I never noticed until now (since I stopped buying years ago) that the chain fist in 30k has a handle; I like the change.

Just on the Cataphractii as far as I can tell. I suppose it makes sense from a development standpoint, carry the chain swords first then integrate them into the fist later.

Anyone in need of a free shipping voucher for Forgeworld? I know it's not News but it seemed the most logical place to ask. I'm going to the Weekender in Feb and I won't end up using the voucher, don't want it to go to waste.

Why would the Assault Cannon be in the box?

For the plastic Cataphractii?

Oh who knows, maybe because they knew they were going to be put into 40k...

Blah. Putting them into 40k was the greatest Heresy GW every committed with the Horus Heresy Line.

You mean the boxes labelled "Horus Heresy"?

Also say Warhammer 40k on the front of the box so not sure that makes the point you think it makes.

Of course it does. It's a 'Horus Heresy' product, from the 'Horus Heresy' product line, which is distinct to the other product lines GW make.

I shall be needing some of those Storm Shields and Assault Cannons. Yes I shall.

I plan on placing an order this weekend - if your kind offer still stands, I would appreciate saving a few pounds!

Gold space marines today!









They're gold I guess? Yay space marines!

Only they're not, but I get it, you are salty again.

Some rules are present, but nothing related to the new models sadly, just a reprint of the White Dwarf exclusive Custodes rules: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/fw_site/fw_pdfs/Horus_Heresy//CustodesFW.pdf

A pod race for the golden child! i like them hoverer's

Already got me a Caladius and a Contemptor Galatus. Really nice kits to put together, but I'd suggest epoxy glue for the nacelles on the Caladius.

I am tempted by a squadron of Pallas, but want to get the book first.

With any luck, we'll be seeing that in the next week or two?

I would expect the book to come out at the HH weekender in February, your guess is as good as mine as to when it'll be on general sale.

Chances are not long afterwards, as this is one is quite highly anticipated by many.

I hope so if nothing other than to the scalpers who will be trying to buy this book in bulk at the weekender.

Check my sig bro Two way to beat the Scalpers. Fog up, is not to buy from them personally. Second? Join our little band, and enjoy the At-Cost joy!

How is it the Imperial Fists get their storm shields first? The Salamanders had rules for the Dragonscale pattern before the IF got rules for the Vigil pattern. As a highly biased Salamanders fan I demand a re-trial! On a brighter note, that Custodes Contemptor is fething mouth-watering...

Huh, the Pallas Bundle offers 0 savings.

That's an oddity for FW, isn't it?

What are you talking about? You have your stormshields already. Just look at your specific terminators.

Hey, cool. That's a really great idea.

That custodes dreadnought is gorgeous and not too pricey either for what it is.

Rules for using the Legio Custodes Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought in Legio Custodes armies in Horus Heresy games can be found in the forthcoming book The Horus Heresy Book Seven: Inferno.

So, I guess, HH Weekender it is. Which means, it's getting closer to Cyraxus

Mine is currently still in bitz, and I can tell you it's got more posability than your standard Contemptor, especially in the arms.

I'm wondering about rules for the Dreadnought. The description says that it's better than a normal contemptor in a number of ways, including having heavier armor. Could this be a front armor 14 Dreadnought? Or is that simply referring to a better invulnerable save?

Also, it would have at least WS6, initiative 5, and 6 attacks.

Yeah, very tempting. It might actually be a viable walker.

Are there rules for those grav-tanks anywhere?

In any case, they look really nice, although it is a bit weird that they're so sleek and plain while the Custodes themselves are so ornate. Makes me wonder whether they were originally designed to go together.

Too bad I don't play 30K and don't much care for Custodes. Hmm... Pallas might make a good counts-as Javelin attack speeder, perhaps?

Did FW ever publish any rules for taking their SM vehicles on Deathwatch? I think that Pallas would look amazing in DW colours...

Sorry Pallas is Custodes only. It's part of their "codex" after all. As for vehicles I think they did, though I'm not sure.

Thanks Forgeworld for teasing us with the bigger grav-tank in the email, *&^%**^**!
Well maybe it'll go up for pre-order next week

Granted, but I can pretty much bet you that the Vigil shields will come as a shields only pack, to enable customisation of any Terminator pattern. If I wanted the Salamanders ones, I'd have to buy a whole Firedrake set at £49, unlike the Phalanx Warder and Templar Brethren upgrade sets for IF at £22 each or the Praetorian Breacher shields for the UM at £20. See what I'm getting at. To just get the shields and hammers, I'd have to pay double the price and end up with only half the product being usable. The Firedrakes are the Legion Specific troops, but the Vigil shields are Legion specific wargear, what I was trying to get at 'Where is the Salamanders Legion specific wargear?'. Anyway, it's not that important - I'm sure FW will get around to it.
