Same with Rough Riders and Psychic Choirs no doubt, got half a squadron of the first and a full squad plus overseer of the latter, with custom Chimera in the works. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

There simply arent enough rumours to sustain a thread on one of the most popular armies in 40k. Wish listing is inevitable and the only way to stop it is to have a locked thread that is updated by a mod. At least this thread hasnt gone as far astray as the last one did.

Teaser for something....

Imperial Knights, House Taranis will rise again!

Yup, the teaser is for something Adeptus Mech-based.
Pity it's not IG, but we'll see on 22/Feb.

When I think that the PP keynote genuinely got me excited about buying Cephalyx models for a game I don't even play, these GW trailers make me cry in frustration. The phrase "What is the point?" screams to mind.

Is it certain about the sentinels being the same regardless of armor or not? That's kind of a bummer for me.

Nothing about the book is certain whatsoever.

Play it. Join us! Join the Warmahorde side. We have cookies^w good rules!

And page five, don't forget that one.

I seem to recall that FFG also introduced a PPsH 41 style assault lasgun with short range and an even higher rate of fire. I think that would be an interesting upgrade to the standard infantry blob.

Like an assault 2 18" lasgun or something? It just seems like it'd be overlapping its role with shotguns an awful lot. I do think shotguns for sergeants would be a neat little upgrade, just character-wise.

I do not understand all the fuss over page 5. I am not even sure what page 5 is about. Something like “Do not be a dick” and “Do not whine” or something.

Umm.... more like Assault 3 or 4 (if I have the math right), but take a pen on BS.

Assault 4 S2 would be interesting.

Welcome to every IG rumor thread ever

I think its safe to say that IG is not until April at the earliest. If the book was coming in March, we would have far more rumors than we have right now.

That's what I have been thinking. If it were in March, we DEFINITELY would have pictures by now.

We are going to have month of this before we start to get "Real" information.
So right now it is SNAFU.

Well GW has been following the 40K, fantasy, 40K pattern for quite some time now haven't they? It would be odd if they would just break that pattern all of a sudden. Maybe if Codex: Tyranids did really poorly.

Okay, I'm slow on the uptake here. I know everything is rumours still, but assuming the rumour-mill is on course here, do I assume that the Guard get their "bigger than a Land Raider tank" as well as this Knight Paladin thing?

Or do we think the tank is going to be a no-show now?

I have heard nothing even remotely credible regarding a new tank for rumors. Closing this is that FW might be "allowed" in the new codex, so we may possibly be allowed to use things like a Macharius or Malchador, though I would really doubt it.

Bugger. This would make me sad. Personally I'd much prefer a new "Ubertank" than a Knight. Seems like Games Workshop got hit in the head and now they think it's 1995 and Epic is back in full swing. A lotta Monstrous Creature walkers coming out.

If only they were for Epic.......

Knights are their own thing that can be allied with various Imperial armies, including IG. They're not part of the IG release. There aren't really many credible rumors on IG right now.

Page 5 is the official authorization by the staff themselves to play "Like you've got a pair" that means full bore no holds bar cheese fest.



The biggest problem is that I enjoy walkers, but their so fragile now with all of the S7/8 shots that they are border line pointless. I can field an entire lascannon formation of 37 guns for my Guard and kill a titan a turn with them. Do you honestly believe your piddly walkers with 4 hull points stands a chance?

Yeah, but I never did that. I only plays a Captain Gunnbjorn fluff theme army. And I do not mean tier list, I really mean that all my trolls have powder weapons : blitzer, bomber, sluggers, burrowers, bushwackers, thumpers…
What is the point of having models and fluff if you end up only caring about the rules ? Might as well play with cards put on bases or something.
And nobody waits for the authorization of the staff to do that anyway.

The Storm Troopers, Salamanders and the plastic Thunderbolt have me interested. I was about to order the FW Thunderbolt, and I might still get it. I like the detail the resin kits have more than the plastic. The Salamanders on the other hand would be piles cheaper (maybe) and the detail most likely won't be much different. I am surprised there is nothing for the big tank Tower75 asked about. The 40k guy at my FLGS said there would be one and has been right about all the rumors i've talked to him about so far. Gaaa... Have to wait another 2-3 months before I know now.

I wish they would bring back the Autogun as an impy primary weapon choice, I think that was 4th edition rulebook you could last take one.

I love the idea of building a real backwater army using propellant weapons with no las or plasma etc, mainly for fluff rather than playing but it would look awesome.

Given there's no difference between an Autogun and a Lasgun, why not do it anyway?

More the effort of tracking down enough autoguns than anything else, with the weapons options you get in a marine squad etc now I couldn't see it being too much difficulty for GW to add a dozen autoguns to a guard squad sprue.

If I did want to play with it though I would like to see the autogun readded to the rule book, personally I would see it as 'assault' rather than rapid fire.

The backwater guard army has been my 'fantasy' army for a long long time, I will do it eventually!
