Thanks for the likes everyone! As a reward, you get an early glimpse at this phenomenal piece of artwork from part II in the saga of War Zone: Fenris.

What's going on there? We don't know, but it looks awesome (unless you're a Space Wolf. Then it looks potentially less awesome...)


.so those ships... very Silver Tower kind of thing no ?

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

What does the snake represent? Isn't Tzeentch more traditionally represented by birds/vultures?

Does the snake motif have anything to do with Magnus?

A fiery snake eating its tail is the 40k T-Sons symbol, so I'd say it's a reference to that.

One assumes the serpent arriving to devour the world ties in with the norse-esque mythology of the SW.

For a moment there, I had hopes, that these are ships of some new higly advanced, twisted, elegant race. Not DE.
Some race that couldn`t be described with "2 legs, 2 arms, 1 head, body"

Well, here`s hoping, that plastic tzeench stuff is about - a lot of people would be happy!

Which makes the fact that it is the Chapter Icon of the Thousand Sons even more appropriate.

Oh, right. And the Midgard serpent and Ragnarok and ok I guess that works.

I do like how they are slipping in some snark on some of this stuff. "What's going on there? We don't know, but it looks awesome (unless you're a Space Wolf. Then it looks potentially less awesome...) "

As much as a grudge match between the Wolves and 1K Sons sounds awesome. I'm just sitting here hoping we get some Grey Knight formations out of this.

Well, the Blood Angels put in a request for aid to the Grey Knights for movement against the Chaos Space Marines in the Diamor System. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw something in the near future. But if the Grey Knights are messing around on Fenris and the Blood Angels need them to act in the Diamor System, how are the poor Grey Knights going to make this work?

Currently there's only like 11 Grey Knights left in the Fenris System (5 Paladins/Terminators, 5 PA GK and Stern). The rest of the strike force was all slain by Daemons and Alpha Legion operatives.

Multitasking? I mean other chapters can have company here, 2 companies there so why not GK?

Ah, so the bulk of the Chapter is elsewhere.

The above post addresses my concerns. Not really multitasking even. Grey Knights will probably be in supplement #3 for Black Crusade, if there is one.

Sweet!! Time for some more dark angels datasheets, and maybe some that let a deathwing player use them solo.

Time for the dark angels to kill off those mutated wolves (wulfen at least )

Hoping for: dark angels, deathwatch, grey knights, and alpha legion data sheets (space wolves have recieved enough... 4 to books to be exact; a codex, supplement, and two campaign books)

Well, you can expect that, but I am willing to bet it will be Thousand Sons and that's it.

I like how they combined elements of Ian Miller's and recent Age of Sigmar art with a silver-y sci-fi look for these ships

Why would Deathwatch get datasheets? They just got their codex and this campaign doesn't feature Xenos.

I was going to say I know what the wolf symbol meant but what did the viper symbol mean. I didn't know they are a Thousand Son reference.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.

Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

It figures that as soon as I turn my attention to AoS, GeeDubs would switch focus to 40k. New 40k stuff has been pretty sweet, though.

2000 Khorne Bloodbound (Skullfiend Tribe- Aqshy)
1000 Tzeentch Arcanites (Pyrofane Cult - Hysh) in progress
2000 Slaves to Darkness (Ravagers)
