While the Stormblade is in the newly revised IA1 book, so are the original Baneblade variants that got changed in the new Apoc book, I would assume those Stormblade rules to still be "official" until newer ones are published.

Apologies for the delay in getting the Newsletter up, but I was on a house hunting trip and decidedly busy. Also, all of the pertinent information has already been posted so shut up.

Imperial Armour: Apocalypse is the ultimate reference for using Forge World's extensive range of tanks, aircraft, fortifications and gargantuan creatures in cataclysmic games of Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse. Contained within this tome are over 75 updated unit profiles, ready to be added to armies for both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse, as well as 16 Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse Formations, and additional rules and options for the immense Tyranid Hierophant Bio-Titan. From the hideously warped Chaos Reaver and Warhound Titans and the sprawling precincts of the Necron City of the Dead, to the lightning-fast Eldar Hornet, this book contains vital additions to the arsenal of every major faction embroiled in the eternal war for control of the galaxy.
Also included is an entire new War Zone for use with the Warhammer 40,000 rules, War Zone: Vraks. Charting the course of the bloody wars that followed the apostate Cardinal Xaphan's conquest of the Imperial fortress world of Vraks, this war zone includes three full Apocalypse missions, as well as character profiles and Finest Hours for the war's key participants, and Strategic Assets and Unnatural Disasters unique to the Vraks conflict.
This book is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday 9th August. To celebrate the launch of Imperial Armour: Apocalypse, we also have a range of Battle Formation bundles available.

The Castellax is wondrous, I'm going to have to struggle not to buy a full unit immediately, my wallet would have an immediate stroke. Hoping against hope that they put out Experimental rules to use them in 40K like they have with the Heresy-era Space Marine vehicles.
The Magos....hmm. I don't know, I was expecting him to be hovering, with a shriveled old corpsicle techpriest suspended from the Blanchian shell-thing, instead he appears to be some kind of mechanical slug, and the pose makes him look rather like he's about to sprawl flat on his face. Still, the constituent parts are stunning, so I'll be getting one anyway even if only to hack apart and make several conversions out of.

All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal

The powerful Castellax pattern is the most common of the widespread Castellan-type Battle-automata in service at the outbreak of the Horus Heresy. A general battle unit developed by the Legio Cybernetica during the Great Crusade from its ancient forebear, it is primarily intended for siege work and shock assaults, and is heavily armed and armoured, with a notoriously aggressive and responsive machine spirit, which has fashioned for it an enviable reputation on the battlefield.
The Castellax, deployed in units of one to five by the Legio Cybernetica, has a standard configuration of bolter and bolt cannon armament, and is able to maintain a punishing barrage of firepower as it advances.
Designed by Will Hayes, the Castellax Battle-automata is a complete multi-part resin kit, and includes a mauler bolt cannon primary weapon and the choice of bolters or flamers as secondary weapons. This model is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday 30th August. Rules for this model can be found in our forthcoming Horus Heresy book.

Fusions of flesh and machine themselves, the Magos Dominus further armour and arm themselves for the battlefield by integrating their bodies into hovering abeyant platforms, studded with weapons, defensive systems and the means to control and augment their inhuman servants in battle.

The new Shadow Spectre rules are interesting. Significant price drop, but also a significant range drop on the Ghostlight. Although the Ghostlight is no longer an all-or-nothing proposition, it's possible to get partial success. As long as you have the Exarch with Prism blaster you need to hit 4 times to get to max S and AP, which shouldn't be too hard with 2 BS5 shots and 5 BS4 ones. The unstackable cover save is a bit of a pain, at least it's not range dependent now.

Both of these are excellent models and look great in that low-key Forgeworld painting style - I wonder how much longer I can stop myself from building an Mechanicum allied force! Frankly, however much I'd like AdMech to be a regular 40k army, I've much more trust in FW's designers to pull that off than the GW team.
