Thanks to Bell of Lost Souls for these pics.  Now to check them out!

Sigh

I can hear my wallet crying.

Saved. I need this book.

Cool, thanks!

 

Tide of Spawn really really really blows. 

This looks Awesome. Apoc looks to be the coolist thing GW has done in quite a while.

Yeah, I was thinking that.Edit: Ah, true to his name, ninja has ninjaposted me. That was to AgeofEgos. As in, I was thinking that Tide of Spawn sucked.
It's visually impressive, but I'd use different spawn models to the new ones.
The necron phalanx thing is great, it's like something you'd read in a piece of fiction. I can just imagine the response "Focus fire on the South East Monolith!Bring it down! We must break the chain!"

While at work, I did a sneak peek at the BoLS page at the datasheets. Not only do Chaos get their own sheets, they also can use Imperial datasheets as well. If you look at the LineBreaker datasheet, it states that through Apoc rules, Chaos can use Imeprial datasheets.

For me: Renegade Basilisk Batteries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Freakin' Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Chaos thieving Impy datasheets - Yessssssssssssssssssss

@ Cron shroud - You see the points for that though? 250 + the points of the liths involved. Though it does start the liths off table in case you don't go first, and plonks them down wherever in front of your boys to protect your 50 destroyers from lashings and warriors from krak missile instant death, and engages the triangle of psyker death / WWB fun ... But that -1S thing is money, very cool.

@ Masters of the Chapter - Wow is that hard to get them on the table, I would have thought you could nab them individually for their abilities. But aye, one mega squad I suppose.

Also a fan of the basilisk marker shots.

I think it's weird how the rule release info. is getting leaked lately.   Can't really look at the sheets in depth now, but thanks for posting them.

 

 

 

 

That's the Tazok we know and love!

nice find! i already feel poor...

Hahahaha I can't stop laughing at the slowed short bus Hammerheads. Guess someone forgot to tell the camera guys to turn off the flower icon in the digicam and use zoom instead.

Nice. I can't wait!

Eldar Cloudstrike Squadron is the craziest thing I've seen in a while. All Eldar Falcons suddenly turn into flyers, gain unlimited movement for that turn, and naturally park right next to all of the enemy squads. You now need 6's to hit them unless you got AA mounts and can't attack them in CC at all. Like they weren't hard enough to destroy before. Next turn all the cargo disembarks and attacks you, and Falcons fire with Pulse "Lances". I love it.

At Therion: Well GW did try and make the Cloudstrike Squadron fair and balanced because you HAVE to buy Holo Fields. I mean, come on, who uses those.

I think it’s hilarious that you are required to use Holo Fields, because there is like two whole players in the world that don’t use them. Next they will say you can’t use a SM battle Company unless all the marines have Power Armor. Woot!

Do you have to paint the Imperial Fist Tank Company yellow? GW needs a thesaurus.

I kept reading it as "Emperor's First Tank Company" as in made by Playskool.  The perfect gift for your baby's first birthday!

Well thanks to Anglacon, we know that the vindicator line breaker squadron costs $95 instead of $120.

Jesus....I am going to go soooooo broke.

The embargo has been lifted.

This autarch must be screaming because he cant reach the bit of toilet paper that stuck to the tip of  his lance to releive his hemorrhoids.... He should buy an inflatable donut for the seat of his jetbike.

Remove that stupid piece of toilet paper and my shining spear exarch has a new longer penis envy weapon.

Hi eyeballs are probably like raisins after hurtling along a 400 mph without a helmet on. That would explain the agonised expression.

I really hope he comes with a helmet option...

I found a better quality pic of the Autarch. Seems like the final sculpt has sunglasses to protect the eyes.

LOL... so you guys pretty much think the model looks like this then:

Jeremy Clarkson doesn't approve of jetBIKES for middle-aged Autarchs, mister!

Anglacon - Yeah...

I have a question from this link. WHY WOULD YOU EVER BUY A TERMINUS? I know how slim the odds of four ones is, but for the love of GOD. What a useless tank.

Quick, some Math Hammer geek* figure out what the chances of 4 1's out of 5 dice are.

*by geek I mean really smart statistics guy

It has less to do with the overcharged lazerbeamguns and more to do with looking like it was made by stupid orks. And I don't mean that orks in general are stupid (even though they are) but an ork who is considered stupid even by his own race of idiots.

Hmm lemme just fire my gun into the back of my other gun for a SUPER LASER!

Photo Shop for the WIN! Now I want that Autarch.

As for the Terminus LR, yeah it's silly, but it does fire 5 Las cannon shots a turn. That's kinda beefy, however it does look lame. So I expect to have to fight them all the time. And have arguements over how all the Las cannons can't see the target the "LRT" is shooting at. Fun Fun Fun.

the chances of rolling 4 1's out of five dice are 1 out of 7,776, which is a 0.000127% chance. The chances of getting five 1's on five dice [just to let you know, I have gotten 7 1's on 8 dice before, making crappy WBB rolls] is 1 out of 46,656, which is a really weird number.

RE: The Terminus.

Actually - it's not hopeless. I know what I would try doing, though...

1) Trim the dangling power cables off the singleton lascannon. (who puts power connections where they can be shot off, anyways!)
2) "flip" the sponson mount so it is upside down, and then mount the lascannon below it. It looks like it should work, which would give both weapons a 180 degree sweep.

Considering the Land Raider has no suspension or ground clearance to speak of - the fact the gun's ground clearance is negligible as well is nothing to worry about...
It'll also make a dandy lawn mower!

If that doesn't work, I'd remove the top sensor pod over the lascannons and mount the third lascannon there, with the sensor pod on it's side next to it.

Of course - the odds of me buying one of these to play with is rather slim, but hey....

1/7776 isn't too bad. I'll take those odds for not destroying my Landraider terminus. The rules are still vague about what it can target though...
