Is that the new plastic commander in the first pic and the coldstar (?) in the second?

I think that's the same model in both pictures. If you want to see what's speculated to be the coldstar go to the first page of this thread and look behind the crisis suits. There is a bulkier suit that almost looks like it has a broadside body. That is believed to be the coldstar.

The limited edition codex cover looks legit. I like the red and white Farsight-style color scheme.
The new Commander model looks great too. Hopefully it'll be more stable than the last one; I've heard bad things about the previous...

Since it appears the codex leaks are incoming, can we get elite listings? Or are stealth suits still Elites as well?

This leads me to hope XV8 remain unchanged and not nerfed. Now we need to see the Commanders points and all the rules of the Coldstar and its associated weaponry.
Edit
Coldstar is... disappointing as well due to the fixed weaponry and it losing all the good stuff of being a FMC. Keep up that streak GW. Your finding more and more ways for is to never take any of the new things. The cherry on top is if our formations are trash. I'm hoping they aren't.
Edit
I am preparing to drop an F bomb on GW if I see this guys price is higher than it already is.

Now that is interesting. Guns might not be that good (depending on what the super- BC is), but FMC defense and mobility seems like it should have some potential. Automatically Appended Next Post:
All the good stuff? Who cares about some melee stats and a vector strike that requires you to come close to the enemy? It's still only hit with snap shots and can fly across half the table each turn.

I have a Y'vahrah in my collection so at every turn I have to ask myself. This Coldstar or a Y'vahrah. I can see it has some sort of use, but it's not all that great.

Why compare a fast attack choice to an HQ choice? And the Y'vahra is only a FMC for movement, it doesn't get to keep the bonuses on defense.

Right but it puts out so much more dakka it's not even comparable. I don't need two units with that role. And if I did I would just fly 2 Y'vahrah.

The Coldstar Commander sounds awesome. You have locked wargear and lose all of your CC ability as an FMC, but can move like one, force Snap Shots, and can Jink on the ground. Unfortunately, being only T4 and with no ways to take Signature Systems, you either Jink or you die. Don't expect to win any fights against proper FMCs.

I want to preface this next post: The source does not remember the points cost, and apparently doesn't have any info beyond these shots.

And if it turns out that a high-yield burst cannon is basically a Nova-charge profile without the Gets Hot (R36"S6AP4 Heavy12 rending)?

How do you know that when we haven't seen the stats for its BC? And, again, it's an HQ. You have to take an HQ no matter how many Y'vahras you bring, so the real comparison is this thing vs. a normal commander.

Have to admit, having a commander fly around sounds hilarious. Assuming that burst cannon isnt trash and/or he proves to be too expensive to bother.
