Kroot's post has just reminded me, during the first Q&A session Tony Cottrell did say that he would really appreciate people giving them positive feedback; if they get something wrong it's not a problem because the inbox fills up, but it's very difficult for them to know when they got something right, as no-one tells them!

So if you really like any of the rules, models or anything then please drop them an e-mail and they'll keep doing it right.

Also, with regards to the Mk VIII armour, he did say that would be kind of stepping into the future from the 40k perspective, although he and Alan then seemed to have a bit of a murmur about Minotaurs. The main upshot, as far as I understood it anyway, was that they prefer to do models that fit into a larger story, rather than just gap fillers.

Isn't stated in the badab war background section that the Minotaur’s chapter is one of the best equipped? Making heavy use of mark 8 armour.

So if they’re going to be forge worlds new poster chapter, ill guess we will see aset out with the next IA book

AWESOME STUFF HERE!

If that came out I'd be poor.

And probably divorced.

As was stated before, I'm disappointed at the sheer volume of Loyalist Marine-only stuff that was shown this year; the Stormeagle's already been shown to be loyalist-only (not VERY surprised, but disappointed that my conversion will be relegated to Apoc-only), and I fear the Deimos will be loyalist-only (will be VERY sad if that happens!). The Avenger...obviously Loyalist-only so regular 40k skimmer rules would be irrelevant to me.

Minor detail, but the Avenger is an Imperial Navy plane, not a SM one.

But loyalist as well

I cannot imagine them actually selling that or the Khorne Flake.

That was actually a model for Bran (flake) Redmaw .

Yeesh. Some people can't take a joke. Once upon a time GW sold Christmas Marines. How is this any different?

To be fair, not all countries sell Bran Flakes, so this pun may be UK only. Never seen or heard of Bran Flakes in Germany, although theoretically they seem to exist here. So internationally, Khorne Flakes is the better pun.

ah yes, the infamous " Schrödinger's cereal ".

The K'Daii Fireborn models are a real disappointment. Combined with subpar rules and overcosting, I can't see them ever being used, too bad they didn't translate well at all from concept art (which was awesome) to model (which is not awesome).

Here's to hoping that Magma Dragons and the K'Daii Destroyer end up much better!

All they need to do now is miniaturize that Gargantuan Squig and we'll finally have some decent Mangler Squig models (like Warhammer: Age of Reckoning) instead of those abysmal $90 a base models which stick out like a sore thumb.

Looking forward to Blackfire Pass, though I am surprised at the O&G focus given they now have a whopping 2 models in the range (after they release the squig that is).

The K'daii rules aren't bad just niche, but those models are real disappointment; they don't really look like their fluff description or their concept art. Ogre sized samurai on fire are what these are supposed to be like... they're a column of fire with a meh-armor.

They've also changed the concept art for the Destroyer... we've gone from a molten rock and metal bull to to something that looks like a croutching minotaur with armored mask and armor-peg-leg-spike arms.

The Bull Centaur's concept art is a different as well... for one of the most armored unit suddenly they're less armored... oh and on fire... someone should remind FW Bull centaur don't have the immunity to fire the Fireborn have.

I still can't figure out what the Fireborn look like/are supposed to look like...

I think the Fireborn really need to be shown as painted models, as they have a bit too much detail going on it seems.

In other news, an exceeding number of Dakkanauts have lost their sense of humor.

This might just be me, but I really just feel like I am staring at a lot of weird grey. I really need to see one of those painted to understand how they are supposed to look.

Yeah. You are not among them so it seems.

This, I shall do.

It looks like they're supposed to be Djiin or Efreet, which is gonna have an issue when it's unpainted.

Yeah, I just can't tell I'd it is organic looking, flames, trees, or what. I can get a sense of how it supposed to be painted, but my imagination isn't cooperating.

So, what you're saying is I should be looking to oop Clan Wars Shadowlands models for stand ins?

The K'dai look good in person, those photos don't do them justice. I normally despise sculpted flame, but they are challenging that attitude for me. What I can't wait for is the Magma dragon, after seeing the concept I reakon it will be the first FW Dragon that I buy.

It's made of flames, and I think will look rather awesome when painted:

Necrons? Yes. I really want the Crypt Stalker (from http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=409729) to be the new Titan-sized model. If not in stats and abilities, than in looks. Because it is awesome.

To me their flames don't look right. They're supposed to be fire daemons trapped in armor... It looks more like a lot of little fires burning across a surface when you'd imagine a creature of fire would present more of a centralized source for the fire... and you'd imagine more flames coming up along the edge of the armor than abruptly stopping.

Must resists urge to buy Storm Eagle..

The Storm Eagle is particularly irritiating, it's a Storm Raven in all but name from the looks of it and just screams "bandwagon hop", it makes the thunderhawk pointless and the game never needed SM's with lots fast skimmer assault gunships in the first place, especially not widespread availabilty of them.

/rantover.


I'd love to see some of that Tzeentch and DE stuff though, but above all the AdMech stuff is incredibly tantalizing, really looking forward to seeing some of that stuff. Imagining a Skitaari list and Knights would be an amazing addition to the 40k universe.

But..but it looks cool.
