Ummm... he is... if you file taxes you get an extra $400. Just remember $400 today equals $600 in taxes in 4 years not adjusting for systemic government inefficiency.

I heard a rumor that GW Australia doesn't even write his address... when he orders they only write "HBMC" and the postal service knows where to take the pallet of products.

Somehow I feel that I should have noticed sooner that the siege shell was on the same page as a gun that previously had a special rule allowing it to use siege shells and two other gun that have the word "siege" in their names.
She sells siege shells by the sea shore.

I heard a rumor recently from someone who used to work at GW... his source says the Colossus is an upgraded Griffon variant. Which is why both can be lumped into the same box as the basilisk and medusa. Which is why little has been said about. And is why its so similar. There is also the possibility that the Griffon is squadron-able or attachable while the Colossus is definitely not.

And my house is easy to find, as my car's parked out front with 'HBMC' number plates. No I'm not making that up.

Did see a car today with HSBC number plates. That made me laugh.

Now all you need is an Imperial eagle tat for the nerd trifecta.

Ozymandias, King of Kings

I want to get my car sprayed Ultramarine blue and a big upsidedown Omega painted on top of it.

If I got the eagle everyone would think I'm a Nazi.

BYE

You mean they don't already?

(OK, maybe just 'everyone online'!)

On a serious note...

I can't find my Daemonhunters/Witch Hunters books.

How do they handle allies?

Will I be able to just plug them into the new Guard codex, sort of how Space Wolf players caught a bone with the wording in their codex and meshing with the new Marine codex?

How about allies?

Will I just be able to plop an Inquisitor Lord down in a new Guard codex army?

I suspect so. Assuming no units have gone away (and Conscripts are in the summary, so my guess is 'no, nothing has gone away') then you just take whatever's there.

Inquisitors can be used in Imperial Guard armies. I'm pretty sure armies from the new Guard Codex will count as 'Imperial Guard armies'.

Also look at it a different way - did the new Marine 'Dex stop people from taking Inquisitors in their Marine armies (and vice versa)?

BYE

I'm back to being happy again.

And really, with the money I'm going to end up spending, so is GW.

Which is more than enough reason for the Guard Codex to be... flexible in terms of allies and such...

ap3 hellguns! my god I am breakign out my 2nd ed plastic stormtroopers now.

lol, I still have a unit of plastic 2nd edition Stormtroopers.

Does anyone know whether or not there is any truth to the idea of Leman Russ squadrons? And if so, will the variants of the Russ count for these squadrons?

I haven't seen this posted but the regional manager at my flgs said that the vendetta is actually the vulture

i thought it was determined in another guard rumor thread that you'd be the guy standing out in front yelling at the kids to get off your lawn!

The vanquisher needs to be BS4 or AP1(its AP2 on the datasheet) to be better at anti-tank than a demolisher. Even if it can fire a hull lascannon at the same time, a demolisher is better at killing AV14. How a dedicated AT gun is worse than a short howitzer in all AT aspects but range I dont understand. I hope we are missing an upgrade to vanquishers.
A bunker buster is the same but with more range and indirect.

Not to derail the thread, but I second the "can I get a link" to this! This is the first I've heard of extra money for filing taxes, and that surprise $400 would probably go toward a lot of plastic and or resin toys.

$400 for most individuals (and $800 for families). Plus, those of you still in college will likely be eligible for a $2,500 tuition tax credit.

Just thought I'd mention it for those looking to stock up before hand. Like me. Time to go loot some FLGS!

Both are still on the UK and US sites.

Heh. The "mythical wo-mens" are the grenadelauncher equipped troopers attached to my infantry Command Squads. From old metal Catachan Special Weapons blisters. Privates Hanna and Mirja have bravely followed their Captains against vile traitors, foul Xenos and the abominations of the Warp.

There's always that female Ghost and those two girlies from the Last Chancers if in need of some bras in the ranks.

Good god, we're only getting € 200!!! Thankfully, with the pound at an all-time low, ordering from the UK nearly halves the price.

Where do you think I'm ordering from? I can get AUD$1100 worth of stuff for AUD$600 from the UK at the moment, and no shipping fees!

Dang it, you're supposed to spend that money in your own country and help boost the economy!

Or I could just buy lots of Valks.

One option is a noble course of action helping to keep business afloat in uncertain times... and the other is just spending money in my own country.

There has actually been much controversey about the Australian handouts being wasted on gambling, with the casino takings rising sharply the month of the government handouts.

Sorry to go off topic...

I wonder with Creed and Kell apparently being seperate choices whether it will be too expensive to bring them both, or if there is any reason beyond fluff incentive to have them paired together.

Not to mention the 7 or 8 Rogue Trader era ones... I knew a guy who had an all female IG army 3 platoons of those old figures... so many duplicates (clone army?).

Funny and sad... but its become those people money. The guy who does manage to take his hand out and make it more (more power to him) will be that much better off. We can't really judge as that gambling is as much someones entrainment as this hobby; someone could just as easily take offense to us buy "toy soldiers."

Taking both will probably allow you take something really important as Troops/make something really important scoring.

Odd that really, according to the background those two are BFF!

The way you say that makes them sound like an ambiguous --- duo, if you know what I mean... kinda Alexander and Hephaestion relationship.

Here on out... the term "BFF" should be band from 40k.

Wait, are you telling me that space marines, a male-exclusive warrior society, don't follow the BFF code?

No... those groin plate are also chastity belts. Power armored chastity belts.
