Be careful of saying that out loud: if Lady Gaga reads these threads, she might think it would be a cool new costume. Especially since she makes an appearance in certain other outdated books in our hobby

Canoness Gaga is a respected member of the order of the slowed uniform!

GK are actually going to be so BAMF, I cannot wait another second. So excited.


Grey Knights, bringing back the grimdark

After a bit of discussion of the quality of Robin Cruddace's rulemaking ability (seeing as most assume he'll be writing the codex), reds8n dropped this:

Assuming it is Mr. Cruddace writing it anyway eh?

Very early rumors had Phil Kelly writing the rules after he finished with Space Wolves...

I could only wish. I have a feeling Kelly is probably starting to eye Eldar again.

That wouldn't be so bad, either. I wonder if it'll be someone we haven't heard of, yet. Maybe one of the Fantasy writers will have taken this up.

I'm eagerly awaiting any further leaked images and news... nothing new so far other than the confirmation of the StormRaven.


Grrr.

Don't worry, the thread will have 15 more pages of garbage to sift through for actual information by the time you get back!

Phill Kelly ya say? Wouldn't that be nice.

But uhh... no. It ain't him either.

Nah, I get it, you can't say or your body will be found in a ditch in cornwall tomorrow morning...
anyone good (in your opinion?)

Jervis?

I hear Chambers is writing again...

Yeah but for FFG, not for GW.

And it ain't Jervis either. But that's all I'm saying. I can hear the black helicopters starting already...

Chambers would be a god-send. Even if I'm not balacing good/bad in writing terms, he had a lot to do with shaping the 40k universe, but didn't go the biased route of Pete Haines.

I thought he was likeable, and more in touch with the gamers than most Games Developers.

Adam Troke.

Oh yeah, he was also on the studio team, kinda forgot about him. What was he up to again?

I'm hella pumped for this!

So, with terminators being able to be selected as troop choices GK's can form a Deathwing style army?

You answered your own question, if that even was a question.

I guess it was more of a complaint. Given that the Deathwing and Ravenwing style armies were what really set the Dark Angels apart from codex chapters and now neither are unique (Semi unique for the Ravenwing seeing that the White Scars could do it too). I just hope an updated codex is in the works and something good is in store for the Emperor's First Legion.

With Termi's being able to be selected as Troops is a good representation of their fluff. When GK's are sent out to battle an Daemonic Incursion, they aren't sent out with an entire army's worth. Just a dedicated strike team. Termi's as Troops just represents the GK's sending some of their best into the fray.

I understand where you are coming from in your "complaint", but who gives a dam really. I will just be happy when I get my hands on some new plastic models and a codex fresh from the shipping boxes.

Has anyone thought that maybe its a brand new guy?

I though Robin Cruddace was writing it. Read the rumour somewhere.

Yeah, but as far as I can tell it's not a rumor from a source, but from a process of elimination.
Ward - Necrons
Kelly - Sisters
Cruddace - ??? Must be him!

Turns out it might not be, if you believe Red.

Writes for the web team and/or WD. To the best of my knowledge he doesn't write codices or army books any more. As lead writer anyway, I'm sure he, as all the Design Studio do, will have chipped in with ideas and suggestions.

See: Rules for Logan Grimnar

DA Hasn't been the Termi-Troop exclusive army for the past few years, so this would be nothing new. Infact, when its all said and done, I could see BA and Necrons being the only MEQ lists that CAN'T have 2+ Armor troops.

I'm looking forward to having my wolves, my sons and my kabal rip these kids up! At the same time, I have quite the large amount of pity being felt for the Tyranid and Daemons players in my group, but luckily they both have MEQ lists that just got shiny new SSs/Apothacarys/POTMS (DA for Nid player BT for Daemons).

~DAR

Eh BAs can take Sanguinary Guard as troops with Dante if I'm not mistaken.

Anyway, more stuff needs to be leaked...or it just needs to be march so my GW store can get their black box and I can empty my wallet on preorders. I've had money set aside for months for this.

There was also a rumour C.S. Goto is writing it

That's a let down. I wonder what assignment Kelly got? Last I read it was;

Cruddace = Grey Knights
Ward = Necrons



Kelly = Tau? Their background/fluff/rules are rubbish imo and Kelly is their star...so maybe he got that assignment (Like the breath of fresh air in the DE)?

Or, like so many rising stars before him, Kelly has been given the green light on some sort of super secret pet project that he kept safe deep within the cockles of his heart. And a year from now, we will all be wondering what it will be like to play the survival horror 40k game- Aspect Warrior. Where you and a band of your friends must defend the craftworld against all threats with your chosen aspect warrior!

Or the murder mystery miniatures game, hybrid! Where your killteam of guardsmen must figure out who among you is actually xenos scum!

For that matter, it may be something even wackier, like Grot Tank- the game where you race your friends to build a tank by balancing and connecting various pieces of scrap while avoiding the watchful (?) eyes of the mek and the ever hungry squigs! Sabotage, salvage, and sneak your way into the cockpit when the machine fires up, preferably while eliminating the competition.
