So Slaanesh tills the fields and Khorne cuts down the crop.

Now all we need a Tzeentch seeder/planter and a Nurgle fertilizer.

Fertilizing is probably also Slaanesh.

Awesome photoshops. Scale really makes a difference with the Khorne Konstruct.

Nurgle would also be the planter. I mean, he does garden.

So far, I have not seen anyone make the truest connection here...SKULLDOZER IS KILLDOZER'S UGLY AS SIN COUSIN FROM THE 42ND MILLENNIUM!!!!

(I'm sorry..I had to...I just...I had to.)

I really wish that someone could take Chaos and remodel them, Khorne especially. They all look like they've been designed by Spinal Tap's stage team.

Someone made the connection about a page or two in....

GW's Baneblade looks every bit as good as the Forgeworld one; I know, a friend of mine owns (and plays) both. It's also easier to assemble, easier to transport, and more durable than the soft, brittle resin. The lines are also cleaner, the seams come together straighter, and the mold lines are simpler to remove. So "...can't make things half as good looking..." is an exaggeration that holds no water in this discussion.

It still has way too many rivets, though.

That is impossible. It is not possible to have too many rivets, like it is not possible to have too many skulls. In any case, removing rivets is way easier than adding them.

That is by far the ugliest, most riduculous looking model GW will have EVER released. I too hope to the Emperor this is not real.

Not sure if this has been posted previously, but:

the Apocalypse release will be three books

Salty...

€60? Is that the price of the rulebook, ie £45? I might think twice unless it's also 400+ pages.
Collector's Edition? This is Apocalypse, your book will be manhandled frequently. Don't bother.
€200? What could possibly justify that?

For 200 euros, that rulebook better come packaged with a Forgeworld superheavy.

€250, I'd say you could be right. I think €200 might be a bit low, unless you're looking at the IG range. Although I reckon it will probably be made of flayed skin, written in blood, and bound within a wrought iron chest, for that sort of price.

...or was that Liber Chaotica?

Yeah I would guess a special heavy or something, a wraith knight with limited edition rune markings on the helm.

Must be one hell of a dust jacket.

It looks to me like the special edition (fancy dust jacket) is NOT the same as the 200 Euro Gamers Edition. I just hope that, for that much, it's more than the templates, backpack, and dice that the previous Apoc Gamers edition was.

The rumored imperial knight would be my guess

I will be super pissed if I cant get the new SM kit seperately.

May the gods look kindly upon the Templars this month.

Frankly, FW has already designed good superheavies, and GW's own design studio can't make things half as good looking as them. Frankly, it'd make good business sense to import FW models which sell particularly well into the main plastic line, like, say, a $150 - $190 plastic Thunderhawk. But GW doesn't want to do that anymore, and will stick to its own vastly inferior aesthetic, which means I'm not terribly interested in what they produce.

I disagree about GW's design studio. They have shown they can make fantastic looking models (DE); they just choose not to in many cases... However, the Khorne harvestor thingy looks like it is straight from the 80s.

The 80's RULED DUDE!!!

Maybe not ALL the styles were cool though....belts on leotards...

For €200 your dust jacket will get another dusk jacket on top of that one!

Wasn't there a gamers edition for the sixth 40k rule book? Came with a (fake?) leather bag, dice, etc.

Oh yes oh god yes, apocalypse is basically my favourite thing to play, and they go and put a massive chaos kit out for it, looks like it's time to sell off all the junk I have sitting around doing nothing to prepare for the inevitable wallet destruction this will offer for me. I've been looking forward to this being made official for a long time, was really worried it wouldn't happen.

This is also me!

Yo dawg, we heard you liked dust jacket... etc.

I have never played Apoc but I did just buy a stompa so kinda works out nicely :-)

I am actually a Chaos player and i must say (though its been said to death) our recent releases have to be the worse of a recent bunch (even our 'dex is meh). Enough so to make me go and buy up some Orksies. At least they got gaming flavour yo!

