**RiTides**

Wow, those table shots are epic!!

**BrookM**

The two command Russ tanks have interesting weapon loadouts: the Executioner comes with three plasma cannons and the Vanquisher has three lascannons. Maybe a sly sneakpeek of what's to come further down the road?

**Bull0**

Wonder if those giant dioramas are permanent installations or just for this event? Because holy moly :O would love to get a look at those in the flesh

Is that a new UM flier on the left of the chasm, or just a Storm Eagle?

If it's the photo I think you mean, that's a Thunderhawk.

No, the one to the right of the parked T-Hawk, actually in the ravine. Much smaller than the T-hawk, but might just be a Stormeagle.

Ah okay yeah, I think it is just a Stormeagle.

Posting from b&c

The new thanatar has 2 short range plasma launchers that has some decent fluff about a spat between Ryza and another forge world (who created the new thanatar). The launchers are 18" range with heavy 2 small blast but can overheat - note the book is in the boot and that was off the top of my head.

The domitar battle automata are redesigned Conquerer class robots with 2 grav hammers and a missile launcher. Around twice the points of a castellax!

Also about the new Ultramarines units we have the suzerian blingy dudes with shields and the new terminator squad (who can go full autocannons or cyclones with assorted power weapons and fists) we have a new jump unit too who all come stock with artificer armour and power swords also ultramarines breachers can take (or swap their bolters, book is in car lol) power swords for 5 points.

Guilliman looks like a 3rd party sculpt.

Sigi is hilarious in a bad way. He has a face of an aged vampire and a pose of YMCA dancer. I feel sorry for IF players.

The only differences I've noticed on the WS squad are the new helmets and chainswords.

Who the hell are "Blade slaves"? WBs themselves or possessed loyalists? Their leader looks like a sorcerer.

you're quite spiteful aren't you, need a cookie?

I think Sigismund look pretty amazing, but he needs his iconic helmet

Of course my Sigismund will be painted black!

**ImAGeek**

I don't really dislike the Sigismund model, I just don't like it as Sigismund. And the torso area looks a bit weird but might just be the photos we've seen.

The airbrush paints are interesting to me because when I asked them how they painted their Imperial Fists a few weeks ago, they told me they used Tamiya Flat Yellow.

I wonder if in future they'll be using the paints they sell, or just telling people they do. Airbrush paints in flip tops is going to undermine sales for them, however good they are.

**aka_mythos**

I want that Khornate knight!

**Tannhauser42**

Airbrush paints not in dropper bottles is annoying. BUT, is it just me, or are those Coat D'Arms paint bottles they're in?

I am loving the scenic base Guilliman is on. The one picture I've seen so far seems to be suffering from "bad-picture-angle" syndrome, as something about his proportions doesn't look right to me.

Anyway, cool stuff so far!

**prowla**

Damn it, now I want to build a 'deep' hive table as well. Just when I was thinking to make everything super-transportable..

**WrentheFaceless**

Everything looks amazing

Those battle boards are insane, especially that 2 story one going up the stairs

**Lockark**

Has anyone caught any juicy tidbits about the new milita/cult list?

Forge World's replies about painting tend to vary based upon the kit and who painted them.

Plus, they probably didn't want to spill the beans and the Tamiya Flat Yellow might be an exact match or any number of variables.

**valace2**

So for 15 points more, Guilliman is an absolute boss, would hand Dorn his ass in nearly every fight. Buffs his units and just gets better as close combat goes on. Dorn gets a chainsword (really a chainsword) and an expensive taxi.

The ultramarines legions astartes rules from b&c

Reroll 1s to wound and to pen in shooting phase against units that have already been shot at by other Ultranarine Units (so basically all Ultramarine units function as pseudo-marker lights)
Reroll charge distance against a unit that is locked in with another Ultramarine unit.
Take Regroup and Pinning checks at LD10.
If HQs all die then everyone takes a pinning check.

Ultramarines astartes rule
UM units that shoot at a target that has already been shot at by another UM may re-roll 1's to wound and to penetrate
UM units may re-roll charge ranges if charging a unit already in combat with another UM unit.
UM units take pinning and regrouping tests at base LD10 (still take modifers)
if all UM HQ choices are killed then all UM units must take a pinning test

Ultramarine rite of war
have a selection of abilities to pick from,
-re-roll run distances, snap fire at BS2 if stationary, or counter attack
choose at the begaining of a turn, may be used more than once, but only 1 at a time.

Ultramarine wargear
Legatine axe: power weapon thats AP2 hit at I value and auto-wounds on a 6
mantle of ultramar: artifcer armour that confers +5 FNP and immunity to blind (model only, not unit)

Ultramarine units
ultramarines gain 4 new units
invictus suzerain squads: tooled up combat gents, with boarding shields and power weapons, gives +1LD to nearby friendlies for pinning morale test
fulmentarus terminators: seige tyrants with better targeting bonuses for number of models in units
locutarus storm squad: vanguard vets with less wargear options
damocles command rhino

Ultramarine characters
honoured telemechrus: contemptor basicallys UM version of ryanlor
ventanus, cheap praetor grade charcter, some small scale boosts
Roboute guilliman, lower end of primarch power, but lots of tough bonuses, good weapons

Word Bearers:
mhara gal is in there, along with two new characters and a two man unit (command squad for one of the characters)
daemonic dark apostle good stats, wargear etc, makes ashen circle troops and lets them buy dark challenging, has a two man 'super gal vorbak' bodyguard
mid level character, mid-level powers, can make all WB units WS5 for one turn

**MeanGreenStompa**

I need these so very, very badly... I owned that terminator, so many years ago, I loved that mini so much. A unit of M&M termies would be the best, the very best.

**zedmeister**

Wow, they're a blast from the past

**Sgt_Smudge**

I think I'm liking the UM traits, definitely supporting the idea of army synergy there with the psuedo markerlights.

What are those things?! Knights, Titans, Terminator armour variants? I must know! EDIT: ninja'd

Also some significant changes for Titans
All patterns:
- never blocked in assault
- immune to haywire, dangerous terrain, psychic attacks other than whichfire
Reaver and Warlord:
- can only be hit on 6 during assault by infantry and monstrous creatures and 5-6 by sup-heavy walkers
Warlord only:
- stomp attack with 5'' blast

**MeanGreenStompa**

The first terminators. The BEST terminators.

I'm guessing Meduson, it's nothing like the art in the other FW books.

So they can just walk out of assault if they want to?

just like back in 4th and 5th. Only thing I don't like here is the only getting hit on 6s. Yeah the model model is 'uge but it's not challenging to hit the broad side of the barn, just frustrating when the barn is reinforced steel. Though I guess it could be argued as extra ankle height defensive plating or anti personell measures (I'm imagining imagining the fallen zaku vs guerillas from 08th team scene)

**WrentheFaceless**

If its all Titan types, my Warhound will be happy

**Melcavuk**

The never locked thing makes sense, given that their foot is bigger than the units locking them 90% of the time if it wants to leave the combat nothing is going to stop it. The anti-haywire and psychic thing would make my warhound more survivable.

Ho-lee gak I am going to need a few of those.

That warlord is HUGE. What $1200?
