I'll let you on a pet peave.Which may explain why GW are trying to create so much new metierial for Chaos Space Marines. They did not truly finnish the army

. All other Codex:s I own, IS Marines, D Angels, S Angels, Space Wolves, Dark Eldar, Tyranids all have miniatures representing any and all unit choices.

Now with Chaos Space Marines. there are to blatent and conspicuous omissions. Cultits and Chosen.

You may say you get them both in Dark Vengance or mention the five man Cultist boxed squads.

Not in eitherare these true miniatures kits as what we expect from GW, but also show a huge a lack of effort and/or vision on there part. before I go on Ineed everyone to understand I love Games Workshop and almost every piece of work they've done. but this realy upset me they gave us beautiful examples of what they had in mind for Cultist and Cultist models but then forget to give us a boxed kit with all the weapon and head options. That is wrong. OK? you can't do that.

Any way Ithink we'll probably see kits for those soon too.

Now to address Abadabadoobaddon's coment.

You quite right. GW have been rather lax on the Slaash for 40K front. We got a few nice daemon units and nothing for the mortals. But hink on what you actually posted.

You dont think GW would my a Codex: for the forces of Slaanesh because they've not relesed new for that specific Chaos Power for along time.

OK we got a new Kharn with Traitor's Hate, a few days to week after Iget tipped off to new Codex: new Tzeentch models are anounced.

Throughout the extensive time I've hobbied within the 40K universe (been playing since 2nd Edition) I've found that the time we usually see new miniatures releases is when a new Codex: is released.

So your coment is probably more an argument for a new Slaanesh Codex: than one against.

Wait and see. Probably more waiting, and less seeing, if past is anything to go by... And then, what comes out will have great Fluff, but terrible play.

Codex: Khorne Daemonkin saw a Bloodthirster and that was it.

Traitor's Hate saw Kharn.

So I fully expect 1 new Slaanesh unit should a new book be made. To share between Marines & Daemons, of course.

I want to see an everchosen-kind of army.

Yes one model and a lot of formations. But then Khorne armys where still playing OK. Nurgle work OK too. But Slaanesh realy needs some help.

Right now if the Codex:s and so fourth come out as I've been told they will. They may release new berzerkers because a lot of people say they look goofy by todays standards.

personally I still like them the aesthetic still looks coherent alongside the new Kharn. If they had made a dramatic change to Kharn's appearance, then they would have had to had to have changed to keep a good fit between the units.

I would Like to new miniatures for the other 4 characters from the Chaos Big 5, Same design more or less as they are now but more dinamic poses.

We're definitely getting new Thousand sons so it's probably safe to say new noise marines are on the way.

Don't think they'll make new plque marine sculpts but they'll make probably convert them to plastic. I think now that one can fine sculpt in plastic. resin models are going to disappear outside Forge World altogether.

If we see Malal elevated to a "true" Major God of Chaos, that would be awesome!

I'd like to see plastic Flesh Hounds, Fiends and Beasts of Nurgle.

My wallet is ready. Always wanted to start a Thousand Sons army.

I think Games Workshop will be plastic only in the very near future.

In my time with Games Workshop I have seen the death of lead, the death of white metal and pewter, and now I wil witness the demise of resin at the hands hands of the Plastipocalypes.

Just wait until GW releases the miniatures in marzipan instead of plastic.

At least they'll have (terrible pun) tasty rules.

I said it and I deserve to suffer.

Has the War zone fenris sequal even been confirmed? So far we just got some artwork.

When they posted the Silver Towers in space artwork on facebook, they did call it Warzone Fenris part II, it should still be online if you want to check it.

OK, I think War Zone Feris is almost a dead cert.

I think they're gonna be building up to a Black Crusade campaign book like Codex: Eye of Terror, wihich is pretty cool.

I just pray ff they take the story into the 41K era they don't ruin the game by change the game play mechanic like they did when the released Age of Sigmar, hate that game.

The rules aren't quite as awful as the truly abominable rules to the Lord of the Rings game, but still horible.

I used to have 5 armies, but 1 game of Age of Sigmar and they were on EBay. shame I loved my wood elves. But as long as the don't completely destroy 40K, Then I don't mind if they bring back the surviving primarch's or kill the Emperor

No Offence to anyone who loves AoS.

