GW doesn't believe in the internet, they see it as a "passing phase that will eventually disappear"

BoLS is not a trusted rumour poster. It might be right, it could be wrong, we will see.

At what point did Ghost21 become a trusted poster? He's still very very new AFAIK. I'm not tracking the rumourmongers like I used to, but from what I've seen so far he's another Stickmonkey. High volume of chatter, but as of yet very little confirmed.

BoLS does a very similar job to yourself. They gather up the chatter from their own forums (usually cut&pasted from other places) and summarize it on their site for the convenience of others. They're very rarely the OP.

Accusing Kroothawk of being an attention seeker is fairly off-base. It's a service to the rest of us TBH, and I think most of us would prefer that he keeps in doing it.

A couple of peopel have said that flyers without transport capacity woudl not be good.

What about CSM? The only flyers i am aware of for them are the Hellblade and Helltalon, neither of which trasnport. Coudl this be the opening for the fabled Dreadclaw plastic kit?!?!?!?!

The Dreadclaw is a drop pod variant though.

I thought was a weird sort of 'pod/flyer hybrid. It could land adn then take off and fly around again couldn't it? I am going off the Forgeworl Renegade rules so they might be out of date.

From what I recall it was a drop pod that doubled as a boarding pod, but I could be wrong, as I'm relying on really, really old fluff here.

But I doubt they'd use that model, aside from a feth-ton of skulls everywhere it lacks guns.

They are flyers though. They can take off again. It's very weird.

What's left? New patterns of the Rhino chassi and LR chassi? A new chimera chassi unit for IG? or another Leman Russ based one?

What's left after fliers? Seabased warfare? Battleships in 40k? 28mm scale BFG? With 300£ models?

Well, by the time every army has a flying transport, it can be assumed that GW will move on to more flying vehicles: fighters, bombers, more transports. By the time they're done with that, it can also be assumed tue infantry will need redoing, then the walkers and then the tanks.

It all works out for GW, slowly introduce more game elements to keep your audience entertained while also redoing old models. Looks like they've got thier plates full for now.

That's a more than a little rude Brass. Some of us really appreciate his efforts, and frankly he has never come off as attention seeking to me at least. In any case, just because he disagreed with you doesn't mean you had to go there.

What happened there?

Straight from "minor disagreement" to "personal attack"...I think that shot at Kroot was a bit uncalled for.

agreed!

Leggy wrote:At what point did Ghost21 become a trusted poster? He's still very very new AFAIK.

He's not, he just so happens to be one of the few people posting new rumours regularly and the more trusted rumour mongers like Harry for instance has indicated that what he is posting could be true.
As for now he has 0 credibility as nothing he has posted yet has come true (since it hasn't been released yet) but once we see the codex and if it proves that allot of his rumours are accurate then I will place allot more faith in him.

As for the fliers I read a rumour some months ago that only 3 fliers would be introduced first wave, I think it was IG, SM and Ork. The rest would be introduced together with codex updates. Then again this is a very old rumour that started when it was said a few of the fliers were put on hold because there were problems with the models.

Exactly, it's our job to go out and find rumours and then bring them back to our lair. If we dont go out and look for rumours or talk to people who post rumours then there wouldn't be much to report on. We would basically have to wait weeks for something new to pop up and allot of the stuff out there would simply be missed. I spend allot of time searching many forums, blogs etc for rumours each day. Kroothawk and me provide a service, free of charge too , and allot of people like what we do. If we did not do it you would have to visit the many forums and blogs out there and then try to puzzle it all together yourself. I started my compilation threads over at Heresy simply because I was tired of not having everything in one place, I'm sure Kroothawk has similar reasons.

BrookM wrote:The Dreadclaw is a drop pod variant though.

the drop pod is a simplified Dreadclaw actually when they began malfunctioning during the heresy many loyalist captains ditched them in the warp

Wow, this thread has really taken a turn.

That's a very simplistic explanation of the Dreadclaw v. Drop Pod issue.

The Dreadclaw was meant to be a multi-role assault boat which is evidenced in the fact that its disembarking point is ringed with 'meltaguns' to burn through an opposing ship's hull and establish a tight seal for Astartes to come through.
At the same time, it can be used as a drop pod that can self-recover since it can take back off after impact.

The reason they were 'ditched' by all acounts, however, isn't that "they malfunctioned". The Loyalists felt that the machine-spirit within was corrupted and was what was causing the malfunctions.

Btw, Yak's new Necron rumours suggest 2(?) flyers for the 'crons, so there may be further support for the whole Wartorn skies shibbang...

Just to keep this thread updated:

Here the pic of the new Dark Eldar Razorwing to be released in June:



Either it IS already a double kit or you can easily transform this to an Eldar flyer by just filling the small dents in the wings.

where did this pic come from? if its acurate it looks kick butt!

Just look at the Dark Eldar preview thread. Taken from a GW facebook page, first reposted on Warseer..

im gonna be SOOOOO broke this summer.

probally cause ill be spending all my monies on new DE...then my wife will divorce me cause i spended all the monies, and take half my models so ill have to use whatever i have left to buy moar modelz.

oy.

i wonder if they painkillers for bank accounts?

Don't know if it's on here already but I just found this link in Beasts of War:

Mmmmm

Don't know if it's on here already

Oh it is

Nevermind...

Well, at least we now know that you don't have a look at the threads you post in

It wasn't there before I posted, I swear

it's a sweet looking model!

I really think it is a double kit. Honestly, a diff paintjob, weapon swap to CW and there is nothing screaming at me that it isnt CW or DE specific. Hell, there are even gemstones all over it, they just happen to be painted the same color as the hull!

Gemstones is a good point!

Kroothawk wrote:Gemstones is a good point!

It also looks like the EML on the left picture under the wing as well.

Gemstones is no clue at all, the Raider/Ravager has loads on the sail and gun rack as do the Helion's boards. That said I still think that there will be an Eldar version, maybe not in the same kit, but another box with a different wing sprue with new weapons etc.

I spotted the EML, too, maybe that's on the common sprue?

This guy didn't do a perfect job either, but you get the idea. I would mount the guns vertically on the sides of the turret, instead of somewhat horizontally as this guy's done.

Not really. No anti-air vehicle would ever have a weapon that could not rotate on the xy plane.

razorwing is awesome!!!!!
