So, deep striking Bangel Contemptor and a new DDP?
It's raining dreads (hallelujah!)

Seeing there's rules for both foot and jetbike version I think he might be first Primarch who will have 2 versions model wise. Maybe both come in one set(imagine price of that one)
We totally need rules for Khan riding on top of a Land Raider when we get to the Siege of Terra.

Add to that a new dreadnought Consul type...
I was really sad to find out that it's apparently a regular marine consul who enables more dread stuff, rather than a consul who is a dread. Dreams crushed. Might be wrong though!

Awwww, damn. I was hoping the same!

Jump pack dread is derp.
White scars stuff looks good, but why do they insist on making terminator characters in a different armour to the specialist unit!
Updated rules for customers is interesting, will we get rules for the newer GW plastics such as jet bikes and terminators, or just new FW units.
Hoping for Khan and unique jetbikes tomorrow. Or maybe some new deamon units.
According to my friend asking around at the event, Khan isn't even in production. Lion might be next for a model (they also talked about his weapon options).
Makes sense I guess, seeing how they probably had some of the Lion in progress back before the book got split into two parts.

I doubt khan, they arent going to drop one primarch on top of the other. Jetbikes, maybe, possibly another titan weapon or two, maybe new knights for AT

If the word 'hate' was to be engraved on each anoangstrom of every one of those scenic bases it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for those things.
They all look horrendously ugly (which is in part due to the tremendously mediocre painting ability of Forge Worlds new painter), but they're all clearly just stuck on to add to the cost of the model. The only good ones are those which comes with Horus or Angron.
I'm 99% sure that when they get to it, there will be a scenic duel base for Horus and the Emperor to recreate the classic showdown on the bridge of the Vengeful Spirit, probably with a dead Sanguinus added.
When it comes to scenic bases, at least FW has recognized they aren't loved and has made them optional for the most part.
I just wish they'd channel this effort into doing more terrain.
They're not really optional by any means. You have to buy the base with the Primarch, you can't chose not buy, say Horus, without the giant chunk of resin.
At least the character models themselves look neat. Sanguinus is however suffering form a horrendously skewed line of action.
They aren’t retroactive making that way but any new Primarchs are being sold with the base as optional. Despite the high price they are conscious that people struggle with it ... it’s why Leman Russ’ pet wolfs are sold separate from him and why Sanguinius is being sold with the base as an add-on.

I think we can skip FW resin and prices for terrain. GW is doing quite well, and needs to keep it up.
Though, bringing back the vehiclke wrecks and adding new ones would be awesome. And maybe a wrecked Warhound titan realm of battle tile.
First keep in mind the terrain that’s been released by specialist games is under the same umbrella, and it’s one studio. There isn’t any reason new terrain sets for 30k or Necromunda can’t get atleast a similar amount effort as what’s gone into the Titanicus terrain or Necromunda markers, doors, barricades. The sort of terrain pieces you’re talking about are precisely what I’m talking about.
As much as I love all the new GW terrain kits they are ultimately meant to cover a whole table and give you modular pieces to vary it up. In one of the Genestealer cult previews for their terrain piece, the drill, they called that “bespoke terrain”... when a mass produced kit is literally the opposite of bespoke... FW can atleast approach the level of crafted, especially with kits like you’re talking about. GW has given us a whole battlefields worth of terrain to fight on... FW is positioned to give us the terrain we are fighting over.
In the least they could always make add-ons to the terrain kits, to allow us to build more centerpiece terrain. That said I like my Zone mortalis board and I wish they’d do more for it.

I never thought of that.
Hope for the Lion yet.. I had just relegated myself to last in the queue ages back..
However, assuming it’s Egan doing it, would he be working on multiples at once? Or just concentrating on one model at a time..

I imagine one at a time.
Also, to make clear, the mention of the Lion possibly being first were apparently the designer's words, not mine or my friends. Which to me indicates some work on it already existing, especially as they've said book 9 is already being worked on. Other sources at the event said they made mention of the Lion having access to both the Lion Sword and the Wolf Blade chainsword as options, so something interesting is in the pipeline either way!

Oh gak I forgot that the fething slowed regional pricing would impact the books as well...
Bloody hell...

Speaking of that, wasn't there meant to be a second version of Corax, post-massacre, where he's running around all banged up using a Heavy Bolter like a pistol?

The Ebon Keshig aren’t the same Keshig that Qin Xa is the master of - from what I can tell they’re like a suicide unit looking to redeem themselves. Qin Xa’s Keshig is a slight modification of the Legion Command Squad, under his rules.

Last year, when Dorn went up for sale, they showed a sneak peek of Alpharius at the event. I was hoping for a sneak peek of the Khan this time.
3 top knots? Only not real top knots, like clip on top knots?
They're serious?
They're clearly attached to the man's armor. I'm all for laughing at bad design, but there's enough of that around without people needing to invent it.
I was hoping the same!
