I'll try to get a good photo of the heads. I think some of the legs would be OK but others have flat patches where the robes hang.

Anyone else disappointed you cannot mix & match the legs & torsos?

Any info or pictures of the different forgeworld colour scheme from the skitarii codex ?

Just the one from WD62 so far -

Spoiler:

Whoa, those white skitarii look really nice.
I might copy it

It looks like that the schemes might be a variety of red / metal and white , similar to the SoB

That White paint job is lovely

In a battlefield role I would use ( depends on points ) but for example 2000 I would use squads of 5 for sisters and 10 of Skitari

Sisters have the imolator as transportation where as Skitari don't have any need really for transport.

We are going to need to hire more people to reset the clock at this point!

As a Nurgle collector I have to say that these guys are quite different from Plague Marines. Oh wait, no I didn't have to say that, or drag Nurgle in to this thread for no reason, my bad.

Anyway, I don't see what others are seeing in the walkers, I love both the chicken and spider walkers!

Immo-spam died when they removed the vehicle's firepoint, made it so it doesn't get to use the Heavy Flamer when it moves 12", and the army's Faith Points were no longer tied to an arbitrary model count.

I'd rather take squads of 10 in a Rhino. Cheaper box, more utility, and more ablative wounds.

That aside, I definitely agree with the foot slogging that max squad size is a must. I think mixing the Vanguard and Rangers is a good idea too. Early ranged threats and later game punching.

Reset the clock, I don't care if the working parts are getting worn out!

On the T3 thing Ditto eldar,, DE, Tau, or most anything not demonic or space marine.....

I plan on manning fortifications with mine.

Personally I'm loving this release

Edit for fething phone...

It's clearly a sundial, and we all know it's always overcast or foggy in England so they can never tell if it's "time" yet.

It's quite funny since they do seem popular here.

Negatory.

There is a flattened portion of the legs which is meant to connect with the robed body.

..or a Dark Angels Tactical pin (hint for upcoming Horus Heresy??? )




I assume Dark Angels because of the numeral 'I' and HH because I've never seen the 'I' laid over the horizontal Tac arrows before.

New DA codex. I told you all Dark Angels were coming after Eldar, LoWG were right about Space Marines, they just got the wrong damn codex. Did you not get the Tzeentch web exclusive too? Perhaps that hasn't been sent out yet. It's a blue wristband with the word "Change" imprinted on it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, next 3 releases are: Eldar, Dark Angels, Tzeentch. Call me a troll like normal if you must, but you'll see I'm right in the next few months boys x

Ugg more hatred for Chaos undivided. Soon they will have SoB love and just be dropped as a faction.

Woo! Just got two boxes of Skitarii and one Ironstrider!

Whoever said way back when that rules would be printed in the box, give that guy a medal, because it's true. It's not the full rules for all the weapons.

The kits look great BUT LIMITED. Poses are going to be a problem without some skill with carving tools and green stuff and other hobby supplies. Many of the guns have cables that connect to specific backpacks, and the Ironstrider is just going to be a pain all around if you want anything other than the two leg poses. It's really nice to see the variety of heads and options though.

One other little complaint I have is that the robes come in two parts, a front and back piece. This leaves a line that goes down the side that needs some green stuff or something to fill in. Not a deal breaker, but make sure you're ready for it.

Reset the.... What do you mean you are still resetting it from last time?

I am quite sad that our AdMech rumours have dried up for now.

Thanks for this impartial honest assessment! Good to know about the cloaks.

Pretty sure someone already did that with all the sprues, front and back, earlier in the topic. o.o;

No one has posted the rules for the Assassin types? They're in the White Dwarf, along with two Formations I'm assuming from the codex because it's a mini-picture and the usual picture of two Objective Cards and a 'Psychic' Card. The +3BS -2WS 'Protector Alpha'.

I'd post them myself but I don't have the web imaging knowhow...

@Rippy- I posted a big list of stuff due to be released for 40k this year and next. In the Eldar thread I think it was.

This Summer/Fall- Eldar, Dark Angels, Tzeentch, Assassins

Winter/Early Next Year- Tau, Deathwatch and Genestealer Cults. (Not too sure but I suspect we'll see a new Marine dex here too. I heard about a new assault squad box.)

Beyond That: Horus Heresy, Apocalypse, Tyranids, Soriatas, Nurgle, Slaanesh, More Admech, Vect.

Being skeptical about rumours posted by someone with zero track record, especially when some of those rumours have been flat out contradicted by others with a verified and accurate track record is not the same as accusing you of trolling.

Equally, fluff doesn't really support a Dark Angels Chapter codex when the association with 1 is more closely linked to the Dark Angel Legion.

If you're genuine, I'm afraid you're going to have to weather a certain amount of raised eyebrows until you're accepted, as many others have, and in some cases still do. The beauty of the rumour tracker is you will ultimately have something tangible to support your information, assuming it's good. Of course, if none of it pans out, it will also provide us with the necessary rope to lynch you.

I know you wouldn't necessarily be in a position to do so, but if you want to silence your critics, I'd suggest a small but unique detail about an imminent release, something that hasn't been leaked by anyone else yet, that will be verifiable in the near future, that way, you can't be accused of bandwagoning, and we won't have to wait months to see if you're right.

I hope that it is truth that you are whispering! Thanks, I guess we will be able to tell if you are right shortly from the Dark Angels rumours.

@Azrael13- The trolling comment wasn't actually aimed at anyone on here don't worry.

I understand and respect you all have the right to be skeptical though, but it can get a little annoying when you're constantly being called a liar. I was supposedly lying about my WHF besides the fact none of it has been proven wrong yet. (Or right to be fair...) Not everything I post is going to correct 100% of the time, but I'll do my best to give what info I can.

As for the tidbit, has that Tzeentch wristband been shown yet? I haven't seen one on the internet yet, but I know they've made them. For what it's worth I mentioned Tzeentch and Dark Angels stuff ages ago, which was confirmed later by Hastings.

That tidbit isn't unique like Azrael asked. The wristband was discussed on Faeit last week.

Here's the images of the Sicarians. Sorry for the huge size...

No, no wristband has been posted to my knowledge.

I'm sure someone will be excited enough by their free rubber to post about it once they start shipping out.

We have to be fair, she simply may not have anything to share that isn't already in the aether, at least nothing which wouldn't be compromising. I only forwarded the suggestion as a way of silencing the critics.

Really? I was unaware of that, my bad. Ok, Harlequins aren't in the new Eldar dex. Dark Angels are coming May I think.

Here is the link to the wristband from last week. We haven't seen pictures, but this is just another potential bandwagon rumor.

Harlequins not being in the Eldar codex is absolutely obvious now that they have their own dex. How is this supposed to lend credibility to your rumors? Dark Angels in May - finally you give us a solid specific fasifiable prediction.

Thanks for that. They're definitely real, my source has one along with the Khorne one and a Nurgle pin.

Right now there isn't much else I can post. There's some Fantasy stuff End of April/Start of May and then Dark Angels/Tzeentch. I went against two rumour heavyweights LoWG and Nightfury about what was supposed to be coming out this year and signs point to me being right.

Check my post history and the date of Hastings post and you'll see that I did indeed mention DA+Tzeentch first. (I'll admit though I thought back the Tzeentch stuff was just Daemons. But hey, we can't be right 100% of the time.)

Not much else I can do for you atm boys.

I posted the fronts from the GW site, but not the backs.

So the Neurostatic Aura affects Models, not Units. So you have to get these guys within 6" of everybody.

It seem to proc all the time, so no trouble running up and charing people, if you get into range you will be within 6" so they will be -1
