Expensive months, especially February and March

These do not have to be Fallen (heretics) but could be from another era like Greyfax and Cawl or Dark Angels still loyal to the Emperor who have kept their armour through the ages etc. There are quite some possibilities, I guess.

I am quite happy with the models' details. They are not overly covered with bling. What we get fits the story and is quite conservative










I think - like the other GS characters - they blend in well with the army



Even Cawl

Well, Gulliman's size and all

The miniature featuring a dead Traitor in a newly sculpted Chaos Space Marine armour could be a major teaser for a new kit - or even a new range in that Dark Vengeance/RT baroque style




After this



we got these




It took a while but it happened. Was that kind of helmet at RG's feet ever used for a miniature before?

And it doesn't need many kits to update the old range

- Basic kit
- Havocs
- Chosen

Any ideas what the black-armoured miniatures in the center of this WD photo are? There is Greyfax. And accompanying her are four or five Marines with heavy weapons. Are these Black Templar, Fallen or something else?

"A brand new game" What?!




If you’re heading to AdeptiCon* this March, you’d be madder than an Ork Mek to miss our Studio Preview events on Wednesday night.

Now, we’ll grant you, ‘Studio Preview’ doesn’t give much away, and we can’t tell you too much here either (lest we ruin the surprise) but we can tell you it’s not just a bunch of pictures on a powerpoint slide. Because, sure, anything we show you will end up on the internet, and even right here on the Warhammer Community site, quicker than a Speed Freek can rev his engine (it’s unofficial Ork day here in the office).

If you go to the preview event, you’ll not only get to handle a host of new miniatures, (some of which won’t be out for almost a year) you’ll get to play some games with them. And not just any game, a brand new game. On top of that, we’ve even commissioned some special dice for attendees to keep as a momento. And, that’s not even all. You’ll also get to see some new game mechanics we’ve got in mind for existing games and give us your thoughts.

Now, obviously, there will also be a powerpoint presentation (and maybe a video or two) with loads of cool unreleased miniatures and great new art, but that’s just window dressing.

Good point. But I'm fine with that, just a bit surprised they are going to show new releases (miniatures and a brand new game) at an event. Looking forward to it.

That makes sense, Davor. Back in late 3rd they released experimental rules for 40k (changes to close combat eg) which were then used in 4th.

Fallen Champions (GW webstore)

Bolt shells and plasma blasts rain down from all sides as the Fallen Champions spring their ambush. Enemies reel in shock struggling to fight back against deadly attackers who already have them surrounded and trapped within their gunsights. As the cacophony of battle fills the air, Cypher ghosts through the crossfire, eliminating one enemy target after another with salvoes of pistol fire. The Fallen fight as a single force, maximising their firepower and discipline to the detriment of their enemies. Even they do not know Cypher’s dark secrets, but they understand enough to never risk failure or apparent weakness under his gaze.

In this bundle, you’ll receive the models necessary to field the Fallen Champions, a formation from The Gathering Storm: Rise of the Primarch led by Cypher, Lord of the Fallen. You’ll receive:

the Triumvirate of the Primarch; 3 heroic miniatures including

Roboute Guilliman – Primarch of the Ultramarines – clad in the Armour of Fate, adorned with Ultramarines and Imperial iconography and featuring a splendid ceremonial halo, he wields the Hand of Dominion and the Emperor’s Sword (yes, the Emperor’s Sword). Supplied with a sculpted 60mm round base, featuring a broken Imperial Eagle.

Cypher – Lord of the Fallen – bedecked in archaic, makeshift gear appropriate to his renegade nature, his armour is retrofitted with parts from a variety of patterns – each part telling a story. He’s armed with a modified plasma pistol, and carries a particularly interesting sword on his back… Supplied with a Citadel 32mm Round base.

Grand Master Voldus, Warden of the Librarius – clad in ornate terminator armour, bearing marks of the Grey Knights, he is armed with the Malleus Argyrum – an ancient Daemon hammer that acts as a conduit for his psychic energies – and a storm bolter. Supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round base;

a set of 10 Mark IV Space Marines, with an impressive selection of armaments including bolters, missile launcher, heavy bolter, chainswords, power swords, power fists, plasma pistols, lightning claw blades, combi flamer, melta and plasma guns, a melta bomb and a set of combat blades! These miniatures also include ammo packs, holstered bolt pistols and a selection of frag and krak grenades. Supplied with ten Citadel 32mm Round bases and a transfer sheet;

and a set of 5 Fallen, including an upgrade sprue to customise your unit. There are also plenty of spare components that can be used to convert your other multi-part plastic Space Marine squads into Fallen. These are supplied with 5 Citadel 25mm Round bases.

Found some more info, VeteranNoob on B&C

custodes, and well, just about everything in the universe cameo in the story (excellent for the fluff, btw, IMO) but rules section is heavy metal, 2 page color panel Fallen designs, Echoes and Cataclysms of Wars scenario rules, the triumverate individual and together, Fallen as faction but probably not the pages some may hope, GK and daemonic adversaries inline with this narrative better buffs, items, formation/decurion Ultramarines, some items and tactical objectives, warlord traits for UM...think that's about it. 
 
