I was hoping for an alternate head for Erebus:

Spoiler:

Horus rips his face off at the end of Fear to Tread. Can't remember if it healed in subsequent novels, though.

To answer that:

About Erebus: WIP model looks more like a generic marine than a novel character.

Gotta stand up for the final version. Much more interesting than the WIP. And he looks like a fanatic. The WIP could be anyone, the final is clearly a unique personality. Not having read the books, I don't really care if it is "right" for the fluff. And the claws are great.

While I prefer the WIP head, I feel that the completed model is much better overall.

In Vulkan Lives! his face is growing back more deamon like thanks to his dark pacts

I thought it was common for word bearers to cut the flesh off of their bodies and graft it on to each other. They would write scripture and pass it along.

Well, common for 40k, but it hasn't happened yet in 30k. Maybe this will be the start of it.

Any ideas on when the Riptide+ is getting released guys? I need another one but am holding off on the GW model in case it's released in the near future

Considering th HH bundles are still available, not likely. I'd imagine they'll make these periodical, with new models getting longer-lasting bundles, I don't see the Castellax bundle on there, for instance.

When can we expect to see a lot of these models they showed at Gamesday? By the end of the year?

More likely February or March.

This comes from someone over at BoLS, but they seemed fairly confident...



I'm aware that that's still missing out on a lot, but at least some stuff is there. (And I'll admit, I sort of stopped at Night Raptors out xmas, did a little dance, and ignored most of the rest of the list.)

Gosh, I hope so, I want ALL THE IRON HANDS.

haha yea I specifically looking for when the World Eater Red Butchers will be released but it looks like I'll just have to wait and see

That's exactly what will happen. From the comments:

I don't understand why they messed Kor Phaeron design; he looked much better in the WD preview:



Every change they did was for the worse. Face, the claws and the details of the armour were all better in the preliminary version.

Definitely agree the one in WD was better but still loving it, just wish I could get it on it's own!

I love the new Kor Modle over all then the WIP, I have to acrss the WIP had a better face. The design video kinda explains why they made the change thow, was to make his face look less astartes to match his background.

So since their are some people out their now have book two in their hands, is their any new Emperor's Children Characters? Julius Kaesoron has been one of my favourite characters from the HH books.

You will be very happy then, as he is indeed in the new book.

aw man, I can't wait for them to make a model for that Bacon Faced freak!
=D

What sort of Mechanicus stuff is in this new book?

from B+C

Mechanicum:
Castellax Robots
Atomantic Shielding
Cybernetica Cortex
Reactor Blast
Rage
Mauler Pattern Bolter Cannon (you'll like this)
S6 AP3 Heavy3, Pinning

The
whole Mechanicum section has a lot of special rules and wargear options
it looks a hell of a lot more expanded than the one in Betrayal.

The
Magos Dominus has some funky special rules to do with taking a
leadership test in the shooting phase and applying modifiers depending
what "power" you want to use, it even has a little "perils" table
Warlord Traits:
1. Master of Mechanisms
Select 1 MC, Vehicle Squadron with at least AV12+
They get It Will Not Die

2. Perfected Targetting
Pick any one heavy weapon in 6" (including in the warlord) it gets to be twin-linked this turn

3. Predictive Augury
Warlord and his unit hit on 5+ for overwatch

4. The Death of Flesh
Preferred Enemy (Infantry - All Types) within 3" of an objective for all units I the detatchment

5. Dread Rites
Causes Fear, immune to fear and Adamantium Will

6. Battlefield Analysis
-1 to a piece of terrain's cover save in the enemy employment zone


Myrmidons of different types and weaponry
Thallax from Betrayal book
Castellax
Magus Dominus
No idea on transports or anything above and beyond

From what i can hear the builds and buffs on offer are huge so you can focus on melee, firepower or a combination. I was waiting for the ad mech list to appear before building a heresy force and im glad i have. roll on the 18th when my book comes

Someone spotted something interesting elsewhere, in the new book.

On page 264, it states that Legio Cybernetica Battle Automata of any kind can be taken with "a Space Marine Crusade Legion army, Imperial army or Rogue Trader Militant Army"...

That seems like it could be interesting. Don't know too much about the whole Rogue Trader thing, but could that be an additional supplemental army like thing they release with the Legion lists?

Interesting. A rogue trader army list in the future? Havent seen anything like that since.... rogue trader. i wonder how they will compare.

Unknown, but one thing is certain...

...they will be awesome!

More than even, I really want them to go a bit further back, and whip up a book or two on The Great Crusade, with lots of interesting Xenos to fight...

According to a FW newsflash, the HH book is now on preorder for all.

It shows the contents, and also has the list of updated (I think) bundles, which was probably the main point of the newsletter.

If they did a 2-3 book set that was just titled, "Ullanor" I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

What, what , WHAT? Is this real? FW, stop making those stupid Primarchs and whatnot, and produce this Rogue Trader stuff NOW! I need this!

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/TAU_XV107_R_VARNA_BATTLESUIT.html

Forgeworld released the XV107 R'Varna today along with some experimental rules for it.

The model is beautiful, but as a Tyranid Player, those guns scare me...a lot...especially considering it gets 2 and can potentially fire them both twice