It just I find the rules are over simplified, multiple wounds on everything is ridiculous and the hero phase could be OK but feels weird, as it is.

It would be OK to have multiple games with different rules set in the same uivurse but binning a perfectly good game is probably not the best to do it.

Damn I mourn that game.

From what I've heard they aren't going to be doing a full AoS-ing to 40k. The story will be advanced but will be 30 seconds to midnight instead of 2 minutes. The rules will be cut down and go to a 'warscroll' format, but not to the level of a 4-page ruleset (that needs a full rulebook release before it works). Basically GW understands that with fantasy they went full Sigmar.

Never go full Sigmar.

I know I'm just some dude on a forum but for what it's worth that aligns with everything I've heard too.

Mentioned this in the future gw releases, but i was looking at the new WD and in the hints for next month it said "After Prospero."

There is nothing major for AoS coming in the next two months afaik. Bloodbowl is November and 1k sons in December.

Yeh. I'm still nervous.

AoS, realy was bad. I'd hate to see them wreck the last good war game that isn't hitorical reinactment.

I like having a nice codex with back story, weapons with there own stats and special rules separate to the models wielding them.

I thought the Hero Phase could be fun if intergrated carfully enough. and all units must have propper stat lines and upgradable options.

Basically if they AoS the game at all I can see myself looking for comparative prices on napolionic cavalry.

Yea we might want to cut the AoS talk right there. Every time it is brought up on this forum or any other I've seen, it just devolves into the mother of all arguments.

Back to chaos stuff.

Since 1ksons are just a month away hopefully we will get some rumors on what kind of units, powers or formations we are to expect.

Huh. That's the first time I've seen you peg a timeframe for Thousand Sons.

Is December for Rubrics aswell? I thought it was just gonna be Magnus but actual Thousand Sons release in December would be an awesome crimbo present.

What I would actually do is take current rules system and convert all new units to rules that work and play games with my brother and a handful of friends, who also hate boring unimaginative over simplified rules with no depth or creativety.

Yeh I'd feel really bad about not being able to go and play at my local GW store.

But I will not play baby hammer just to fit in with hypocritical sicophants.

One guy at my local says he won't play 40K if they butcher the rules, yet I know he's gonna be pushing them on little kids who've never seen a good rule system in their poor short lives. Then once he's done he'll go home hop in the shower and cry untill he feels just a little less dirty.

Don't think for one minute I feel strongly about this, by the way.

Atia coming in with the good news!

I'm not all that interested in Blood Bowl (not to say it's a bad game. A game with that kind of rabid following this long after its official death has to be pretty good), but I am budgeting some time and resources for a Thousand Sons army. The bulk of my rubrics will be made using the current conversion kits, MK. IV armor from Betrayal at Calth and my small mountain of Tomb Kings bits, which has me excited about having the basic troops out of the way for Big Red and any special units they may get!

Edit:
Now that I think about it, I do wonder what all we should expect as far as units besides Magnus, Ahriman, Rubric Marines and Rubric terminators. I'm sure that generic TS Sorcerers will be in the book, but will there be any special units to represent the special organization of the Legion? Like Corvidae terminator sorcerers and what not?

Yeah, debate on saving for another Dwarf Fund or blowing it on 1K Sons
As for the rest, I can't say.

If you don't feel strongly about it, stop posting, it's off topic in a news and rumour forum.

GW could not find a window for the Silver Tower Tzeentch models to be re-released and/or get multipart kits this year? It seemed like the next weeks are so empty. Only some hobby products according to the WD...

I sadly have no ETA for the arcanists (but they should take the stage as big badies for AoS next afaik) - but they reboxed the heroes (well, they are pretty pricey soooo). So who know's *shrugs*. It's usually one big release per month and filler for the other weeks now - hence it feels rather slow.

Yes, it does :( I will keep nine fingers crossed though. Genestealer Cults still arrived after it looked like they wouldn't when there was a week of emptiness after DW. And Burning of Prospero is big but it's hard to believe that will be it until the 19th of November (BB). The last two years were so packed with releases in comparison
