Have we heard about an AdMech versus Tau forgeworld book?

Yes, Imperial Amour: Fires of Cyraxus - go back a few pages and see all the photos and info gleamed from the event.

Any more info on these?

is that a picture of power armored dudes with massed scythes?

Color me intrigued

EDIT: never mind. I thought it would be some new unit but its just a model showcase

It appears to say Death Guard Legion Power Scythes

Those weapons will make for some awesome conversions!

Yeah, we are likely to see all the legion special weapons eventually.
Power Glaives for white scars.
Assault Cannons for termies
Terranic great swords.
power daggers most likely
and other stuff.

Yeah, from Warhammer Fest. New weapons for my DG hopefully come soon. That w/the recent shoulder pads for plastic Cataphractii will make a nice addition from the BaC box set for my legion.

The power spears and chain glaives look excellent, too.

I wonder how FW will pull off the styling of the terranic greatswords. We have some weapons in 40k proper that are just really big swords and they get the job done, but DA specific models have a lot of places they can go IMO.

From Facebook, nothing new, but still fun:

And the skull is wearing a hard hat, awesome. I so need to print a bunch of those out on small stickers to attach to fortifications.

Is the "helmet" IW's always wear, but yeah, looks funny.

If there is anything that I've learned from the Black Library novels, it's that the Iron Warriors favorite battle cry is "Safety first!". That was of course preheresy though so Perturabo may have changed things in the meantime.

Well, obviously. Did you think the hazard lines were just for decoration?

EDIT: Pictured: an Iron Warrior marking his territory with safety signs.

This also explains old school power fists with the hazard stripes.

Of course, you could have someone's eye out with one of those!

All of these beautiful previews from FW and no releases yet . What will we get today?

I'm hoping for the Crusade Imperialis (or whatever it is called) red book today, I needs my Solar Auxilia red book!

last chance to buy for a -- very -- few items

Alas, no new release today then.

Also sad to see the Elysian decal sheet go.

Argh, may need to get that Mk IV Ironclad dreadnought talon sooner rather than later...

Well that was sure fast. Took a few minutes to think about buying "Snake" Stranski since he's so cheap, already sold out. Not a terrible loss since his rules are bad and he doesn't fit my DKoK army, but it would be nice if "last chance to buy" didn't involve camping on the page at 5am every night just in case something goes OOP.

The impression to me has been they are getting rid of the less popular and post-heresy dread options. GW has the 40k dreads so covered with plastic kits, i Imagen it's starting to get hard to justify the line.

They should of given boxnaughts 30k only options, then people would be buying the FW ones agien.

Oh, definitely. Sticking two Power Claws and Graviton Guns on them is quite a cheap and nasty option. Graviton Cannons and Volkite options would have been really nice heresy era upgrades as well. The flamestorm cannon version is also pretty decent and, again, cheap. I've seen a few games where they tend to get ignored for being what they are and run up and BBQ large tactical squads!

Also, with Fire of Cyraxus coming soon, I'm tempted to actually get my long ambition of a Sons of Medusa/AdMech unholy alliance started. Decisions...

Oh, I wonder what's the reason for last chanceing Deldar Raven. New model, maybe?

Low sales would be my guess. The rules are garbage and DE have some fairly popular plastic flyer kits. Unfortunately FW doesn't seem to understand (or refuses to acknowledge) that good or bad rules have a significant impact on the popularity of a model.

Not really the same design aesthetic as the rest of the army anymore is it? That was very much based on the 3rd ed Dark Eldar stuff.

Had the DE aesthetic changed that much in the latest reboot? A lot of the CSM model line goes all the way back to 3rd and the only thing off about anything is some scaling issues IMO

Dark Eldar changed a fair bit with their reboot yeah. Every single kit was redone.

Completely unsurprised that it's being binned. It looks as dated as the original Dark Eldar models.

Indeed. The very ancient Whirlwind Hyperios kit (now last chance to buy) is a perfect example. Pay all those points for a single twin linked, interceptor, skyfire Krak missile? Pass....

Interesting, only one of the 3 Sentry Pylon versions is on Last Chance. I wonder if that's just the least bought version.
