all I'm really hoping for is a change to fortifications and the assault phase. Everything else is a bonus..

I'd only predicted 3 earlier (I assumed they'd stop with the posters when the book comes out), but with CSM being the last ones I'm definitely going with Marines as the next one. They'll either get "No Forgiveness" or "No Mercy".

Hasn't that been their tag line for a long time?.."There is no time for peace, No respite, No Forgiveness, There is only War!"

Bah, they should make the orks their poster-boyz. The tag line would be WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! and the second and third poster would contain nothing but multiple 'A's.

No forgiveness is probably Tyranids? You need a baddie/Xenos.

Looks like Marines (from a friend's recently arrived order) and specifically the Unforgiven...

**SarisKhan**

Any chance someone could post/link the poster with CSM? I'm curious how does it look like.

Sorry for not taking the game of toy soldiers as seriously as you think it should be. Let's all act maturely and insult people instead.

**Jidmah**

Kids? Hah, I've made people dive for cover under their gaming table with my Waaagh! declaration

**jackblg**

Cannot wait to see the changes... really exited, has there been any more news yet?

Also i cant wait to play the new missions.

No.

**katfude**

I really hope the "random" victory points objectives give you some choice like Malifaux as opposed to, "Use you FA to go get this. OH LOL YOU DON'T HAVE FA HAHAHA YOU USUCKNOOB"

Oooh... can we? 'Cause that sounds like heaps of fun!

**streamdragon**

Presumably the WD that these pics are from is out tomorrow? Someone might get it early, and be able to post the full side bar about Ezekial summoning a Bloodthirster, at least?

Ultimately it would fail.

I mean, they would have to acknowledge we exist in some ethereal plane not contrived of one man stores, dollar bills, and the FinerThings in life.

I've already gotten mine. The text below just talks about how the designers make fun of Adam when he tries to claim how pure his dark angels are now. It also says that they'll go over demonology more next week.

I imagine next edition will be an even better more epic style of play.

No FOC no point's sytem and everything scoring, literally play anything and everything

also adds in an exciting new phase called the epic phase, once per a game each opponent can sacrifice their entire turn to roll a d3 on the epic chart, althogh the following armies cannot use this awesome phase= chaos space marines, tyranids, sisters of battle, dark angels, score goes as follows

1. power of the dark gods, sacrifice your phsyker for a trio of bloodthirsters

2. for the greater good, a trio of riptides immieditely arrives on the table, cannot assault but can immeditely fire every weapon at full BS

3 In the emperor we trust, a mighty war titan arrives on the battlefield and your opponent immeditaely loses, you may also with your opponents permission (or not) stamp the reaver titan on your opponents figures to simulate the awesomeness of the emperors divine will

Yes... nothing costs points... let me just place this phantom titan here and these 2 revenants there and the rest of my 15000 what used to be called points of army over there... how many models were you playing with again? oh only 40? well i guess that won't make a long match against my 400...

Well the last one is rumored to be CSM so that covers the "baddie" angle, and I don't see them leaving their poster boys off....well the posters.

EDIT: And from the looks of the image posted earlier, they didn't.

**George L.**

Not too sure I like what I'm hearing about the new rules but at least it gives me a chance to dust off the old 40k army... I guess the force org chart has been obsolete for a while now anyways

Someone's being a grumpy head, the smiley in the post was the clue.

Amusingly in the original Adeptus Titanicus the Titans themselves did not cost points, only the weapons with which you equipped them. A bare naked Titan body -- with void shields and improvised H2H attack -- cost nothing, so you could have an infinite number of them.

Ha I love Adeptus Titanicus still, and I never realized this. Man I wish I enjoyed GW's recent games as I did AT/SMv1. Or still do, I still have both sets. Actually I have every set released for Epic.

Kilkrazy, I noticed the Japanese flag next to your name... assuming you are in Japan, what is the GW scene there like?

As far as the starter set goes, it seems really light. Prob the worst since 3rd ed. I can't believe they couldnt throw in a killer kan or ork dreadnought at least. At Space Marines over scouts. And only 3 scenarios???? Lazy.

I'll prob buy this stupid thing anyways.

Exalted Sir!

**bullyboy**

so is the picture of the dark angel under "no forgiveness" there purely because they are now summoning Bloodthirsters?

Sounds like a cheep excuse mechanic to sell more chaos demons...

It's the secret the Dark Angels don't want you to know about! Read all about it in our new, limited-time offer of Warhammer 40k, the 7th edition!*

*Warhammer 40k: the 7th edition will be available until August 2015

I have a swarmlord laying around I would proxy. Don't need to use specific models even if it came down to it.

Well that or because they're the "Unforgiven".

**GrimDork**

I guess if everyone is throwing knights and titans around it may finally give me an excuse to buy a dream forge leviathan...

I think I've shifted from doomgloom to amused bystander hoping for a pleasant surprise (but not too hopeful).
