I'd almost guarantee it'll be a Battle of Calth book. Makes the most sense. Allows them to knock out both the Ultras and Word bearers in a single book. They COULD include the word bearers in a Isstvaan V book, but it would leave the Ultras sorta on their own.

Or they could be in, you know, both. There are some pretty obvious SCs missing from the current book, I would be surprised if each chapter was only in one book each.

Well I guess there is that

Besides, it forces me as an Ultramarines player to buy both books... This is a GW company we're talking about

I never read the entire thing so your opinions are mostly wasted.
I'd prefer a release like death shroud getting their own thread, which I would then read.

Panic...

We tried that before, and it led to a lot of 'clog' in the N&R forum.

It doesn't take too much effort to stay up to date, especially with Dakka's excellent [First Unread] feature!

yeah,
Well we could you know have one thread...
One great big thread for wargaming.

The reason we have one Forge World "Horus Heresy" thread is because of the number of releases that were coming out for them.

Once it hits the max capacity, we will likely see another thread come out.

I think he meant the Word Bearers.

I can't see, at least at this point, the Ultras being in anything beyond the Battle of Calth / Seige of Ultramar books.

And I have to say, as someone about halfway into the Betrayer novel, I certainly hope we see the Legio Audex in the Ultramar one. Warhounds with freaking harpoons?????!?!?!?!?!?!? AWESOME!

I realized that after I posted it, I just haven't been back in this thread since >_<

Pretty much - thanks!

Also, can anyone remember from Games Day whether there were plans to bring out power scythes weapon packs for normal marines? (given that if they were they'll likely be released alongside the DeathShroud).

Well seeing as how Power Scythe's can only be used by Independant Characters after the Deathshroud themselves I'll say the chance of that is minimal. It's possible of course, but I'm not too sure on that one,

Not just independent characters. Any character that can take a power fist can take a power scythe for the same points cost, so that includes squad sergeants.

Yeah, in a Death Guard army basically anything that can take a power fist can take a scythe instead, and I do vaugely remember seeing some pics of scythes from the Games Day, although no idea if they were planned for release.

Justaerin Terminators:



Justaerin Weapons Set:





Emperor's Children Legion Brass Etch:


Legion Mk IV Power Weapon Set:


Not Horus Heresy related, but...
Voss Pattern Lightning Strike Fighter:

That's a very nice set of weapons for any Space Marine player, not just Heresy fans. :-D Do those fancy sabers have a special rule for Heresy armies?

Thems Justaerin are beautiful. I don't think the paint job does them any favours, but they look great.

I've always wondered - ever since the 2nd Ed Space Wolf Codex - why Termies never had Multi-Meltas.

Does that MM work with the standard Cataphractii Termies?

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't, the components breakdown looks identical.

So are they planning on coming out with a legion-specific set of terminators for every legion?

Maybe?

But if they do, I hope my favorites (Raven Guard and Alpha Legion) get Cataphractii, though I doubt the Alphas will.

They'll end up with...Tartaros!

I think they'll aim for a specific legion unit for every legion, they wont all be terminators, but some will.

Anyone unserstand why justearin terminators are so much more expensive point wise than terminators? I'll get at least 10 but I'll probably play them as regular sons of horus cataphracti terminators.

Yes the MM is compatible with standard Cata's but rule-wise it is available to Justaerin ONLY!

They will make a Legion-specific termie unit for the Legions which have them. The Alphas have the Lernaean Terminator Squads if I am correct, but Tartaros seems fitting for the Alphas profile.

Justaerin are more expensive because they have better stats iirc. Only one or two of the stats however, and only by 1.

Wow, really nice terminators and weapons, there.

Ok, if we see Fire Drakes and/or Morlocks I will wet my pants.

Loving that weapon set; veterans here we go!

What are the legion specific things for the Ultramarines?

Man, those axes on the Justaerin Terminators are ugly. Like a la Space Hulk Terminator Librarian ugly.

The Termie-carried Multi-Melta is nice, though! I can see some uses for that.

A somewhat dubious source told me that they get a special legion specific bike squad.

Spoiler:

yay!

but for realz

They'll 'invent' Ultramarine-specific units when their book comes no doubt.
Or they may be elaborated upon in the Calth anthology, Betrayer or Unremembered Empire.
