Plasma Obliterator:



Promethium Relay Pipes:

Don't be fooled, Spiky Bits has a bad habit of attaching barely-related pictures to everything they post, especially rumors. That picture is a scratch-built piece with lots of GW terrain kitbashed together.

Hope this is true, Over skullage aside GW make some fine and often reasonably priced terrain kits.

Hmmm

Promethium Pipeline Kit Plastic Kit $37

Just over a foot of pipeline, made up of:
– 2 long sections
– 2 short sections
– 2 elbows
– 5 pipeline stands/section connectors

or



Depends how much you like your Grimdark I guess

Aye, but I actually meant i terms of pricing. Not quite FoR-sized (and thank Emperor for that) but something just barely below.

I'm assuming the pipeline will have a lot of nice moulded details on it to make it a better proposition - aquilas, skulls, control panels, etc. Personally, if I felt like a pipeline would add to my terrain collection, I'd hit a local DIY store for some plumbing fittings and build something up that way.

That's the Space Wolves diorama from Warhammer World, in case you were wondering. Which of course has nothing to do with new terrain.

Sounds cool, pipes would work well for Necromunda.

Will these be the official release of fancy terrains shown in WD during the Medusa V Campaign?

The Palmerston-style (??) gun dome looks VERY familiar meow~

They are comparing the deadzone pic to the link in the first post.

Didn't we have this rumour ages ago? I seem to remember something very similar when the void shield generator came out a while back.

Edit: Ah yes, here's the (blurry) pic of it...

From the link, there's this bit:

"Targeted for a holiday release"

So, I assume this is not a valid rumour.

It's Easter.

I thought 'The Holidays' was Christmas and stuff.
It's missed Easter too, then.

Well, it is Easter Holidays, academically speaking, until next weekend I think, so it would be marginal, but one could interpret it as a holiday (or should that be hhholiday? ) if one were disposed to be generous.

I despair that people have lost all craft ability and need to buy pre-40K'd pipes.

I think that's a little unfair, I haven't exactly seen people clamouring for a GW pipe kit because they're unable to make their own. People didn't ask GW to release them, they release what they want to.

It all depends how well they're made. If they have lots of detailed control panels and iconography and small details then scratch building something similar could be quite time consuming or simply beyond the skill level of most people.

After all, there's nothing stopping you from making entire minis for yourself instead of buying 40k miniatures... except lack of ability and time

Has there been any mention of the CF character Brother Marius to go with the pipes?
I think hes supposed to be a great hero, monsterslayer as well as master of pipework.
Supplement?
Campaign special?

Hahaha, touche. I miss the days of articles telling you how to make things from a few quid's worth of stuff from a DIY store rather than the same mag running an advert for the same for £££s.

Yeah. Most piplelines I've seen in 40k are overscaled and under detailed. Just basic pipes and couplers spraypainted black with a metal/grey drybrush, mounted on a warped board.

Obligatory blurry out of focus pics time !

Nothing says grimdark like spiky pipes.

Blurry pictures are definitely a sign of organised marketing though. I mean e-v-e-r-y "leaked" photo is like this now but it really isn't that had to take a quick photo.

Well they're fairly reminiscent of artwork and stuff from games like Dawn of War and Space Marine. I approve. Wouldn't necessarily buy them, but they look appropriate.

Do they really want to be taking cover behind a pipeline full of promethium? Seems somewhat less than tactically astute.

Yay, pipes...!


The big plasma gun thing looks cool though. Wonder if it's possible to actually point it at anything shorter than itself.

Big ass plasma poo tower! blamblamblam *gets hot* apoc template, your own army dies. Sound about right?

I remember when plasma was an ancient technology, the few remaining weapons being treasured. Now every monkey and his skull plastered tower has one.

Plasma Obliterator looks good for Dark Angels theme.
