If you can assault out of it the turn it arrives by DS then I'll buy three or four of them!

Based on the size and cost of the super drop pod, I guess that it is a new lord of war. If that is the case, it's probably going to have some pretty cool abilities.

I realy hope we don't have to wait tomuch longer for normal Dreadclaws.

when they had the original mock up model at the HH weekender they mentioned lots about them landing on buildings and literally crushing and burning them with the magna melta on landing.

Perhaps something to sit on those pesky AV15 buildings?

This is kinda cool, but it look foreword to seeing a new DreadClaw. (Witch will infact be sized more like the plastic drop pod.)

The normal DreadClaw is a Assault vheclie. So I suspect that yes, you can assault out of the super dreadclaw too.

I imagine they will do the same thing they did with the Dreadnought Drop Pod, make it an assault vehicle so you can assault out of it, and still not allow you to assault the turn it arrives; but also not require you to disembark when it comes in, so you use the pod as a bunker for 1 turn then assault out of it.

I imagine it will come in one turn, obliterate everything around it in a storm of fire, then the models inside will disembark and assault the turn after. I think they even said this was the case back at the Weekender, but they may have changed it since then.

Its not a drop pod. Its a flier with hoover mode. Because its a silly vhecile like that.

It flies, meltas, and vacuums?? It does everything!

Auto correct on cell phones is a great invention! It never creates strange sentences like that! XD

Forge World added this image recently:

Looks like the kitchen sink pod might be based off of the larger dread drop pod instead. Thanks for the updated pic.

Yeah, I figured it was a typo but the inadvertently ironic silly reference made it irresistible!

My guestimate for the new Dreadclaws and updated rules for them, would be once they release the re-edition of IA Vraks, it would be a good occasion, as i don't see FW making a new IA book with Chaos in it( since they also delcared that for the moment they focus on HH and IA reeditions).

Lets just hope they got rid of the AR slot, became a full dedicated transport, and are still an assault Flyer.

Maybe with the Guard codex, could see re-done traitor Guard, Siege Regiment (The pdf update is extremely bare bones), and re-releases of withdrawn models to coincide.

Just noticed that the new Grave Wardens don't come with DG Cataphratii shoulder pads. This means I have to shell out another £9 which is a shame. But I need them!!

Problem is the shoulder pads coming with the Grave Wardens seem to be specifically for these models, yet they have no DG symbols on it. Really dislike that ...

That is not necessarily bad though. Some groups within the Legions(and Chapters to a lesser extent) have/had their own specific symbols. The Dark Angels have different iconography for the Ravenwing and Deathwing for example.

So its been a while since the experimental rules have come out for the R'varna. What do you think is going to happen? Will it get 40k approved? What do you think about the rules for it so far?

Personally I think that since Tau did not do very well with the release of Escalation, I think that it would be fair for the R'varna to come into the game, it just needs to be toned down a little. What do you think?

I want to have a Chimera variant of this to be used as an Inquisitorial Chimera.

Does anyone know if the IA2+Badab book combo was a limited thing? I tried to buy it but my Mastercard debit card wouldn't work. And now the damn thing is out of stock. It is a hell of deal (in FW terms) and I'm going to be quite upset if I missed it.

Any other US buyers have problems with using their cards on the FW site?

I did have a problem with one of my cards not working. Both were mastercard, but I can't remember if it was my debit or credit that didn't work.

The Forgeworld site says you need a credit card if your outside the UK

"If you're ordering from outside the UK we can only accept Visa and Mastercard credit card payments,

but if you're a UK customer we can also accept Maestro and Visa debit cards. You can send an order to us by post enclosing a cheque made payable to Games Workshop Ltd to cover payment, and if your order is over £300 in value we can also accept a direct bank transfer. For more details on this payment method please contact the Customer Service team."

(not that it helps but it at least explains why your debit card didn't work)

My visa debit card works for fw.

i tried to place an order last week with a mastercard and it got declined, switched to visa and it was fine

I've had problems before. When I contacted my bank(card was a Visa) they informed me that most banks put holds/cancellations on charges like that because there is a lot of credit card fraud originating in the UK.

That's what my bank told me...

I only have a debit card (MC), and it never goes thru.

I can't wait for the updated Dreadclaw model and rules!

Typically, your bank will allow it to go through via debit card (if it is a MC or Visa) if you call them before hand. The last time I did an order I used my debit card, I had to jump through some hoops for the bank, but I got it done in the end.

OK, I was navigating through the FW website, and I noticed there is now an Iron warriors section (currently empty). I don't think it has been up for long.
Does this mean an Iron warriors kit is next?

That would be a good guess, esp. since they just released the legion Basilisk that's always been associated with the IW's

That just made my day since I now have 1850 in heresy iron warriors from FW. time to start giving it more character.
