Oh sweet Jeebus PLEASE let that be so.

HEY- You hear that Forgeworld? PLEASE make us actually want to buy the pretty model. Bad rules would be an epic fail for all involved.

Anyone attending Adepticon able to get me one of each?

Event Only MkIII Armoured Boarding Marine and Chaos Dwarf Hellsmith miniatures.

And maybe the Shadow Spectre Exarch, if this is a limited run?

PM me what you think is fair.

Thanks.

**Warboss Narznok**

Well the question we should be asking is how powerful is the ELDAR REVENANT TITAN??? And maybe we can determine how powerful the new PHANTOM TITAN is.

**H.B.M.C.**

It has the POWER OF CAPSLOCK!

*ahem*

Revenants are exceptionally powerful. Two Strength D Lances a turn is a nightmare, and they're so fast and unusually durable than they can cut through most things in very little time. In a pair, as I've had done to me by a friend, they are nightmarish.

ME WANT A LOOTED ONE

boss watz dat?

dunno but its dead killly

*sssshhhhooomm* blood and guts everywher tank peices flying about

oi bugnutz

wat boss

git me one of dem.

**Reanimator**

It seems that although they are making the guns more powerful versions of the exisitng weapons (i.e. by putting the word phantom in front of them) it's still only got 2 major weapons, which will probably limit the damage it can do per turn unless they have ri-donk-ulous blast markers or numbers of shots. I would hope instead that they've made it considerable more durable than the standard eldar armour, maybe with something akin to void shields, albeit more eldar-y.

**Powerguy**

Well a Pulsar is already a multiple Blast D weapon, so really the only way they can make it more powerful is to increase the number of shots and the size of the blasts. You probably have to include the chest missile launchers as a main weapon as well actually, and the Starcannon or whatever it is on the chest as well looks a tad big to be a standard weapon.

Eldar don't do Void Shields, so expect it to have something crazy like a 3+ Holofield save as long as it moves.

Anyway I'm very happy with that price, as I suspected it ends up cheaper than a Reaver because it uses less material. I might even be able to buy it now

no titan but lots of other cool/new stuff

**ShatteredBlade**

I've already started saving for one. My only concern is the condition the resin model will be in. I've not been too impressed with their casting.

**D.Smith**

The casting is very clean compared to the other FW models ive had. Very little clean up to be done really, maybe some slight mould, lines but its actually in very good shape with only very minor warping that will only take 2 seconds to sort.

Should be on general sale by Games day UK Will Hyes was saying.

As for some of the rules that i can actually remember,
(hey said they are still likely to be tweaked)
Pulsar str D Heavy 3 blast
D Cannon - str D Heavy 1 large blast
4+ holo field save
D-Cannon ignores void sheilds
12" minimum range for the chest/shoulder weapons vs ground units
AV13 on the front (this is hazy memory but i remember being suprised)
Cannot remember any more specifics but these were the ones i remember and even so, are quite vague as i didnt take pictures, only dragging from memory.
