DEATHWATCH DICE!!! Didn't you see that part?

How cool should those be!!!?

Very to not at all, depending on the face that gets the symbol.

It'll be 1. All their dice have the symbol on the 1.

At least if its an inquisitorial =I=, the 1s make visual sense.
If its a burning skull riding a jetbike, doing a guitar solo, it makes as little sense as the other symbol dice.

I don't have a problem if the symbols on the 1. If I liked them enough I'd use them for leadership tests.

$20 is a bit steep for Leadership test dice.

It's not the end of the world but you can see it from here.

Mmm, interesting that they mention Rhana Dandra and fate being twisted or broken - it's almost like they're toying with the idea of an 'End Times', but have a little disclaimer in there just in case it goes pear-shaped.

The 7th rulebook makes mention to it being on the cusp of the End Times, iirc, much more than in previous editions.

There is a terrible darkness descending upon the galaxy, and we shall not see it end.

A day will come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down!

Winter is here!

Now shall faith be truly tested. cometh have the hour. I love me some Ragnarok.

Edit
5 campaigns rumored. Part 1 of 5.... I don't think we'll be seeing more posts. I think this is end times book 1/Campaign 1/Set 1.... my god the revelations!

Not 5 campagins.

I view this as part 1 of 5 eldar poems. released each day until Saturday.

Recently Atia told us that a new CSM would be released soon. Not a new Codex, but new rules which include new psychic powers.
Yesterday Raziel, one of the few reliable sources on 4chan, revealed some details about this book and more info about Deathwatch releases.

Raziel on 4chan

The Upcoming White Dwarf that will be released in september will have a new CSM supplement: Traitors Hate, with new Rules for CSM aswell.

Also Deathwatch will not only get the Boxed set, there will also be Bikes, Landraiders, Razorbacks, a box with 10 marines and Character Models for example the Watchmaster.

Renegade Imperial Knights will be within the Book aswell.

It sounds like the Deathwatch upgrade frame mentioned in the leaked pictures today is going to be sold with several SM vehicles

What if each post each day refers to a different prophecy for each of the five campaign books/sets they have plans for? Hmmm. So we're both right. Tricksies Eldar, but I'm far trickier.

Monday-Friday sounds more plausible

Hype restored for Deathwatch. It looks like the Deathwatch squad is 10 Marines, so a couple of those will be a good way to get started. Looking forward to the upgrade sprue. I will definitely be getting some bikes for this army!

Also, the Chaos campaign being in September White Dwarf? Now THAT is the best cover mount ever. I hope we see more stuff like that in the future (Blood Angels, please?!)

Sorry, I think you misunderstood the post. Traitors Hate is a seperate book, shown in WD.

So this turned up on tg. A new 40k boxed set called death Masque. Price is RM590 which is the Malaysian currency. No idea what that converts to.

Contents seem equivalent to a getting started set for.each side. Bit less on the death watch side and a bit more on the harlequin side. Glad it is harlequins and not eldar proper so I can use both sides of the box.

Only five DW Marines in Deathmask, not 10



I would be carefull with the above quote posted by L'astropate. The info could turn out to be wrong.

That almost sounds like a starter set, with the inclusion of the Soft cover core rule book, except without push-fit models. Interested to see what the Death watch upgrade frame is going to look like. I don't see myself starting a death watch army, but as a hobbyist I hope that if gives you enough parts to upgrade more then just the dread and 5 vanguard vets. That way you can use the left over parts to upgrade a tac squad or something for expanding the army.

Well, 5 Deathwatch Marines and (5 Marines + Deathwatch upgrade)

So is this Captain Artemis a nod to the 54mm Inquisitor model? He was a Deathwatch spacemarine as well.

10 marines, hero and dreadnought is exactly the same as the regular space marine start collecting box except these are veterans. The harlequins are about double a regular start collecting box. Sorry to keep talking about this but it is the steepest discount of any bundle since the shield of Baal starter set.

I really hope the Deathwatch Upgrade sprue is more than just some vehicle icons. The Vanguard Veterans from the boxed set will need DW shoulder pauldrons and left arms. I am hoping for vehicle icons, left arms, pauldrons, and some DW bolters. Maybe the squads will come with some xenos weapons. My guess is that the Deathwatch Veterans kit will be a recut Sternguard kit with stuff like the Deathwatch Frag Cannon instead of one of the other heavy weapons. It won't be the Sternguard kit, but it will have a lot of similarities. I am hoping it clocks in at $40 USD or somewhere near that. The more I think about it, unless Watch Captain Artemis is ONLY available in this boxed set, I will probably skip it (and download a screen shot of his rules), because I really don't need another Vanguard Veteran kit or a Venerable Dreadnought (not to mention the hassle of the selling off the Harlequins). I really doubt they will make Artemis or Eldrad exclusive to the boxed set anyway.

Man, if only money wasn't super tight for me right now I'd be all over that box set. I might even keep the Harlies instead of selling since no one around my area plays them that I know of.

I would keep the Eldar if it was standard Craftworlds Eldar with Eldrad. But since it is Harlequins and they don't really look like Eldar to me, I have no desire to keep them.

Crossing my fingers and hoping my existing DW models will still be usable!

I have a whole Space Wolf terminator army that was invalidated when the new rules came out making WG termies standard instead of customizable.

This moment I have waited for over 10 years, since GW told me the DW would not be a valid tournament army......

To everyone that is afraid their existing Deathwatch stuff will be unusable, why exactly do you think that? Is there something incredibly off the wall about your army that makes you think they wouldn't be usable?

sorry if this was already said: Anyone have any idea when the Porphyrion goes on sale?

With rumors of 8th edition and VAST SWEEPING CHANGES I might forgo the codex and just get the toys.

I would bet good money all our $50 codexes will NOT be usable in 2017.

Yeah, I am leaning the same direction. I don't want to spend a boatload of money on a book I probably won't use all that much. Art and model pictures used to be nice, but now they load the books up with cartoon-y nonsense that it isn't even worth it anymore.
