What I find really strange (and highly annoying) that on the terminators part of the torso is attached to the legs.

Serious question for everyone who is upset about how their 100% assault marine army is no longer 'viable.'

I'm sitting here like, shoot, drop two scout sniper squads for 120 points, and then you can take 30 assault marines and 4 elite choices worth of vangaurds / sang guards / death company, and then throw in a command squad if you have a spare HQ.

That's a lot of jump packs, and the troop tax of 120 pts seems pretty negligible considering they can hold two points on your side of the board.

So that's my question, in 6th and 7th edition up until now, did you use literally NO units to hold points on your side of the board, and if so, how the hell did you win?

Especially in 6th, where you would have needed a shooty troop choice to hold points on your side of the board, and sniper scouts were just slightly bad and tacticals were terrible.

my 5th and 6th edition army was based around 5 man assault squads in razorbacks a s priest or 2 and lots of fast tanks, I did the av13/razorback spam. I won games by crushing my enemies, seeing them driven before me, and hearing the lamentation of there women. I didnt need to hold any objectives on my side of the board if I stopped you from holding any objectives on your side of the board

My army is no longer valid for 2 reasons
1. I can no longer use assault marines as troops
2. I can no longer put my assault marines into razor backs

I did see that but the single exception doesn't negate the general rule.

Umm... of course it does.

If you claim there are no black swans, a single specimen will prove that wrong, even if it's only one among thousands. Simple laws of logic.

Of course, you could've phrased your original claim in a less exaggerated, panicky and inflammatory way, in which case a more reasonable argument around a possible bias might have come from it. As it is, you're sensationalist attempt to cry wolf just made you look like a fool.

New Artwork from the eBook preview

**Kangodo**

Who is that first one? :O

**Desubot**

I feel it may be a transcendent c tan

**sockwithaticket**

New Terminator kit sprue pictures show that four out of five torso fronts come with a head already molded in and the legs all come with the back of the torso molded on.

That is abominable design. There is literally no reason not to follow the established pattern of loose heads and two piece torsos unless your specific aim was to cut down the options people have when posing their miniatures

For a company that keeps claiming it's about models not games it's truly pathetic. And they have the cheek to charge more for it than 4 of the other 5 terminator kits.

As ever with GW, they just cannot seem to do something good without following it up with something utterly stupid.

**Warhams-77**

Yes, this (Ctan vs Hierophant) was already teasered in the white dwarf pages

There is a lot of Sisters of Battle unit artwork in the Shield of Baal III iBook preview

There isnt much information about the detachments though. 'The Alliance of Asphodex' is the chapter when Necrons and Blood Angels fight side by side against the swarm

And...

There is a Necron Lord in the left corner of that photo which looks new

**H.B.M.C.**

Do we have pictures of this preview?

**Warhams-77**

I am working on it

**Claimh_Solais**

Most say I'm disappointed at the terminators :(

compared to the Deathwing ones
(I made my BA termis from the deathwing kit) I think its a really lazy jobb and all

torso and legs are onepic bitz ala starterbox termis kills it so much ..

Its a silly design for sure. And one of the silliest is with 4 of the termies having a moulded in head with only one left blank, why include 5 separate heads other than bragging about parts count. It isnt choice, because four of those heads appear to be identical pairs

**Warhams-77**

Ok, done and uploaded on imgur. Looks new, never saw a left hand like that

Lords Of Wargaming had rumored a new Necron Lord (not accompanied by a codex) late this year

Is it Anrakyr?

It's truly baffling. It's difficult enough to get any sense of motion or dynamism into Terminators, positioning heads and torsos appropriately is one method of attempting to do that and this sprue design completely takes it away from you.

**jspyd3rx**

Um. That's a new necron warrior, fyi.

**Warhams-77**

It is Anrakyr, I guess

I think he means the guy behind the warrior.

I feel like that grav marine is going "oh feth me"

**Warhams-77**

The Necron warrior is converted. Waaaghschale cleared that up

Image from WD

**Ghaz**

It does look like Anrakyr, but the Gauss Flayer on the Warrior looks to be either a new sculpt or a conversion.

**endlesswaltz123**

Flesh Tearer, 1st & 2nd company supplements in the next book including different warlord and relics.... Wonder if any of them are going to have ASM's as troops. Stern guard with objective secured could be amazing, probably going to be the termies who get it though.

I was told this today as well, didn't give me any details on it though.

**Warhams-77**

I haven't read the SOB codex. These are shown in Shield of Baal 3 and are probably old artwork

Fleshtearers and Sisters in SoB 3

Another artwork from SoB 3

**Desubot**

Dat Space battle. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Arnt those ships supposed to be irreplaceable?

iv always wondered how the impirum has soo many ships.

**TheDraconicLord**

Oh, this is getting more and more glorious <3 Freakin' fantastic

**sockwithaticket**

That many Flesh Tearers built from new models and on the new bigger bases = incoming supplement for my money.

**gorgon**

If the FT are getting their traits and relics in Exterminatus, then that IS their supplement. Much like how Leviathan was the Tyranids' supplement.

**Warhams-77**

Yes, it is a FT, BA and pre-codex Necron supplement at once

**rollawaythestone**

That art is stellar. I imagine this will be one beautiful campaign book.

**Warhams-77**

I found one of the Fleshtearer detachments in the eBook preview and more art. Uploading

**angelofvengeance**

Necron Lord definitely says Anrakyr to me. That left arm is his Tesseract Arrow hand
