Well, all that stuff I said before makes even less sense
The Cover art looks so badass...
Dammit, mind racing at 1000 mph with lots of idea for the new year...
Hmm... bit off topic, but if Ventock did write this dex, then it would be unlikely that he is writing/wrote the new Daemon book rumored to be released in Febuary?

Jeremy Vetock - Games Designer
Jeremy joined Games Workshop in 1990 where he worked on White Dwarf and the Games Workshop website before moving to join the Design Studio in 2004. He has worked on the hobby team, done a stint as manager (don't worry, he's better now), and is now part of the Games Development team where his bad dice rolling skills are said to rival even those of Master Jervis Johnson. A lover of complex, ongoing campaigns and random weapon malfunctions charts, Jeremy has worked on the War of the Ring, Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 rulebooks as well as many army books as he can get his hands on (notably Skaven, Orcs & Goblins and Ogres). He freely admits that any of the bits you like, he probably wrote, while the stuff you found questionable was from 'some other guy'. Ask him about rule concepts or background, but don't get him talking about his own armies or he'll never stop.
Yay, someone new... Vetock was rumored to be on DA and daemons (both systems). Maybe the ward-derp will die down for a bit and we can start all new craziness.

We can only hope...
It looks like the Deathwing command box makes 3 things, if the smaller pictures on the box show the alternate unit.
Guessing Command, Normal and Knight varients?

He mentioned in the video want things to work for competitive play, so it can't be all bad.
As in he has a sense that the codex does not operate in a vacuum and therefore should be somewhat beholden to the concept of a balanced army codex that doesn't disrupt the gaming world?
The terms look like command, knights and a guy with a cyclone. Land speeder looks a bit less dumb from a different angle. Banne bearer online only.

The new Land Speeder looks terrible, the Storm Talon is an improvement though. GW is now doing what everyone else is and trying to make that ugly bird look passable.

V-tec just kicked in yo.
In all seriousness; however, I am relieved its not ward, happy its not Gavin Thorpe, and hopeful that it is as good as the skaveb codex so many of my friends like.
Agreed with most others about the popemobile though. Less than attractive.
The Dark Talon could have been decent, if it hadn't been based on the Storm Talon chassis. GW shot themselves in the foot by making it instead of a vehicle with a proper fuselage.
The concept for the Land Speeder could also have worked, but the forward placement of the assault cannon (and GW's continued insistence on making assault cannons look stupid) destroys any chance of that.

That flyer beats the piss out of the stormguppy...
but I'm not sure what they were smiling when they designed that speeder. Maybe there is a new policy that every new release gets an awkward messed up design.

Gav???
He doesn't work for the design studio any more. He just does BL stuff. He should be with us writing fluff for the 40KRPG's like Andy Hoare is. Always did like Gav's fluff. Even the fluff in his abysmal 'Chaos' Codex was great fun.
And that cover is bad-ass!
