I just bought the digital edition myself. SM and chaos are up on warhammer digital, ig and Xenos are next week

**Cephalobeard**

I'm very, very, very pleased with Lias Issodon.

I've emailed FW directly regarding the Mega Dred profile,and they are waiting for details back from the development team regarding if it has been combined with the Meka Dred, despite me telling them it was missing most of its weapon options. Altogether a disappointing response, but all we have for now.

I got the same kind of answer when I asked them about the ork losses as a whole a few days ago.
They passed the request to the developpement team but emphasize that there will not be probably
an update anytime soon.

Pretty disappointed also.

anything without a model is gone. It likely never sold well enough.
The mega dread i will put money doe. It still is in the book. As a model exists.
The actual preview stated orks have 19 dataslates and the index only listed 14.
The killlbursta and killblasta adds 1, the mega dread adds another, I have no clue what the other 3 dataslates are.
There is a model for a trukk w enclosed cab but it doesn't need rules, models for a halftrakk which could have rules but would be pretty blah if they followed the trakk vs buggy guideline of 2 less movement for 1 more wound.
But no models means no rules unless they plan to redo the mould.

Well, I will again take the "no model, no rule" thing as a joke
since the imperial book is full of rules for models that FW made oop years ago...
Do you see a lot of imperial forteresses? Atlas recovery vehicule?

These are nice models indeed, but I think you can see the point I am making here:
they did bother making rules for them, apparently not for the missing ork stuff.

Wait a minute,
for the hardback version, "13 datasheets for using your Ork miniatures",
for the digital version, "19 datasheets for using your Ork miniatures"

I think I will go for the later and cross fingers...

I want to be, but the only image I saw required me to squint and play a game of "Decoder".

Mind sharing what you learned?

BS 2+, 7" Move, 2+ Save, gets +2 from Cover, Reroll misses for Raptors around him, Gives +1 to move and advance to Raptors, and retains Master of Ambush for 3 Infantry.

**Bryan01**

Infiltrate for 3 units and himself is pretty nifty with the cost of transports, if the rule plays the same.

**Cephalobeard**

Yeah. It's an insane benefit, now knowing the cost of things like drop pods.

Tyberos definitely got better. Automatically has S5 and rerolls hits. That's some good gak.

**Grieux**

Can anyone confirm if the Mastodon can carry primaris marines? Also it's price point and options please?

**Cephalobeard**

It cannot.

Thank you but damn I was hoping otherwise. What would you recommend doing with mine from a gaming standpoint? Use it for my wolves for wulfen? It can carry wulfen right?

**buddha**

Don't need the points or anything but do we have the SM spartan leaks? Love that tank and want to see how it came out in 8th.

I front see him anywhere in the 4chan thread.

**xttz**

I heard a 2nd-hand rumour via facebook that the WHW forgeworld store has all the indexes on display, including the ones out next weekend. Can anyone verify that (and leak Tyranid stats :p)?

**str00dles1**

Is the fire raptor and points in the leaked pics?

**Crazyterran**

Want... Loyalist... FW knights points... neeeeeed it.

Most of my built Knights are FW Knights, after all! I need to know if I can run 4 Cerastus (one of each type) in 2000 :O

**Debilitate**

Quad lascannons immediately seem way better than laser destroyers

**Slayer-Fan123**

Wow the Laser Destroyer is great against singular targets but I'm more comfortable with multiple shots to help with larger numbers.

**Crimson**

I'm super annoyed that nothing can transport primaris marines.

**skarsol**

And only 20 points more (at least the Chaos versions).

**Emissary**

Any word on the dreadnought drop pod rules?

**optometris**

Can anyone confirm if the chaos Acheron is the same points as the imperial one

**Cephalobeard**

Emissary wrote:

Just a drop pod, can fit any dreadnought. Does NOT specify it can't take the Primaris one. Nothing else special about it, no more sitting inside.

If they were, GW wouldn't be able to sell the new Primais vehicle kits that are coming out next year.

120 points, grants a dread of your choice deep strike and does absolutely nothing else, no shrouded, no stormbolter, just sits there.

Agressively not worth it, if you want to deploy a dread forwards take a Stormraven.

**Alpharius**

Same here!

It can take Terminators and the cost of 2 slots, and Centurions at the cost of 3 slots, but a Primaris...can't fit?!?
