Gw have added to the Astronomican section of their website the full rules for the Spearhead supplement, which was previously in WD.

This is good of them, and I will take all the credit for this as, of course, it comes right after I finally tracked down another copy of the relevent original WD so we'd have more than one copy of the rules. A piercing, if not damning, insight into both the perils of the modern age and my so -called-life.

this is to the (UK) section -- you'll need to be logged into et etc etc.

Nice having everything in one PDF. Must try this out again soon.

Well that figures. Right after I took the time to scan the WD article to put onto my ipad...

Oh well. Note that this doesn't have the two new spearheads recently released in WD371, so at least my scan of that will still be useful.


Anyway, good on them for releasing it. I think they should have done it earlier IMHO...like 3 months after it was released.

Edit: Actually, I take it back. It does have those two new Spearheads as well.

Red claims to have a life, I call shennanigans!

..it's almost like they know isn't it....

New formations/etc is always nice though.

I like the way they're openly combining the various supplements now.

bugger.

Yay for PDF!

What's with the sudden glut of PDF's? They've been doing new ones every few days. And does this mean we'll get our missing Apoc formations?

I know a guy named Murphy and he's on the case.

Someone start scanning old WD's! C'mon - Iron Saint, and all the other ones that aren't up.

Got the issue number?

By my count, the only Apoc datasheet not found at GW's website or published in an IA/Apoc book is the Ork 'Goff Rok'n Rolla' stompa from WD 350.

Of course, I've only been keeping track of the datasheets, not the formations...there could be more of those out there that I haven't noticed.

If you're ever looking for the most recent printing of any IA/Apoc rules the back pages of the INAT FAQ appendix document (found above in the INAT FAQ link) has a complete list of them (what book they're in and what page number to find them at)...and an updated version of the INAT appendix should be out within a few weeks.

Iron Saint's not there.
The formation with the Shadowsword and the 'ablative' Russes isn't there.

There are a number of others that are missing.

Basically all the ones I'm after are the ones that are missing

Still. I'm very grateful to not have to scan the Spearhead pages. Those can go into the recycling when I get home now

Ah yes. Okay got those now (need to put the Iron Saint into the INAT appendix list).

WD 350 also has the Stompa Mob formation, but the Kustom Stompa rules in that WD have since been published in IA8.


I don't think there are any others. If there are, let me know please.

I can't wait to give spearhead a trial run!

The last time I looked there were no Dark Eldar ones up at all.

I just want them to update the Tyranid ones to stop referencing rules and options that aren't there anymore.

Tau Railgun emplacements? please for the love of GOD find out what issue that's in

Is the Gargantuan Spearhead a new one or was it published in White Dwarf or on the website somewhere previously? I haven't seen it before.

Yeah, the 2nd to last page of the PDF has the two new spearheads that came out in last month's WD (361, I think).

335, pg 25.

Bit late here - but great find Reds8n,


Good times...

Looks cool, even if it seems most of the Tau spearheads would be 3 Devilfish or 3 Hammerheads

There is also the manta...

As a super heavy spearhead...

I don't have that much cheddar to drop on a single super heavy though. Maybe a Tigershark or barracuda, but they aren't Superheavy

Huh? Tigersharks are superheavy flyers.

Barracudas and Remoras aren't.

I am in the same boat truth be told.

But Tau have few options in the Mech department.
Could do with one or two new tanks maybe.

Sweet. I can download this and toss the WD into the recycling bin and open up a little bit of shelf space.

I actually meant Remora, but had Tigersharks on the brain for some reason.
