How ironic, been waiting ages for new/plastic Thousand sons and when it finally comes out it´s for 30k

Shouldn't be that big of a deal though right? I use my 30k minis in 40k assuming they don't have wargear that is 30k only. The look is a little different ,but it might be cool to mix some older armor styles into your army.

If you ask Spikeybits, they are referring to it as a Daemon Primarch. Reminding them this was clickbait will get you banned.

That aside, the kit looks great.


The Spikeybits/BoLS hybrid is a cankerous sore on the nethers of the 40k community.

Yeah. I will have zero use for SW specific figures. Hopefully the troops are generic MKIII.

Arhiman looks good. Not sure I can live without new plastic TS.

No but it's not like Ahriman is a total nobody, he didn't single handedly reduce a whole legion to dust and become embroiled in eldar fates by being some random dude (not a thousand sons player here)

When? Where? Got a link?

If you can't even provide a basic modicum of information about the rumor you're raging about, it's difficult for people to be able to reply to you.

For the record though?
There are two rumors going on right now. This one is likely the one you're talking about:
PENDING Release Schedule Rumors - Jul 2016
via a friendly raven ^.^

"First monthly white dwarf has the new Khârn in it (leaning forward charging).

Also a campaign type book with new rules for Chaos Space Marines. It's not a new Codex, but does have cool new rules.

Also included is the new Deathwatch Codex TRUE
with Artemis Model TRUE and the new flyer for them. Looks like a mix between a tau and imperial flyer." TRUE

As always, take it with a tiny bit of salt but that one is usually pretty spot on =)

Regards,
Lady Atia


So, remember that the "first monthly White Dwarf" comes out in September and is covering the entirety of August's releases with snippets of September's releases shown within. Kharn is supposed to be on the cover with a Slaughterpriest with Hackblade model as the free model.

Then there's this rumor, which many people started to believe was saying "RUBRICAE IN THE FALL!":
PENDING Chaos Rumors - June 2016

Anyone still hyped about Tzeentch? Yes? Great. Here some snippets to avoid all possible confusions:

- Forgeworld will do the Prospero Magnus. In resin. Around Fall, for the Inferno release (as I think Russ may be ready for sale for the next Open Day). There are no "problems", Simon Egan just was afraid of both the horns on his chest and his face. He will be the largest Primarch. And of course FW will continue to produce the 30k Primarchs.

- GW will use the Daemon Primarchs for their ongoing storyline. Because that's the things that "are more interesting". You can use them for both 30k and 40k games, more people buy plastic models than resin. Magnus is finished. But please don't expect all 5/6 Daemon Primarchs tomorrow lol.

- GW already did them (Angron, Mortarion, Magnus and Fulgrim) in EPIC. They all work as large focus models for their respective Cults.

- I wouldn't expect this stuff before the Summer is over. Relax, enjoy your Sylvaneth and play some games using your Handbook.

- Tzeentch Arcanites, Thousand Sons, Daemons of Tzeentch. #YearOfTzeentch (btw, don't take the year as year but more as ~12 months lol). Also, these aren't next in line, so again, don't expect this tomorrow ...

Last but not least, a quote from Sad Panda that summs it quite up

"Remember it is still a few months out, especially the 40K stuff.

There are a lot of things in the pipeline before it. Deathwatch for example." DUPLICATE

So, let's chill and enjoy our summer =)

regards,
Lady Atia


So kindly before raging at the rumormongers with accurate history because they don't chime in that they have information on something you're excited for, take a few minutes to peruse Pretre's Ongoing Rumor Accuracy Tracker. Take a few minutes and read through the list of rumors. Pretre goes out of his way to make that tracker and it's a huuuuuuuuge deal when it comes to figuring out who to lend credence to and who to ignore outright.

I'm surprised they are putting Sisters and Custodes in the box. Just seems like they might be better served by coming out with other units that would presumably in the same codex like they have previously.


Sad Panda does not always bat 100%.
Sisters and Custodes will be in the Forge World Prospero book, but whether they will be in this box I would wait for confirmation.

Sad Panda - Total rumors: (52 TRUE) / (0 FALSE) / (1 PARTIALLY TRUE/VAGUE) - Updated 8/5/2016

Oh, sure, he's only at 52/53. Not always 100%.

Since he's got one 'Partially True/Vague' shouldn't that be 52.5/53

lol fair enough.

I will definitely be trading most or all SoS and Custodes stuff for more of whatever the Astartes side gets. Mk III would probably go to my Salamanders, although I could use them in my Alpha Legion, too. Really want to know what the rest of the box contains, and hope we get some good solid rumors on that soon.

Add me to the group hoping for generic troops. One box to add to my 30k Ultras and one to mash up with BaC leftovers to make a small 1ksons or Wolves force. Also hoping that GW will have Magnus loyalists in 40k still wearing the red and gold when the next part of warzone Fenris comes around.

It sounds like it's 1ksons in current plastic mk4 vs space wolves in the new mk3 plus custodes and sos. I'm worried it will give us something like 10 mk3 and 30 mk4 since the mk3 "side" gets the custodes and sos

Considering the last BAC set got rules for 40k.
I'm expecting the custodes to get 40k rules since they will be straight model representations in 30k and 40k.

And I'm hoping GW uses the sisters of silence as a way to merge the sisters of silence and sisters of battle. They are both heretic hunting armies and lord knows the sisters of battle need the models for thier army and they would be so much more badarse having access to pariahs.
