Hey Peregrine you do realise that DKoK are just cheap and nasty knock offs of the far superior Steel Legion. You know that yeah?

**ace101**

I hope with this new spotlight they do Cadians with carapace armor. Since the axing of the Kaskrins i just want some generic carapace dudes as vet allies for my BRs.

Just as long as it's not more DKoK. Change it up a bit FW. Change it up.

Heresy. MORE DKOK.

I wouldn't expect anything though. The picture is just an old one from IA12, and there was nothing even hinted at during their open day recently. We might get updates to match the new codex, but it's probably just a "look, we make IG models too!" banner.

Yes, DKOK NEED a 4th set of basic guardsmen (maybe relaxing, playing cards and eating meals?) and some more commissars. Meanwhile Elysians can do just fine without model options for officers beyond a power fist. Or a commissar with a grav chute (better use those resources for another Krieg commissar!) or carapace armored troops. Nope. Krieg need all the love.

I think the Guard ad is just to capitalize on the new codex released. And hopefully an update for IA1 Vol 2. That book lasted all of a year before being out of date...

**TyraelVladinhurst**

God, i do hope FW do make imperial army because i want my imperial army rhinos, land raiders, land speeders, bikes, and jetbikes.....as well as REGULAR marine jetbikes (AKA the Bullock jetbike)

Yeah it isn't him, I've got that one, its way less ambiguous than cincy indicated... basically

Actually this is a great idea. I'd love some nice diorama pieces for my DKoK, my bunkers and flyer scenic bases always need interesting guardsmen for decoration.

**God In Action**

It's silly for anyone to expect anything other than more DKoK. Didn't you hear? In the grim, dark future, there is only krieg!

Yeah, but their gasmask also feeds them all the food and water they need and playing cards is for heretics, so the ''relaxing Kriegsmen'' really are just a mix of all three previous squads.

It is almost certainly a named character from HH:3, hq for the Taghmata Omnissiah army list. And, not that suprising, an MC.

I guess it -could- be a generic model but the description and wargear of the character matches that model perfectly.

It's probly both a Generic and named charater actully.

This guy is the modle you use for the named guy in the book1 ad mec list, but is now a generic charater modle you just use.

Er, the Named character in Book 1 has completely different wargear to this model- this is just a generic Magi with an abeyant and rad cleanser- the art work on the page for Calleb Decima in book 1 very closely matches the old titan techpriest model that FW still sells and the wargear matches too, so I reckon this dude is the model that represents the named character:

**Commander_Farsight**

I have a question about 30k. I have heard that its a thing, but haven't been able to find anything about it. If I'm posting in the wrong place, let me know, just looking for a quick answer.

**Kanluwen**

It's the Horus Heresy.

I'm also waiting for the Bullock. Not a fan of the Scimitar. The most logical time to release more Jetbikes would probably be alongside the White Scars though.

Glad I'm not the only one who isn't a fan of the d!ck-bikes. I look at them up close and they're well designed, but the minute back up and look at the whole its phallic shape overshadows everything else.

**STC_LogisEngine**

Hah! I say that's your dirty mind who does the phallic interpretation.

I kind of like the Scimitar-pattern, very art-deco inspired and mostly reminiscient of the late-generation, high-end steam locomotives, but I guess that to some things that are more aerodynamic and not shaped like a flying snow-plow is not to everyone's taste. The only beef I have with them is the rules, they really, really need 2 wounds, perhaps an interesting USR and a bump in in points to better represent that (quite large) awsome model.

Spoiler:

The SW champion thinks he has killed him, but he rocks up at the very end and the SW goes "Impossible! I slayed you!" before Alphy (or another bugger who looks like him!) shoots the fether and the Alpha Legion they all fly away in a Space Wolves ship

That's why I said he killed alpharius and is then killed by alpharius, c'mon people...it wasn't hard to work out that it's not the real alpharius ... There is no real alpharius and they are all the real alpharius.

**Alpharius**

What you actually said was:

..there is also a space wolves assassination sqaud sent to "watch" each of the primarchs incase they rebel upon hearing the news of prospero being destroyed, these were also sent to ultramar and received a cold welcome from guiliman, another sent to the alpha legion and that ended with the death of alpharius, alpharius then hunts down the assassination sqaud and kills them off.

So, yeah, whatever!

Thanks for quoting that and proving my point

, cos if they dun killed alpharius... How did alpharius hunt them down and kill them....dum dum duuuuuuuuuuum

...unless... It wasn't alpharius at all....

Hoe dare I expect people to work something really really obvious out.. I'm a cad

**Alpharius**

Relax a bit, maybe?

OBVIOUSLY they aren't going to kill off a Primarch in a dinky audio drama that almost no one will ever listen to!

If everybody is Alpharius, then everybody can kill Alpharius.

**Alpharius**

As much as I enjoy that meme/joke, it doesn't really apply here.

Kinda.

Sorta.

Anyway, do we know the next big HH series book?

Do we know the order of the next few releases?

**Asmodai Asmodean**

Is it just me or is the plot of the first battle in HH:Extermination kind of terrible? Alpha legion shows up, blows some Mechanicum and Iron Warriors up, then leaves.

**Haighus**

Shuussssh! My copy of Extermination hasn't arrived yet!

Unfortunately....

Well, a much more vague description of the battle of Paramar V showed up way back in WD 109. There are quite a few other battles mentioned in the WD 108-120 range that may appear in other Heresy books.

**STC_LogisEngine**

Well, the primary use of war -is- to kill the enemy in order to steal his gak.

That and the Legion is not a garrison-force, they do not hold territory, so why should they not leave once their primary objective have been met?

Yes, they did leave some loyalist mechanicum and iron warriors alive and Horus was kind of miffed about that, but remember the overall plan of the Legion; get Horus to Terra but ensure that both sides deplete their forces on the way there.

**ausYenLoWang**

Any word on when the Thousand Sons will be making a 30k appearance?

i want/NEED rules to play an army that not as tedious as my current 40k thousand sons army

**STC_LogisEngine**

I think they said this open day that Prospero will be the next book if things go according to plan, appearantly they have some balancing issues with the Custodes, them being a bit to OTT and OP at the moment and that the whole 'all thousand sons are psycic' is a bit tricky since they don't want to give them the GK-treatment with 'brotherhood of psykers' but something that will more accurately reflect the story on the tabletop.

So if things go smoothly, perhaps by gamesday? if they can't get it to work in time we get Calth.

**reds8n**

Of all the reptillian nightmares that inhabit the jungle-shrouded continent of Lustria, Dread Saurians are one of the most feared; an echo of ancient days when huge beasts such as this did battle with the forefathers of dragons for supremacy. Immense creatures, larger than the towering Carnosaur, Dread Saurians are few in number and sacred to the Lizardmen, and the fury of each that prowls the fetid jungles is moderated only by the arcane power of the ceremonial armour that bedecks them. Without this precaution, even the power of the Slann could not hold them in check.

When the winds of magic rise and a great storm draws close, the Slann Mage-priests will stir and chant the ancient rituals of binding, shackling the captive Dread Saurians to their will, while their legendary might is coveted by the sorcerers and wizards of younger races. Let loose upon the battlefield these reptilian monstrosities wreck terrible havoc upon the foe with both their fang-lined jaws and the divine blessing of the Old Ones.
The rules for the Dread Saurian, as well as many great beasts, can be found in Monstrous Arcanum. Designed by Trish Carden, this model is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Thursday 1st May.
