I hope it won't be costly just to unlock Inquisitorial Stormtroopers...

Stormtroopers are elites in the Imperial Guard codex and Troops in the Daemonhunters codex. Why are we assuming that won't be troops?

I believe it was rumours about them being tied to an SC.

Yes, that would be why.

With the (alleged) de-emphasis on the Inquisition elements, this rumor has the ring of truth to it.

Maybe.

Yeah, obviously if SM v5 comes out then SM v4 is dead. But it's not as obvious that book on a marine chapter replaces a book on an ordo.

Is it possible we could argue the old book is still in play?

It's a valid point.

Although didn't Tau switch from Codex: Tau to Codex: Tau Empire or something?

And I remember it took an FAQ question to kill Codex: Assassins as there was nothing in CH or C:WH...

Wow, I hoped we'd stop this army-boosting SC fad...
at least it doesn't sh** up the FOC...
I bet it's stern that does it.

No. The ability to take the special 2-wound FNP terminators that may or may not be called "Paladin" terminators as troops, which is rumored to be distinct from the standard TAGKs. Not +1 wound to every terminator.

To be more precise, Stormtroopers would be put under the umbrella of "Henchmen" in the elite section which functions like the Dark Eldar Beast Master. Many different units with lots of customization options, and an SC could change the FOC to make them troops.

I understand that, but we all seem to be assuming that they'll be Elites more than that they'll be Troops, which they are now. And, those same rumors don't outrule units of Stormtroopers as Troops.

Put another way, Imperial Guard have access to Command Squads that contain Veterans, but Veterans are still available as a troops choice, y'know? Maybe there's something lost in translation here.

Stern giving terminators +1 wound that would odd he i am here have a extra wound ? it will make your opponents look stern at Stern sorry really bad joke

According to the rumours, you've got two different units: "Paladin" terminators, and ordinary terminators. Paladins are Elites and ordinary terminators are always troops. The special character moves Paladins to Troops, he does not give ordinary terminators an extra wound.

Hopefully the SC that unlocks Stormtroopers will also allow for many other options for a pure Daemonhunters force. Assassins, Henchmen (of many different kinds), Adeptus Arbites, anything really plus the usual inducted forces except Grey Knights. Doesn't need to have models out there; just the option alone is enough.

That; or just give me my Codex: Inquisition.

But I like having Inquisitors in my Grey Knights soup.

And I like having Grey Knight marshmallows in my Inquisition cereal.

Oh, and for the record, eating Inquisition cereal with anything other than 1% milk is heresy.

Yes The Emperor protects. (but not the lactose intolerant)

C:GK wish list:
plastics
stormravens
assassins
inquisitors
henchmen (ISTs)
Them in the fluff not to be OTT.
battleforce
them to be the bane of CSM as well as daemons.
able to deal with all the mech.

well plastics is almost definate

stormraven has gk bits so i would be surprized if they didnt have it XD

I'd expect a box for new GK in power armor, GK in terminator armor, and one new kit for a new unit that's a "must have", then 6 months later we'll get a battleforce and the like. Considering both the Blood Angels and Dark Eldar released without battleforces and are allegedly each getting one in their respective second waves, I don't see a launch battleforce happening.

Joke posts...

Wishlisting...

Trigger finger... itchy...

*nudges*

To be fair, there hasn't been any updates for 14 days...

Oh I'm sure there's plenty of new info out there Alpha, but we have to assume that those people who do know anything knew aren't allowed to say what they know.

Fine, we'll just have to shoot them too!

KILL EM ALL!

I know there are multiple rumors about changes to assassin rules, but has there been any information as of yet regarding new assassin models?

I could finally buy a culexus assassin!

Doubt they will be in plastic first wave, its almost wishful thinking to hope for them to be plastic at all, I mean, theres nothing that needs changing on the models for a rules update.

Why not buy a metal Culexus assassin?

If anything, (Whishlisting here) They might re-vamp a new metal one. But probably no plastics

well like the great band slipknot once sang: if your 5-5-5 i am 6-6-6 whats the mather being a heritic? (yes i am lactose intolerant)

I wish for no plastic assassins, just new detailed metal ones.

My issue with the culexus is its static "I'M POINTING!" pose.

How would they make a plastic assassin kit anyway? Each is so varied it doesn't lend itself to the idea. A plastic kit each seems...wasteful...

A new evesor would also be nice. Like I've said before, one in mid "WRRRRYYYYYYYYYY!" would be awesome.

Not that I think it's at all likely, but most of the differences are in the heads and arms. An Empire Battle Wizard-esque two pack with enough heads, arms and stowed kit to create Assassins from any two of the four temples seems perfectly feasible. The biggest problem would be that this kit would require either a male Callidus or females for the other three temples.
