Out of interest, what/who is stopping you using the Shadow Spectres, their Phoenix Lord, and/or the Falcon chassis variants in your regular (non-tournament) games?
I was trying to find a video on youtube of the final scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, where the Nazis open the Ark and all of them melt. Unfortunately it was impossible to find the original without stupid dubbed over voices. But, my point remains
It would have been cool to see some more snow related stuff (I don't know, Cadians in furs or something?), but I'll reserve judgement until I see what Elysian stuff is coming, the army that will forever be my unobtainable dream
I've been waiting for ages for this book to drop. Now that it has I still have to wait for them to put the Mk IIb Land Raider back up for sale before I can make my free delivery order.

And this is why there are always more Marine products ...
I was going to write "Just IG, Panzees and Space Furries? Pass." But the SW only get a special character, so I gave them a pass. There's still 3 Ork klanz that need doing, right?
To be fair, even the Ork book (IA:8) had a marine special character
7 Ork facts people always get wrong: Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other. A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot. Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests. Orks do not think that purple makes them harder to see. They do think that camouflage does however, without knowing why. Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor. Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers. Orks do not have the power of believe.

Possibly a silly question, but have you checked that the problem isn't your card?
Yes. Mastercard told me to check with my financial institution, my financial institution told me to check with mastercard...
Mastercard always gives FW problems. They've had to rework their site several times to accept it, and every time they've done it--it suddenly happens again half a month later.
If you can wait, we'll see IA11 on the GW site proper for around $75 but without shipping costs tacked on around the middle of January. They have to wait for a decent stock level(usually around 1k books) to reach Memphis, and then the webteam puts it up on the US site.
Also, sometimes your carrier will need permission to make international transactions. I didn't check your flag, chaos0xomega, but I know that I have had to call my card carriers before and let them know that I will be using my cards internationally and then they worked just fine.

Yeah, FW and GW should totally not produce that which sells not only well, but the best!

Ordered.
Looks great, if the campaign is as well written as the Taros book Xmas reading will be all the better.
Nice to see the Eldar getting a bit of a spotlight too.

Can elysians do blobs in their FW army list? I always figured they were more elite, small unit tactics like veteran squads. You could always just use them as regular IG now that they too get valkyries with the current codex.

Hooray, it's finally for sale, i've been anticipating this book for some time
Does anyone know when or if GW will stock it on their website/brick and mortars? I'm feeling rather cheap and am wanting to avoid the postage cost of Forgeworld.

I'd imagine it will be in the B & M stores, I'd be surprised if it appeared there before xmas however.

Yeah they can blob up. I'm more displeased by the fact that these elite Guardsmen can't take more than one special weapon in their command squads but I digress.

Check IA8, it has an up to date list, IIRC yes they can, but you can't take valkyrie transports for them.

Then tell us how to say it. It sure looks like "VIND -EE-CARE" to me.

Only really had a brief flick through, as usual looks great, the art and design work being first class.
The Corsair list seems like it'll be fun to play.
Is, understandably, somewhat heavy on the FW models front. Looks like it woulc/could be fun to play with/against.
: HQ :
Corsair Prince - can take a "command squad" type unit.
Void Dreamer -- psyker
Elites :
Voidstorm squad -- jet pack veterans unit.
harlequins
Craftworld outcasts -- a single FA or Elite from codex Eldar can be taken as an elite choice here.
DE Kabalite warriors -- restricted numbers due to theri untrustworthiness.
Troops
Corsair squad
wasp assault walkers
corsair jetbikes
-- Falcons and venoms as transports for some/most infantry squads.
Fast
Hornet squadron
Nightwing interceptor
Night spinner
Heavy
Phoenix bomber
warp hunter
firestrom
A few nice wargear options and rules here and there.
Bran Redmaw does indeed have 2 profiles -- 1 normal and 1 when he wolfs out. He seems quite fun and fair, nice to have some more SW characters too IMO.

The # of wasp walker squadrons may not exceed the # of corsair squads in the army.
