Just IG and Panzees? Pass.

Very, very, interesting. I was looking through the New Stuff section only this morning, being disappointed as usual that nothing was yet forthcoming.

I will simply have to order one as soon as I get home to my full money-spending potential

Of course, as an Eldar player.. I'm hyped about this release.

The Imperium can suck on the business end of our D-Cannons.

Badab War bored me as I find Space Marines to be the most boring thing in 40k. This will catch my interest as I like Eldar vs Imperial fluff in general due to the complexities that can arise from it. The 3-part Vraks war was great in my opinion as a Chaos player because it showcased what a true Chaos war should be: not only CSM but also legions of heretics, mutants, beastmen, traitor titans, and daemons.

As for the title, the Doom of Mymeara is clearly why the Eldar are attacking in the first place. They are seeking to destroy something on the planet that will bring about the Doom Mymeara. Of course as this is IA and this isn't against chaos, the Imperium will lose. However at the same time the Eldar will just leave after completing their objective, and the Imperium will think it won.

While I hope there is much more to it than that, I wouldn't bet against you, sir.

What are you talking about? Looking at the Table of Contents, there's 3 pages on Space Marines in this book.

Yea it's not like they get half the codexes already, when was the last time an IA book came out with no marines in it?

**Kroothawk**

AFAIK first GW/FW rulebook credited to a woman (so of course the pantsy Eldar will win

):

Anyway, here the newsletter #292:

Hi there,

Just when you thought Forge World had revealed all of its pre-Christmas releases, in today’s newsletter we are delighted to announce that Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara is now available to order.

Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara

The Imperial ice world of Betalis III is under attack from the combined might of three massive Eldar war hosts. Their motivation for attacking this seemingly insignificant planet is unknown, but General Myndoras Odon of the Cadian 6th Armoured Regiment is intent on bringing about the total destruction of these Eldar invaders.

Wielding the might of three Imperial Guard regiments and joined by the savage strength of Bran Redmaw’s Great Company and the colossal power of Titans from the Legio Gryphonicus, the Eldar of Craftworld Mymeara, Craftworld Alaitoc and their Corsair allies may soon regret attacking one of the Emperor’s worlds.

Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara provides a detailed account of the Eldar invasion, as well as background and rules for its protagonists, the Eldar of Craftworlds Mymeara and Alaitoc, their Corsair kin and the forces of the Imperium. Also included are profiles for new special characters, machines of war, and a new Eldar Warrior Aspect squad, the Shadow Spectres.

This 224-page full colour hardback book, written by Talima Fox, is packed with vehicle and infantry profiles, three Apocalypse datasheets, a campaign section and an Eldar Corsair army list. In addition the book also contains a detailed background and technical section covering the existing Forge World Eldar range.

We’re still able to ensure pre-Christmas delivery for this book as long as you select Express delivery when you place your order. The first 500 copies of this eagerly awaited book ordered either online or over the telephone will also be signed by the author, Talima Fox, making an ideal Christmas gift for any fan of Warhammer 40,000.

Well, since I want to highlight all the mistakes in the Black Library books and send them to BL and ask if they actually employ editors, it isn't surprising that a GW offshoot that sells resin products wouldn't edit their books very well either.

But the Forge World books are MUCH too expensive to highlight in and send back. And really, while still sad, if the "professional" literary-wing can't

do their editing in a half-

manner, I am not as upset by FW.

The FW books are beautiful and convey what they're designed to be. The BL books are JUST words, and when they're misspelled or, idiotically, correctly spelled words inserted by some kind of 'spell check' program instead of the original word, you just wonder WTF? Why are these people even employed? This is a professional product, designed solely to make money on a mass market, and still its churned out. However, the FW books are low production run, niche market items.

Off topic, but I thought it was Gull-y-Man.

Is it Gill -y- man?

Gee-yee-man?

**Manchu**

He's French! Why do you think he has that OUTRAGEOUS accent, you silly kronk?

Now pronounce it correctly or I shall taunt you a second time.

