So, Finecast commissar is gone. I am looking at the old metal HQs and seeing if I want any before they possibly disappear.

Marbo is still in the army list section as marbo, so that is good. No sign of command tanks though.

Ah, but there WAS a female Commissar. And there IS one in my stash of stuff.




Hey, guys...this dude:



IS still available (for now, at least) under the new AM area of the store.

They made one back in the day:

Oh look, another flared out power sword.

Haha none of those have been flared out. They stay parallel and then drop back in. the other ones are parallel, then add the little wing, and then drop back down. That's the only difference and it's what makes it more DE to me.

Good to know that Armored sentinels are still not worth taking!

You have that confused with the Chuck Ornris (tm) special character...

Sent in my preorder for the codex. I figure I will wait before investing in too much (and I want the order cards).

Picked up the standard book, order cards, and the metal commissar. I am excited to see where IG are going.

Marbo is still on the website!

Not necessarily. If the Astra Militarum book has access to an item from the Militarum Tempestus book, Armored Sentinels are going to be a nasty little way of avoiding scatter for deep strike.

Armored Fist - $37.25 for Chimera, $29 for Cadians for a total of $60. That's a savings.

I just like the fact every time I get a Baneblade I get a free squad Commissar.

Armored Sentinels with Plasma cannons for 50 pts instead of 75 seem at least considerable.

can some 1 link the hunting lance picture they found!

Are the order cards going to be available online only?

Probably also available in stores, much like spell/psychic cards. But they'll only last as long as supplies from this printing last.

Armoured sentinels are viable ! !

Yooohooooo !


Lascannons are cheap ! A group of three sentinels with lascannons will be cheaper than a Vendetta.
After a lot of mediocre news, I'm so exited !

Well it look like the Rough Riders are going to be in.

So, the cool blueish Wyvern is apparently a Valhallan vehicle. That's interesting, that means GW are not afraid to include the older IG regiments in their advertising.

There's references to a number of regiments in the preview. So all that 'Catachans are gone' business was bunk.

Missile launchers for five points?

Ohhh man. I hope these costs carry over to regular sentinels, including the price drop on the sentinel itself! That...that's nice...

Also, the armored sentinel's on page 317 out of 394?! Are all the ebook pages just really really tiny?

I wonder where they want you to buy your rough riders from when the GW store no longer sells them...

I'm so glad they aren't for sale. GW Rough Riders are downright disrespectful to use, why would you subject your opponent to some of the worst models in the entire IG range? That is not fair to do. The less sold, the less I may have to encounter those horrid slabs of pewter.

Buy puppet war bikers or ANYTHING else

I am hoping the Rough riders are still in the codex, I want to base mine on WFB DE cold Ones. I guess I will have to wait for the book to drop and try not to imagine the worst.

I am a little upset that the Lances are single use still, what sort of unit goes into battle with only 1 of something they will need ?

So, does the wording of the Hunting Lance mean you only get the special profile once but it continues to be a standard CCW after that?

I have loads of Rough Riders but I rarely play nowadays so get rusty on rules.

I know lowering the cost doesn't automatically make a model perform better but this post made me laugh anyway because one of the first reactions we get to a positive change is just a negative comment.

Yep, just a normal CCW after the first charge.

Suddenly I'm glad I've turned all my Sentinels into the good old Cadian pattern ones with autocannons and the extra armour cockpits.

So are we not getting a big box set like St and tyranid? Or did those come a little later?
