I don't think I've seen it anywhere, but does anyone know if the question had been asked when the old FW stuff was going to be updated for 7th?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I think FW have said 'soon', but whether that translates to before 8th is launched who knows

**Nid Bits**

Any news yet if the new Imperial Amour book has Mycetic Spores? Or any models not in the Tyranid codex?

**Medium of Death**

I don't imagine that they'll be Mycetic Spores as there was no Hive Fleet involved AFAIK.

**Bloodhorror**

Nah there are no Mycetic spores listed on the Contents page of the book which sucks :(

Meiotic Spores Yes.
Mycetic. No :(

So frustrating. Grrr.

Anyways, whoever gets a copy of the book needs to let us know what the Elysians have now. It looks like a bunch of formations on the Contents page, that, or they now have very unique squads.

**Looky Likey**

Its squads, no formations that my quick flick showed up.

**Grarg**

Any changes to Loth/Culln?

Culn gets a third iteration of his rules, the book from when saw it was mostly Codex Red Scorpions, without being called Codex Red Scorpions.

**Haighus**

He already had 3 iterations- Culln the Veteran Sergeant, Culln the First Captain and Culln the Chapter Master. How exactly have his rules changed? I'm guessing it contains an updated version of Culln the Captain.

**gorgon**

Darn. I'm going to have to get the new book. Tyranids really got some love. My Malanthrope just got moved to the top of my painting list.

Really? Interesting. Did you happen to see their rules?

**Looky Likey**

The D-99 have had a complete revamp, now WS4 BS4 vs. WS3 BS4, stat line is the same. They gain preferred enemy 'nids, lose the hit on 3+.

Vets can only take one special weapon, however extermination squads can take up to ten flamers, executioner squads can take up to ten meltas or plasma, decimation can either be snipers or breacher charge wielders.

Vulture is 25 points more expensive but comes with free mandatory multi lasers, so for example punisher build is 25 points more expensive. Can take in squadrons of 2, which suits me as I run them like that.

Lok has had a major change, much more flexible now, new rules on left:

I can't find Culln's rules in the old book, but he has rules in the new book.

**BrookM**

An I5 Imperial Guard commander..?

People at my store are going to whiiiiiiiiine about that one!

**Looky Likey**

D-99 look to be bonkers, they read like a S3/T3 FW Space Marine Legion List.

**BrookM**

That heavy chainsword, this is prolly a melee weapon with AP6 right?

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also, can veteran sergeants take lasguns?

**Looky Likey**

I can't see the rules for the heavy chainsword in the book. D-99 sergeants can't take lasguns, all but the sniper one gets the usual other upgrades though.

**Baragash**

I thought Heavy Chainswords made it into the BRB now?

**BrookM**

Well, insert a lot of expletives here then, they sell those squads with lasguns for their sergeants, only command squads come with pistols. Damn it FW!

Automatically Appended Next Post:
And yes, +2S, AP5 and two-handed for the heavy chainsword, yay.

**Looky Likey**

Baragash wrote:

That explains why I couldn't find them in IA4 then!

**Haighus**

Awesome, Lok can now be taken as an Inquisitorial HQ as well instead of a Guard HQ, I can include him with my Guard easier now. Have always loved that model (also an Inquisitor with an invulnerable save!

)

**Eldercaveman**

What are the rules for the new Red Scorpion Dreadnaught and the 'Tears of the Scorpion' relics

**Looky Likey**

Tears of the scopion is an upgrade to either a sword, axe, maul or spear. First two are +2S, second two are +3S. They come with Murderous Strike, which is instant death on a 6. Axe is not unwieldy, instead has -1I.

Halar is a WS5 Dread with Flamestorm cannon, power fist, storm bolter, extra armour, monster hunter. If his final HP is lost and isn't an explodes he survives another turn, gains preferred enemy everything, and ignores any further HP unless is an explodes, remove at end of that turn.

**Enigwolf**

Interesting. Despite that they're I5 now though, they won't last against anything that hits back at them. Although being able to min/max special weapons in a squad, though, without having to take a Drop Infantry Platoon for the Special Weapons Squads (which are still 3 weapons/6models at best)...

I could see myself doing an army of D-99 main, spamming special weapons, with the list for IA3E2 for the heavy stuff (Imp. Navy Air support)...

No, he can only be taken as a HQ choice for D-99, Grey Knights, and Inquisition, not IG. D-99 counts as its own separate army list from IG.

**Haighus**

Yeah, that is what I said- he never used to be able to be taken as part of an Inquisitorial detachment, even in his most up-to-date PDF rules on FW's website. Now he can, so it is super easy to add him to an IG army (or any other Imperial army for that matter). I was wrong in saying he used to be a HQ choice for an IG army though, it used to be for an Elysian Drop troops army.

**Eldercaveman**

Death Korps back in stock, on mobile so can't post full links...

is the infantry range.

Army lists for the Death Korps of Krieg can be found in Imperial Armour Volume Twelve: The Fall of Orpheus. The latest rules and army list downloads can be found here.

**BrookM**

Much to my amazement, my book just came in.

And well packed and protected at that!

Leafing through the army list now and I4 veterans?

Automatically Appended Next Post:
And holy crap, that equipment!

**Medium of Death**

Are the rules for all the Tyranid bio-monstrosities in the new book? Like the Hierodules & Hierophant? I'm just hoping FW having gimped it by not including the rules.

Those are in, as are both variants of the Hierodule are present.
