Edited for correcting the nationality of the blog.

Just saw this in the GD booklet can't wait, love me some IF.

Great stuff, though I don't play them the Imperial Fists are awesome. Given that it is "Sentinels of Terra" and not "Imperial Fists", does anyone else suspect that each of these supplements will be released for a first founding chapter and cover all of their subsequent offshoots, i.e. Supplement "Sentinels of Terra" covers Imperial Fists, Crimson Fists, etc? Seems to be why it isn't just called "Imperial Fists". Would make sense given the Chapter Tactics system and save them having to make ones for big-name successor chapters ala the Crimson Fists.

I like the Imperial fists, but why do they need a supplement? From what I can tell, they're just a standard codex chapter with a distinguished history. They don't have hairy sideburns, or suck blood, or jet black skin, or cruise around on motorbikes all day, or turn traitor when the emperor tells them to start fighting and stop building temples, etc etc

My guess is to be an excuse to add a special character or two, new Warlord Table and that sort of stuff.

Personally I would be happy if the Supplements brought all the founding chapters up the same amount of SCs that the UMs got in the main codex. Pipe dream I know but still!

If GW were smart (I know, I know) they would give the flagging sales of WD a boost by publishing rules/special characters within its pages as standard. I remember the sisters codex WD flying off the shelves, and me stockpiling on it and making profit months later on ebay! Evil laugh!

I expect there might be slight FOC changes as well, maybe allowing the player to take Vindicators in squadrons.

What what what???

Looks like some rumour mongers (or rumour guessers) will get another FALSE.

Wait, what? Is this real? Awesome! And at least it makes more sense than UM supplement.

I'm hoping for Devastators as troops or some other FOC shenanigans to alleviate the crowded HS slot problem.

It's not as though the supplements add much rules anyway. You get 2 pages of rules, 20 pages of painted minis and 20 pages of fluff. Fluff and painted minis they have, and these supplements sell. Sadly.

Well yes, I truly hope they'd have more rules content. While I don't personally much care for special characters, supplements would be an excellent opportunity to add some.

Another picture here as well; no news on contents yet

I'd buy some of these just for the fluff, the Farsight Enclave in particular has some juicy stuff in there.

Awesome!

Might sentinels of Terra refer to the Legions that participated in the defence of Terra against Horus?

I doubt the Blood Angels will get rolled in but this could be a White Scars/Imperial Fists supplement.

Anyone think there might be Crimson Fists in here too?

I am thinking a WS/IF(CF) combo supplement could be very likely. Could also mean we get themed double+ chapter supplements..."Drop Site Brothers" Sally/IH/RG and then a solo Black Templar book?

Of course entirely speculative but I would love to see the WS/IF thing be true.

seeing as I play Imperial Fists and have a preheresy imp fist army this make me mucho happy.

Surprised this wasn't in the White Dwarf. They normally advertise these there don't they? Either way. I like supplements.

The guys are from the 3rd company of the imp fists, so they are following more of a storyline type idea, like with Farsight.

Mission hints at a "Captain Geredon" new SC probably.

What's weird is that Black templars are an Imperial Fists successor, but their modus is drastically different than their founding chapter. "Sentinels of Terra" may be trying to distinguish this as including Imperials Fists and specific successors, but excluding Templars.

One thing about that scenario worries me: they specifically exclude Lysander and Garadon (probably a new IF character); however, no such restriction exist regarding Pedro Kantor. So my horrible suspicion is that somehow contexts of this book are not usable with him to begin with, and thus such restriction was unnecessary.

Well the mission says "Imperial Fists" specifically so I'm willing to bet that they thought that was enough to exclude Kantor.

It's likely Garadon might just be a scenario specific character, like some of those back in Farsight and Iyanden.

this sounds like a scripted scenario, like in the Farsight or Lyanden books. i can see one using Lysander with this supplements army, as well as this new Garadon person (why else would they restrict two people by name from a scenario, not even from the generic army list?)

Yes exactly, but but they didn't exclude Pedro from being used in this scenario. Why?

Obviously.. Pedro is not an Imperial Fist, he is a Crimson Fist.

Except rules-wise there is no difference... At least before this. That exactly is what I'm worried about: that they specifically say IF and CF are different rules-wise and CF can't use this supplement, thus no combining Pedro with these new rules.
