I'll just be interested to see the difference they have compared to the Taco Bell Badab war stuff.

Though to be fair if you boil most background down to its components it's not as interesting. : )

But hey, to each his own.

@HBMC- lol dued sid an I are havin a 'we haet mareenz' party, you intersted?

But seriously I'm just messing around. Don't get yer panties in a bunch. : P

Yeah, it was more Kroothawk's first comment that got to me. I could tell you and Sid were messing around.

After the Rainbow Warriors shoulder pads and Rhino doors me thinks...

Here is some of the Marine Chapters that are suposed to be there.

Mantis Warrior, Space Shark and Howling Griffon shoulder pads?

We can only hope...

And it was the "Lucky that there are no Eldar in IA9 so that all races get an equal share of love" comment that got me in.

I like how there are camo schemes as well as regular schmes for the chapters involved.

IA9 is going to be the second part of Kastorel-Novem(unless FW has lost their wits and will do a book in between finishing the Kastorel-Novem story arc). IA 10 though...

Maybe its not going to be called 9, it may just be IA: BW. Tho as I only have IA2, I am not that familiar with how the roll.

No every Edition of IA has a number in the title iirc.

No. It's an old picture. You can tell because of the older Raptors colour scheme, and the fact that FW has much better art these days.

This is from the old 1989 Red cover White Dwarf Compendium

So many beaks, so little time... Should be a cool book

I like the RT schemes better, especially the Slamanders, it fits them well.

But my favorite is the Lamenters, nothing says "I'm gonna rip your fething head off!" like a heart banner.

I wonder if the book will do anything to support the ship to ship fighting that was a big part of the Badab War?

I have heard a rumor supporting this and that weird lander thing they just released supports the idea.

Also, there were so man nerds whining about how boring Vraks 1-3 was. I think it was awesome. Such a great telling of how crappy war is and how there were less than a handful of people of significance that made it out alive.

I for one will blindly accept anything FW puts out in the realm of Chaos. They seem to understand it better than their parent company does currently.

While I haven't read the third one, the second Vraks book was rather 'thin' on content, serving simply as a vehicle for advertising their new Reaver Kit. The first one was great, and I'd hope the third one is just as good... but yeah, that second one suffers from 'middle of trilogy' syndrome in a lot of ways.

If you wander in to a topic called IA9: Badab War, are you really going to be surprised that it is about Space Marines?



I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again - vote with your wallets.

When Space Marines stop selling at #1, GW will stop putting out lots of Marine stuff.

I fully expect all the Xenos lovers on Dakka and around the world to buy FULL Dark Eldar armies when they get released.

That way, the only 'message' GW is interested in hearing WILL be heard - loud and clear.

As an unapologetic Space Marine fan, I will admit, I am very excited to hear about this book!

Of course, I also want the story of IA8 to be 'finished' too.

(But that's also because I'm an RG fan! OK, and my favorite Ork tribes are BA and BM too!)

And you wander into a topic about upcoming Space Marines releases at Dakka and you're surprised when you see Marine hate?

I don't think it's so much Marine hate as "Why bother with something that's been covered, in pretty decent detail--when you could be doing something exciting and new--like Ork Klans?"

As to the novel kastorum part deux, i honestly don't remember seeing a IA Number, i assumed due to the FW newsflash, that the badab war was the next book, will post pics tomorrow after the event as i have time.

Space Marines sell at #1 because GW puts out so much Marine stuff.

I fully expect all the Xenos lovers on Dakka and around the world to buy FULL Dark Eldar armies when they get released.

So not only do I get punished from the start for playing a not-Marine army, but I have to spend two-three times the amount that you do in order for GW to level the playing field?

Hey guys, I've just decided that all SPESS MAHREEN lovers have to own 3000 point armies for every chapter. Why? 'cuz, lol. If you don't you can't play 40k with Mahreens because you're not hardcore enough.

The sad thing is, some of you probably do, so...the joke fails.


So anyway, speaking of Marines, I thought they didn't wear camo because it was cowardly and they're supposed to take pride in their chapter colors?

That's old rogue trader era stuff, around 80's-90's iirc. That was when marines were hardcore military bastards who got stuff done, not the god worshipping prayer monks with guns that we know today.

The two are not incompatible, y'know?

No.
Even back when SW/BA/BT/DA did not have decent model ranges, back when their codexes referenced codex: SM for 50% of the army, back when SoB/DE/etc were not ancient and ignored, Space Marines outsold all other armies combined.

Yep it fails I have at least 3000 points with all 4 of my marine armies

Except during that timeframe, SW/BA/DA(because Black Templars didn't have their own Codex, let alone army list) did actually have some pretty nice models.

Sure, they had some pretty nice models, but nowhere near the support they have today. GW makes more space marines because even though it sucks when the non-spess armies get less support, SM are what the people want, by the sales numbers.
