Hmm. I would love to be wrong, but the sources for most of this just don't have good track records.

I really do hope that this isn't true.

*shakes fist

I have to agree!

That blurb is from the least reliable section of those rumors, so I wouldn't sweat it.

Let's hope so.

I dunno, I could see them making Heavy/Special Weapon teams as "5 models base" with the ability to add 5 more.

I could see it happening as well, I just think that the source has to be looked at when something like this comes up.

So if I have followed the rumors correctly, the following kits have been rumored to be include in the IG release:

Plastic Ogryn
Plastic Stormyroopers/vets
Plastic Flyer ( new not seen before)
Plastic baby super Heavy tank (Malcador)
Plastic steel legion
Plastic artillery
Plastic hydra
Plastic rough riders
Plastic griffon / salamander
...

Is it just me or does that seem like too much? I can buy the stuff that is currently metal being made into plastic kits. However, for Gaurd, there is still so much metal, Ogryn, rough riders, Steel Legion...

So I am guessing we won't see half of the rumored stuff in April, but may see it rolled out over the course of the year.

Any thoughts?

You probably won't see half of that stuff ever. Remember what happened with all the rumored kits for Tyranids.

........... Actually, in regards to hunter tanks and salamanders, GW will include profiles in the new codex so fw models can be used. No new kits, just existing fw now included.....

Are you speculating or are you saying this as a new rumor?

I am more interested in the knight paladin rumor, since there are two separate "eye witnesses" of the said model... stating "...it was about 7.5" tall and stayed true to the original style..".. That'd be great & since almost every army is getting, or has, a giant walker, that'd be probable IMHO

Were they really two different people?

Yes, the 40k Radio folks recently, and last November by .... I forget the source right now, but let me google it again....

Save yourself some time... 40kradio didn't actually say they had seen them (that I've seen). Vela and must stay anonymous source for Natfka did but they are low reliability pile on folks.

Digital only supplements also run the risk of creating a 2nd class citizen when it comes to gaming. Don't have a digital reader? Looks like you're way outta luck, putting you at a competitive disadvantage. Not a fan of that. Reminds me of the 2nd edition equipment cards. I remember playing a game and getting ambushed with cards that came in magazines I had no idea existed or could assess, and I never want to go back to that situation again; I stopped playing until 3rd.

This old chestnut again. You know who else forced supplements on people right? Oh wait...

Do you have a computer? Than you can get a supplement. It isn't that big a deal. How many people play 40k and don't have access to a computer. It isn't like printing out the rules pages is that much of a chore. There's what 4-5 of them in most supplements.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_Hitlerum
"Another instance of reductio ad Hitlerum is asking a question of the form "You know who else...?" with the deliberate intent of impugning a certain idea or action by implying Hitler held that idea or performed such action.[4]"

The first paragraph was a joke. The second one was the one you should respond to. Geeze, kids these days.

Really, because I don't know any. Granted, that is my own personal experience, but I've never met someone at a shop/etc that didn't own or have access to a computer, smart phone or other computing device. Beyond that, I don't know anyone in the US at least who doesn't have access to a print shop, internet cafe or other place you can go to print 4 pages of text for a nominal fee.

And they are a damn sight easier to get a hold of and use than trying to track down back issues of white dwarf were.

I tried printing them out but they came out wacky, because of all the drop down boxes and so on if printed like 4 pages for 1 page. Printing them sucks big time. And so is lugging your desktop to gaming club.

Drop down boxes? ePubs don't have drop down boxes... Are you talking about the iTunes version or something? I don't even think those have drop down boxes.

You just write down the numbers of the pages you want. Go to print and put in the page numbers you want printed...

Good for you. Apparently, you lost your sense of humor in your long slog towards your advanced age.

edit: In case you weren't familiar 'kids these days' is also a colloquial expression and doesn't necessarily mean that the person you are talking to is a kid. I feel like I'm having to explain a lot about how humans communicate to you...

We've already got a thread on that. This is the IG thread.

Hey, guys, how about you start up a thread in 40k background to debate lasers versus solid shots and keep it out of this thread?

How it hasn't been shut down by now...
