I think I know my next FW purchase! Along with more XV-89s. But I'm gonna want to see the stats before i purchase one ocf.

Is it me or do those arm guns on the new Riptide kit look Necron-ish .

Stats?!? Bah! It's sheer awesomeness! Perhaps this is the "Uber Suit" with twin railguns that was rumored back before the codex was released.

IMHO, this is what the Riptide should have looked like. If the rules are no bueno, I'll just use it as a proxy for my 'Tide with the Ion Accelerator. I just wish I could afford more than one!

NL and WB legion accessories.

I am excited ... cannot wait for the end of September

Only conversion kit I'd really want for the Riptide is a larger head and air intakes that don't look misaligned.

If there is a hierarchy of treachery, then the Word Bearers sit in its highest circle. Once the most devoted and rigorous of warriors, it was not enough that they fell, but they pulled their brother Legions into the abyss with them.

For this fallen Legion, we have created sets of Mk II, Mk III and Mk IV Shoulder Pads as well as door sets for the Land Raider, Mk IIB Land Raider and the Rhino. Designed by Steve Whitehead, these resin accessories are ideal for adding Word Bearers iconography to your infantry and tanks. These sets are available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Monday 30th September. A limited quantity of these kits will be available at Games Day UK, however we are unable to accept reservations for these items.


Even when the Night Lords were counted loyal, their nature and actions were ever questioned. Some argued that they were simply a function of necessity, the monsters needed to drag a barbaric age into the light. Some say that they were a mistake, a misjudgment compounded by circumstance. A few wonder if they were damned from the moment they were born, that they were destined never to be a part of the future they would help create. All such speculation is ultimately pointless; no matter the cause, they are creatures of horror and always were.

The Word Bearers and the Night Lords Legions will be featured in our forthcoming The Horus Heresy Book Two – Massacre. Further details can be found in the Forge World Visual Feed. In our latest video, writer Alan Bligh discusses what you can look forward to in the new book.

Once again laziness with the pads all being the same in each batch. I'm not a sculptor, so I shouldn't complain too much, but as a Business person it just looks bad to me that they do such basic work and tout it as magnificence.

any pauses and screen grabs on rules going on? sevatar!!!

Oh man my wallet is going to feel some pain.

These are the Night Lord abilities I saw in the book:

Talent for Murder: If a unit with this special rule outnumbers the enemy unit in close combat, they get +1 to Wound. Bulky models count as 2 models and Very Bulky models count as 3 models.
Nostraman Blood: All models with this special rule fall back 1" farther than usual. If they become pinned, the controlling player of the unit may choose to have them fall back instead as if they had taken 25% casualties from shooting.
Night Vision: All Night Lords have Night Vision
From the Shadows: All models with this special rule have a 6+ cover save on the first game turn which can be combined with Stealth. If the model has a better cover save then it supersedes the 6+.
Seeds of Dissent: If this army's Warlord is slain, the entire army must take morale tests as if it had taken 25%+ casualties from shooting.

New weapon:

Nostramus Chainglaive: Str+1 AP3, Two-Handed, Melee, Rending

Cost is same as a Power Weapon (strong being better than the Caedare weapons)

Any Night Lord Terminator Squad or Command Squad can Deep Strike for the cost of a plasma gun

Any Night Lords character can cause Fear for 5 points. It's called the Trophies of Judgement

They also have their own Rite of War, which looks like it causes Night Fighting the first turn on a 4+, and they have to take Terror squads as compulsory troop choices. Other units with access to Rhinos can take Drop Pods or Dread Claws.

--------
edit: wow, they are really giving the love to Iron Hands. They are fething stacked in this.

Inviolate Armor Shooting attacks against models with the IH Legion Astarted ability have -1 Strength (aka T5 Tactical squads for 250 points)

Also, Iron Hands can't voluntarily go to ground and must take a LD test in order to Run or Sweeping Advance. (booo hoo)

Rigid Tactics Can't have more jump infantry/bikes/jetbikes than you have infantry units

Aaand a bunch of other stuff, like Praetors having a 40pt upgrade to get a 6+ FNP and a Servo Arm to become a forge father

any info for word bearers?

Isn't the point more that with 30k and Legions that marines aren't as individual as in 40k and Chapters? Equipment and armour is more standardised except for elite units like the Palatine Blades. I could be completely wrong of course but that seems to be where the HH aesthetic is headed. Plain marines, fancy elites.

DAGNABIT! Now I will have to build a Night Lord Army, just so i can have 40 guys running around with chain glaives! Lucky for my I found 3 unopened bottles of "Enchanted Blue" paint in my old paint box.

I just randomly checked the FW Downloads section, and I do believe this is new:
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/S/FWstormblade.pdf

To me, the Stormblade was a rather obvious omission from the newest IA Apoc book.

I really wonder where the rules for the R'varna will be.
I wonder if it will be in downloads

They didn't put any of the Baneblade hull tanks in the new IA:A book. My guess is it was supposed to go in the GW Apocalypse book and was dropped after FW had sent IA:A off to the printers.

sevatar costs 175pts for pure nastiness!

I was hoping to sluff off on buying a HH force, but I now have to buy a NL force to match my 40K force. CRAP!

I was realy hopeing they were going to cover Iron warrioirs in this book, but I guess they are planning on covering them in the 3rd book?

Nice, so if Erebus is a warlord then you can take an allied detachment from Codex: Chaos Daemons! That's very cool. Also like that he has the same "marked by dark fates" ability that Abaddon has.

Interesting look at the work behind the designs.

Erebus and Kor Phaeron look fantastic!

Erebus and Kor Phaeron turned out great...
i'm really impressed with all of the characters, so far...
now i just need to find someone who needs them painted...

cheers
jah

Holy crap. I am canning my Sons of Horus army and going with Night Lords. The rite of war is exactly what I was trying to do with my Sons list but now I can do it with a single detachment. Sweet! Ok already painted squads, back to the Awesome vat with you!

It's getting harder and harder to resist starting a 30k force with the stuff they're putting out, though there's a big part of me looking forward to when the clearly chaos units start appearing to supplement the 40k army. Kakophoni marines will be a definite must when they finally release them.

Wedding cake chapter? With water pistol tanks and thunderhawks with spring loaded missiles. We're giving them ideas here, aren't we?
