Folks,

Shamelessly reposted (and with thanks) from, in my opinion, the best 40K blogspot on the Net, Bell of Lost Souls - originally posted by BigRed.

<h3 class="post-title entry-title">RUMORS: Codex: Ruinous Powers updates </h3>

These rumors brought to the community from Warseer's: Grimtuff

"My mate was up at head office last week and got a look at the release list for next year. (up till June IIRC) On it was the Daemon stuff scheduled for an April release.

Little confirmation:
There are two Daemon books coming out simultaneously. One for 40K, one for WHFB. It is NOT one book.

Also, he saw the sprues for Daemonic Heralds and (i'm loving this one) Unbound Defilers

The Unbound Defiler kit is an upgrade sprue for the current Defiler, making it look a lot like some of the "fleshy Doom-esq" ones you see on CMON etc. from time to time.

Also, in the same month as the Foundation inks are released. GW is releasing an Airbrush. It is made to look like a Hand Flamer apparently

All for now."

-hmmm, the plot thickens... Several of these rumors are in direct conflict with several of the earlier ones, but companies do change plans, and this is more than a month more recent.

Cheers,

Padre^.

well, that does sound much more likely then a combinded book.
what are demonic heralds?

....hey....that would mean....plastic pleaguebearers!

**Kid_Kyoto**

All I care about is whether or not it had chaos cults (meaning crazy loonies looking to overthrow the Space Emperor) in some way shape or form.

I'm only assuming this is a throwback to the old demon days...but before Heralds were Heroes for demons. Not quite a Demon Prince...but still better. Given they would be missing any Hero slots without them, I would bet in the new book they'll be the same.

Grey Knights will have a use now!?

In Storm of Chaos (the WHFB supplement) you can get a Daemonic Herald for the all-Daemon Daemonic Legion. Like AgeOfEgos said, better than a unit hero, not as good as a prince. And also a battle standard bearer.

didn't "Codex: Naugh-tay Marines" make it through customs yet?

**Kid_Kyoto**

By cultists I mean WS2, BS2 humies who crawl out of the sewers. Not Nauty Marines Painted Red.

**Jester**

I would much rather have an army of mutants, traitors, and scum, all led by the Fallen Commisar Maccabeus Kyontes than some treetrunk-necked Red Evil Marine and his equally Red and Evil mates any day.

Personally, I'd prefer an army of hot naked supermodels (who worship the Dark Gods) than any of those things!

Too bad hand flamers don't exist anymore...

Foundation inks sound cool.

The airbrush thing I'm iffy about. It's likely to be a pretty simple model and use propellant cans for air (which GW will be all too happy to sell for 150% the normal cost and with a shiny label on the side). Everyone I've talked about getting a modelling airbrush with have always been adamant that one should go straight to buying an inexpensive air compressor, which not only gives one superior painting results, but will in fact be cheaper on the longer run by eliminating a repeat investment.

At the same time, I'm wondering if an airbrush is even a sensible tool for most Warhammer players. Unless you're painting an armored company in a soft-edged camo scheme, of course.

**Scottywan82**

What's a soft edged camo scheme?

**TragicNut**

This is a soft-edged camo scheme

**Toreador**

I used the cheap Testors propellant can one for all of my guard vehicles. It was cheap, and worked well. In the long run, it wouldn't have been good for me to go high dollar as it would have been a waste. Cheap worked well for my needs and gave me the same results.

Kid Kyoto: I am using all the Foundry Babes & Street girls as Conscripts for my IG army. I also have my Pimp (aka Independent Commissar) leading them:

Using Doctor Friday, its perfect! (his cane is a power weapon&a pistol!) Still not sure what a "Yardie" means.....

By the way, where did you locate the Body Guard models on that site? I cannot seem to find them.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Copplestone castings, bodyguards in bikinis.

A Yardie is a british derogatory term for a Jamaican immigrant. It comes from the Kingston Yards, government housing projects in Jamaica.

**Gundammecha**

Yardie is also Slang for a Jamacian Gangster.

which is what it means in these models context.

**imthedci**

Yeah, like the Yardies in GTA 3.
