I just read the White Dwarf post on the website, and saw:

There are new weapons in the box, too, such as the eviscerator wielded by this Sergeant. It’s not just a weapon for officers, though – any Space Marine in the squad can carry this tank-shredding blade.

Oh yes. Yessss.
I am afraid they are probably going to cost like 30 pts or more since they are pretty close to Thunder Hammers (they trade Concussive for Armourbane and Specialist Weapon v. Two-Handed is a wash). Still, I would rather have Death Company with Evicerators than Power Fists or Thunder Hammers.

Don't get me wrong, I think the option of giving Assault Squads a reliable anti-tank weapon is laudable. And not to piss on your Wheaties, but the reason folks don't take Assault Squads isn't because they can't bust tanks. The reason folks don't take assault squads is because they shot to hell before they can do anything. There's a reason that everyone's been playing White Scars armies - because bikes, in addition to having mobility AND the ability to take multiple special weapons, are also more survivable than your standard line Marine. Until you give Assault Marines the ability to survive longer moving up the field toward their targets OR give them the ability to assault immediately after deepstriking, they're still going to be overpriced and underqualified for what you need them to do - even if you allow them all to take eviscerators. I mean, look at Death Company (as noted by casvalremdeikun) - they've got FNP to help out, but you still don't see people winning tourneys with BA Death Company armies.

Not to argue, but there is nothing wrong with assault marines in drop pod lists. You trade their useless pack for a pod and can take 2 flamers and a combi flamer in 5 models. Dropping in and spraying 3 flamers, a grenade and a pistol is not bad at all. Now you can trade that last pistol for an evicerator depending on cost which when paired with melta bombs on sarge can make the unit dual purpose on vehicles/MC's after the initial bake sale.

If deathwind launchers cause pining as rumored that unit is actually incredible.

Firefox may be a common browser, but Archlinux is not that common an operating system.

I dunno about the Librarian. I still think one of the beast TDA Librarians models is the one from the most recent two editions of Space Hulk, even without him being in an action pose. The last version that was in metal/now finecast always looked a bit too bulky for me, even in TDA.

very disapointing. They keep clam packing models they already have. When the DE book came out they released a new Succubus and a new Archon to replace finecast models. They added no new options, and the models didnt look any better than the previous models. Made for a very sad release. Nerfed book, crappier models, give us money approach. Instead they could have added a few options or kept one or two of the special characters.

The totally uncommon setup of any combination of Windows 7, Windows 8, Chrome, and Firefox? (the various permutations of which probably cover half of everyone on the internet?) I just wanted to see the exact text about eviscerators - I feel like it really means "any marine" can have one as in "any 1 marine per 5 marines, not limited to just the sergeant", but I'd be pleasantly surprised if they really let any number of assault marines take one.

**MajorWesJanson**

Actually, the Librarian looks quite unified in movement, with the cape, keys, face, everything. It looks like he is spinning to face a target to his right with the storm bolter.

Don't have a problem with Windows 8 or 10 using Explorer, Edge/Spartan or Chrome. I don't know what the problem is, then, sorry.

I don't think it said that you could have more than 1/5. If I recall, it said something like, the sergeant wasn't the only one that could take an Eviscerator (not necessarily implying that you could have more than 1 total). The text was ambiguous IIRC.

**Moopy**

Chaplin is great! Libby feels like I've seen this model twice already.

**Hybrid Son Of Oxayotl**

Nothing.

So I assume we're to forge the narrative then?

"They are the Hemoplasma elite Assault Marines of the Blood Angels chapter. Bathed in the blood of the worshipers of the blood god, they use their Clot Bolt Pistols and Sanguine Chainswords to gore the bloody daemons of Khorne. I HAVE THE PAGE FOR BLOOD BOOKMARKED IN MY THESAURUS is their blood curdling cry."

why are DA getting new modles when the SM codex is getting updated? I don't get it.

DA getting new codex right afterwards

Edit: Desubot is quicker on the draw!

I shoulda stayed quiet lol.

**Paradigm**

By all accounts there is a new DA book coming as well, after the Devastators. Then it's whatever the new WFB turns out to be.

We are getting an DA codex as well and the releases will most likely be in different weeks.
I already posted this elsewhere, but taking all leaks and rumours and the afore mentioned hints for the next week into consideration, a Release Schedule COULD look like this:

6th of June: Devastators + Codex Adeptus Astartes: Space Marines (CONFIRMED)
13th of June: Libby + X (Command Tanks?) (Libby almost CONFIRMED)
20th of June: Interrogator Chaplain + Codex Adeptus Astartes: Dark Angels
27th of June: X (possibly new citadel colour sets as those including the old brush range are sold out)
4th of July: Age Of Sigmar (CONFIRMED)

**Warhams-77**

Timotheus, I know how you intended it, but these are not the release dates but preorder dates

Cheers

Damnit you are right. We already talked about that. It's the way my brain works...

So pls add 7 days to all the dates. And thanks to you Warhams-77 to point that out.

Kein Problem

All you really need to do to switch him to a different chapter is replace the left shoulder pad and replace or file the DA badge off his backpack.

**Swastakowey**

When the Imperial Guard was being released the thread was over 100 pages long. Is interest in the releases getting smaller or is it because if how things are being released?

**spartiatis**

Perhaps because we have no rules leaks so far and there are no new - new units released

It was missing for me too a few hours ago. Now it is back.
