Jesus, well those rules will sell that model....

Blimey that's an ugly paint job! I don't mean in the technical sense either, just garish as hell

Lovely model though, can't wait to see what people do with it. Tau have a great range, quite tempting to start them up, really.

Yeah that's just what I was thinking reading through them now, T7 2+/4++(5++ in combat), and in a slot that won't compete with riptides. That's without talking about the rest of it.

Extra Toughness, extra wound, better invul, and the ability to fire 4(on a 3+) St6 AP3 5" blasts that hit multiple times on big baddies.....All for 80pts over the standard model kids....

Is it me, or is it missing the Jet Pack rule...?

Wait, it's SUPPOSED to be less mobile. My bad.

any thoughts on the krieg bundles? i've still got 3 x infantry platoons to paint up and the 'add to basket' keeps seducing me to click her.

i'd prefer a choice on the tanks as well - the time i field 3 LRBTs is a long way away as i prefer thunderers but the choice of turrets would be a better option.

still, any discount is a bonus!

Where's the bundle at? I bought a squad yesterday and I need more, starting to feel like I made a booboo.

I noticed this on the newsletter:

Forge World Newsletter #367 wrote:Games Workshop Edinburgh: 25th Birthday Celebration
Forge World will be attending the 25th Birthday celebration at the Games Workshop Edinburgh store on Saturday 2nd November. If you would like to place a reservation order for this event, you have until midday on Monday 21st October. Click here to find out how to place a reservation order. We will be taking a limitied supply of stock but any orders placed at the event will receive free shipping.

How long have FW been attending these events. It may actually give people a reason to go to them (brings back memories of the Grand Openings where you got discounts and the queues went on down the street...)

The bundles are the top 7 here. Seems to be a 10ish% discount. Infantry platoon (the £263 one) is the only one with free shipping.

IIRC all orders get free shipping if you buy a total of £250 or more.

Yup, if you buy more than 250GBP it's free shipping for the order, this is how a lot of DCMs get their FW crack.

Ah. Thought it was £300.

Death Korps Bundle? Saves ~$60? wah, I, sofhfda

*incoherent drooling sounds*

Between not paying shipping and the discount, I'd actually save money after customs and UPS fees.

I get this weird feeling that the AdMech list is going to get bigger and bigger with each book in this series; not that there's anything wrong with that.

And since the Tyranids haven't eaten them yet, we might even see Squats before it is all over!

Especially if you look the difference between the first and second lists.

Trial rules for the Fire-Raptor.


Dig the BA options, nice to see some variety.

I almost thought every Power Armour army was going to get it, but not quite. Still, with the model itself looking pretty cool and the rules not too horrible (he says without knowing anything about whether or not they're good) I'll probably nab a couple when the time comes.

Will be interesting to see if the Keeper of the Relics rule will show up with other Heresy Era beasts.

strafing run ability and everything is twin linked :(

Anything not 3+ is in a world of hurt - like my frigging thallax :(

My only complaint is it doesn't have the missile launcher from the storm eagle. This is gunboat and that missile launcher would have fit in perfectly.

Is anyone able to tell me where to look for Hellstrike Missile rules? I own both HH books and I could've sworn I haven't seen anything about them, but I could be mistaken.

IG codex has them, as well as several other FW books with fliers that use them.

S8 AP3 Ordnance, no blast or anything.

That was the stated plan from gduk, a bit more ad mech in each book so that by the time they get to Mars they have a full ad mech list and can concentrate extensively on dark mech.

Just when I thought my four riptide 2k list was awesome and couldn't get any better....looks like i'll need to expand to 5 riptides. That thing is nasty!

IOW, utterly useless because they make everything else BS 1. The fact that FW keeps putting hellstrike missiles on stuff as if they're a relevant weapon (and even expecting you to pay points for the privilege of having them) is clear proof that none of their rule authors actually play the game.

They are probably thinking Flyers work like Super-heavy flyers which aren't affected by Ordnance penalties.

Also..
Compare to the Avenger Strike Fighter at 150 pts naked, which only has AV12 on the front, BS3 and has to pay a lot for the weapons. And only 2 HP and can't hover.

The FireRaptor is a pretty good deal for 220 points for the amount of firepower and the ability to fire at 3 targets.

Slapping Strafing Run onto stuff is also the new FW thing.. do we really need such high BS flyers?

Oh, absolutely. If they were the missiles on the SM stormraven (S8 AP2 no ordnance) it would be infinitely better. Maybe too good.

My point exactly. They clearly don't play the game if they think it works that way.

I just realized it has PotMS, meaning the missiles can still be of limited use.

Actually, the more I put all the rules together, it can fire everything every turn, though only one missile.

Shoot single ordnance missile, then PotMS the Bolt cannon, and the rules for the independent turret side guns means they can always fire and don't count towards the total number of weapons fired, so long as the vehicle is eligible to fire anything, which it is. To boot, you can shoot at four different targets too; declare the missile at target A, then PotMS at target B with the bolt cannon, then shoot the turrets at targets C and D.

This thing keeps sounding better and better.
