Hmm, what's this? So they rename the same box with different cover art to try and sell it as a different kit? Shameless bastards.
That particular Vendread was designed to look as GK-y as possible, with the 3 fingered Doomfist, the sarcophagus panels with imprinted text, the tilt plate, and painted so the 2 leg arches were the same colours on the sides corresponding to the tilt plate (the left was white with sword and gear-tooth edges, the right was red with skull, on both half of the tilt plate and the full of 1 grieve image.

The GK-specific things are just paint, it's all stock parts in the kit. Check out the SM Vendread on the GW site, the Raven Guard has the exact same fist and legplates. The Ultramarine has th
e same text panels on the body. They can just slap the Grey Knight on the box, pop the same kit in, and done. It's nothing they haven't done before.

I'd both love and hate for it to be a GK specific dread. I'd happily snap some iconography and plastic psycannons up but I already HAVE four grey knight dreadnoughts.

What I mean is that the specific parts are generic, but out of those generic parts the most GK-like parts were picked. For example they choose the scripted panels as opposed to the flat ones or the raised relief artwork archways.

If they remove all of the Inquisition units and Assassins as rumored, how can they make a 104 page, hardback codex for $49.50? Either the rumors are wrong, they added SM units, or that's an expensive update to 7th.

...However, the Long Fangs would be a little harder. I can't remember the layout of the Devastator sprue, but aren't the heavy weapons all jumbled up with the Marines?

The missile launcher is, but the other heavy weapons are on a separate sprue.

I just had a look, the bodies/legs/heads are on their own sprue, the missile launcher and multi melta are on the sprue which has accessories, random weapons and shoulder pads, the LC's, HB's and PC's are all on their own sprue.

So you could omit the first sprue I mentioned and replace it with a single SW sprue and it would work out, you wouldn't be missing anything you need.

For the assault marines, the jump packs and jump pack bodies (the ones with the straps) are pretty much on their own sprue, so you just need that sprue + a single SW sprue and you're good to go.

hmm. I would of thought we would be getting some kind of multi kit henchmen box set by now. (And please save me the "well thats GW for you waah waah waah, sniffle" comments"

I wonder if they ever plan on releasing anything like it. It seems since Coteaz is so popular they could make some good money producing the Henchmen kits.

The troubling thing is that, given the GW policy of now "make models for it or drop it", and with no models being shown off...

Well, there's still time, I guess. I'm not overly concerned yet, but I only have a squad of converted henchmen right now. I mean, really, guardsmen work fine, so long as you have spare bolters laying around.

Well if I recall they suggested using the olde Inquisitorial Stormtrooper (well, Imperial Guard Stormtrooper) models for Acolytes. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw them repainting the Scions in a black/red paint and telling you to use those.

all "specific" box is only a repack, without new models or options.
sad but true.

any confirm about specific FOC?

Ah,I thought you were calling it out as not a stock model to argue against them just using it for a reboxed GK Venerable. My money is on that guy being the one on the box. Given the lack of accompanying models, I am starting to wonder if GW is actively trying to confuse rumour mongers by switching up codex release orders. Feels like a lot of long term projections have wildly veered off course in the last little while.

There's no reason to try to confuse rumor mongers. No one has anything beyond 2 to 4 weeks at this point. The only reliable long-term rumor mongers went silent right before the schedule heated up.

You guys think Paladins are going to have the same statline? From those army builder images, they didn't drop in points compared to terminators so was wondering if they might get something extra whether that be special rules or a boost in stats.

Found this. Unsure if legit or shoop based on where it came from

I get nothing - work blocked?

Yea the website is not the most reliable of places, first place i've seen that art though regardless

Spoiler:

Probably fake, if it's from 4chan. Any other information to lend credibility?

The poster reiterated a lot of what was said, repackaged boxes with Grey Knights plastered on it, Assassins their own supplement.

Nothing that hasnt already been said somewhere else

That would make a pretty sexy cover so I wouldnt mind it being true

Mainly based on the fact that I've never seen that art before, and it fits the style of the new codex releases

It's definitely in the "if it's a fake, it's a good one" category.

MexicanOrk reposted it.

Price in dollars for book in French?
Strange.

Why? It's a release list. You can order the french book in the US... Not to mention that whole Quebec thing.

Not for a US retailer.

Even less so for a Canadian one. French isn't only spoken in France you know!

Despite the best efforts of the rest of the world.

I can't see the 4chan image (even on my cellphone) anyone care to re host? please

Well my local store taking reserves on it is a pretty good sign its soon

Really? Why would someone want to do that? I thought it was pretty hard even the other way, to get the English book in France.

A significant portion of the North American population don't speak English as a first language.

Now, sure, a large part of that is Spanish, but don't assume every person who could read the English one would choose to.

Because GW doesn't have a seperate distribution chain for Canada. It's just "North America" so their NA dsitrubition chain takes Quebec into account. Basicly any French warhammer 40k books ordered by the Quebec GW stores are being shipped up from the US.

I´m sitting with the new WD and can confirm the cover on the regular codex

The boxes:



The assassin dataslate:

So any new tidbits from the WD?
