Huh, weird base size. Seems larger than a dreadnought base and smaller than that of a tyranocyte. Is it new or just off-brand?

Interesting comments posted by Theredknight of B&C, especially the bolded part. I suspected that myself, privately.
Sadly the Alan Bligh, emperor of 30k wasnt there, I enjoyed my chat last time too with him.
Andy hoare and mark Bedford I chatted to. And always do. Andy with the rules bits, and mark made me want to buy the sold out leviathan!
He is looking forward to reviving his blood Angels from 2/3 years ago soon he says.
They are really a good duo (apart from the sangy joke, I will take the Mick next time!)
It's quite evident that gw seems to have minimal to 0 respect for their fan base, it was almost an air of contempt or 'worship me' whereas the fw guys seem a good bunch to chat to and a laugh.
Not gw bashing here no, but a contrast in the two 'sides' of the coin.
A few chats let me conclude that fw staff and designers generally don't like 40k rules and the way it is run over there.
They all work together and develop rules and the model itself together rather than work separately on something they may not be interested in.
So the old gw and fw are the same isn't true, they may have top brass in charge, but allowed to run independently of each other, which is something I think works very well.
The primarchs development books were massive, and shows just how much background they go into developing models. Bl clips, pics or people chopping wood etc (ferrus pose) for an emperors son, I'd expect no less and makes me feel that the price tag is worth it completely.
I took notes throughout the day and jotted my memory. I wrote some bits I thought about how the 40k designers designed rules, but refrained from posting lol

It looks like one of the 80MM bases they have up for sale on the GW site now.

I love that head so much more than the "stock" Wraithknight's head. I wish they'd sell the head separately, I'd replace them all.

So sorry about the qaulity of the photo. It's clearly been passed around a few times before it reached me- new stats for the Lynx.
To summarise ;
235 pts
5 hull points
Large blast D shot or 3 two linked D ordnance shots.
Heavy support so no longer a super heavy.
Something about being a flier - can't make out.
No more holofields.

I love Eldar Corsairs and have always mused on doing an army of them.
Out of curiosity is it fair to have a burning grudge against CW Eldar?

Oh yes, they're not known as outcasts for nothing. Plus, it used to be in the old Corsair list that you could take very limited Dark Eldar as part of your army that weren't allies...

That doesn't surprise me - a lot of players don't like rules, either!  Yep. Here's some more from Theredknight - his impression on how the 40k codexes are dumped out. From the seminar: They basically stick the model on the table, having never seen it before and get told 'make some rules for it' So they see a support thing on a leg and think 'that it'd be cool if it shoots all its weapons twice..oh and it'd be cool to take in units of 3. But they can't attack in combat if they have used them, but I did think about letting it use the stand as a cc attack. But no, that'd make them op, so we won't do that, their weakness is that a unit of terminator space marines could slaughter it/ them in combat' Thats the actual mindset of them, I was sat there thinking, wow.. Do you even play this game? How would you even manage to get near those gun platforms, and survive the 5+hitting on over Watch and other things? They openly admitted that they don't plan codex updates in conjunction with others in mind or what the codex itself needs, so an army could do with assault units, no, they will do as they please. Codex now are a 'design team' effort. And the likes of one designer doing an army he really liked (crons were used as an example here) are mostly gone. However those old favourites are still involved (sigh for some) If they are not interested in the army it was lack lustre (tyranids example) if they loved the army they would be powerful (crons) To be honest, most of the newer codex have been on a similar over the top rules together. Strength d all over the place makes it hard to enjoy playing against them, we've all been there. It's why we shift to 30k now, They admit that they leave it open to abuse because 'you can't stop everyone wanting to power game' I think nowadays it is a lot more common than say,4 years ago, with all the d shenanigans and invisible Death Star units and assaulting from deep strike things like sky hammer. But it is all 'cool' to do.

To be fair, this was the 40K Open Day, right? I'm surprised we even got to see that much of 30K-specific stuff.

The GW strategy for playtesting and rules creation just looks horrible. Like what I would do if I was designing rules for a kitbashed model when I was about 13.

The leviathan to me looks more like a contemptor crossed with a helbrute. The curved armor plates seem more reminiscent of an unmutated helbrute rather than the standard loyalist washing machine dread. The Relic of Darkness special rule kind of suggests that the two might be related as well.

Agreed. That whole bit of fluff for their unique system of interfacing the marine into it and psychological consequences sure seems to point to it.
