While protected by Runes made by the Blue Scribes, Magnus allready killed a Wolf Lord, now he is about to get a even more prestigious trophy,-the head of Logan Grimnar, the Supreme Wolf himself!.

Theyre going to kill off Logan? Hmmm

God I hope so.

Agreed, really hope Logan bites the dust.

Why the Logan hate?

That is an impressive leap of logic.
Logan can handle himself just fine.
If I were going to worry about anyone it would be Bjorn who is lone defender of the Fang right now doing battle on the psychic plane in the warp.

People have this salty little girl with a skinned knee reaction to the Space Wolves around here.
Envy is a hell of a thing.

More like the SW keep ruining are fun.

Legacy of russ- tie in novel the last few sentances of the blurb

"The twisted and duplicitous voices of the daemonic invaders cry out with jubilation across the system- that logan grimnar is dead..."

Cant post a pic on my phone.

Heard of spoilers?

I sincerely doubt they killed off Logan. Tzeentch is probably manipulating things like usual.

I find it odd that there is a penchant to kill of plastic characters while leaving old metals still alive and kicking but model-less...

what other Plastic characters have been killed off? The only character I can think of that was killed lately was Aun'va and he was resin.

Slightly puzzled yet intrigued by the warpflamers... is there going to be some spell or way of getting the into range? Seems weird that the whole squad can take them, really can't wait for the rules.

I'm quietly pleased with the pricing on the new thousand sons stuff. Compare £30 for 10 rubric marines to £20 for 5 slightly fancier than normal guardsmen in carapace armour not that long ago. All for it.

Warhammer Community website says Magnus stands eye to eye with an imperial knight

Which actually doesn't say much. A Imperial Knight is noticeably shorter than a WK and the head of an IK is fairly low. If Magnus is "eye to eye" than the 20cm height reference must be including his wings. Considering a BloodThirster is "leaping", I think my original statement stands: Magnus with his feet on the ground seems only as tall as a BT that is leaping.

White dwarf says he's(magnus) more than 9 inches tall.

Sorry about the story spoiler but on a phone i cant use the tags.

Realize that the fluff obviously can't transfer to in game stats for "some" sake of balance, but so intrigued to find out the rules for Magnus.

Lifts his pinky finger. All the Wolves die?

I'm kinda pissed that Magnus isn't a dual kit with a plastic LoC
This is seriously the best time to release that, but no GW goes an releases a brand new character model (well new outside of Epic) instead of replacing the super awful finecast LoC.

Excited about Tzaangors though

It's not much of a spoiler if it's in the blurb of a book, surely.

I for one am glad he isn't a dual kit. The price would be jacked up a lot. For those who only want an LOC or Magnus, thats important.

I also would rather see 3 variants of LOC get released just like the bloodthirster model. Then we can get a new fateweaver in its own kit, sharing everything with the loc but having another sprue in the box, a la the skarbrand release.

Could have a summoning focused one, a psychic dakka focused one, and a manipulator/generalist one. Would definitely get my money, for one of everything.

Im guessing they are saving it for AoS Tzeentch release, which I hope is still happening and isn't too far off.

If a person does not go out of their way to read said "blurb" because they want to go into the book clean, than yes it is a spoiler.
Again, that can take place anywhere in the book and only means that it is what the daemons thing at that time, but this is not a thread for the book nor for the blurb.
If I for one wanted to see it I would have gone to the Black Library site or found another way to preview.

Well damn, you must really get sick of TV commercials and movie trailers then.

I'd gladly pay £30 for 10 Rubrics. Sadly we're paying £49.50.

So, how do you decide if you want to read a book?

I think there's a cautionary phrase coming to mind regarding this...

LOL well played.
Generally I have authors that I buy everything from (sometimes to my regreat...well often to my regret) but the Warhammer books I pretty much go by faction. Space Wolves, Thousand Sons, Sisters, Grey Knights, Deathwatch...I will buy it.
To step out of that zone requries a good push.
I will say that I have leaned more toward audio books and audio dramas since Ahriman the Last Prince was really good.

Don't want spoilers, then don't go on the net. A lot of times a movie/book/game got spoiled for me. Nobody was to blame but myself. So fair to say don't want spoilers, take action into your own hands and don't go to a place where spoilers can happen. People need to take responsibility for their own actions instead of blaming others.

So what would happen if Magnus and Ahriman cast the rubicon thingy on thoe wolves who are essentially a chapter full of mutants?

Also I have a feeling that sadly santa will avoid a trip to the big pound in the sky by some deus ex.

I dont think it works that way The Rubric was basically a "volunteer" type spell. I doubt it could ever been replicated. Not to mention the inhabitants of that planet trying to stop you

Why are people so worked up by the idea that MAYBE the Wrath of Magnus rules will be different from the general Thousand Suns rules in Traitor Legions.

Wrath of Magnus is a full on Campain assault with Tzeentch Daemons and the Big Boy himself, and the TS represented in Traitor Legions will be any odd TS warband.
