From Imperial Truth:
'Dorn is in progress. Stoic pose, guilleman like. Not in a duel with Alpharius'

Wish I could be there :( updates look amazing.

Would love that Custodian stuff to be available for 40k but I don't see that happening anytime soon

Badger them about it a bit. Make it clear there's a market.

Anyone know if there will be an Imperial Armour : Imperial Agents?

I'm worried about the Repressor for Sisters of Battle. Imperial Agents book would be 3 inquisitors and 1 repressor? Would have expected it to be included in one of the other books?

That 7th Edition news is the best thing I've seen all week.

Some great looking Sicaran models.

Anyone got seminar times? Would be nice to know what times to check back.

Yaaaas!

Stoic is fine. Dorn is the epitome of stiff upper lip.

I will still have dead Alpha Legion and Iron Warriors scattered about his base.

YES! YES!

Thank you FW for doing the right thing and not killing HH.

Excellent news. Fantastic.

Hes going to be in Guilliman armour, with the reverse omegas replaced with Fists. and the gladius a big chainsword, clearly.

Ah, sisters will be in the SM book
Datasheets for all of Forge World’s Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines, Forces of the Inquisition and Sisters of Battle models.

There's better pics of most of the FW stuff on the community site.

Aren't they releasing 8th rules for everything they make anyway?

From @40krictus on twitter. Lots of new bloodbowl stuff including plastic elf team.

Well at least people that don't like 8th edition 40k can move over to HH (as long as their army is supported, or happy to start a new army)

From what the my trade rep told me the only things for free will be the power points version. Not the matched play version with points cost

Has anyone passed by the licensed products area? What videogames there are?

Angelos mini face is ugly as hell.

I am in love with a rat: https://mobile.twitter.com/Rictus40k/status/868428117722968064/photo/1



My condolences to family and friends of Alan Bligh. A great loss indeed.

The Age of Darkness rulebook will sure go a long way towards heading off the knee-jerk rage statements about "that damn 8th edition making all my Forgeworld stuff irrelevant!"

Prepare for instead "I wish they'd just rip the band-aid off, forge world are holding Heresy 8th an unknown distance over my head like the sword of Damocles".

Funny, all I've seen are people with perfectly valid reasons for wanting it to stay 7th(chiefly so they don't have to switch gears midway through and they can have their whole Heresy collection under one system), and those people welcoming the news it's staying 7th. Perhaps rather than putting words in people's mouths and anticipating strawmen in advance, you could read what folk actually say and wait for them to say it? Novel concept I know.

As to all the news so far - a lot to be excited about, but it's really hard to muster any excitement up with the news about Alan Bligh. I never got to meet him myself, but I've never seen a bad word said against the man and he seemed to really, genuinely give a gak about the hobby and about the quality of material coming out of FW.

I know they spoke about Angelus, was there any sort of time frame mentioned for it's release?

I've put my 30k Dangle army on hold until we find out more, but I realllyyyyy want to start

Yeah, I like everything I've seen with 8th edition, but it just wouldn't make sense to switch gears right in the middle of it's release.

The biggest reason people moved to HH (aside from the fact that it's AMAZING) is that it was so well designed that 7th edition rules weren't an issue.

I like that it'll stay the way it is, with 40k moving to a new system it gives HH much more of a specialist game vibe.

No need to put them on hold. They are still a viable army right now. I've been playing the death out of them for a year now. When Angelus gets released, they are going to be a very powerful army.

Yeah, RE: sticking with 7th edition; I hoped it would happen and am stoked that it is happening but I am also hyped up for 8th edition mainline 40k because what the main studio did to the 6/7th edition core was atrocious.
The Heresy books pretty much rewrite or fail to use basically all of the problem areas of 7th, starting with formations. The only remaining standout would be the super-heavies/D weapons, which can be tweaked without breaking things entirely.

Any news about the Adeptus titanicus release? That sounds Really interesting.

I guess I'm just afraid to commit to units that might not match the synergy of the army down the line, depending on what their special units end up being.

Warhammer TV just shared this on their livestream, gives some clearer shots of things shown today including the new Blood Bowl reveals.

edit - Glart Smashrip is as awesome as I hoped he would be when I read about him in Deathzone S2.

Not much. It's set during the heresy sadly, which serves little purpose beyond discouraging them from putting out Xenos Titans.

Out soon...ish

A direct quote from their blog.

It's on the Rictus blog that it's plastic titans

Loving the look of the elves team render & Minotaur, I take there is nothing on Shadespire there today.
