That looks like another Frag Assault Launcher in the picture. I REALLY hope heavy bolters and suspensors are still a thing

Looks like some kind of Necron sword on the codex image.

For the love of the Emperor, I can only hope we get Xenos tech for them.

So new DW kit, VV + upgrade kit, and either new Dread or old dread with bits from upgrade kit. Cool.

I may try to get this without Household 6 finding out.

It's a Venerable Dreadnought with upgrade kit bits.

Hyper-phase sword? Great, so now the Imperials are stealing all the good xenos stuff as well.

Really want to see the contents of the upgrade frame. I'm guessing that's where the Dread and Vanguard get there DW bits. Some Terminator(shoulder pads and any new weapons) and vehicle parts would be very welcome.

"Now"?

The Callidus Assassin's weapons are xenos artifacts.

I'll just leave this here

Same here. I want to know how many I will need to buy. I really hope it is like the Dark Angels upgrade kit that comes with the veteran upgrades as well as Terminator and Dreadnought upgrades.

THOSE SHIELDS, OH BABY, THOSE SHIELDS

Edit: Is that a POWER MACE?

Shotguns are cool, though I doubt this one will be worth taking.

Power Mauls, Shotguns, and tower shields!

Is that a heavy Bolter with an underslung flamer?!

Yep. If a normal isn't enough, you need a heavy combi weapon^^

That is indeed an overcompensating combi-weapon if I ever saw one.

Those shields are awesome. Shotguns are interesting. What are the potential stats for the shotgun?

I don't care for rules, and usually don't know about them, sorry ^^

Prolly an Astartes shotgun, so S4 AP- assault 2

Oh nelly a Flesh Tearers pad, what are the other two?

IS there a blood raven or Imperial Fists pad?

Holy crap do you see that storm shield?

I'm so glad we're getting all these Chapter shoulders. I literally cannot wait to make a full army with these diverse shoulders.


Edit: Added more pads

The second pad can be used for both Raptors and Mentors.

Oh jesus, a Minotaurs, Black Templar AND Howling Griffon pad, my team is assembled, literally couldn't ask for any other chapters.

 General Kroll wrote:

If red, raptors if black, probably others.

The rest look good as well.

Artemis looks pretty good, hope the cape is optional.
Sprues look ace, thanks Atia!

The DW veterans look like they have pistols? Or are they one-handing their boltguns?

You could also do Mentors with the Raptors icon and Sons of Medusa with the Novamarines one. Lots of cool stuff!

There is another picture with the Brazen Claws, Minotaur, Silver Skulls, Black Templars, and Howling Griffons!

Sculpted pads!! I was hoping for these as soon as these rumours popped up. Very exciting. There's even a howling griffons pad. Nice!

I see a sons of medusa conversion opportunity! Nice...

Brazen Claws, Minotaur, Silver Skulls, Black Templars, and Howling Griffons!

I can't wait to make a bunch of these. And because several of the icons are used by multiple Chapters, the possibilities are endless!

The first image had Dark Angels and Salamanders on it.

I noticed that too. I wonder if they're smart enough to place an advert for the fw chapter specific products inside the box.

They're not really Forgeworld Chapters. They've been around an awful log time.

Have to say these do look pretty damn awesome. If I had any interest whatsoever for deathwatch would be grabbing some for sure but not that much interest lore wise + too much work to do the rules for them so pass for me at least for now.

Now I just need to find someone to swap the mass amounts of dead Harlequin basing material with. I have been waiting years for deathwatch to be a thing, and not just special looking bolt guns and heads.

True, but FW expanded the lore on a bunch in their various campaign books.

Sure, but they've only been given rules and campaign appearances by FW. Appearing in the background of the fluff is pretty minimal compared to getting special characters, chapter tactics, and an entire IA dedicated to you.

Although, I'm somewhat surprised not to see a Blood Ravens pad on there given that they got a character in the previous set and have appeared in many of the video games. I would bet there's one hiding in there somewhere.

I can see lots of trading going on.

I need everyone's Silver Skulls pads!

I am just so happy the Templar cross is in there. GW still loves us!

My thoughts exactly. Now who wants to rid themselves of the flesh tearers pads?

Cheaper to get the Forgeworld brass etch. Bit annoying to have BT, 'Tearers, Dark Angels pads in there when they could have added pads for other less well supported chapters. You can pick the previous BT/DA/FT pads up for buttons on ebay.

I can foresee a hell of a lot of cheap Harlequins on ebay.

Yep. I'm doing mine for only $40-$50. For all of them in a box.

Not if you're just swapping them with one another.

Now the important question: is this limited edition?

Put me down for two or three of the DW Veterans kits and a couple of the upgrade sprues! This is shaping up to be one of the biggest buys for me in a long while. I will be giving every single one of them a different shoulder pauldron.

Even the ones that are the same icon will be used to make different chapters. One Novamarines, one Sons of Medusa. One Mentors, one Raptors. The possibilities are endless.

Doh! Completely mixed up Minotaurs with White Minotaurs, curses! A Storm Warden one would make it all better.

Unless you're swapping in store or a club the postage on a few pads at a time would be a killer to get enough to do an army with.

MacMuckles wrote:

No concrete knowledge but I'd guess we're looking at something like Stormclaw and Baal where there'll be a one time print run which will go relatively quickly.

That's what I plan to do, trade with the other buyers in store. It's why I hope it's not limited edition.

Can we finally get some info on this damn chaos supplement that is supposed to be coming as a chaos player it almost feels like you rumor mongers would sooner find out about imperium releases than a damn chaos one

Nice should be able to get at least a couple of chapters each from most of those pads.

No Blood Ravens pauldron. :(

And that's precisely the attitude to take to promote their sharing of the info...?

Isn't the current rumor that it will be in the upcoming White Dwarf.

Yet. But it fine be me, I have an extra from converting the BR Librarian to a Crimson Fists Librarian. So I will have two DW BR Marines!

Fingers crossed that either the infantry kit has more DW shoulder pads than is needed or the upgrade frame has more on it. I've got several SM infantry kits that I stripped of mk4 and 6 parts for 30k that could boost a DW force.

I too am hyped for all of these new bits. Before I was just thinking discount circus but now I am interested in spreading some of these sweet new bits around my Pre Hersey Death Guard and Flesh Tearer forces

Yeah, same. I'm also hoping that the Deathwatch squad has a different set of shoulder pads to the Deathwatch upgrade sprue.

Likewise. I want to make a DW Grav Devastator squad among other things. I have several other kits I want to make into DW. Plus, a full Tactical Squad being turned into DW Veterans would be great.
