Aye, I don't get the 'secrecy is great' thing and probably never will.
I've got about £200-300 ready to go on 6th edition limited stuff, because regardless of the lack of any signs to the positive, we are all pretty sure it'll hit in July.

Why GW doesn't confirm that, let folks bubble with excitement, spread the word, get ready for the change in a positive manner, rather than surprise it on us a week before as it seems they currently have planned going on recent releases is beyond me.

I have often wondered the same thing myself. They just kind of busted on the scene about 3 years ago with all this production and video editing equipment, a studio, good bandwith, and a staff.

It wouldn't suprise me at all if GW was completely enamored with them, and started to feed them info at a very high level.

I don't think anyone can question their commitment to the hobby though. These guys, and miniwargaming.com are the 2 sites I point all new players to for both learning the game, and learning to paint.

I have three thoughts on this -
1) If the SM Stormtalon looks more like the Thunderbolt and less like the Storm Hawk or Storm Raven, I will buy three. Otherwise GW gets no SM money for me.
2) If the Ork flyers look decent, this may be the tipping point for me to get moving on an Ork army.
3) All we need is for Blood of Kittens to release their next round of Chaos/6E rumors at the same time and we could make the interweb asplode.

I wonder if the burna bomber will have a napalm type strike, with rules similar to the doom/night scythe weapon. You know the one that shoots a beam ahead of a point and damages all models in the line or something like that, but instead of a laser, its a big a** napalm strike.

I hope someone manages to get some screen caps of the various rumoured products. Doubt I'll b able to get near enough a computer to check it out.

Stormtalon?

Well... the Chibi-Hawk had no fuselage, so I can only assume that to maintain balance the Stormtalon will have no wings/engines.

It'll literally be a brick. On a flight stand, but still a concrete brick.

Despite being a single piece of concrete it'll still be incredibly difficult to put together and will require a lot of green stuff.

..Like a template, you mean?

I think these are some photos of them
Storm talon and ork

One's the Storm Eagle from Forgeworld...the other, I don't know.

The other is an Epic scale Ork bommer. Nice try but not cake Sherlock.

Now the ironic thing would be if those images are in any way similar to what Beasts of War shows.

well you can count on the new SM flier being based off of at least some of the Chibihawk sprues - sadly - so it'll look at least somewhat like the storm eagle for sure.

I'm hoping that there's more of a lean towards the Vendetta/Valkyrie Sprue over the Stormraven.

I'm hoping that at some point one of the designers used the internet for five minutes and figured out what an aircraft actually looks like. The vendetta/valk aren't exactly great either.

The Stormtalon is Games Workshop's newest Citadel Finecast upgrade pack. These stunningly cast bitz will transform the already amazing Stormraven into the Emperor's own flying spaghetti monster. Buy now while stocks last.

Substantially more aerodynamic than Jay Leno's chin...

The other question is, since BOW stated the time they were doing this, how quickly will their site get nuked by traffic?

Aye, well its work blocked for me, so I am just hoping a kind and just Dakkanaut soul will repost all the info back here at some point during the night.

Get home around 10.15pm, so can look for myself then if its a vid, as that will be work blocked as well, even here.. I just see a large empty space where ever a youtube vid should be.
