So pretty! I need all the shields. I will make a praetor with 2 shields that specializes in shield bash as he plays a lot of D&D on down days.

Those asscannons are meh. Rather simple, I guess. I suppose that makes sense as these are the prototype ones that fail on occasion, but I don't care for them.

They are not available for the imperial fists.

i want like 20 of them but a little bummed hey are right handed only.

are their left handed ss arms?

The Assault Cannons? Yea, they are available to Imperial Fists.

EDIT: p29 of the new Legions Red Book.

It was a joke fam
the news letter says "not" available to imperial fists and blood angels

Imperial Fists are the only Legion other than the Blood Angels which the Assault Cannons are available to.

Edit: I missed the joke

On the one hand, yay! assault cannons!

On the other hand, yay... resin ammo feed bending. What a pain!

I find a hair dryer makes that a breeze, just glue one side of the feed, heat once to get it fitted, heat second time to let it relax into a more natural curve.

Dunking them in boiling water works really well too. Takes about 3-4 seconds for the whole thing to go soft.

The blow dryer technique works well. I just used it on my domitar-ferrum.

Story of my life, amirite?

Those shields and Assault cannons look fantastic. I think I will be needing to get a set of each and two Cataphractii Terminators squads to arm them with. Too bad they didn't release them for Tartaros.

Well, thankfully Tartaros can't take Vigil shields anyhow.

Damn, you're right. That is stupid! Oh well, I can get some Cataphractii to put them on though. That also doesn't excuse the Assault Cannons.

Well if tartaros could either shields should be differently priced for armours, notably, or there would be no reason for cataphractii with shield.

Damn... I saw the picture before the words and expected a Fires Of Cyraxus teaser... that must say something about me.

I'm surprised it took this long to sell out honestly. I ordered mine as soon as I could as I was worried about it selling out. I've been waiting so long for it I didn't want to wait again!

Reaper Autocannons are still Heavy 4 Twin-Linked in 30k, right? What do these have going for them beyond basic Assault Cannons?

Heavy 2 Twin-Linked. The fact they will hit more often and are higher strength is the trade off for lower strength, rending, and a minimal chance of failure on the Assault Cannon.

And a longer range, if memory serves?

Also, considering myself lucky my copy of Inferno despatched yesterday, about four hours before they confirmed it was sold out!

Indeed. 48" Autocannons vs. 24" Assault Cannons.

Inferno has some things I want (Custodes and Sisters of Silence) but that is about it. I am waiting for the Angels book.

Ooh, Adepticon is coming up. Hopefully there's some info on Fires Of Cyraxus. It's been nearly a year since it was announced.

Yes, that they pulped the entire print run because they needed to make more paper for the super-fast-selling Inferno.

Speaking of which....flatmate has confirmed delivery.

So from around 6:30ish, depending on traffic, I'll be the reading equivalent of conkers deep on that book!

Very tempted by a smol Sisters of Silence force. That transport!

BURN. EVERYTHING. We shall ensure Fires sells faster than Inferno!

Taghmata update is interesting.

Peltasts can have a free weapon swap to Rad Carbines - which means I can now field my Vanguard Skitarii in Heresy. Which is nice,

Hooray! That means I now have... some amount of points of Taghmata! Plus actual Peltasts and Hoplites.

In Inferno.

I'm getting more and more annoyed with GW's and FW's stocking policies, how can they possible underestimate how many books they'd need but these amounts? Not only that but they are doing this with so many items to create artificial scarcity its really getting irritating. I wanted some of the Iron warrior dice, but thought I'd wait until inferno got released to not get gouged on shipping twice, but now now the IW dice are no longer even listed and most of the other dice have sold out as well. And now the book is sold out (although temporarily, but with GW you never know).

Cause storing stock costs money.

As said, it's in Inferno, right up the back.
