Taking... urine?

I guess he has to take urine samples from the WD team...

My guess is he means they are taking the urine, aka, taking the mickey.

You right. He means they are having a giraffe.

Just got my Morkanaut and I must say I love the kit. The hardest part will be to find a crazy enough pose for it
Looking forward to smash things with it.

I was trying to be polite - taking the p*** in polite form gents - was it really that hard to work out?...

You mean removing the Wriddle?


Now I'm just being silly

There's no polite way to say taking the piss, just like there's no polite way to say "I'm not talking to you."
Hmm.. sounds like our favourite company..

Anyone wondering 'Why' the rumours are not dropping? Like how did they get out so easy before and why is it so tight lipped today? I think GW were leeking their own stuff to build hype and now they want quiet for some great marketing strategy. .

Ai - and when they do talk to us, we tend to be repulsed by the numbers they talk about...

I'd love some Mek gunz but was considering looting a vaul wrath support battery + a mek gun box to create a battery of gunz. Shame because even had the guns retailed at £20 I would have had a bunch, but £28 each is a

Also dont forget that this is only a small selection of models that we've seen. We dont know what kind of 'artifacts' were gonna get, or how the older models will change. I still have hope that it'll be a good balanced release.

We so far only know so much, we know some models and stuff but we dont know stats or what sort of things are going to change, well not just yet, iam really looking foward to it all.

It feels like from all the "released" stuff its dakka not choppy which makes me a little sad.. we need a decent choppy army.

Even with 4 wounds, a 2+ invul, and huge army-wide bonuses. It makes no sense to compare to a Titan or Baneblade. and 235 is already expensive. Is he now 500 pts?

If he gets bumped to Primarch like stats it'd make sense.

man, if they make GHaz a LoW, that will be one of the coolest things gw has ever done!! that's why I'm skeptical of it happening...

Oh yes. I think the discussions over whether Ghaz is legal in pick-up games will be excellent for everyone.

That would be a very bad move for me, we do not play with LoW and D weapons. I would have to use my model only for pimped up warbosses. In anycase, I would not be against a dual stats Ghaz. A normal 200pts version and a 500pts LoW. But that would be a first comming from GW.

I don't know what everyone else who has picked up some of the Flash Gitz plastic think, I reckon they are brilliant!

I'm having a lot of fun playing around with the different option possibilities, and adding / converting an even bigger gun for the Kaptin!

LoW is one thing, but your group should reconsider on D weapons. Removing LoW choices, only the most rare weapons a D profile.

The changes to D weapons also make them FAR less dangerous than before. Allowing cover and invulnerable saves 84% of the time is a huge change.

Any pics Mr feral? Still waiting for mine to arrive :(

Not really, there is precedent with Gabriel Tycho in normal and Death Company flavours with different stats and skills. Though it might be a bit on the nose with the Privateer Press peeps to have "Ghaz" and "eGhaz"

Imagine you could create some awesome Nobz mixing the kits.

If he (or someone else) doesn't put some pictures up by the end of the day(US time), I'll do that.

The kit is great, but if you are looking to use the mobs to create 5 more flash glitz on the cheap, it is not a great proposition. Now if you want to push up to 15 models (for two units of 8 with another stealth nob or a hopeful pain boy) it works to get those spares in without spending $150. Two flash git kits and a nob kit.

Either way, those nob bits are great for adding onto AOBR or the old pewter bodies.

Sure! I'll chuck up a few quick snaps when I get home later today.

the rumour wait is not orkicially killing me.

Make it stop someone please?

Even if the leek is the new meganob box is £100 per Mnob.

I would be annoyed (immensely) but personally unhindered if they made Ghaz a LoW.

Any game I was going to use a Battlefortress (or a Stompa) AND Ghaz in wouldn't mind having both or all three. However, it's dumb and sets a terrible precedent. Sure, I think Ghaz is more badass than Marneus Calgar, Logan Grimnar, or Dante personally, but having notable, heroic, galaxy-wide famous Chapter Masters as HQs and Ghaz as a LoW is just silly and unnecessary.

As much as I love him, he's NOT as impactful as a Superheavy Vehicle or a Gargantuan Creature. Either you'd need to amp up his stats to ridiculous levels (and I don't mean that in a good way) or he would be kind of a hollow and meaningless LoW choice. Just like Logan Grimnar is badass, but doesn't consistently murder everything he runs across (despite not dying in the fluff yet), Ghaz doesn't need to be able to take on a Titan singlehandedly (or whatever LoW you choose).

In addition, making him a LoW choice doesn't prevent him from showing up in minor skirmishes (since the LoW choice is available at any points level). It only prevents you from taking, say, Ghaz and a Battlefortress in a single detachment Battle Forged army. Why would that be a problem? You can take multiple detachments, and you can take both in an Unbound army, so you are only penalizing a very particular build (which isn't even that bad).

I would be much more worried about Ghaz showing up in a 500/1000 point game than Ghaz showing up in a Stompa in a 2000+ point game.

Which is exactly why this rumour is total BS.

Here is a link to the thread I made with sprue photos. I asked Mister Feral, and he told me to go ahead and do the photos since I still had a set fully on sprue.

It could well be that IF Ghaz moves to the LoW slot then he'll be followed by the Primarchs, Chapter Masters etc as the new codex arrive

it's certainly possible that GW is going to do this in order to leverage people into using/allowing the LoW slot in standard games,

It's easy to ban it when there's nothing there you've got/use, and something a lot of groups are doing and will continue to do, but once it's full of stuff their groups own and have used in the past it's a lot harder to hold to a blanket ban

and once you're negociating some LoW are allowed you'll find some of the other bigger kits aren't actually unbalanced and let them in too, and once most of the LoWs are in somebody in the group will pick up one of the remaining banned kits to see if they can argue it in

more money for GW, and a spare HQ slot to use for the gamers too
