My mistake - you weren't implying anything, I merely inferred it all...

Has there been any word of books 4-6 being put together with a slip case like 1-3 did?

I can't say I'm terribly excited about having to buy two books for BA- Formations/rules in one, units in another. : /

4 came with its own slip case while 5 did not, so unlikely. 1-3 covered Istvaan so were considered a trilogy and a good candidate for a combined slipcase, while it looks like 4, 5 and 6 aren't going to be related. We might see a slipcase for the two UM books when the second one arrives but that'll annoy me as it'll be two books with unrelated numbers in the one case, messing up my shelf!

4 was a special edition, which they didn't do for 5.

Reports from 40th bday also said no special ed of book 6 coming out so I think there won't be a slip case option unless they go back and spruce it up later on for an event or the like.

It's a bit hard to put 4-6 in the same slip case when book 5 and potentially book 7 or 8 are supposed to be connected (Calth and the Underground War). 1-3 go together nicely because they're for the most part all about Isstvan and Phall, whereas books 4 and 5 take place in completely different parts of Imperial space.

For have they said when to expect book 6 besides "soon" at the b day event.

So ummmmm, what about IA8 that's gone ?

Are they just skipping over orks and sending them way of the sqauts??

Revised IA8 would be great, I could really use updated Elysian rules one of these days!

IA 8 has the Gunwagon rules right? Hoping they don't recieve a nerfing just as I get my conversions lined up.

I suspect IA8 is waiting for a new Ork Codex to appear

Like the one from the middle of last year?

Blimey, was that last year? I've lost track of the constant codex relaunches

No, it was 2014.

I think what zedmeister meant to type was "I suspect IA8 is waiting for a new Ork Codex to appear (that doesn't suck the sweat off a dead grot's choad)"

That doesn't necessarily mean anything; see the Knight codex. One to two years is the new printed material life cycle put forth by GW in this current glorious age!

I know, right?

It is enough to make one want to set one's hair on fire!

Information from B&C:
1) Russ and Magnus are being modeled to go together i.e. "dueling".
2) Apparently there is a slot on Alan Bligh's HH map for a book where AL vs. AL

Don't kill the messenger.

1. Can buy that. Fulgrim and Ferrus were designed in the same way.

2. Possible, I suppose, but not as probable as 1.

If there's going to be an Alpha Legion versus Alpha Legion book, here's hoping then that it has better writing than the recent slew of Alpha Legion books done by BL.

I can't see there being a whole FW Book about Brother on Brother (Literally) AL/AL fighting.

At least, I hope not.

But then I do still want rules for Omegon too, so...

Alpha Legion fighting Alpha Legion? Wow. Or is that just what they want you to think? Or is the fight real, but they want you think it's fake? Or do they? Hmm...

HAHA! Alpha Legion just stole your wallet, car and girlfriend while you weren't looking!


You mean that stuff? Although I can see the case for the AL taking to the chaos that ensued after Isstvan like ducks to water, I think it's gotten tiresome.

Exactly!

It has long since drifted into 'bad joke' territory.

But a section in a later FW HH book about?

Sure!

Maybe neither side realizes that the White Scars vs World Eaters battle going on is actually 100% Alpha Legionairres!?!? *twirls mustaches*

These pictures accurately depicts my experiences with the Alpha Legion after reading the last few stories they were in:

OK, I';ll admit it - Warboss and BrookM just made me LOL at work.

Well done!

(Now get me some official rules for Omegon! And no, 2 x Alpharius doesn't count!)

The real kicker will be when they introduce the third twin...er...triplet, who keeps the other two from killing each other. Why do you think there is always three heads on the Hydra. He however does not look like the other two. THough he does have the better mustache out of the three of them.

Oh and the fight will be over who sits down first at the family christmas table. It'll be a long stare-down contest.

might as well have the picture of Sanguinuis unmasking one of them.

I'd actually be fine with 2x Alpharius rules as long as the minis were different poses (but otherwise identical). Something like the Iron Man Warmachine combo clix with both on one base. I'd rather have two primarcchs on a normal scenic base than one primarch on a ridiculously built up rubble plinth and a dispoable falling dead marine.

We're at the point now where I think that would be...


...awesome!

Maybe the Emperor himself held back a third embryo!

Anyway, enough wishlisting!

Er, who is the next Primarch due to be scultpted anyway - any real hints at the latest event?

I think we won't see rules for Omegon until BL can decide what to do with the Legion as a whole.
