Doesn't seem likely. So far every legion has received only one set of helmets and torsos.

Correct.
I suppose the forthcoming FW fluff for BA will suggest that they predominately use MK.IV armour over anything else. The Raven Guard receive MK.VI upgrades, the Iron Warriors MK.II and so on, so forth.

Now that I think about it, it's possible that the Blood Angels will receive a boarding unit (the guys with the large shields) and barring the imperial fists one, those have been done in mk 3 for legions that have received one. But current rumours claim that a full-fledged book featuring da/ba units aren't being worked on right now but we might see their rites of war (and maybe warlord traits and relics) included in book VI so that players of those legions (or players who want to use them) won't be left all high and dry

Except Ultramarines who got two sets because, well, Ultramarines?

One of the Ultra ones was to build their special units, while the other was just fancy.

Of course then one of those 2 (I think it's 2) units got their own kit.

I consider my Salamanders blessed by the presence of 4 Mk4 helmets amidst the Salamanders head upgrade pack, so while I am stuck with just Mk3 torsos for them, I can at least bring a little Promethean flair to my Mk4 guys.

Does that mean that you have every Tech-Priest ever produced by GW?

As it happens, I own none of GWs' AdMech models. I'll get them eventually, but right now I'm content with owning all the ones FW makes plus multiple Enginseers, Tech-Marines, scratch-built Tech-Marines and the Skullz Tech-Priests.

Dark Angels Legion looking pretty nice painted up... (from Forge World Bulletin 14/09/15)

Damn those look nice. Seeing the DA heads all painted up is gorgeous.Good thing I'm not a fan of the fluff, otherwise a Kill Team force might have wormed its way into my mind...

Here's hoping that the Veletari with power axes go up for pr-order before the end of this month.

Those are gorgeous, are they yours? DA are the only legion I wasn't so keen on, and that's changing rapidly. Someone on Bolter and Chainsword said they asked Alan Bligh how he managed to write balanced rules for the best warrior among the legions (talking about Sigismund) and his response was 'we haven't done Corswain yet'. So I'm looking forward to him, and the FW fluff for the Dark Angels.

@ImAGeek- nah those are from the Forgeworld bulletin today. Thought I'd post them since no-one had done it yet.

Ah I hadn't checked the bulletin today. The new T-shirt designs for the 40k open days look cool, I wish they'd sell them on the website:

I'd take one for Iron Hands. The Raven Guard one looks cool though.

Have we seen a FW paintjob with the old goofy line down the face design, RT style?

This 30k DA helmets will definitely suit 40k Chaos.

Legion Dark Angels use MkIII stuff then I take it??

Sooooooo... has there been any updates on the Plastic box of HH Mk4 marines?

I want to get the BA upgrades but I don't have any MK4 bodies. If there's going to be a ton of Mk4 bodies in that plastic box, i'm not going to get the resin ones.

I can commit to a ton of MK3 shoulder pads though!

Well those DA are in MkII, but all the legions would have used all/most of the marks in some capacity.

I assume he’s talking about the classic RT era helmet stripes. Which were used to denote ranks, amound other things. There were a lot of RT era unit markings that have fallen to the wayside. It would be interesting to see if FW painters did any throwback nods to the old stuff.

Ok, who is going to the next open day? I need that EC shirt and will happily reimburse someone who gets one for me.

I'm sure they do, but the pictured painted DA are in Mk2.

*Looks up*

Still no Dorn and Adepticon is getting closer!

RULES; http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/PDF/Datasheets/Tau-Kx139-Ta%E2%80%99unar.pdf

Ninjad with a smaller picture.

T9 W10 2+/4++ and halves Deathblow wounds?

This thing is pretty tough...

Surprisingly, the rules do not have the "experimental" tag, so it's prolly going to stay like that.

Time to poison it to death.

Poisoned weapons also take a hit against GMC if I recall correctly.

Poison only wounds on 6+. Use fleshbane instead.

Of course, you must still get through W10 2+

Whyyyy is it a GMC???

Wow. For 600 points you get....

Pulse Ordnance Multi-Driver:
- Concentrated Bombardment - 72" Ranged D Ordinance 72" Massive Blast hahahahaha.
- Pattern Bombardment - 120" S8AP3 Apocalyptic Barrage 3, Pinning, no cover

Fusion Eradicator: 24" S8AP1 Heavy 5 Melta (or)

Triaxis Ion Cannon:
- Standard 60" S7AP3 Heavy 6/
- Coherent 60" S9AP3 Heavy 3

T9,10 Wounds, 2+!

And a cool Barrier Shield that gives 5++ vs melee or 4++ vs shooting, and absorbs half damage from D weapon on deathblow rolls.

Move over Wraithknights....

Man oh man, that's a one sweet 600 points.
