Well...regarding silly chariot units. We know the Space Wolves got one, however the original Horus Heresy Card Game also had this:

Noooooooo!

It's not a real 7th edition chariot unless they make it shaped like a bat (I'm Batman!) or pulled by them.

Please. Don't tempt fate lol.

A blood chariot pulled by blood bats that shoot blood rockets!

Despite all the fear I would actually love this!
It looks like a Javelin Attack Speeder that is turned into a Chariot.
Or no, more like a Legion Scimitar Jetbike that is also a Chariot..
Imagine how awesome this could be

I thought that GW won the rights to the term "Space Marine"?

I actually wouldn't mind that chariot.

I was actually hoping a while back that Blood Angels would be the first Imperium chapter to get a chariot model, but alas SW stole it from us (as well as being a better assault army). Still, life as a BA player goes on...

Space wolves wont be a better assault army for long. We will soon regain our place as the best close combat marine army.

last thing this thing needs is a space for two 25mm round bases to stand on in the back

As if it wasn't phalic enough without the BAAL balls

I'm just hoping we just get FC all the time, and not just on a roll on 1 at the start of battle.

So apparently the codex popped up on GWs website today for a bit at 7:13pm eastern standard time. No screenshot confirmation yet, so this is only a rumor, but apparently it had a "sanguinary guard surrounded by fire". Could be BS, or not.

Oh really? Did the spec editions pop up too do you know?

Early in the DE rumours there was talk of a DE vs BA boxset (in the same vein as Stormclaw). Anyone know if there's any truth to that rumour?

No to the special editions and also no to the Dark Eldar boxed set, so far. Still early in the game though.

I would love for a BA/DE or BA/Necrons campaign box. I loved Stormclaw and if they decide to do a box for either of these then i would be buying it

The BA side is going to be a 10 man ML/F tac squad, plus a land speeder, and the DE side is going to be 20 warriors. It will also include some palm trees, a small ruin, and some other battlefield accessories (tank traps, barrels, etc). Full rules, not the mini one.

Estimated release date is 1998.

quick question for BA players...was there any Lamenters fluff in that last codex ?

Exalted!

Yes, there is a little fluff. FW IA9 has a lot of Lamenters stuff since they were a big player in the Badab war.

No, they didn't. GW upset a lot of people, some famous over that attempted IP grab. They had to back off.


BTW the limited edition Space Marines codexes all have "Adeptus Astartes: Name" on the spine of the book.

right! how can I forgot about that...did they redeemed themselves or are they still considered enemy of the imperium ?

I thinking about painting my space hulk termies as lamenters...

Sort of, the Minotaurs kicked their asses and took their stuff. Then the Imperium sent them on a crusade to redeem themselves. But they walked right in front of a Hive fleet. The BA book states they are the only successor chapter to not respond to Dante's summons to Baal. While it is vague, I believe the chapter is dead. Which is a shame because they have a great story. Lamenters for Space hulk would be fantastic.

Not sure if they're dead, but from what I remember reading they have some HORRIBLE luck. Last I remember they were below 50% strength fighting around the Eye of Terror, again I might be wrong.

As for rumors, here's to getting FC regardless of what the units we deploy are doing, AND, AND keeping turbo-charged engines for Rhino chassis - if we lose that I'll be pissed.

I'm hoping fast is an upgrade rather than built in, just gives a bit more flexibility when list building. Although when I think about it, it might be difficult to differentiate between fast/normal if you take a mix. Hmm maybe built in fast would be better after all, but as long as we still have access to it I'll be happy (even happier) if we can get fast LR

Do BL books tie in with codex releases?

There's a new Lemartes book as part of a special 'reward card' kind of system where you need to collect six 'service studs' (gain a stud by spending £45 or more) at the BL website.

Wasn't sure if a new BA book does help firm up whether we're next or not.

Honestly I prefer calling marines Astartes as opposed to SM. When I write stuff in the 40K universe I always use "Astartes" or just the chapter names since calling characters "Space marines" just sounds stupid. It doesn't fit the massive Knight Templar image of the Astartes but instead reminds me of the Aliens marines (they are cool too but wrong tone.) Codex: Adeptus Astartes; Blood Angels is better to me than CODEX: SPHESS MEHREENS.

In 7th all units are scoring, and may contest, right? So does that mean Death Company are now scoring?!

All units are scoring, unless they specifically state they are not. Which the DC does.

I wonder if this'll change as it's a fairly significant disadvantage. Currently any DT taken for DC can score though I believe (Ob Sec too), also I don't think the non scoring applies to DC dreads, so either DC and dreads will score (perhaps lose obsec) or neither will be scoring ever.
