That Baneblade Cross-section is enough to make me buy the entire book. I salivate at the thought of GW releasing a Star Wars-esque cross section book of details on various weapons of 40k.

I can't read it.

Zoom in?

It just gets fuzzy. Tried that.

Zoom more. Enhance. Enhance.

Blind barrage - Place two markers 24" apart and scatter each 2d6". Any line of sight the crosses the line between the markers is blocked. Remove them at the start of the next enemy turn.

Camouflage - Choose a friendly HQ, all friendly models within 24" get Shrouded for the first game turn

Flank March - One formation enters play from any table edge

Mine field - Mark a minefield 6" by 36" it must be located in open ground, in your DZ. It is dangerous terrain

Orbital Strike - Shooting Phase, Infinite Range Strength: D/7/4 AP: 1/3/- Ordnance 1, Apocalyptic Mega-Blast

Precise Coordinates - Use at start of turn. All friendly units that deep strike will not scatter this turn

Re-arm - Use at start of turn. All friendly units can replenish one-use only weapons they have used

Replacements - One friendly apoc formation that has been destroyed may be replaced at full strength through ongoing reserves. Cannot be used for any formation that has one or more models that has 15??? or more HP

Shield Generator - Place a market more than 6" from an enemy model. No friendly unit that has the majority of its models within 6" of the marker may be targeted by enemy shooting attacks. One turn.

Our baneblades are $165 and have been that way for quite a while now. It's sad that it's that high to begin with but no price rise for us

You're a malicious little one, aren't you?

duly exalted!

Yeah thats more like it

And yes no more of this zoids rubbish, it's name is khornmower (but only in track form).

I actually really like that. I wish GW had done that from the start. If that thing actually does manage to fit the Leviathan legs, someone totally needs to make a mod kit to articulate the arms.

Still looks remarkably top-heavy.

It does but a Khorne gorilla body type is still a bit more appropriate than the angry bulldozer cyborg look. It'll be nice to eventually see if the crusader legs do fit the top torso of that GW model.

Agreed, if anyone knows the actual dimensions of the K-power mower I can work up a much more correct representation of what the legs would scale like in comparison to the upper body. I thought I saw that it was 8" tall? but I cannot find that quote again...

I think the problem isn't so much that it's top heavy, but that its arms are too short. If they were longer, the whole thing would look more in proportion.

Measuring almost 6" tall, and just over 7" in length, this huge kit comes with a number of assembly options.

Maybe one of those options is a not-suck option.

YES. FINALLY. A BANEBLADE CROSS SECTION!

Now I can read Guy Haley's book and visualize it all better.

Also, wow, you're allowed to have 4 sponsons on one tank. Jeez. I guess the 200 points to make it a High Command unit is justified somewhere else in the book?

I wouldn't be surprised if that picture and the book don't match up. GW is consistently inconsistent with fluff. Especially concerning vehicles.

Probably mean the body is 4-4.5" in height.

My Daemons are loving it

Hehe my 50 chaos terminators do to ;-)

I'm pretty amazed they managed to make Minefield even more useless than it already was..

Deathmarks, deathmarks everywhere

The wind rider box isnt mispriced.
They have just priced each vyper as a single model, rather than the squad of 3 that is cheaper.

Dirty trick, and really deserves to be dropped in price, but its GW is it not?

GW has apparently solved this problem by removing the Vyper, War Walker, and Support Battery squads from their site.

But what does the market sell? GW products, I'd wager. Can't shoot the customers while they're shopping!

I don't see the resemblance:

Here are some pics of the best guess scaling using the 15mm scale Leviathan Crusader legs (soon to be released) The full size 28mm scale kit was WAAAYYYY too big to use with this kit.

Not a perfect fit but a little less suck IMO…

but really, i think hes..meh..just not my style, but a daemon engine to me would be hard to do in plastic due to (in my opinion) needing to have a more organic machine fusion. and the price..well....i cant say im shocked, but GW kinda lost me awhile back in the pricing realm.
