**Pilau Rice**

I wish I never got the Black Library versions and just waited for this

**ArbitorIan**

JETBIKES. I saw them I did.

**English Assassin**

And Cataphract Terminators too! Woot!

Aye they did look interesting and was that old terminator marks, and other goodies we caught a glimpse of, like could that superheavy have been a banehammer (or whatever they're called).

**His Master's Voice**

Whoa, nice termies. I think a lot of people were clamouring for those to be made.

**reds8n**

from the email sent out afterwards..

Lavishly decorated, this book is leather-bound with inlaid metal detailing and foil-blocked page edging, and also features metal cleats to the corners of the book’s casing impressed with the Imperial Aquila.

It is a stand-alone supplement for Warhammer 40,000 and contains a vast array of colour profiles, maps and artwork. Also included is a full Space Marine Legion army list and background, histories, character profiles and special rules for the Death Guard, Sons of Horus, World Eaters and Emperor’s Children Legions.

**Taarnak**

Looks pretty cool. I will probably pick it up.

I really liked some of the models in that video.

I hope there will be more illustrations in this one than there are photoshop re-colorings of the marine and vehicle silhouettes. New illustrations for the characters alone would push this over the top into must have territory for many people, I think.

Pretty neat!

Forgeworld Space Marine Jetbike

**aka_mythos**

Points of interest: heresy era terminators, a vindicator with las cannon sponsons, a jetbike, and a sm 2 cannon baneblade. Also a random remake of an RT era communication officer marine.

The rules will emphasize that this is the Legions by providing alternate wargear and unit configurations that dont exist for the chapters.

**Jaeger wulf**

It sounds like bilbo.... But isn't....

**Ignatius-Grulgor**

Also looks like some kind of world eaters land raider proteus with single lascannons and a demolisher cannon.

Edit: aaand everyone else says vindicator which I guess would make sense just thought it was a weird hull choice or are my eyes playing tricks.

**aka_mythos**

My guess is they're doing something more in line with the original Epic interpretation of a Vindicator which was half way between rhino and land raider, and not just a rhino variant.The lascannons are probably just there to further justify a bulkier model.

**Liquidice281**

I cannot wait until the books start rolling out. My preheresy thousand sons will be ready....waiting..

**Zweischneid**

I think the interesting part is that these books are described as an ongoing series and full "third strand" of Forgeworld next to IA Books and Warhammer Forge.

A full-fledged "third" of FW is from now on going to be doing a series consisting essentially of Space Marines!!!!!

**Ignatius-Grulgor**

There's that large tank from 2:43, seeing as it's a bit seperate from the other surprises in the vid.

Don't forget that they mentioned non space marine forces. You have imperial army present, Adeptis Custodes, Sisters of Silence, Assassins, and legion based human armies. Also wouldn't be surprised to see daemons later on in the series.

**aka_mythos**

Well I think the move to doing this series is because they effectively ran out of worthwhile ideas for the present time period. Hopefully having a marine heavy series will improve their willingness for more non-marine armies in Imperial Armor.

**Vampirate of Sartosa**

I sincerely hope that that Fellblade has options that'll allow you to build Broadswords, Lances and Warmauls... *Drools*

**Scottywan82**

LOVE the Terminators. So awesome. Also, strange head on the "comms" World Eater.

**Ketara**

I cleaned up and separated a bunch of photos for the work blocked and for general enjoyment:-

**H.B.M.C.**

Fellblade. Pretty cool.
Jetbike. Nifty.
Strange Land Raider/Vindicator thingy. Interesting.
Per-Heresy Terminators... SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!

My jaw hit the floor when I saw those Termies. Oh my God they're amazing.

**CthuluIsSpy**

So space marines having Jet Bikes is canonical now? I thought that was retconned.
And what happened to all the Jet Bikes?

That Super Heavy with the 2 cannons would make an excellent Apocalypse tank from RA2.
Hmmm lets see...Marines could be Tesla Troopers. It'll be perfect!

When? Heresy-era Jetbikes have been around for a very long time. There's even one in the current timeline.

As to where they went? It's anti-grav tech. It's something the Imperium can hardly manage to do.

**Yodhrin**

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod Cataphract Terminators

Also, they should really just have Alan Bligh do all the promo videos for GW, he's one of the few people they have that doesn't look like a rubber puppet reading from cue-cards when he talks.

**endtransmission**

Now *that* is how you do a teaser trailer that gets people interested! I love the remake of the old RT era comms officer and the jetbike... both will have to be bought for painting!

**whitedragon**

Must have terminators.

**kronk**

As I said when this was hinted at a few months ago...

Between this book and the upcoming Chaos Space Marine book, this will be an expensive fall for me.

**sockwithaticket**

I don't generally have a taste for heresy/pre-heresy stuff (excluding Mk. 4 armour), but those terminators!

I'm interested to see what else they come up with over the course of this series on the strength of these previews.

**Lightcavalier**

I think this is generally the greatest thing I will ever buy from Forgeworld.
