From what I've heard, quite a few of the chapters will be getting new / alternate paint schemes... updated iconography etc..
One that's dear to my heart is the Howling Griffons... FW aren't big fans of the red and yellow scheme, and have instead used fluff to represent them differently in the book... with a black "stealth" scheme..
Think matte black sensor dampening scheme (though it's not called stealth, something like Shroud pattern or something like that) due to the missons they were undertaking during the conflict (taking out an important communications sub station for one...)
I say dear to my heart, as way back in the day when GW did campaign weekends up Nottingham, they ran a Badab War weekend... and myself and 9 mates brought the Howling Griffon chapter (well, representatives from the majority of the chapter companies..) with us to take part... inc one company in the rogue trader camo pattern..
The amusing thing is, the writer responsible for alot of this IA was the faction narrator for the event.. oversaw most of our actions in the campaign and basically hasn't been able to escape the Howling Griffons ever since (one of the missions we undertook revolving around the before mentioned sub station..)..
I think... again, if my sources are correct.. he may even make reference to never escaping the Howling Griffons in the opening into to the book !

Thank you for an epic post. so you think a lot of the campaign weekend stuff for the howling griffons might make it in? That would be genius. Currently I'm doing a company based on blood angels rules and would love any material about them. Cheers again.
The USS Orinoco was a Federation Danube-class runabout that was in service with Starfleet in the late 24th century, attached to Deep Space 9. It was outfitted with a sensor pod.

YES! Finally!
I cannot wait for the Pre-Heresy Terminators, in particular.

I am surprised it took them this long to figure out, actually...

My Mk. II armor shipped yesterday (as well as a set of Mk. VI). I was hesitant due to the price, but I figure it costs £30.00 for ten space marines w/ bolters from GW. The Forge World marines are a lot nicer and w/ weapons it costs £50.00. That is less than double the cost and somehow that made me feel better!

Germans.
Thanks for trolling Actually, there are limits on how you can name a child in Germany, so ASAIK a pre-name "lufgt" would be legal in USA but not in Germany.
ShumaGorath wrote:It's not an actual name. Sure sounds german though.
I think ShumaGorath is being heavily influenced by his avatar.
Nah, I thought it was german and thats about the only way to pronounce is without making physically impossible sounds. I looked it up after people took issue and it's not listed in any of the naming websites I looked at, it doesn't appear to exist. My assumption is that the writer was making up a name to sound vaguely european.

Do you remember that time that thing happened?

Not sure what will become of the star phantoms for the BOLS crew.
Personally, I'm holding out hope that the grey/blue scheme done on the Caestus Assault Ram is in fact the Star Phantoms scheme. They played such a significant part in the latter part of the Badab War, and it's final outcome, but were completely left off the WD page when it came time to show the color schemes of the Chapters involved.
As they're the Chapter I'm most interested in finding out more about, here's hoping that there is a Captain Androcles to square off against Huron.
This is the first IA book that has been a MUST HAVE for me.
kenshin620 wrote:Anyone know all the chapters in each book? or is it still rumorville?
Rumorville as it stands, all that I remember being confirmed is the Astral Claws in the first book (getting their own list), and Space Sharks in the second (to my delight). If anyone remembers others, please share.

Nice - glad to see the Lamenters getting some love in IA9.

In the video, the Character Conversion set... It looks like a combi-plasma gun just left of the three arms. Is that what I'm seeing or is that something else?
I hope so. I'm already looking forward to the IA9 release cause some of those new helmets (on the scorpion dudes) look pretty sweet. (There's really just one that I wanna get).
And I want some good combi-plasmas for my Chaos terminators (or at least one).
If you look at that third link with the upgrade weapons, you can see some Black Templar's painted up... and what looks to be some mk 6 armors painted up in the BT color scheme as well... could be raven guard though, hard to tell from the angle. Either way look ace.
Edit: Just saw the models on the FW site, the mark 6 armors are indeed the raven guard ones. So ignore my comment.

Is there something im missing about the corvus armor? All of the parts for that set of armor come in normal SM boxes (Beakie helm, studded shoulder and the chest piece)

All the parts DO come in the normal SM boxes, but a lot of folks like to make full squads of them, which isn't easy given how limited the pieces are from the plastic kit. This gives them the ability to build squads more easily.
