It's a fortification...look at how many rules a ruddy container has.

Still will be nice for terrain (only) if the price is right.

Spoiler:

Not enough rules! Needs more! MOAR CRATES MEANS MOAR RULES!

On a serious note, I like.

Skitarii and Cult Mechanicus will get a huge benefit from these. Arkhan and Scryerskull have a huge use here!

Never thought of that... That's kinda scary.

And you guys thought I was kidding about the datasheets.

is it weird the container doesn't have AV instead of wounds oO ... or just simulating artillery profile?

And things like gun emplacements. It’s not that unusual.

Nice! I'll be picking up at least two boxes of these to use as terrain.

I love that they did mysterious contents rules too.

Man using those as objective markers would be super cool too.

would be very cool for some narrative play.

10/10 will buy. It takes all of the best aspects of the Aegis Defense Line and Promethium Relay Pipes and puts them in a cheap, 40 pt package. Plus, they look pretty sweet.

The new Gemstone paints, apparently just one thick layer over a silver basecoat. Do want.

What's there to kid? Every kid GW releases will have rules for game. That's been pretty much given for several years now.

Question isn't is there datasheet for new terrain. Question is what the rules are

I think a trip to the FLGS is in order. Are these out this weekend or next? I always have trouble with the timing on the rumor/preorder/release cycle.

Should be preorder/official announcement this weekend, release the next.

Those gemstone paints are going to be perfect for eye pieces and gems on all my Space Marines. 100% going to buy the red and green.

I’ve been doing eyes/lenses in a metallic green forever now. If this works they way it looks, I might go back over my whole army.

Is it wrong that I want to try doing an Ultramarine captain in the blue, just to see how it looks?

I’ve been using BftBG for my high-gloss red accents, not sure if this is going to be different enough to warrant picking up the red.

But the green is a must, and the blue is a close second.

Absolutely not wrong! Do it and see how it turns out.

I think it would be different, if only in consistency/coverage.

OMG those are hysterical...

This is why I gave up trying to parody GW.

I mean the best thing is they have wounds and not an AV! So crates can be poisoned!

And of course there's a special random bonus only for Imperials, of COURSE there is.

And of course it's a fuel dump, an ammo dump, cover and 6 bolter shots for 40 points, because why the !@#$ not.

And yeah put me down for 2.

40k Horizon-T drop ship here I come.

I was kind of hoping for more of an emerald green. The color looks to be more of a blue-green tone.

If that’s it over silver, you should be able to get different tones by painting over different shades of metallics. Either old paints like Glistening Green and Polished Blue (what I’ll be using) or go with a silver -> wash/glaze -> gemstone technical.

I really like that gem effect.

I can't tell for sure from the picture, but isn't that very similar to painting the tamiya inks over metallics?

so wait...Tyranids can't be battle brothers with Genestealer cults, but they can buy crates full of Uplifting Primers and Invulnerable saves? that's hilarious!

On another note, now we have the rules, you can go buy some of the lovely containers and crates from other suppliers

Urge to make a Space Above and Beyond ISSCV rising...

I'm getting them all, ya here me? All of them!! Muahaha

Ahem.

Sorry

Those gem stone paints aren't exactly the look I was hoping for. Though I will say you could speed paint some nice Alpha Legion Marines with them.

Give me those paints, damn it! I need to do a test of my own because they look so damn pretty! Always excited for more Technical paints!

Truly, GW delivers..

I can't wait for the second wave of goodies!

Armored Porta-Potties!

Roll 1d6

1-2 +1M after a great bowl movement ("Light as a feather!")
3-4 1 Str 1 because it wasn't cleaned ("What a mess, sir!") (save as normal),
5-6 -1 init. if you see a copy of the uplifting primer down in the hole. (yuck)

The random table only applies if you're using the skull crates as objectives. It replaces the mysterious objectives chart. Soo... not completely stupid and over the top?

Read it again.

"The first time a unit moves or deploys in base contact with a Munitorum Armoured Container Cache, roll a D6 to discover the content."

That's in addition to the ability to use them as Mysterious Objectives.

Ah, upon another reading it seems you are right Kan. It seems that not even shipping containers can escape Gee Dubs love of giving everything and anything a random chart.
