Dissapointed the Leviathan book is sold out. Oh well. Maybe i'll be able to pick it up at the local shop. Hoping that the box set makes an appearance - I am really liking that new Broodlord.

I'm actually thinking that the new Broodlord is going to be a plastic clamshell release.

My reasoning for that? These painting books have all had a general release item on the cover. Logan Grimnar for the Space Wolves and the new Haemonculi for the Dark Eldar.

Broodlord out of stock on AUS and US websites. Still in stock on CAN and UK though.

Well if it goes out of stock in the UK as well hopefully it means the new brood lord won't be restricted to a limited release as part of the campaign box.

If it was going to be released as part of the campaign box, the availability of the Finecast version would not be affected (sadly).

The campaign box released previously(Stormclaw) used components from existing boxes put into a box with the new character sprues.

They sold out the day after. But I think that GW overdid it on follow-up orders as the books seem to sit on the shelves now. My own local GW has 5 copies of each book, and several local independents actually still have four or more copies of Stormclaw.

New Broodlord?

It's huge!!!

Very big. Cool.

I love how its lower arms are posed like it is sneaking like a comic book character.

Isn't that just the Space Hulk Broodlord?

I see it more as typing angrily about the delayed Blood Angels codex.

I hope it has an alternate head. Not a massive fan of that one.

I was just about to ask for pictures of this new Broodlord (Beeflord?). I am not at all disappointed.

EDIT: Isn't there an enormous Broodlord at the end of the Deathwing game trailer?

Negative. It's seemingly bigger than the Space Hulk one.

Well this is the Space Hulk one yes?:



It's pose, specifically the arms, are noticeably different than the leaked pic.

Obviously similar to the Spacehulk one, very cool!

Very cool- looks massive and I love the big claws! Hopefully a clam pack release..

It's very obviously inspired by the Space Hulk Broodlord (which is a lovely model, so that's great), but not so much that they would look bad side-by-side.

With the re-addition, in a fashion, of mycetic spores and the Doom of Malan'tai, I hope that the new Broodlord heralds a replacement for Ymgarl Genestealers. Obviously not assaulting from reserves (as that doesn't happen any more), but some way of making Genestealers actually useful, even if it's just a Formation.

What is the broodlord herald thing? I miss something?

I believe he meant the brood lord might suggest the return of the old genestealers, not that it was a herald (verb not noun)

Looks pretty nice, would be tempted to lose the horn but that should be fairly straight forward.

Is anyone talking about the fact that this campaign book has a very obvious gene stealer cult inclusion? I suggest everyone dl the "tempestus" extract from the app which depicts a cult directly. As far as I know this is the most attention GW has given this facet of the fluff in years.

Now, I'm (almost*) as cynical as most people when it comes to GW, but seeing as this whole event very clearly pops off with a GS cult do you think any formations might adress this? Or at the highest point of wish listing, even give allies options with guard?

*ok, not nearly

Yes. Although that would make it a herald (of better Genestealers), but not something specifically called a "Broodlord Herald".

any leaks on whats in that new book, I know formations, but what kind...is that information out yet?

I expect the Tyranids curbstomping the Imperials in this book and consuming the Shields of Baal. But the next book will be an Imperial victory (we can't have Leviathan consuming Baal just before the releasing of the new Blood Angel Codex) at some great cost.

So whats the deal with this chatter about a "Screechfiend"? Where are people getting this? Whats the deal!? I must know!

Ah, so it's just a couple of Harpies with a fluffy moniker.

That's an Harpy with a Tentaclid attached... nice.

Although in the image they have stranglethorn cannons, not venom cannons.

Sounds like one of the formations maybe?

Quite possibly.

Skyblight 2.0!

The Crarpy.

I like this new artwork. It's especially good to see new content and not just more recycled art/prose as in the Tyranid Codex.
