Indeed they would be foolish not too, but as they would have had an idea that they would have been releasing a Storm Raven for the BA a long time ago you would have thought they would have either put it in the SM codex or at least mentioned it to leave the door open.

The SM codex is two+ years old. And it was being written for at least a year prior to that. So they might have conceived the Storm Raven in that gap, after seeing how well the Valk did.

Moving on, we have a precedent with things appearing in WD being considered Codex material: the night spinner.

Indeed and the BA codex is 8 months old and would have been written a year previous, and it doesn't strike me that 2 weeks after the SM codex release someone in GW would have said "oh crumbs, we could have put a Stormraven in it!".

I think it was a deliberate omission, which of course is just my opinion.

Like the fun and excitement being omitted from the Dark Angels Codex. Sorry, once in a while I can't resist one "of those" kinds of posts.

Perhaps it will get into the generic codex in the next edition, after all that's what happened with the LRC. It was a BT vehicle then everyone got it.

I don't see them producing a large model that is chapter specific. They can get away with the Baal Predator because they know the parts on it will be used by people who play other chapters, it is also still mostly the standard rhino model.

I love the Chibi-hawk, although it does fill me with "RAEG!!!" that it has a ramp on the front instead of a proper Angry Launcher and somebody painted it red, not yellow.

And flight is achieved with correct application of the thrust:weight ratio, not aerodynamics or aesthetic values. Do that math right and anything will fly

Two rumours by stickmonkey over at Warseer:

On a SM note, I do hear the Stormraven should be making its official debut "very soon." Not sure if its Advanced order or next White Dwarf, but it should have some better official shots soon...if not already, I havent really been watching the gw site....
(...)
On the flyer front. Theres a rumor of a thunderbolt fighter in design for plastic...from the sound its very early, and if other rumors are true of a "flyer" WD supplemental release, it would not make that cut.

As always, my rumors are typically far off and subject to change. but so far ive got a better hit to miss ratio...hopefully GK wont ruin my record...

Maybe they are eager to present better pics of the Stormraven

I'm sure lol

I agree. It is no where near angry enough. Where in the frack do I put the extra three flamers?

I think that whomever said that it could be included in the fliers suppliment as a choice for all space marines has it right.

75% that and 24.5% "WD article." The remaining 0.5% is "Not until the next codex."

I think I may have found another photograph of the GW chibihawk on the 4 chan image board:

Source thread

old news bro. It originated on THIS forum The thread's been up all day!

>_< I guess this is what I get for working all day.

Why you gotta link to 4chan dawg?

For soem unknown reasone ven to me i really liket his little Stormraven, il have to pick a few up..... in a few years most likely

It's kind of a slightly longish story which basically involved finding one thing whilst another was being sought.

Edit:

...And no, it wasn't anything dirty.

Gotta say, I am not sure if it is a kit-bash or not. A good one mind you, but certain parts still look all too familiar. Pretty cool, but not as cool as it could have been if it is the real deal. It look a hell of a lot like the conversions done by hobbyists, almost like they copied the conversions for the design lol.

1 guess as to whats next in the pipeline..off the back of this kit........ plastic thunderhawk!!!!!

We all wish, but what's more likely are the smaller flier models rumored for this coming summer.

According to the inside back page teaser advert in the newest White Dwarf, the new Blood Angels models will be released on January 29.

Do you have a link to the exact test? or does it specifically mention January 29th? (Any hint on what models or just stormraven and plastic furioso?)

WD last page states something of "next month Blood Angels".
Where did I miss the 29th january bit?

I am sure there are BA related events from 24-28 january in their stores ( to prepare for the february release kits ).

I've had a friend point out to me that the teaser featuring Blood Angels in the back cover is more about White Dwarf being released and featuring Blood Angels on Jan. 29 than the model release, so I guess I'll have to amend my news there. I guess it's a case of seeing what was expected rather than the internal details. Models will therefore probably be released the following Saturday since the first Saturday of the month is the norm for big new releases for the past year or more, Skaven this month being the exception.

No, there is no hint regarding exactly what models will be released in February, but that's not really much in doubt at this point, is it?