I also like Forge the Narrative, Started a week after us (almost 4 years ago). Listened to their ep tonight.


and Ronin_cse quoting a podcast (Forge the Narrative)

Cypher is basically the same as he is now rules wise. He plays a big part in the story.
 
Fallen are their own faction now. Their unit is basically the same as DA vets with the same options. There's a formation that includes Cypher and 3 units of fallen
 
He can still be BB with armies of the imperium minus DA and Chaos Space Marines
 
They are being super vague about him and the fallen to avoid story spoilers

Ronin_cse - some of the other rules in the book (source: podcast)

Well I can only listen so fast!
 
There's a formation that includes Cato, honor guard, and a unit of sternguard or vanguard. Adds 1 to all their WS and BS and allows Guilliman to look out sir with models in the formation


The big detachment gives everything ob sec. Gives you more doctrines for ultra marine models. Sounds like it's just another version of the regular gladius. Also it includes relics for Ultramarines in the book. There is a Triumvirate formation of course but they didn't go over the rules for that


Warlord traits too, one allows you to seize on a 2+.
 
there's a cloak that gives IWnD and Eternal Warrior. There's a standard that allows a killed model to complete a shooting or combat attack before it is removed. 60 pts though



Spoiler:
Back to the rules (there was an interview in between). Just dropped a hint that Draigo leaves the warp for a second to bless the new GK character


Voldis has frag grenades...his thunder hammer IS NOT unwieldy 


Daemonic adversaries chart: basically a way to come up with a reason for GK to fight something that ISN'T daemons. Could add effects like xenos that are possessed by daemons for example, really just a narrative tool


Bulwark of purity: 1 librarian, 2 units of paladins, 2 terminators (all grey knights). Librarian must wear terminator. While 3+ units on battlefield you can add +1 to deny the witch tests, and if any unit casts banishment all daemons within 12" of any unit in the formation are also affected

I need a bit of explanation on that one

 
That's all they said about it. Think of it like the empearyon (spelling?) chart from GS1, really just there to add flavor to the game

Ordered all three Triumvirate sets and book II + III yesterday. I enjoyed reading part I and look forward to playing through the entire campaign this summer. Overall, a good release. It reminds me quite a lot of 1992 and Jervis Johnson's Wargame Series, with Bill King fleshing out the Horus Heresy story, followed by Battle for Armageddon and Doom of the Eldar. All three (four with 1st Battle for Armageddon expansion) were laying the foundations for so many of today's storylines. I hope GW continues with these in-depth, story driven campaigns

Codex: Adeptus Custodes (found by Modular - gw-fanworld.net)

http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/codex-adeptus-custodes.html



Codex: Adeptus Custodes

A Warhammer 40,000 Codex

As part of the Talons of the Emperor, the Adeptus Custodes are the golden claws of the Imperial Eagle, the bringers of Terra’s bellicose vengeance across the galaxy. Their gleaming weapons and pageantry of war incorporate the finest examples of the battle-artificer’s skill. This codex gives you full rules for adding Adeptus Custodes to your Warhammer 40,000 armies.

CONTENTS
– Three datasheets: Custodian Guard Squad, Venerable Dreadnought & Land Raider
– One detachment: Golden Legion Task Force
– Armoury of the Adeptus Custodes and Aegis of the Emperor special rule
– Adeptus Custodes Warlord Traits
– Background for the Adeptus Custodes' return to the galaxy
– A showcase of Adeptus Custodes Citadel Miniatures

DESCRIPTION
The hour of action is nigh. With the surge of Chaos activity across the galaxy and the threat of eternal damnation more real than ever, the Adeptus Custodes have taken their vow of protection to its logical extreme – they will see the destruction of those forces who pose a threat to the sanctity of Terra. Clad in baroque, golden artificer armour and armed with priceless relic weaponry, the Adeptus Custodes make for a magnificent sight. They tower over mortal men; each has the statuesque physique of an ancient hero, close to nine feet in height even without his scarlet-crested helm. On the battlefield they are a force to be reckoned with – with guardian spear and ornate broadsword alike, they cut a swathe through the foe, bringing entire armies of traitors and renegades to their knees with the might of the Emperor himself.

This codex includes the full rules for Adeptus Custodes in games of Warhammer 40,000, including a detachment for adding them to your armies, and rules for mighty Custodes Dreadnoughts and Land Raiders!



Small amount of units, but better than an 'aux detachment' I guess


Some more pics

I guess this was published prematurely and is only a separately sold part of a Talons of the Emperor (e)book, like Daemons have an Incursion codex extracted and sold separately from Curse of the Wulfen. Maybe we will see an additional, larger (e)book release and/or a similiar document for the sisters.
