Man, this may be my inner imperial fist talking but I have to say, I like the look of the new guns that are coming out. Dem guns!

So do you guys like this new stuff? People at my local GW are saying it's just another cash grab, but I genuinely like it!

what do you think?

anyone who says a company putting out new stuff is a "cash grab" is an idiot. all companies want your money.

And this should be multiple choice. I like it, but I had hoped there would be xenos scenery as well.

I haven't seen the guns yet, do you have a link to a picture or something?

It looks stupid, like most of GW's new releases. I might use the rules if they're good enough, but I'm going to make my own models.

Never mind.... Found them. Look alright to me. Better than old in my,opinion.

I like them, especially with fewer dead Cadians on them.

Much too rich for my blood but if they were cheaper... and I had less crap already, yeah I'd buy them.

I loooove the new terrain. The Aquila Strongpoint is just gorgeous.

Love the new terrain, but voted I wish there were xenos terrain. Still happy though.

I like 'em... but yeah, waaaaaaay to expensive.

They look pretty good, but My Blue fishmen wish they had some Buildings to play with.

Looks good. Definitely needs more dead Cadian's though. Most things do.

Oh yes, I love that Aquilla <3

I like them, but I'm a bit miffed that you have to actually buy them to get the rules. This means that you can't just think "I'll have a look at the rules, if it's worth it then I'll get one" so you're forced to buy it to make such a decision, and also prevents people from building their own, such as Xenos equivalents.

I like them, wish they'd done xenos instead, though.
And I wish the price was lower... but 2 Quad Icarus Cannons... dang I want that.


My only problem with them is that they're going to be harder to convert to Chaos than the previous ones... So much Imperial iconography it's not funny...

You could deface it in the name of Chaos... scrape the Aquila up and such. Should look proper.

Yeah, serious missed opportunity to finally give us Xenos players some terrain...

Well, looking at the main point, most of these were designed with Apocalypse in mind. It makes sense for them to take a shortcut, rather than making a whole new FAQ for the current 40k rulebook.

You mean opening the FAQ document, adding in what they typed up to put in the boxes, saving, and posting it? Yeah that's way harder .

I guess that why Warmahordes is such an unpopular game...

/sarcasm

I actually wouldn't mind more models coming with some sort of rules cards, like back with 2nd edition. sometimes it would be nice to not have to lug the book all around..

Hey, no one says that it's a great idea, but it's an idea nonetheless. Besides, there is no rule that says that they have to update the FAQs. Just be glad they decided to give us them for regular 40k games, and they aren't exclusively Apocalypse fortifications. At this point in the game, it's too early to tell what their final decision will be. Most likely, I still see them popping them in the FAQ anyhow.

Yaknow, the rules will probably be in the apocalypse book for the 40k as well.

The rules in the kit are just for preorders, and from that point on WONT be there.

Nope, it says that the Apocalypse Rules for it are in the Apocalypse book.

If you want to use it in regular games of 40K, that's where the rules included in the box jump in.

There is a difference between making a product that is a cash grab and being a company that wants to make cash.

For example, if you make a cannon that is completely overpowered, ruining the game, making everyone need one so that you can compete on who takes out the other guy's cannon first and then devastate the rest of his army, then that's a cash grab.

Of course they wanna make money, but there are smart ways of doing it, and then there are ways where you simply force your playerbase to buy it until they get tired of you.

On topic, I do like the looks, but I guess that's because they fit perfectly with the SoB easthetic.

For anyone that is wondering what it's all about:

Seems they ran out of dead cadians when they built those aquila shaped gun-empacements ...

But yes, I like the new terrain.
Sadly found something that has to go at the firestorm kit.

It's a cash grab, that's for sure, but then so are most things that GW, and many other companies for that matter, release. And, besides, just because it's a cash grab, doesn't mean you can't like it.

I like them, but I would of preffered if they'd kept a consistant theme between the planesrike terrain and this, the planetstrike terrain had a very nice thing going on and wasn't in your face with the skuls and stuff.

I'm a pretty big fan of the IoM aesthetic, but I really wish they'd spice terrain releases up with som non Imperial terrain. Like, any non Imperial terrain.

Needs more dead Krieg!!!

The new stuff looks awesome. At the same time some Xenos stuff wouldn't have hurt either. A giant Orky Kannon type thing would have been pretty neat. Still, not like I can afford it anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me I guess.

Are those new terrains legal for non apo games and I mean the rules , not the models ?
