math and that tunneled my mind into Stat analysis math like linear algebra and then my mind was like it's OK, shut her down, let those dudes figure it out lol

dude on the left was Mike Brant - the guy who created NOVA, and was one of the playtesters this edition... and now works for GW on the competitive balance side.