Doesn't having the same person do the writing as well as the editing and proofreading partly defeat the purpose of the last two?

**Kirasu**

I ordered my copy.. I hope it's good! Was waiting for this book before I got any more Eldar stuff

**Absolutionis**

The Eldar that feature are a newly-introduced Craftworld Mymerra and the well-known Craftworld Alaitoc; Alaitoc is well known for its love of Rangers, trade, and close-relation with corsairs.

The book is titled the Doom of Mymeara (name of a craftworld).

Analysis based purple on titles alone:

Chapter One: Ghosts in the Shadows.
Eldar are ghostyshadowy all the time. This is the "something's not right here, oh it's Eldar" chapter. Inevitably, it's the IG Cadians having skirmishes with Mymeara Eldar.

Chapter Two: The Silence Ends.
Eldar stop being ghostyshadowy and bring in war machines. This is probably Alaitoc joining the battle. They have big stuff because they're big.

Chapter Three: Dark Times.
The stores are from the Imperial perspective. Dark Times means they're losing the battle. Oh noes! Hang in there Cadians!

Chapter Four: The Tide Turns.
SPESS MAHREENS! We're saved! They also brought over some Elysians, I guess. Eldar are fought back. A couple Avatars of Khaine are also beaten back; after all, the Avatar is the punching bag of the "modern" era, preferred by both Space Marines and Tyranids alike. All three pages of Space Marines share a bro-fist-bump with one another (not Necrons) and go home.

That is my analysis of the book based purple on the titles.

Yes I thought it was Gully-man also.

But, Space Marine pronounces it 'Gwuilly man'. Like, if you say 'willy' and add a G to the front. Gwilly man, or gwiellyman. I'm sure there is a joke in there somewhere?

**Lone Cat**

looks like FW gets a full attention on Craftworld Eldar like they never did before.

**chaos0xomega**

FW apparently doesn't want my money, the site keeps declining my card...

BTW, in case you didn't notice, if you look closely at the scan of the Shadow Specters entry:

new unit size 3-6 minis (now you dont have to leave an extra mini at home because you want an exarch!)
weapon range is 18" base, but only increases 6" instead of 12" for each mini joining the combined shot
Each mini can also fire a small blast template with bolter stats as an anti-personnel option
Oh, and the combined shot is now a small blast as well

**Noisy_Marine**

Ah yes, Eldar ... that race that I like but will probably never play.

And in the first Garro audio drama it sounds like Goo-lee-man.

Possibly a silly question, but have you checked that the problem isn't your card?

Yes. Mastercard told me to check with my financial institution, my financial institution told me to check with mastercard...

H.B.M.C. wrote:Should we take bets on how badly the Imperium loses this one?

Why would they? The Eldar will obviously get their asses handed to them. The book is called "The Doom of Mymaera". Mymaera is a craftworld. The last chapter is also called "The Tide Turns". Imperium will probably win a major victory.

**HoverBoy**

Yea the SW will roll up on their reavers riding warhounds and stomp everything.

**UsdiThunder**

Remember Eldar always lose the battle, but win a moral victory everytime.

And they summon an Avatar at the last moment only to have it destroyed.

IIRC at GD UK they said they hoped to release 2 models for him, one regular version and, it was assumed, one in his "wolfed out" mode.

Hope they stick to this but I guess it'll depend on how his rules work.

They showed one ( prototype ?) at GD.

Thank you good sir!

Mastercard always gives FW problems. They've had to rework their site several times to accept it, and every time they've done it--it suddenly happens again half a month later.

If you can wait, we'll see IA11 on the GW site proper for around $75 but without shipping costs tacked on around the middle of January. They have to wait for a decent stock level(usually around 1k books) to reach Memphis, and then the webteam puts it up on the US site.

So, Kan, the question is who at Mastercard got such a bad miscast back in the day that they're trying to prevent people buying FW products?

**Thousand Nuns**

Ordered, hopefully come in time for xmas looking forward to seeing the Elysians getting butchered again. 4 books in a row will it be this time round?
