Ihave a feeling it might be the Lord of Battles - this is based on the fact that the free PDF for the old rules is no longer online.

That and it's a very obvious modernization of the original Lord of Battles model from Epic. It just doesn't have the donkey head anymore.

GW still has Apoc datasheets up? I thought all of that stuff was gone... was looking for Spearhead stuff the other day (I came across the WD with that in it when I was organizing my crap) and thought I'd need to hit up the scurvy seas to get everything.

I'm trying to decide if a donkey head would make it look better or worse. I'm going with better, because the head is really the most off-putting part. The groin cannon is goofy but not awful and the skulls everywhere make sense on a Khorne vehicle than in many of the other places they've stuck them.

The monolith looks cool, but at their likely prices I doubt I'll be interested in either.

link to old GW datasheets is in my sig.

I think the Hel/Blood/Skull Knight has potential, if you get rid of torso and codpiece and just use the tracked body with the tanks for something nurgle.

You know what?, you can all go kiss my hairy arse.

This model is nice, for once that they make a Khorne specific model, and not something Slaanesh or Nurgle.

Plus its a perfect start tot make a titan, get rid of the tracks and convert legs like the Decimator, but at his size, and it will be awesome, and the head can be replaced with a...Skull..., its a Khorne machine, what did you expect?...

For once? Khorne always gets models in the update!

Try being a Tzeentch player, Slayer le Boucher, and then you'll know the meaning of pain...

Looks like the majority of them have stopped working now.

.. I guess it's another reason to go the ForgeWorld route?

Yup, they're really the stuff of nightmares! Though forget the Decimator if you want to utilize your points properly...

I think with that level of paint job even crappy models can look amazing. There have been a lot of complaints of the last few new releases and lots of people have changed their minds once seeing it in person.

I am one of these people as now that I have seen a built and posed Wraithknight I don't think its nearly as goofy looking as the white dwarf photos.

That cron stuff looks boss. To bad the chaos stuff looks like a joke. I dare not call it a toy less we have to define what is a toy agien. ..

Hopefully their wikl be more besides what i assume is 2 kits

2500 to 3000 points looks incredibly cramped for space on a standard 6x4 table so I dread to think what it would be like with a whacking great big Titan or Stompa sat on there.

Playing Apocalypse games on a 6x4 is doing it completely wrong. I'd go minimum 8x6 for an Apoc game, and scale up as the game gets bigger.

Apocalypse is also a heck of a lot of fun...as long as you can keep TFG out of it.

Uh, what? For once? Khorne, their default chaos cult?

Looking at the Khornate Super Heavy some more and to me it looks like an amalgamation of 3 different Epic models. You have the Lord of Battle, DeathDealer and Cauldron of Blood rolled into one Super Heavy. All of the BloodCrusher heads look like they have a nozzle/barrel in their mouths. So this is what I think it will be.

AV 14/13/11 WS)4, BS)3, 5++, DTW on a 4+, IWND, Demon, Siege Crawler.
Demolisher cannon (Belly Gun), S5 ap4 Heavy 8 (maybe 16) arm gun, Then either torrent flamer template s4 ap3 or a apoc template with 360 arc of fire (non torrenting) s5 ap3.

Just my guess.

Tell me when was the last time a Khorne specific machine was released from GW?...

i'm really curious..., the only Khorne specific Super Heavy is the Greater Scorpion, and thats it.

All the other Super heavys have no distinct alligance, be it the Reaver or the Warhound.

The Lesser scorpions?, DIY conversions, Tower of Skulls DIY conversion...

This is the first real Khorne Super Heavy machine GW ( not FW) did, and for once i'm Happy with that.

That model.. is.. hopefully not what they spent money on instead of making things people want like warhounds and thunderhawks?

Also can the OP please fix their title.. What in the world is a reedition? :p

I played fantasy when the last Apocalypse happened.

Were stompas and baneblades "officially" allowed in normal 40k games?

I wouldn't be surprised if GW lets them in now. Anything to make sure they sell more.

At what point did they release anything Super-Heavy for the Nurgle and Slaanesh armies you cited as getting more love from GW? Khorne has always been the studio's go-to chaos cult.

Show me the Slaaneshi stuff?

You claim GW makes too much Slaaneshi stuff, where is it?

Forgeworld?

Where?

Khorne and Nurgle get all the love, always have. Slaanesh gets less than Tzeentch. Last in line for any bloody thing.

You are talking absolute rubbish.

New LoB looks cool. 40k has always been OTT in this way ... easy to forget if one starts taking "grimdark" seriously.

I propose whoever designed that abomination should sacrifice himself as a penance to the dark gods (IMHO )

Khorne at least has *a* superheavy model specific to it (the Scorpion), only Nurgle has rules for another (and is really a bastardized IG tank kit), Slaanesh and Tzeentch don't have superheavy vehicle models IIRC.

I don't think that that is 2 different monoliths, as the OP suggests...Looks to me like you just get to choose how you want to model it. AKA: take up an entire room, or just half

The cynical part of me says that they are counting on people wanting to build both configurations, which will add to sales.

Also can the OP please fix their title.. What in the world is a reedition? :p

Thanks for saying what I've been thinking since I first saw this thread. It definitely (note the correct spelling of "definitely") needs to have the nonsense word "reedition" removed or replaced. It's babble.

Interestingly, I saw the Thunderhawk rumor come up again this week related to this latest White Dwarf photo leak for Apocalypse. I'd like to keep dreaming about that one, but there's so far been little to validate that such a thing exists.

Someone thought that was two different models? Hilarious. It's clearly one kit modeled in an "open" and "closed" configuration.

The Skull Cannon of Khorne for Daemons just a few months ago....

Sadly I'm in the not impressed camp for the chaos engine.
The necron one doesn't seem too bad, but something that large on top of a flying stand? I'll wait for better pictures on that.

I would laugh hysterically if these turned out to be usable in regular 40k. It almost would not surprise at this point.

Just thinking of how people would react if Necrons got faq'd to have a AV14 flyer is hilarious.