Back on topic. It would be nice if one of the races got a new release that wasn't just "BIGGA". Like for instance SM's in heavy duty suits that were made for Super Heavy hunting. Maybe with Melta weapons to bore into the Super Heavy then they destroy it from the inside the way they use Termies for Space Hulk's. Would also reflect SM's tactical precision.


Oh and for all the Khorne model bashing we have been doing lets remember that the Monolith actually looks quite nice. Really evokes the idea that its spinning up to blast something!

The Chaos codex is performing extremely well at tournaments, so I don't know what the gripe is there. Plus, all the new 6th ed codices are relatively balanced with one another, and have more in them to play around with than their 5th edition counterparts.

What is it about Khorne imagery that bothers people? The fact that they are brass and red? Oh wait... The fact they have skulls and Khorne symbols on them? Oh wait... The fact they look like a bunch of folks who like to get close and bloody? Oh wait... Granted, the Blood Throne thing was a little...weird, but the Bloodcrushers/Skullcrushers are great, as is the Herald and standard Warriors champion(s). This new Khornemower is classic 40k, which a strange number of people clamor for every day on here (then complain when they get it).

I think it's pretty good stuff. I'll reserve final judgment on the Detasseler until I see all of the bits available to it. There's no way the first photo we've gotten tells the whole story. Every new flyer/MC/walker/tank released nowadays comes with a billion options.

The book cover is made of Vibranium, I hear.

For one, if it's real, it will likely come with lots of different ways to model it.

Two, there are plenty of models which look FAAAAAAAAAR worse. Holy cow just look through the company's history...

Finally, if you do end up hating it, it doesn't matter if GW releases it. You aren't required to buy it, or even care about it.

The codex is performing well because its got a few tricks. But its hardly balanced. Winning isn't the only thing about gaming also.

Yes the Khorne thingy looks dead killy but it also looks dead silly. I wouldn't go to the extremes of some observations but looks silly in a world of already silliness. Maybe something Skeltor would build to fight He-Man.

Although there is obviously a split between those that like the old skool and those that like the "GrimDark". Personally i prefer the latter. I look at some old models and think they look terrible. I wasn't into the game back then so nostalgia doesn't work for me either.

A good model can make up for poor rules by being a nice display piece. A poor model is still going to look silly, no matter if it has BS5 and a Str D AP1 heavy 30 weapon or not.

I really want to know the scale of the Khornebine because I might end up kit bashing it with the torso from the Tomb Kings Sphinx kit.

Or the this Lord Khornealot model.

I'm thinking two choices. If the Imperial Knight model is real, then the WD cover picture leak was intentional by GW themselves. They leak the Chaos model to stir up some interest but leave the Imperial equivalent for the actual release. Alternatively if the leak wasn't intended there's no way someone who had the chance wouldn't have snapped a picture from one of the pages inside with pictures of the Imperial walker. The only reason they wouldn't do that is because no such Knight model exists.

Same with the FW Horus Heresy book, and its cover - probably made for pennies, but gives an excuse to whack an extra £20-30 to try and give the impression that it is something other than mass-produced.

Would much rather just pay £30-35, as with every other FW book, but once again they have to try and take the piss and charge double the amount.

Personally I think they would have been better advised to charge a reasonable price for the book, and then make more money on the model sales that would come from people buying the book and then wanting to buy the cool models described in it. No doubt the HH series things are selling well, but as the first genuinely 'new 40k' thing in years (and the fact that they dump on some of these new 'official' GW releases from a height of about 10 miles), I thought they had the potential to be massive. Alas, short-sighted greed got the better of them and twas not to be.

Anyway.. moan to have in a different thread perhaps!

guessing you dont buy many FW books then, as every IA apart from the small addons like aeronautica is in the £50 range. The materials used int eh HH book were also a cut above the (already excellent)_ quality of IA books

(IA4 being £32 is right, given it is the oldest one there and the thinnest)
