I hope the special characters become cheaper. Right no they are too costly.

Has this been posted yet? And do we know if it is fake or not?

I think they are metal ones repackaged. Look exactly the same as the originals.

Wouldn't they be in finecast then? Good to see the possibility of SL on the shelves again. Having Cadians and Catachans was getting old.
Maybe we'll see Mordians and Valhallans as well.

There is a News Topic about the Steel Legion photo being fake. Check the photo and you will see the minis are holding their lasguns in their left arms.

They are just image flips of the current models in a fancy photoshop background.

Yeah Happygrunt that pic was confirmed fake in this thread.
It's easy to tell it's a fake though. They're all left handed.

Silly Games Workshop. There are no left handed people in the Forty-first millennium. Everyone knows they were all eradicated in the great left-right wars of M23.

100% fake. Notice the 40k logo is pointing straight at us while the script at the bottom left is at an angle. that defies physics.

AH well. Right now all I am tracking is a new artillery combi- kit and a storm trooper/vet kit. Anything else?

Whopsie, didn't see that.

And I didn't catch the left handed thing either!

Well it's not so much that the models are fake - those models do exist after all - but more that we ain't getting any boxes of 5 Steel Legion in fancy new packaging. A clever bit of fakery though.

Oh you and your nitpickery H. *chortle*

You are right though. It is a clever bit of fakery. It'd be pretty damn convincing to if they weren't all left handed. The faker has ever gone to the trouble of giving them the faded mirroring that those boxes have. I don't really know how hard that is to do, but kudos to him for effort put in.

I still don't believe they'd make a new artillery kit and not roll the Basilisk into it too.

Not sure if anyone saw this yet, but over at BOLS they are claiming rumors of a new big malcador style tank (bigger than a landraider, smaller than a baneblade), and a couple other tidbits that have been known (plastic stormtroops/vets, etc):

Also a new flier which is a dogfighter, but neither a lightning or thunderbolt - never before seen per the rumor. Interesting !

http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2013/12/40k-rumors-ig-rumormill-ramping-up.html


Not sure if its anything new, but thought i'd share as i didn't see anything about it.


I'm eagerly looking forward to this book, as i can finally do a Smidge of Guard, Smidge of Space Marines and Smidge of Inquisition and have a full power and might of the imperium themed force.

Here's a rumor for you:
Imperial Guard are getting a new Codex!


That's pretty much what I'm reading from BOLS. There's enough precedent to make really believable rumors without ever having any kind of source.

Except that it says four much more distinct pieces of information ?

New tank sized between land raider and baneblade.

New dogfighter purposed flier never before seen (not a lightning, not a thunder bolt)

Info on changes to the basilisk model.

Info on a plastic vet guard / stormtrooper kit.


... seems much more than "Herp a Derp, new codex" to me.


The plastic stormtrooper kit 'ive heard before, and i've heard rumblings of a new tank (though the sizing is new), but the basilisk and new flier are news to me. I might have missed them of course, but it seemed like there was at least a little meat on the bone more than "new book".

Even is lasgun seems to be of a spacial make

Oh there are left-handed people around. I guess the high number of those mutants in their ranks was their downfall...

Heretics!

Huh.... now that's weird. I've never noticed that they are left handed.

There are also a few autogun wielding left handed cultists in the DV box that I'm particularly fond of. Good to see some lefties creeping their way in. Even if only for realisms sake.

I found there appears to be quite a few left handed orks as well. So mutants and aliens are lefties. Go figure.

Guess I'm a mutie

This is all a bit sinister...

A bit ordo sinister...

My name is Mathieu, and I approve this message.

Yes. I want to run a full Cav army.

 Anpu42 wrote:

YEEEEEEEEEES! I want to run a full tank company dammit.

 Anpu42 wrote:

I'd love to see doctrines back.

Ogryns need a price drop and carapace armour. I can deal with everything else.

 Anpu42 wrote:

This. So very much this.

 Anpu42 wrote:

I'm not quite sure what Rough riders need to make them usable but this looks like a good start.

 Anpu42 wrote:

Probably not a bad idea dropping the troop capacity.

Heavy weapon squads need a vox so badly. So very very badly.

That Commissar looks like a lefty to me as well....

As is the commander, or most officer types for that matter when brandishing both pistol and some sort of melee weapon.

Commie and commander both look right handed to me.

yeah,

In the DV box GW took a digital short cut.

They designed 4 right hand cultists models, they then digitally horizontal fliped the the 3D image.
made a few tweaks .. Boom 8 models!..
plus 1 leader and 1 heavy to make 10.

Same trick with the pistol/CCW combat guys..
So it's not a shift in GW policy.. just a cheap trick!

Panic...

Call it a cheap trick, but doesn't the end result look pretty nice? Doesn't make a huge difference to me as long as the models come out OK, which for single-pose push-fits those cultists sure do. Samey if you want to run a big blob, I suppose...

I don't think GW has a "policy" on left handed minis.
