Not at all. lol

Ugh, I can't stand Balls of Whank. I look forward to seeing the leaked photos in this thread!

Couldn't agree more.

Am I missing something? To me, it seems like they're just discussing what has been rumoured/expected for the Summer of Flyers.

We’ll have a “look” at them in more detail and discuss some of the special rules you might expect for such awesome hardware!

Having "look" in speech marks suggests that, actually, we won't be looking at juicy leaked pictures of the flyers, we'll just be talking about them. And "discuss some of the special rules you might expect" sounds like a wishlisting session, where the guys are going to talk about what rules they expect and want to see on the flyers.

I'd be surprised if there were leaked pictures.

I always misread it as "Breasts of War"... must be because these guys are complete boobs...

*cough*

I'll see myself out...

Maybe they'll dig out more old box art and analyse that instead, like they did with the old Land Raider art, where they swore they saw a chibihawk flying about.

I am looking forward to this, but I hope part of it is wrong at least. It would anger me quite a bit if the Marines got yet ANOTHER vehicle they don't need and the Crons get BOTH of theirs and yet the Voidraven...which by all accounts has been done since last Summer....still eludes us!

Psst.

Only two Marine books can use the Stormraven(Blood Angels and Grey Knights). By all accounts, the Stormtalon is likely to be a Dark Angels piece which is then--per usual--folded into the main Codex...probably with more special rules and better options to boot.
Bitter? Me? Nooooo.

Who says the Voidraven won't be in this release though? The Ork one is likely to be a single box, multikit deal.

You hope other people don't get cool stuff because you aren't getting your cool stuff? You sound awesome.

I guess you missed the FIRST SENTENCE where I said I was looking forward to it..... Good try though.

On Topic = discussion of rumors on flyers.

Not On Topic = insulting other users, the BoW site and or BoW 'personalities'.

Thanks!

I think a less infuriating way to think of it is that GW was going to release this flyer for Space Marines and by virtue of being the space marine codex released soonest to the desired release it will benefit from having it included in the codex... as opposed to a couple of pages of WD giving the rules, which is likely for all the flyers.

Nope, I caught it-however, there was, a caveat of "but" which qualifies it as, well, whining. New stuff is always good but people will always complain.

I cant wait for a Ork Flyer.. Its one of the few things I do not have yet converted..

How do you actually watch turn 8? Is it this same page?

Aren't "Turn 8"s their give-us-money exclusive videos?

So when is 2pm in proper (i.e. British) time?

So that's a "no" to an original comment.

I'll stop bemoaning GW's bad decisions when GW stops making them.

The Thunderhawk Gunship would be a release worthy of the 25th anniversary of Warhammer 40,000. Another Stormraven - another Space Marine flyer with zero existing demand and zero presence in the setting - is not.

No. Turn 8 is their live streamed show. You're thinking of Backstage.

I note they placed the word, look, in inverted commas

Flashman wrote:So when is 2pm in proper (i.e. British) time?

It's a British or Irish channel.

It's on at 8pm this evening squire.

If it's just another sketch again I'm going to rage my nips off.

Yeah, feel a bit 'this is what you could have won' if its a sketch of what they saw and though it was better than nothing.

Well basically if they make a news post and title it 40K new flyers uncovered at last, and talk about the release date being in less than a month, and then few hours later once they got all the traffic they wanted prove that they're liars and basically full of it I doubt anyone will ever take anything they say seriously again. If they've done it before though (I've no idea if they have) I'm not sure why this one is even noticed. People should then just ignore the site altogether.

These are the same people that spoiled the Necron images one-by-one in a controlled and deliberate manner.

They also seem to explicitly know the names of these vehicles, but that's another point in their favor.

Benefit of the doubt, maybe.
They'll be getting a lynch-mob otherwise.

They've certainly had big previews before, so there is a good chance we'll see some pics. Will be interested in seeing what the Ork stuff looks like if they do.

Autumn I fliers?

So, two hours to go until it goes down right?

Aye, just gone 6pm ish here in blighty.

They have a pretty good track record, otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered re-posting it on here. They broke tyranids before anyone else, they were the first to debunk the "leaked" 40 K rules, and despite the hate that they sometimes receive on here "no idea why", they are a proven source of news.

You know, I would really like it someone started keeping tabs on who has a good track record on rumors and how accurate they turn out to be. Like a meta score on 40K rumor mongering. People seem to forget how wrong or right people are later.

I think this kinda cool.I was looking forward to last years rumor of fliers.The only bad thing is that their will be no Thunderbolt for now.But it is nice to see the Necrons this time around getting some love.Also the TAu need some flier love too.The Marine is probably another hawk flier,This time it does sound a litttle bit Ravenwingish.Also it would be cool to for it to used for Deaathwing Terminators.Well in hope this summer turns out good for 40k players.Since i myself quit playing after 20 yrs.I may eventually dust of my 40k models and play again if this new edition is any good.I guess i am wierd i prefered the past two editions too this current one and also how i thought the codexs started good then went into the toliet.But the latest Imperial guard codex in my opinion is the best one ade for this current edition. well that is my two cents.

As a guy who is just waiting to ship 500€ GW's way on Necron models, depending on whether they are capable of releasing the Scythe kit or not, I'm really aching for this stuff to be true. It's just funny how little actual GW employees and managers (even regional bosses) know these days, so I'm also pretty interested in who is leaking BoW any or all information that they in turn pass on to the frenzied mob.
