The Krieg uprising didn't happen until 433.M40

Websites back up

I know a lot of people have differing opinions regarding the Stormhammer... but $£%& the emperor I think it is glorious!!!

And yes BrookM the Krieg Civil War was definitely in the M40.... raises a cool question as to what the troops would have been like previously though...

Whilst they wouldn't have the distinctive gas masks, and maybe the long greatcoats, I don't see anything to suggest they would look like Cadians? Based on the design cues of their aesthetic, an early WWI or late 19th theme seems more likely to me. The weaponry is probably identical, as they are still likely to be using the Lucius pattern equipment with Lucius being the closest major FW.

Man, that Stormhammer is sexay. I like the Panther like track guards it has.

Which edition was Doom of Mymeria for?

5th I think.

Say what you want about it not having the double barrels on the top sponson, but holy crap that is a cool looking tank. I want one.

*carresses wallet*

Soon, my friend. Soon.

Really?

I'm probably the biggest True Stormhammer Fan on this site - if not in the entire world - and even I have moved past it at this point!

Also, sponsons go on the side, the turret goes up top.

Hopefully the Solar Auxilia command squad won't be far behind now, I'm dying to get my hands on those veterans.

Yeah they were post Heresy by a mile, I worded that very poorly. I'm hoping some form of Imperial Army unit will have the rules/equipment to allow me to use Engineers with shotguns, demo charges etc in a 30k army. Imperial Army units were incredibly diverse so they wouldn't look out of place in my opinion, I just really want to find a use for the models so I have an excuse to buy them.

Auxilia command need to come out soon, agreed. Hopefully next week, along with that RoB tile with the Turbolaser emplacement.

I'm really liking the Stormhammer. Is there any way to use it in 40K, or is it 30K only? It would be a glorious centerpiece to a DK army...

The Stormhammer is as of right now 30K only, though that shouldn't stop peeps from fielding it in 40k.

until FW brings up something dumb like "The STC was lost during the Heresy"

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. Though a bit of retcon here and there to bring it back to 40k wouldn't surprise me either.

New Bulletin.


Has some nice pics of some of the models and a shot of The Scyllax Guardian-automata we saw a wee while back.


All nice enough one supposes.

need/want scyllax!

Hey, has anyone else had an order recently that's taken ages to be dispatched? I don't know if FW are snowed under or not but I made an order two weeks ago and its only been acknowledged.

It does take a little while sometimes, I think they prettyyyy much cast to order, and they had to cast up loads of stuff for the weekender so there's probably a little bit of backlog they're clearing through. Give them a ring if in doubt.

They may also be backed up from all the orders they got from the Heresy Weekender.

Ether that or if pollux was in it since preorder.

I just got a conformation that he left the building this morning.

No, I ordered the Cadian hostile environment melta/plasma conversion kits and the solar auxilia Flamer squad.
Actually that's probably it then.

Any clue why IA: 11 is under new releases? Did they re-print it?

Reduced price, stock clearance and no more print runs of that version.

It's because it's going out of stock, there's not many left. Well, about 750 left.

Nope you're not the only one. I made a £200 order on the 9th of January that didn't turn up. After a while I called them and asked them what was going on. I got told that they were waiting for something to arrive and then they'd pack it up and send it off. I waited another week and still nothing.

I rang again on the 13th of Feb and was told a completely different story. I was told that my package was actually sent on the 9th of January when I ordered it and that they'd actually sent my order to some lucky fellow in the states. So on the 13th of Feb after a few words over the phone they offered me free express shipping on my next order and said that they'd send the order out again to the correct address along with an email with the order number. It's now the 23rd of Feb and I still haven't had the order I placed around 45 days ago. I did speak to them this morning and they told me that if it isn't here by Friday, I should ring back and get them to send another lot out.

I never had a problem with their customer service before but this is getting a bit silly.

I live just under 2 hours away from Warhammer World...

It can be a clusterfeth from time to time. I had a missing piece once that I called about, they'd promise I'd get it express shipped as soon as possible. It did turn up, several months later after I've given up on it.

It can be yea. Several months? Not surprised you gave up.

I want to make another order but I won't be doing until I get the one from January.

It's not just you.

In the past, I'd order something over the weekend, I would get a "Shipped" notification on Tuesday, and receive the item the following Tuesday. Almost like clockwork, for over a dozen orders. My last two orders took a month to receive, nothing was back-ordered, and one item was pre-order (but I only ordered it 3 days before the release date).
