On the positive side, the other models would make a nice inquisitorial retinue?

Mm. Maybe a better Rogue Trader and retinue on second thoughts.

That's what I'm doing with my Solar Auxilia list.

That was my thinking also.

I wanted to use him as a Rogue Trader in INQ28 first, stop stealing all my ideas!

Seriously though, I'm even more impressed with the actual model; based on the render I was going to swap the head, but sod that, it's too good to mess with.

His head is what makes him so perfect IMO, it is a really good sculpt.

Oh the temptation solat auxila look so good but i must restrain my burning walet for the mechanicum im letting my self buy.
On the subject of mech are there any rumors on a red book for them?

Yes, there will be a red book but only after the dark mechanicum are done.

I'm really pleased how AM the Solar Auxilia look, now that we're seeing 40k AM and they look like the SA. SA always looked pretty Mars-ish to me with all their cogs and gears and primitive void gear. I think this guy will help seal it. Easy to green stuff a few cyber bits on him.

Forget the Heresey stuff, where's Raid on Kastorel-Novem?

Anyone know if the titan giveaway was actually real and not an April fools joke?

Oh lordy, that would be one heck of a set up.

I doubt it was a joke in all seriousness. We should hear within the week that I won it.

They sent out the email to the winner yesterday, so pretty soon I suppose.

Ah well, maybe next year

Checked my spam folder since that's where all the forgeworld stuff goes so I don't get the countdown emails of only 750 left, 745 left etc. looks like I didn't win, but 'Mr. Warren Buffet has gifted you five million dollars' so it I'll buy one or two.

IA8 and IA11 are both no longer up on FW. Possible 2nd edition updates incoming?

Let's hope so, I'm in need of an updated drop trooper army list.

I'm having a heck of a time finding out where in the world the rules for the Vulture Gunship are.

Imperial Armour aeronautica has the most up to date I suppose.

Did Aeronautica come out before or after Anphelion v. 2?

Before, but the Anphelion Vulture is probably more expensive because it has BS4 IIRC.

True, true...

I'm just trying to figure out what books I need to update for my Guard now. Since y'know, IA1 no longer has the Vulture in it...

I'm hoping IA8 will have an updated drop troop list now, it's been almost a year since the updated codex hit and they still haven't seen fit to update it.

Did the Taros 2nd edition hit after or before the IG codex?

Before, only the DKoK Siege Regiment in Vraks 2.0 is "current."

D-99, Elysian Drop Troops and DKoK Assault Brigade are both outdated, though judging the by the DK book, the changes wouldn't amount to more than some points adjustments, tweaks to units which badly under perform and an alternate FoC, but keep silly-overpriced basic infantry.

D-99 has been updated with Anphelion 2.0, but it's not an optimal list to work with.

It still baffles me that Forge World's product pages don't have a "the latest rules for this model can be found...", with a link. Surely it would only help sales?

Ah, thanks. I was hoping that would help but no luck there. I know the general rule is that the left hand (FW) doesn't know what the right hand (GW) is doing but the first Taros book was actually an exception to that. It had the upcoming tau empire codex rules, stats, and point costs from the new book a few months before it came out. I was thinking that with the rapid fire codex releases we've seen for 2 years that GW did the same here and gave FW the prototype IG rules for the 2nd edition.

Sorry in that case...

The IA:Aeronautica rules (technically the most recent for codex IG) are exactly identical to the rules in the ABG list IA1, except for the 0-1 limit and ability to take them in squadrons. And thanks to the idiotic "faction" rule in 7th you can take the ABG unit (along with any other ABG units you want: LRBTs as troops, HQ tanks, etc) in a codex army because they're both from the IG faction.
