Space Wolves (more or less confirmed, but exact date is speculative)
Tyranids (new rumor)

This doesn't leave much room for Space Hulk into the mix, even though it technically isn't a 40K game.

I don't think it'd be too hard to squeeze it in between a marines and tyranid release.

Yeah I was thinking about just that point after I posted.

I heard that the terminators to be included would not be blood angels but 'a different chapter' so perhaps space wolves would do well in that regard. Boost space hulk sales concurrently due to people wanting spacewolves terminators and boost sales of space hulk for when the tyranids are redone for the people who want more genestealers since the battle for macragge box is no longer available.

Yeah, that is a pretty interesting thread on warseer.

Space Hulk terminators are said to be neutral.

I hope they do space hulk as Wolves vs Stealers. That'd be immense. Or just give optional wolf pieces for the neutral terminators!

I doubt that a board game like Space Hulk would get optional pieces. They'll be neutral, like the Black Reach stuff.

How did this thread turn into something about Thunderhawks? It is the least confirmed bit of those rumours.

I'd love to hear all the crying if Planetstrike comes around and there is no Thunderhawk. That would be soooo much fun.

"But they said the Thunderhawk was going to be released with the first wave of Planetstrike (Notice how rumours always get out of hand?)".

That thread is hysterical. It's a guy quoting a guy who's quoting a conversation with 'mystery dude'.

But we can count on 'mystery dude' cause he knows a guy who knows a guy who got him the French IG summary sheet before warseer had it.

Um, if he really knows a guy who knows a guy why didn't he get the English summary?

But as it happens 'mystery dude' is a buddy of mine ever since I saved his life back in 'Nam and he told me the inside scoop.

"Planet Strike! is totally awesome, the art is RADICAL, the new models are MIND BLOWING and by this time next fall everyone will want to play Planet Strike!"

The Thunderhawk has always been and still is a big "IF" in terms of whether or not it will be released.

Huh?

I thought the subject of the thread was 'best ways to blow up a plastic thunderhawk'.

Opps.

My bad.

Spaz mariens.

I think it'd be fitting for the terminators to be Space Wolves. Blood Angels and Dark angels were done with the previous editions. I always remember the extra missions published in Citadel Journal that was meant for Space Wolves, the cover had a picture of a "real" suit of Space Wolves terminator armor.

I believe it generally. Mostly because the "Mystery Guy" sounds like how alot of people who work for GW speak.

Its no more credible or discredible than the guy who says "I was talking to a black shirt..." And there isn't anything in there that isn't too unbelievable. GW takes the path of least resistance, a majority of the time working on and releasing the things that require the least effort.

Not for 2009 though.

BrookM wrote:Space Hulk terminators are said to be neutral.

Actually, what is 'said' about space hulk terminators is that they will be something other than Blood Angels is the entirety of what has been 'said'.

There has been no mention made if the models would be chapter specific (which I agree is HIGHLY unlikely) or if the newest mission fluff revolved around a different chapter (likely).

Dude! 4 Space Marine armies? Seriously?? Why the feth does a person have 4 Space Marine armies?

Because we like space marines I have 4 companies of marines each from a different chapter. I like different types of armies and they are all different Space Wolves, Ultramarines ,Imperial fists, Raven Guard,and two chaos marine armies to add flavor once and a while.

As long as we get a plastic thunderhawk for less than the resin version, I'm pleased

Oo! Yay!

Three points...

If H.B.M.C. cuts up his resin Thunderhawk like a jigsaw puzzle, then he can lay it out like downed aircraft terrain OR put it back together

In prep for Planetstike... if there are more than 3 Valkyries in the force (a squadron) would it be classed as a Flock or a swarm

As the previous post... Oo! Yay!... really looking forward to the POSIBILITY of a plastic Thunderhawk

Mik

PS Would you really smash up a FORGEWORLD Thunderhawk H.B.M.C.

Because he can. He also has about every other army GW has a codex for if not all of them and they are all painted.

Wow. So Planetstrike is sounding alot like "Codex: D-Day".

This makes me schvitz in ways I can't express in respectable company (or Dakka).

In fact. I'm schvitzing right now.

Think it's time I finally broke down and bought myself the ForgeWorld Trench Systems... and the Hydra platforms... and another bunker.

God damnit. I can't take a new IG Codex AND a super-awesome expansion back-to-back! I'll be living in a small hovel constructed from battleforce boxes and the little baggies FW stuff comes in...

More terrain is always good news. If they actually release a T-hawk I'd be one of the first in line. My Dark Angels could use a nice centerpiece.

H.B.M.C. wrote:Ok, I will blow up a Forge World Thunderhawk if people fund my experiments into time travel so I can go into the future and get the new terrain kits.

You go forward in time, and future me will fund you. Deal?
Oh, but of course first blow up the THawk...

What would the price be of this much hinted at and glimpsed plastic Thunderhawk?

I wish the drop pods had plastic assault cannons with them. That'd make planet strike all the more fun!! 5 assault cannons firing into the hordes. Thats the way Warhamster should be!!

Forge World has those, in resin!

Resin and plastic. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/dsdroppass.htm
A rocket version one too. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/dsdroppmiss.htm

A Flight.

*ducks angry forum-goers*

The resin ones are too expensive for what you get, thats why I want plastic ones!!

A flight of Valkyries would be lovely to see. bring it on!

Hot sizzle! This sounds super sweet!
