Okay, so we were supposed to see a preview copy today 3/20/09 or tomorrow 3/21/09 of the IG codex along with the rest fo the "black box" hit stores.

Also, the IG stuff is supposed to go up for preorder today. Whenever someone gets word of their store having it, or spots the preorders, please drop a store name or a link on here!

We are all - as the threads will attest to - eager to see what's true and what's not. Let's not be selfish. Good hunting!

Found pre order IMP and it's cheap!

Sadly, at least in the US, they aren't ready to ship out the Black Boxes. Possibly in a week. I believe because the codices aren't at the warehouse yet.

In any case, while there was a copy kicking around GW HQ today, I sadly made the decision to be good and not steal it. (Meaning the beady eyes of the Trade Sales staff was watching me closely, and getting tackled while making a break for the door would have hurt.)

I got a quick skim of it during about 5 hours of meetings, but my head was on a lot of other things so while I remember going "Oooh! Oooooh!" an awful lot, I didn't jot down any notes. Lots of special characters, most all tanks are 1-3 for one heavy slot, (including manticores, must order 3 tonite), and not just the basic russ.

I think that anyone playing IG will be very, very happy. And a lot of people not playing IG are going to think about painting a new army.

I was thinking more the preorders on the GW wwebsite. But this works too I suppose, lol.

I went into my local GW today (Crawley) and they had theirs since yesterday (Thursday). However, they weren't able to show me as they keeping it for a "Showing day". It will be avaliable for general viewing after that in 4 weeks time, however.

Wait, what?

It might just be my GW, I don't know. Basically yes the Games Workshops in England now have it, but mine isn't showing it.

*Pounds face against wall of nails*

Why is GW full of idiots? I certainly hope GW NA is not this dumb.

Not holding my breath though.

"I certainly hope GW NA is not this dumb."

they have that GW part in their name, so i doubt they'll be any smarter!

I missed the best part, the best part was I told them I was going to be starting a new army if what I saw in the codex was good enough and I would start it today I.E. buying stuff in the store, and I couldn't see it until the viewing day. GW turning down sales in order to keep something secret, REALLY?

I assume they told you when that hallowed date is? I assume GW Helsinki got theirs yesterday, as one of the Redshirts was expecting it to arrive then. The guys there are pretty good about most things, so I dont know if they'll stick with the deadline.

GW in dudley has had a copy in since yesterday. My bro phoned me while was at work to tell me :S

im off into GW portsmouth on sunday.
if no pics are up by then ill take my cam with me and get some pics of the new guard dex and some of the info in it

You obviously have not been reading the IG rumor threads! People are already calling it the 5th or 6th coming of the Anti-Christ!

preorders are up!

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/armySubUnitCats.jsp?catId=cat1430057&rootCatGameStyle=wh40k

$50 Valks

$25 command squads

And no multi-melta on the sentinel

Also Ratlings are a blister of 6 for $20

Huh. I wonder what was up with my local GW manager who crossed off those Valk/command prices and put up arbitrary ones then.

Well, you get caught up in the hype and OMG-NEW-MODEL rush at first, then you realize just how crappy it all is and put it all on the shelf.

Ok, so, PDF by next Wednesday? I hope they don't cut out the colour section this time. I want to do a Cover-2-Cover review, and I can't do that with the colour bits missing.

And looking at the Ratlings now that GW has a good pic up, its only the bare foot one that's utterly horrid. The rest are ok.

I almost like the cloaked one.

Regardless of anything positive or negative with the codex I am fairly excited to be able to get and field the new Valkrie, even if it is not part of a balanced breakfast, er codex.

Alright, here's what I want everyone to do:

Go here.

Click on the picture to enlarge it.

Ignore the Sentinels.

Look at the far left of the picture.

What do you see there?

I see walls with Heavy Bolter positions. I see the same walls that I've seen before on a piece of terrain that GW has shown a couple of times.

Now go to Page 81 in the 5th Ed rulebook. See that bunker up the top? Notice how the walls on that are the same as the walls in the Sentinel picture? It appears again on Page 230 and Page 243.

I am nearly certain we are looking at some of the upcoming Planet Strike terrain. Anyone who remembers the previews for Tau Empire will remember that the main picture that showed off the new Stealth Suits and the Skyray had the Tau fighting Black Templars, and they were set up on the then-as-yet unseen CoD buildings.

I think this is the same. Could be wrong, but seeing that stuff appear again, virtually the same (just in a different config) makes me think that this is some sort of Bunker/Fortification Wall kit that would be modular (so you can build a wall or bunker out of the kit).

From GW's site:
This box set contains one multi-part plastic Imperial Guard Sentinel. This 59-piece kit has fully articulated legs, allowing for endless possess; contains all of the components to make either an Armoured or Scout Sentinel, and includes two Cadian and two Catachan pilot heads. Also supplied are all of the weapon variants mountable on a Sentinel, including: a multi-laser, a heavy flamer, an autocannon, a lascannon, a plasma cannon and a Missile Launcher. Model supplied with a 60mm round base.

seems like they have actually done something decent!
might have to pick up a few for kan converts.

Hahahahaa. If that's true, then if you look at the cadian command squad box, you'll see a flying cathedral. I guess they took the deployed bases in DOW and ran with it.

I wondered what the hell that was.

Hm. Did the price for a Sentinel stay the same? Or is the new kit the same price as the old hybrid sentinels were?

Is it just me or does the Imperial Guard Primaris Psyker look like ass.



I hope its just a terrible paint job...

It's just you. He's got a goatee, even.

It doesn't look right because he's not screaming.

Yeah, it's just you. That model is awesome.

Also, the painter monkey's at GW REALLY do a damn fine job...

Yeah but he's bald.
