I've been playing for 23 years and didn't get it...

It's a pretty bad easter egg in any case, why does the legion defined by its psychics sire a chapter defined by raging kleptomania?

Kleptomaniac psychics

The kleptomania thing is really just an internet joke. Lore-wise, the Ravens have a bunch of artifacts from other chapters because they are compelled to collect and preserve history. They probably don't actually know which chapter most of their artifacts really belong to. They're just ensuring that the relics are safe.

I was just reading this month's white dwarf and the Army of the Month was this massive Blood Ravens army. The magazine mentioned nothing about kleptomania but did say that the owner had been a busy magpie with all his conversion work. I think a magazine just winked at me.

Video contains tzaangors, new heavy weapons and 1KSons Termies!!!

Holy gak that was awesome.

If we're getting models for those... then wow!

[EDIT]: And... removed. "This video has been removed by the user.".

For those interested in the content:

Starts with Ahriman giving a speech about how it is time to take the fight to the Wolves. Another 1KSons sorcerer calls him a traitor, and that they don't forget what he did to their legion (I love the fact that they're playing this aspect of the fluff up, that the 1KSons are divided). Magnus stops the argument, stating that they are all his sons, and that the Wolves will fall.

He talks about loyal forces, and those that were with Ahriman (basically), showing flashes of Power Armour and Terminator Armour 1KSons. He talks about how they will go to Fenris, with shots of a 1KSons with a cool assault cannon thing. 1KSons Sorcerers riding discs. There's a Tzaangore with an Auto-Pistol. Lots of shots of Magnus.

It's all black and white pictures with subtle movements and lighting effects.

Very cool.

BATTLE OF FENRIS 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO!
Here we Go Lads!

Aaaaaand the video is gone. I really wanted to see the Tzaangors and Termies. I will now go off to sob in a corner.

God damn it.. didn't get to see. Was it on the official GW channel or a leak by someone?

Darn it, should've made screenshots...
But HBMC got it down to the essentials.

By the way the Book is called Wrath of Magnus.

Also when you look closely at the depiction of the Termie armors, you can clealry see that they are Tartaros pattern armors, they had the distinctive rounded shoulders.

Did you just...explain the joke?

Not everyone knows everything about 40K. I know a few people who are interested in starting 40K and they wouldn't know what it is. I know the joke flew over my head. If anything you are insulting someone for not being nerdy/geeky enough of knowing 40K?

Time to get over yourself Davor, it's quite obvious that the people involved in that quote pyramid knew exactly what they were talking about, especially the person who explained the joke (or they wouldn't have explained it). Just because you or someone else might not be aware of the reference is neither here nor there.

My poor wulves =(

super stoked to see whats in store, 1ksons army will be made for me =D

They've just removed the post from the community site lol.. Must have been a mistake in the vid?

Will have to dust off some of my sorcerers... Will be hard since... "All is Dust."

I need to see those Tartaros 1KS Termies. I love the newer plastic ones. No doubt these will look amazing.

I think they just messed up with the youtube timer for when it should go live and forgot about it and then corrected it later.

Was there a date attached?

pre-orders 28Nov.

Curtesy of Omega-Soul on BnC.

Cool.

Are we supposed to be getting a new Lord of Change out of this release?

Jizzed in my pants.

They reposted it.

Preorders are November 26th, not the 28th.

OH MY GAWD OH MY GAWD OH MY GAWD

I cant handle..... epic....ness

Ohh yeah Really digging these black and white trailers from GW of late.

Wonder how many builds there gonna get out of the Rubric box? Rumour was for ranged and hth types, I'm hoping for a Sorcerer squad leader option in there as well.

BTW, FW seem very quite today. Don't they usually put new stuff up on a Friday?

No, next year. That was always rumored by Sad Panda. Atia mentioned it will/could be two additional, separate releases, one for Arcanites and one for Daemons of Tzeentch, next year.

*Eagerly throws GW entire wallet and all future wallets

Seriously though, these latest releases couldn't be more tailored to what I have been wanting for years and years. Bring on the burning of Fenris!!

THIS IS IT, THIS IS IT!! The plot, it advances! Magnus the Red himself is leading his legion against Fenris!!!



These new trailers are GOLD!

Fingers crossed that it doesn't have the daft "if we don't sell a specific plastic kit for it its not in the book, even if our whole range is cross compatible and all you need to do is use a torso/head/backpack/arms from another kit" restrictions/omissions that the Deathwatch codex has.

Sometimes around the holidays they slow down their release schedules.
