The local GW manager mentioned that they might get in the warhammer forge Tamurkhan book a few weeks after it's released... has anyone else heard similar? I told him I'd hold off on getting it in case they did (support the local store, etc etc) but I'm curious if it's going to turn out to be true or not.

Supposedly a lot of GW shops stock FW books now.

My FLGS carries most of the FW books, the independents get them on the bitz order. So I can expect to see Tamurkhan and IA11 there when they release if not soon afterward.

From that one picture, I'm not too keen on the techmarine either, but we will see when the proper pictures come out.

As for shops stocking the IA books, our local GW has the more recent ones.

Did they say where next years GD is going to be?

The GW online store has them all after a while http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/armySubUnitCats.jsp?catId=cat440351a&rootCatGameStyle=books and all GW stores and many Indies can get everything that is on the GW website.

BTW Avian over at Warseer found out that the Brood Horror is a minor resculpt of Trish's old Nurgle beasty, that at the time wasn't intended for release and was mistaken by many as a Skaven monster anyway



Also interesting, here a Dark Eldar concept art photographed by Gobsmakkd some time ago. Too bad, that Jes carried his Dark Eldar concepts with him during all GD and noone took a photograph of them.

Holy crap! The Tantalus is double decker?

No, this is a concept for an even bigger model. As an example by me for possible future projects.

While I wouldn't say he's horrid... I'd definitely agree he's the ugly duckling of the bunch.

Just a few pics from Games day. Forgot my camera so I had to use my Iphone to take a few.

Great pictures. Thanks!

Yeah, he said Plasma Gun in the presentation.

He might have meant Plasma Cannon or one of the other designers there countermanded his statement in an interview though, who knows.

You have to remember how much taller the contemptors are to a normal dreadnought. That makes the plasma weapon consistent in size to the normal dreadnoughts plasma cannon, without any consideration to the superior tech used to build these.

VERY good catch there!

And you're probably right too!

This is a "plasma gun" not a "plasma cannon", but I'm betting the rules for it will be closer to a 'cannon' than a 'gun'!

Have to start saving now... 2, 3 or more of these will not look out of place in my army!

They said on stage right after the Slayer award, that Games Day will be back in Chicago next year. Hopefully they space it out a lil away from Gencon and/or have more to do.

In the close ups of all the Contemptors in the case, one has what looks like a plasmagun nozzle in it's fist, so maybe that's what he was referring to, not the actual "Plasma Cannon" arm.

More Land Raider Variants(a plasma cannon variant was explicitly mentioned)
They will continue to introduce Special Character models from the Badab War.(A beautiful Techmarine with a conversion beamer was shown off)
A full picture of the huge Dark Eldar skimmer was shown

Another fething marine armor variant, antoher fething marine shoulder pad set, another fething dreadnought arm set, another fething land raider variant, more fething marine special characters....

Let's at least hope the DE stuff is worth it...

I'll be sulking in my Devilfish if you need me.

The Warhammer forge fanboy in my just got the greatest gift since a childs laughter

Heaven forbid FW try to turn a profit with low risk, quick turnaround, high reward product line. How moronic of them.

Fixed that. I have the same sentiment. For the longest time FW cared about non-marine things... now its 60% of what they do. Also, if you watch all the videos in the link someone asks about a Marine superheavy and the presenter says its something they've been thinking about. So it doesn't look like we'll see much change. Its funny, when the presenter talks about different projects in generalities... no mention of SoB, Tau, or Necron guess FW has no love of those armies either.

Out of interest, what could they do for Tau other than more crisis suits?

That Mortis Pattern Contemptor is just too much. If Chaos Space Marines could have them, I would potentially be happy, but as that's not likely, Pfeh!

Since they can have standard Contemptors, I don't think it's as unlikely as you think.

But hey. Dark Angels cannot take Riflemen Dreadnoughts, despite Mortis patterns being the creations of the fething Unforgiven.
Bitter? Me? Noooooo...

I'll take 3, please!

Exactly.

Besides, it’s not like any FW items are required to play 40K. This isn’t GW releasing yet another Marine product rather than making a Tervigon kit, this is FW releasing a bunch of new arms for its recently released Dread kit and adding another special character from their two big Marine books.

I mean, they’re releasing a Tech-Marine, some Dread arms, a new LR variant... and a new Guard Super-Heavy and several Dark Eldar vehicles. How can anyone complain about that really? I mean sure, I’d prefer resin Noise Marine and Thousand Sons conversion kits, but I’m hardly going to complain or say ‘screw you’ to FW for making cool models.

The only thing that FW should do is finish off the Ork story they started in IA8. Other than that they can do what they want and I’m happy.

Me too, in Black Legion colours!!! Death to the False Emperor!!!

Was any mention made of roughly when things might be released (even if ony Q3, Q4, etc)?

I take it you missed the part where Chaos can actually use those new Dreads/weapons, yes?

Quite easily, from the look of things...

I'm just chuffed that they're releasing more models that are STILL cheaper to buy, here in Australia, than plastic variants... Thanks FW.
