And this is what I adore about FW, previews! It just makes them seem more human than big brother GW.

LR spartan, looks pretty scary to me! The sm flyer looks better from other angles, may have to get one after all! The new termies look so cool when put next to the dreads, very cool indeed, need some close up pics of the cc ones though! Imperial bomber has a very unique design, personally I love it, shows a lot of creativity on the designers part.

Can't wait for all this to be released!

Loving the Khorne flake!

That's a big-ass Squig.

More news from Warseer & BoLS:

"Imperial armour 12: no longer on a prison planet. Instead it will be Minotaurs against Necrons."

"Warlord was talked about is not being worked on at this time."

"Bran Redmaw has been put on hold."

"New Imperial Navy flyer is called the Avenger"

Now that you mention it

Probably the only April 1st joke we are going to see, but not the last time the question will be asked.

**Heliodore**

Wow, I had something of a bet with my brother that they would never do a retro Spartan, but they did, and I am surprised! FW is really outdoing itself!

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

They did a Spartan.. oh snap, and here I am about to head back into Dark Angels.

Well I know what my Deathwing will be using in a few months time. Always loved that thing from way back when it first appeared in White Dwarf as a Land Raider/Rhino conversion.

**Kid_Kyoto**

No loving the A10 Avenger, I could work but it looks too high tech and not WWII enough.

**the_trooper**

The IG flier looks less high tech.

**lone dirty dog**

Not long been back from it , queues still a nightmare although I was about 50 in the line, event model skin wolf sold out after about 30 pieces

Had a quick look around and got the hell out, they were queuing all the way down the stairs almost to the front entrance

What's this, now? I haven't seen anything on either BOLS or Warseer.

Love the idea. Might look a bit too modern though.

First thing that came to my mind is that it looked like a combination of two WWII planes: Messerschmidt ME110 and Corsair F4U

**Kanluwen**

Oh my, I love the new Navy flyer.

**Capitansolstice**

Oh I love you forge world, but my wallet is about to strangle you!

**ph34r**

Avenger: Awesome.
Apothecaries: AWESOME.
Fireborn: I can't tell what I'm looking at.
Terminators: Still look silly
LR Spartan: Cool I guess. I wish they would release this hull with standard weapons, as it has an assault ramp.
Magma Dragon: I'm excited.
Storm Eagle: Is starting to look more like a thunderhawk to me. I still don't like the top wing.
Mk. IV assault squad: Rather boring imo. I guess the sanguinary guard backpack is now canon mk4.

**Capitansolstice**

Where did you see the apothecaries?

**Kanluwen**

There.

Yeah but it can probably fly more than 10 hours before they have to rebuild the engine.

**automatonsleuth**

Before I'd seen the Apothecaries I wanted them, on the grounds that I have an unhealthy obsession with Apothecaries. Now that I have seen them however...

DO WAAAAAAAANT!

**TyraelVladinhurst**

hm, finally the spartan is back, which means 10 terminator transport capacity has come back. anyone happen to see a Saber tank hunter and/or a Hunter?

**Jadenim**

Hi Guys,

Just got back myself; the Imperial Avenger is a seriously sweet looking piece of tank smashing aircraft. Darren Parrwood said he's just working on the crew and all being well it will be out in the summer.

They're also working on new realm of battle boards that will be designed around cityfights, but it's early days yet. They'd got one rough WIP prototype layed out with streets, pavements, service ducts etc. Apparently each one will be designed with a plinth to take standard imperial sector buildings.

**zedmeister**

Further updates snaffled from Warseer:

No warlock titan 'til Eldar are the focus of another IA.
More terrain: Race specific, zone mortalis extensions RoB to zone mortalis transitions, city fight and perhaps trenches.
No plans to revisit Elysians
IA12 is Minotaurs vs Necrons, sector wide conflict with possibly other races and IG involved. Large scale war rather than planetary.
Considerable expansion of the FW Necron range.
Minnotaur shoulder pads, Simon Eagan wants to do helmets, backpacks etc as well.
Some thought of chapter specific contemptors but nothing certain.
Minotaurs to appear in several, unlinked books with some overarching mystery theme.
No more enforfers/arbites.
No primarchs.
No plans for more Badab characters
Well developed ideas for 3-4 more IAs.
Dark Eldar story being revised on account of being too grimdark even for FW.
AdMech may appear in 2-3 books time.
FW really want to do Knight Titans.

**Mewiththeface**

Neeecronss...? Ugh can't wait.

**em_en_oh_pee**

Anyone know if they will be selling a Storm Eagle kit to upgrade existing Stormravens?

**SickSix**

The only important thing in this whole thread is that AdMech is coming!!!

**Kanluwen**

Ad Mech may appear in 2-3 books time...

That's something FW has been saying for awhile. IA8 was supposed to have them. Then IA11.

Oh. Now I see why I couldn't find it, the OP doesn't know how to spell anything.
Well there goes all of my interest in FW for the foreseeable future. Good thing they are making more IG airplanes, there's just not enough of them.

**Johnny-Crass**

Did anyone get a picture of the blackfire pass book?

**Platuan4th**

PLEASE tell me the Spartan can still poop Terminators while it drives

Like all Land Raider variants, it's a must buy for my Deathwing.

Also, who was it that called it that BA wouldn't get the Storm Eagle?

**Kanluwen**

Johnny-Crass wrote:Did anyone get a picture of the blackfire pass book?

Probably not, because the wording implies that the sculptor(Edgar Skomorowski) is finishing the K'daai Destroyers before work proceeds on Blackfire Pass.
