**Desubot**

What do you mean? It's 'ACTUAL WHITE SCARS' but it's just their upgrade set for 'everyone gets their upgrades and maybe a Rite of War'. So...both?

Huh?

I think it might be in reference to the Forgotten Stars game. Though I can state, those aren't Epic pieces. They're definitely more like some luxury board game pieces. I was under the impression that FFG didn't have a license to produce tabletop game miniatures.

I thought I recalled a few years back that FFG got the licenses to Specialist Games... Not sure - don't quote me on that as fact, though.

Aye, I'd go mad, spending. If they went the 6mm Adeptus Titanicus route, they could easily do a pilot release. All they'd need is 3 classes of Titan, a clutch of weapons and tweak the existing rules and job done. It'd be a seller. Who wouldn't want to engage in Engine War?

Thats my plan, just not in 6mm...

Those Legion White Scars kind of make me wanna do a White Scars Legion! Hot damn! They look pretty awesome!

Yeah I'm gonna start some when their stuff starts coming out. I never even considered them til I read Scars. Trouble is there's so many legions I want to do and sticking to any is a freakin nightmare.

I heard the deal was they had the rights to RPGs and board games but no miniatures games. Which is why Relic has those busts rather than full figures.

The only thing that puts me off White Scars is their lack of heavy armour stuff. They're more hit and run kinda guys. So I imagine they get LOTS of jetbikes etc etc.

Yeah generally, but the legions were big and they all had access to everything and all would have had to (and been able to) fight in any kind of war, so there's nothing fluff wise stopping you using heavy armour. Their rules might not mesh well with it though.

**BrookM**

Whether a marine is in a white suit of armour or a pink one should not prevent you from accessing any and all of the universal Rites of War.

I still think they should have gone with a grimdark thimble made from a servitor's big toe and a little space marine Mk8 armor shoe.

Actually, a couple of legions can't take some of them, just because they don't mesh with their legion rules. Iron Hands can't take Angels Wrath for example because that only let's you take jump infantry and they can't take more jump infantry than infantry.

This is the first rumour I'm happy to go on the tracker about, I spoke to my mate whom works at forge world (in a prominent well known position) and the person has informed me that dark angels are now being worked on, they have had a brief about how they want the dark angels to behave, and are hashing out the pre lion el jonson fluff, this ive been told will be more extensive than any of the other pre primarch fluff as I was told it is key to the events that happen during and after the heresy, I asked what units to expect and they stated that nothing solid has been nailed down just yet, but throwing around names such as deathwing paladins, doom knights (not a clue what this could be) and several others, I personally don't know how long development takes bit this is exciting to me.

Glad to share all.

If, hypothetically, I also had a friend in a very prominent position at FW, and said friend, who does not tend to give out information, as I would, hypothetically never be boorish enough to press him on things he can't discuss, was very willing to shoot down internet bs for the bs it is, was, on being asked about this rumor, made it very very clear that no, there was absolutely nothing currently being done with Dark Angels (and said friend knows Dark Angels really really well...) then, hypothetically, I'd be inclined to post here to make it clear you were speaking incorrectly.

They will be done, eventually, but they are not on the slab yet, not by a long shot.

Hypothetically.

You definitely don't want to cross thread streams. This is one of the very few generally positive GW threads mainly because GW is relatively hands off.

I am suggesting he got his wires crossed in what he's claiming he heard from his 'high ranking FW mate', in a quote from this thread.

Because I really strongly suggest that Dark Angels are nowhere near the top of the 'to do' list for them right now.

**e.earnshaw**

In calth book II we know theres going to be ultras world eaters and word bearers as the books useualy have four factions vould we assume deamons might make an aperance?

**BrookM**

Or perhaps the Imperial Army gets some more toys.

**ImAGeek**

Well the books don't always have 4 factions, Conquest didn't as far as I know, and Tempest only had the UM, WB and Militia properly.

**Looky Likey**

I'm not expecting many new units at all for UM, WB or WE in the new book; there should be plenty of room for two new lists, hopefully Daemons and a Chaos Knight or PDF list. The contents of the next book will be top of my list to ask when I go to the open day next weekend, although I'm expecting a vague response around it not being decided yet.

The two rumours don't seem entirely incompatible though, it certainly didn't sound like DAs were near the top, but only just beginning to be considered at all. Looks like it would just be the framework of the fluff beginning to be worked out, miles away from any models.

**Enigwolf**

For a change from HH, anyone have any news or rumors on the next IA book? I know there was some talk going around that it was going to be AdMech, but I hardly see GW giving an entire book to AdMech. IG and SM made sense, it took decades for them to release one for Chaos. I can't see them doing one for a small and new Imperial faction, regardless of how its performing sales-wise.

Just because they prefer bikes doesn't mean they dont have access to 100% of the armory every other Legion has. They're still space marines. People often confuse "fluffy" with "preference" or "affinity for" when in reality almost all SM chapters employ all the same weapons.

Yep at no point did I suggest dark angels are next, only that they have begun working on them, I even said based on my own conjecture that they are likely at least a year away, I am just excited that they have begun the work, hence the share.

If people don't like it, I don't care, I'm not a rumour monger and couldn't care less about such things, I'm just sharing the good news with my fellow hh enthusiasts, and please try to remember that the people that make these games are HUMAN and are allowed FRIENDS, the person never shares info with me normally but knew this would excite me, so told me for a change.

I'd be surprised if we didn't see either IG or SM as the protagonist in ,whatever book was released, every book has them in there. Even as a Chaos player I'll be a little fed up if we see another Chaos book as the last two have been Chaos, I want to see something new! Although I'm guessing we will see a reissue of one of the older books, Badab would be my guess as they have been selling it off for a long time now, although Tzeetch has been rumoured for a while. My guess is that we'll see the next IA October or November?

Yeah exactly. The smallest legion was 80,000 legionnaires, the legions were massive. There's definitely room in every legion for every kind of warfare.

**Deadshot**

For the next Calth book I am 100% expecting It to contain the events of the Betrayer novel as a second half to the Ultramar warzone. Special Characters would include the War Hounds Contemptor, the last WE Librarian and Daemon Angron.

**ImAGeek**

I hope we see some more of Kharns retinue as well, like Kargos Bloodspitter, his apothecary, and Skane, the Destroyer. Oh and Delvarus of the Triarii.

Correct. If you even look at the different Chapters that formed from the Imperial Fists alone, you had the chapters from the legion that specialized in ship-to-ship warfare (Soul Drinkers), to the siegemasters (the ones who kept the Imperial Fists name), etc.
