You two like fighting, don't you?

Oh, I never said that it was worth buying for its SoB content. But I'd still like to read it.

If it's “their” book, why shall even the introduction be on the domains and selected glories of space marines only ? I mean, except if Sisters are not considered an army in their own right, but some kind of oddities that can be used as allies for flavor, or something like that.

It's "their" book in that its where FW have put them, a book about Imperial Armour. That's the book they've made for the SoB as an army, at present.

I don't think of it as fighting, just a bit of light debating. "Fighting" implies aggression or anger, and that's certainly not how I feel.

Yeah, me neither. I'm just throwing my pessimism and frustration at his/her optimism, and vice versa .

I just don't see anything in the new IA2 that I don't already have rules for.. Unless, of course, they change the rules for the Mortis Contemptor yet again (It has been almost TWO months since the last change after all)

If you want to make Xeno terrain do some minor conversion. I have a lovely Fortress of Redemption that was nicely looted by Ghazgkull and the conversion was not difficult, assuming you have a reasonable number of bits of course.

Clarified that for you, bud.

Well, GW Daily considered it wasn't worth mentioning :

Not surprising, the book is called “War machines of the Adeptus Astartes” !
We do get a very quick mention in the video though.
“If you’re into Space Marines and tanks (and why wouldn’t you be?) then this is the book for you.”

Update from Warseer:

Can't say anything else ( I gave my word), but it is quite, quite a show also for Tyranid veterans with some nice suprises here and there.

Search my older posts before you question my reliability.

If true, it sounds delicious.

Over on Warpshadow, this picture was mentioned as being in the new Escalation book:


It's noteworthy that the most Central Warrior has an unorthodox head and shoulder carapace blades. Might just be conversion work with a Ravener kit and those Carnifex parts that nobody knows what to do with.

Also, those Bone Swords look unusually long and slender compared to the conversion pack we've been given.

It's a curiosity.

I may be looking far too much into this, but the chips in the carapace also look significantly different on the warrior closest to the camera. Here's a current warrior carapace for comparison:



Finally, the leftmost Warrior has Rending Claws with far too many spiky protrusions to be any preexisting claws.

I think these are indeed new warriors:
Tyranid Prime has funnels on back, bone swords and unknown small adrenalin glands.

His headcrest is a lot more ornate as well.

I admit, I'm going to be REALLY surprised if it is a brand new warrior kit. I could see a new sprue and +20$ addeded to it, but I always thought the warrior kit was fine.

EDIT:

Upon further inspection, they do look like new warriors. I've got so many though, I don't think i"ll need to get the new kit. That Tyranid prime however...

I think this discussion is worth a new thread:
