Dang, going to have to pause on that trench system for now, but I can seem my will breaking eventually. One of those always wanted a Trench themed board type affairs.

Also pleased to see they did Valkia, hopefully that will bode well for Malys when the next do some Dark Eldar figs. Also glad I'm not playing Fantasy at the moment, an army around her, even a small one would have been hard to resist.

Oh and although I wouldn't say I am a huge fan of Scyla, at least this time he appears to look more how he was described in the book.

New models and no army book. WTH. This has got to be one of the biggest jokes GW has come up with since finecast. WoC is one of the books that needs to be re-done and, well, anyhow. The models look great tho. Love their take on the war shrine, very nice and Festus, very cool. Guess there will be one of those add it booklets in the WD for the new units. Happy gaming anyway.

Not really, there's about five books that are in more of a desperate need for an update.

because you have to have this price is not an option

Just what we need... MORE fething IOM scenery. Would it have killed them to do just ONE xeno scenery piece (not counting the dinky little nid thing from the Battle for Macragge set and the resin Ork Barricades ? )

I want Eldar/Dark Eldar, Tau and Ork scenery, dammit!


*** rant disengaged***

Actually it's quite a nice kit, but come ON GW. There are folks who don't play IOM that would like some nice buildings

I hear ya and agree whole heartedly. Wood elves especially. But from my gaming group, WoC needs it as far as that. Our group only has Skaven, Vampires, DE, HE finally a beastmen player, daemons, night goblins and WoC. Our other orc players quit playing their orcs when their book came out, not me, night gobbos kick butt. So that is where my basis comes from. Brets need alot of love too.

I gotto say, the detail on the dead Cadians is quite... lacking.

Is the Wall of Martyrs on the box or the site that broke it?

*looks at the Imperial Defence Network*

Where could I put it?

I like it a lot, but if there arent any rules for it thats a deal breaker.

It's not like there will never be rules for it.

Considering that the walls are literally held up by dead Cadians, I would not be surprised if it is on the actual box...

What do you mean? like next IG codex?

I want that thing to go to pre-order. I must own two.



Sorry, I am a total terrain junkie, and it takes a really special kind of terrible to make me not like GW terrain

I love the Skullvane Manse.

It's a giant skullhouse, HBMC. How can you not want to live in Grimdark Housing?

Because he likes houses to not be packed with skulls and look like they could topple over at any second?

Oh.

So he likes non-exciting houses.

Where's the fun in housing if it can't topple over in a horrific tragedy while being coated in nonfunctional decor?

I look at all those dead Cadians holding up the trenches and I gotta wonder if someone made a mistake on what Guardsmen and Mortar was meant to mean.

Wait, so Guardsmen are not building materials?

Well..my face is red.

The grand opening of GW Middle-Earth....

GW likes skulls. Lots of skulls. Everywhere.

Skulls are nature's sign of cool, y'know.

Next to the house that does that and laughing, lots and lots of laughing.

That big dumb brawler spawn has some potential... and if those juggernauts come on a plastic sprue in a box, GW just won back some $$$ that was going to head to FW next month.

i'm definitely looking forward to the Juggers...
hopefully the Thunderwolf Cav. legs fit well...
i would love to make a Dornian Heresy Space Wolf ThunderJugger, and a 40K Khorne Lord...

cheers
jah

I guess we can take this huge trench line as an official admission that 6th is GunlineHammer.

I cant make out the text in the images - what're these edge paints meant to be?

I don't at ALL disagree with you. However, at least in this case, it is much easier for me to imagine whatever army I'm playing took that defensive line from a battalion of sad, sad, guardsmen than most of the other terrain. Unlike the skyshield platform, or the Bastion or the Fortress of Redemption, which seem too static and requiring more forethought and permanance apart from the current battle than mere trenches.

I want to know what level of customization I have for the modelling of it, how many sections it comes in, etc. If this can be cross applied to many games, it will be a very large deciding factor in my purchasing it. Warmachine in particular enjoys some trenches on the field.

As far as that red chaos beastie goes, does anyone else recognize the pose? The latest Incredible Hulk movie: the Hulk and the Abomination were charging each other and leapt into the air, each with that same pose. It's like an exact screen shot from the movie, only with the tint adjusted and moar skullz.

So, where can I order or pre-order this? (the trench set)

The defense line looks cool, but I hope they don't add rules and points for it. I'd hate for it to be something anyone could take just with some points and their fortification slot. That thing is massive, it is going to completely dominate the table it's put on. I think the fortress of redemption is already pushing the bounds of what should be on a normal 40k scale game before going into a apoc/planetstrike type scenario.

What's the problem with trying to cram 2 of these on one table...?
