Castus and I went to Warhammer Fest today; enjoyed the Forge World Seminar, demo pods, chatting with some of the GW/FW teams and ogling at the Golden Demon entries
And there was this guy

Still don't know how this is true!! Can someone provide more concrete evidence or restate why we think this? And where is the evidence about IA 14 being ANOTHER Tau IA book? This all sounds awesome, so I just want to find out before I have a full nergasm over my Tau army

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Another nice book from FW it seems. Really love the muted look of some of the Vehicles in the artwork. The rotten, rusted, little cared for tanks and equipment look so much more in keeping with Chaos than the whole skulls, spikes and chains "Heavy Metal Band Prop" style!

Nope, they're still stuck at BS3, but not available to Renegades & Heretics. Weird.

Going to my corner to sulk now. :(
To be fair, there are a few ways to get around it. A Chaos Icon in the unit allows you to ignore the first failed Ld check each turn, and characters have Fanatic, which allows them to re-roll the random Ld roll. In addition, you have Enforcers, who are also random Ld, and then add 1 to the highest Ld in the squad.
Wow, they're really trying to get rid of those Vraks books!
They're great background books, but they're now officially out of date rules-wise. We just updated the FW rules index (see my sig) and now every single unit and army list in all three is available in an updated form elsewhere. Even the Vraks campaign itself is presented in a reduced form in the most recent IA: Apolcalypse book!

no, we don't need a second edition of Vraks. That trilogy is overhyped and got way too much attention model-wise.
We need an anti-Vraks, with Elysians and say White Scars vs Tzeentch and Slaaneshi forces, in a fast moving campaign of maneuver and misdirection.

Well yeah, if Forgeworld ever decides 40k is worth their time again. I was happy to see that new Tyranid model come out simply because it's not something that you can use in 30k.
That said, I think that Slaanesh in general lacks the kind of model support for that to work. It'd probably be mostly Tzeentch. Forgeworld made conversion kits for 40k World Eaters and Death Guard, but not Emperor's Children or Thousand Sons. I know that those already have official conversion packages but they're so miniscule that they really don't have the sort of power to carry such a campaign. I would like to see Noise Marines either put out as a plastic kit by Games Workshop or given a proper conversion kit by Forgeworld before anything Slaanesh related happens. Games Workshop isn't very thrilled about Slaanesh, so I'm not holding my breath.

Er, they have just released an entire Imperial Armour full of 40k units with a 40k list in it. FW has still been slowly kicking out the Imperial Armours still around the HH series, although actual model releases for them are fairly limited (Tyranid gribbly and a couple of Riptide variants for xenos). It is the Warhammer stuff that has really been affected by it.

That would be the point- Vraks books were accompanies by a bunch of nurgle and khorne stuff, and way too much Krieg. For an Anti-Vraks, they could do a bunch of Slaanesh (like Emperor's Children PA and TDA upgrade kits, and some of the Hell-Knights) and Tzeentch (Thousand Sons conversions for PA and Terminators, some cool new characters, a Silver Tower superheavy)
That's getting off topic though. I'll end,

This new book lets you make a Slaanesh, Tzeentch, or mixed army with the Renegades and Heretics from what I hear, and therefore not as much urgency for a Tzeentch and/or Slaanesh themed IA anymore. (though it still would be nice. Slaanesh and Tzeentch could use some more models)

Oooooh, I didn't know that Well if they added those awesome conversion kits as part of their Vraks release, then hell yeah they should totally do this kind of thing again for Slaanesh and Tzeentch! I look forward to seeing a Slaaneshi daemon engine. One done seriously, not a barbie riding a dildo or whatever silly gak people do for slaaneshi conversions on their own.
