Oh yeah, take Faith points from sisters, so they will just be bunch of space marines with T, S and I 3, no terminators, land speeders or land riders...

Not a thread about Sisters! So please drop it, or take it elsewhere.

The blood soaked kitten folks are about to share some new rumours with us, and I for one am interested to see what they got right.

So how 'bout we all hold ourselves back from screaming about nuns with guns and wait for that instead, ok?

How's Blood of Kittens track record thus far, HBMC?

Lets hope these rumours have pictures or are accurate. Otherwise its nothing exciting.

Pictures! Yes. I really want to know what the Dreadknight looks like. We've been hearing about it for too long - it's time to SEE it.

Or at least get a decent idea of what it really is. Rehashed dread or penitent engine or something totally new?

Yeah. Honestly I have no idea how the whole GK monstrous creature thing is going to not look terrible.

hypocryte you yourself added too the discussion about the cost reduction which is also not a topic thats ment to be here. but you do make a point. and too add too your list STEAMTANK! from 100 euro's to 45 euro's. and greatswords

I think he was talking about the change for Grey Knights from metal and $70 you need 10 guys for a full squad of pa $35 for the 5 man box and another 30 for the blisters to fill it out and $60 for the terminators.

From BoK:

"With the Grey Knights incoming in April (predicted here first). I think it is about time we get some more information out there. Just use your magic mouse to see…

The Grey Knights are getting a new unit or they are getting an upgrade that causes an automatic hit to any enemy model in base-to-base with them. This hit wounds on a 4+ regardless of enemies toughness with normal saves allowed and occurs before ALL attacks (think old mandiblasters), but still adds to combat resolution at the end of combat.

Besides the latest rumor I would like to announce that just like when the Dark Eldar codex release their will be a “codex release party” where you can get a sneak peek at the latest and greatest the GK have to offer as well ask any questions. More details to be announced in the future. In the meantime sign up for the Blood of Kittens Network if you haven’t already (its free and easy) and you get emails when the latest rumors or contests are announced."

Well that was a bit of a dissapointment :(

Agreed on the disappointment. To me, it sounds like a reasonable modification to Holocaust- it hits faster, but it would have to hit fewer models than it does now.

Blood of Kittens reminds me of an episode of "Crossing Over with John Edwards".

"I see a unit...no wait, an upgrade! Er, uh maybe both! And it will do something neat!"

Hey, if I want to be lectured - I'll go stick my head in a meeting or something, OK? It's a discussion, they wander sometimes. Relax, Commissar Vertigo.

Was that the update they were bragging about having; while trying to get people to sign up?

If so...that was a big disappointment.

I was kinda expecting one of those big awesome lists with unit names and rough points values.

well, I appreciate any source that does it's best to provide rumours but this latest thing from BOK sounds like digital weapons which already exist in the current daemonhunters codex. off the top of my head, it works in the same way but attacks at an effective initiative value of +2. And currently only inquisitors are allowed to take them for, I think, 15 points.

so what does this suggest? it either points to inquisitorial units getting a revamp and confirming their presence in the new codex or it means that wargear previously only available to the inquisition are now army wide. Unless it's very expensive wargear, I can't see this being more that someone getting a look at a small part of the wargear section of the new codex and putting it up on the net.

I could see digital weapons being more widely available, but this supposed ability sounds more like holocaust to me.

That was rather GW of BoK, wasn't it?

That is the best way to describe it yes

Updated rumor page thanks to Blood of Kittens.


Regarding the latest rumor, as pointed out on Seer....this could be annoying to large creatures that rely on high T and WS......more than low saves to survive. Big bugs, Wraithlords, DPs, etc will be pretty annoyed to get auto-hit...and wounded on 4+ when they only have a 3+ save to fall back on.

Actually, I'd say it's much better against hordes (surely the GK's 2nd largest problem? Other than Mech). a 4+ then a 3+ against a monstrous creature isn't that impressive IMHO, particularly considering it would only be once per turn. In fact, I can't imagine that being at all a problem.

Against hordes and some of the more fragile dedicated assault troops (particularly high initiative) such as Banshees, Wyches, Genestealers etc. it could prove to be very nasty however...

*Shrug*, 10 GKs will only kill...what 4ish Orcs with that upgrade? 4 removed from the rear...by way of comparison, they would wound a Wraithlord 2ish times....

If I was a wraithlord/carnifex, I would much more hate plasma weapons compared to these things...htis on 3's, wounds on 4's/5's (IIRC) and no armour saves.

Don't all recent armies have special rules to squat Tyranid monsters on the fly? Seems pretty standard nowadays

Yeah....and they would fear Str. 10 Force Weapons even more...but that doesn't take away from a plasma gun though....just like a plasma gun doesn't take away from this power/ability .

So whats the latest rumour from Blood of Kittens? the OP doesn't really point it out.

I can neither confirm nor deny the latest rumour because... it's so very vague.

The vaguer you are, the more likely your guess source is right!

I am not sure the baby cats who are covered in their own blood, as all cats should be, can be trusted.

Sure, id love even a psychic power to be like that, itd be awesome if it stacked too, like if your in BTB with 2 GK you take double the hits, but its just not credible. and its so very vague, and they hyped it so much. I smell the smell of suspicious doings.
