I waited all weekend for these pictures. I am not disappointed. I look forward to owning a little bit of everything from this release.

So what does the force organisation chart and the allies matrix look like?

Probably won't see that until we actually get the codex in hand (or in scan, for some people).

They are ultimately awesome. Can wait for these to hit the site.

In my mind this totally confirms that we will get Assassins at some point.

mmmmm loving this release, probably buy it just for the skitari models to convert up and paint

Man they seem awesome at kill team levels too.

All of my money

They'll probably just be counted under Armies of the Imperium.

You will find five different color scheme for the Skitarii at the new Codex
The Foregeworld Metalica color scheme is a bone white...

I like that.

Yeah, the white looks really cool, and I think it's been mentioned in the fluff somewhere, too!

...it looks like I am going to Salute2015 just to talk to people, take some pics and maybe buy FW t-shirt, but only if I have enough money left in my budget...

Wow, that white color scheme looks sick good.

Just a shame that they're probably just going to be another Army of the Imperium, would like to see another army outside of that box.

Yeah, good to see something other than red. I think I'll go for a dusty beige/brown desert scheme for mine.

They look much more appealing to me in that bone white, red and black scheme Lovely models

The only thing so far I probably wont get are the walkers, I just don't like them, the assault ones seem nice but $300 for a full squad is just ridiculous, I would much rather just get 2 knights for the money and the shooting version just seems incredibly week for the points.

AUGH SO COOL.

Wallet: Et tu, GW?

Ok so I was thinking, sure, these things are T3, their biggest weakness is going to be the mass of plasma and melta that we see across different armies... but then, that's what Rangers are for, aren't they? Move Through Cover, Precision Shots, 30" range rapid fire guns. You keep the Rangers putting pressure on squad special weapons to knock them out, taking out Plasma Guns and power fists from Tac squads to make sure your Infiltrators and Ruststalkers are unharassed by anything that they can't make saves against.

If you really need it, you use those Balistarius to pop vehicles and put more precision wounds on squads with those twin-linked autocannons.

Then, to add insult to injury, you screen with Vanguard, assaulting with the cheap guys first to get that -1T, letting your opponent spend their overwatch on Vanguard so your Infiltrators can get in there and start destroying things left and right.

It's actually a pretty sick army so far, if used by a good strategist. The real proof in the pudding will be whatever else comes next. They need some fat blast weapon, and hopefully the Onager delivers.

on page 7of the new WD, there are 2 small screenshots of the new Codex.
I took the second one, because it says something about formation and the special rules...
It is so small that i only can read the formation about the Ironstrider, which says, they will have flank attack and sharp minds but you will need 3 of them and there is no futher restriction

I just can't wait for this. Current shopping list:

Datacard
Codex
5xBoxes of Skitarii
6xDragoons
3xBoxes of Sicarians

And I'll probably be adding a tank walker thing or two to this.....

I've put in an order for just the codex and a box of Skitarii myself, though I will be adding a Dragoon to the order at the very least.

So, are the Skitarii boxes able to make both rangers and vanguard? And same thing with the walkers? They have 2 different kinds for each listed on GW's store, or are they just listing the same thing twice with different names or something silly like that?

So are these sicarans still human cyborgs with just more massive than even admech normal replacement or something more artificial?

i wonder what else is in that text wall below it.

I'm holding off as long as possible to take as much advantage of a 25% off sale as possible. I'll buy my codex locally but everything else will hopefully come from the sale

Frontline does 30%, don't they?

25%. 20% normally and an additional 5% for pre-order sales like this.

Aha, that's what I was thinking of.

Formations. The new world order.
