i just linked the whole product descrip. was easier. Meh still havnt slept. I know That part was in the codex already. I was talking about the customization options.

I've been collecting chaos models for the past 8 years now, and I am in no way finished with my army... I look forward to any codex/supplements I can actually use (instead of every other Loyalist/Xenos book that wastes a month of my time) and create a new list to use with the scraps of Models I don't utilize in my primary list.

Maybe that is what these books are really for.

Lets face it, if this is all we are getting, there's gonna be about 6-8 months of nothing for us in the future...

Thank you GW cann I haves sum moore?

Yeah, I'm late to the party but seriously, another separate rule book/Codex?

I now feel like death in the following:

Meh. They're entirely optional and don't actually contain a whole lot of rules, so i personally don't see them as a big issue. I actually wish they would make more, with perhaps a little bit more rules in them. But that's just my opinion.

But they're not optional because people can take them. Sure, it's optional for me to buy them but all of these dataslates and mini-dexes are official, legal rules. Options are good but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the sheer volume of tiny add-ons coming out that I'll know nothing about in a pick-up game. I'll try to make an all-comer's list but won't be ready for some of this stuff. Before, I just had to know my codex and the basic rules but now we're getting things that break the basic rules or circumvent force orgs. Sure there were things like that before but they didn't come out weekly; I could just ask to see my opponent's codex and we'd move on. Now it's going to be, "Here's my codex, here's the dataslate for this thing, the dataslate for this other thing and the min-dex for this third thing..."

Tau codex, Farsight codex, riptide formation dataslate, allied to IG with a Knight tacked on... ick.

Well duh, they don't hire people to go through every Terminator Lord kit, cut out the bits that might be used for Sorcerer models, and sell you the incomplete sprues.

Hmmm, a new codex for a new faction/army. I'll hold off any "nays" or "yeas" until i see it. Been wanting to look at the new supplement codices, ie. Black Legion, Sent. of Terra, for my idea of what kind of SM and CSM I have in mind. Maybe this one will be what I am looking for my Red Corsairs. One thing though, GW is moving new codices fast. If these new ones I don't want, GW will be out with a new codex soon.

You know at first I was pretty pissed off about Crimson Slaughter and but after hearing about the bonuses possessed get and some of new relics I'm kinda thinking of allying in a small force for fun, I've got some possessed I'll toss in some Warp Talons and a beefed out lord (apparently they've got a weapon that gets stronger as you gank people)

I mean it's not going to win a tournament but it might be a fun albeit expensive distraction to toss at some people.

Wow, rumors are up for a new IG supplement already...

Looks like this is all we get boys.

*walks towards the ocean*

I shouldn't panic too much. The IG are listed for release on the 5th April, so still 2-3 weeks (depending on whether we've seen the first/second wave) of potential chaos.

I am midly disappointed they have a new chaos terminator box and chaos space marines box. Literally, the box. Not the contents. CSMs are slightly more expensive now, too. It's actually cheaper to get 10 Khorne Berzerkers now.

Reason I'm disappointed is it means we're not going to get a new updated kit for them after all. Still hope for some official Chosen models though... here's holding out hope.

I doubt they'd release the "secondary" codex before the real Astra Militarum codex though, and didn't it say that there was more knightly goodness next week?

well with dwarves week 1 was kits,

then the codex in week 2

so it's not impossible the main AM (rolling with the new name) might be the week after this mini me version

That new HELBRUTE is wicked awesome!!

Wait, how do we have this, and yet no leaks of the rumored Chaos Chosen?

Crap. Could those rumors have been totally off? This WD says the products will be available for pre-order on the 29th.

So.. We got this weekend of the 7th with the Helbrute pre-orders...
Then next weekend will be the 15th, presumably with Chosen preorders...
Then after that is the 22nd, which I suspect would be Astra Miltarum preorders...
And finally should be the 29th, which are the Militarum Tempestus pre-orders...

Right? That should be how it goes... right?

Because they don't exist.

But then if thats true. Why not list the contents As 5 Raptors Or Warp talons.. instead of 5 raptors.. and why not say 1 Term lord Or 1 Term sorceror instead of just saying lord. Also the Forgefiend. just says Forgefiend so is that going to actually be all the sprues and actually be a maulerfeind Too, Or is it 'exactly what it says on the tin' to quote a certain wood sealant ad.
If it is Just what is decribed and nothing more, that Would certainly give them an excuse and a reason for why they will box these together and slightly cheaper than the seperate box sets.

*sigh*

Have you seen those sprues? Go take a look:

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440211a&prodId=prod1710090a

They aren't really something you can just "split up" like that, and I seriously doubt that GW would re-cut the sprues this soon after releasing the kit for the first time.

Hell, if it really is all there thats great, I guess im just paranoid with this being GW 'Money Grabbers Extraordinaires'.

You're splitting hairs.

The kits come as the kits are. To do something else would require someone to purposefully clip the parts of the sprue (not going to happen) or for them to make a new mould (also not going to happen).

Come on Chosen/Havoc kit....come on Chosen/Havoc kit.....don't mind me. Just praying to the dark gods.

So according to rumors of the new chart for Possessed they changed it to before Movement Phase and not before Fight phase?

Movement options are cool, but then we are stuck with their Standard profile in CC? I'm hoping there's something missing here.

But on a side note, I've just developed my own (quite literal) "Forsaken", and took a bunch of un-used/broken Marine models out of the collection to convert up into my Possessed! Narrative: FORGED!

I really like the conversions they've got going on for regular CSM in this weeks WD.

The back cover is actually very nice too. Kind of shows the uniformity of the new Chaos models, which is nice. Leaves things like the current CSM & Terminators (as well as Legion stuff) in the dust a bit though.

So your saying that there is new CSM models? Or converted?

And I love how CSMs don't get love

Conversions would be the hint there mate...

We can't store published white dwarf pictures on Dakka can we?

I'll get them scanned up and store them somewhere else. Anybody have any file sharing recommendations? I remember somebody suggesting a site that wasn't frequently worked blocked but I forget.

I still don't understand how people are delusional enough to think that new possessed chart would make them viable.
Random movement is never a good thing. The other ones hardly ever make them any better at what usually is shooting at them anyway.

Stop being so thick. There's only so much room on the box to list everything,

Use Imgur.com - it is work friendly and a good hosting site.

The conversions aren't really all that exciting. A horn here or there, mutated arm. Its a rather pointless page filler

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Uploaded for anybody interested. Bigger pics in links below.
Not mind blowing conversion but it's certainly interesting. To me anyway.
