I like the Leviathan, but god, are there some new characters or special units?

**zedmeister**

I'm trawling the blogs, but not spotted anything yet. Reckon we'll have to wait until the seminar before those appear

Edit: Mor Daerethyn are available for pre order and Corsair Jetbikes are on show - waiting for pictures

**Moopy**

Reminds me of the very OOP first generation of terminators.

40k Relic Leviathan Dreadnought rules

Spoiler:

**Paradigm**

Love that new Dreadnought, it's just an awesome cross between the 'standard' Dreadnought and a Contemptor, with the blocky body and shoulders but legs and arms that can actually move! Awesome design work there!

**zedmeister**

Ouch, they're pricey. Fully equipped, they cost £72

**NoggintheNog**

I guess this appears in time to replace the contemptors that they will lose if they are going to be in plastic now as the rumours suggest.

They look fantastic I have to say.

**zedmeister**

New brass etchines

If you look on the sides of the etchings are templates. These are used to spray perfect chevrons (Iron Warriors) and also perfect lightning strikes (Night Lords). Cool!! These have only just come through the studio this week for event showing and have yet to be approved so no definite release time so watch this space for more.

WHW Head. Words.

They forgot to give the Dread Chapter Twctics/Grim Resolve/Other Marine things... :(

Little snipper from m_r_parker of B&C

Had a chat to Mark Bedford about the new Knight which he painted. He's also got a cabinet with a couple of other Kinghts (the two mechanicum ones) painted in the same scheme, and he's paining a Triaros transporters well.

It's House Malinax, and is a Dark Mechanicum aligned household. It'll be included as part of the next Heresy book, and they'll be an official paint scheme and transfers eventually. As it's the first foray into the Dark Mechanicum it's going to be relatively similar to what we've seen so far, just with access to restricted weapons. He mentioned he's also working on the leader of this new faction - which I'm assuming must be an Archmagos or similar as its Dark Mech aligned.

Ordinatus Minoris should be out shortly, it was nearly ready for this event but didn't quite make it. The alternative one is being targeted for the Weekender next year (which is February again, apparently), but can't promise anything. Unfortunately it's not as easy as plonking the Warlord Volcano Cannon on the same chassis, there's going to be some changes to make it look different and unique

Experimental rules, on top of there only being 3 base attacks. Just send an email saying it needs CT and four attacks, and they'll listen.

Reading the experimental rules I think it may be intentional. Specifically the relic of darkness rule.

Interestingly they still include the relic of the armoury rule even though master of the forge doesn't exist. I haven't seen the relic of the armoury rule being changed unless I missed it?!

So my Astral Claws are getting two of them. Because Master of the Forge Valthex says so.

Okay, 1). that's Tau vs. Admech, which is a good sign and 2)., while I realise this is just a display diorama, I think I see a Thanatar and what is definitely an Ordinatus amongst those Skitarii units, implying we'll get to field them together (and definitely in 40K as they're fighting Tau) . Hype status: Acquired.

*Edit* Okay on closer inspection what I thought was a Thanatar is just a Knight. I'm still holding out hope,though...

Thanks for spotting that, I didn't even notice. Excited / concerned about the ordinatus coming to 40k! I'll be getting one for 30k tho for sure.

I want myrmidon & thanatar for 40k :(
