Any word about the next IA book? Seeing as it's rumoured to be Tau vs Admech, I'd guess it'll be coming soon in order to coincide with the Tau releases? I just hope it has some rules for fielding Mechanicum units in Cult Mechanicus/Skitarii armies (in small numbers accounting for their rarity, of course)...

I'm guessing we'll hear something at the 40k open day next weekend.

Tau vs Admech is the best possible matchup for a new IA book. It sounds too good to be true.

Just given the large variety of models FW has for Mechanicum I imagine a narrative armylist focusing on the forces of a Forgeworld grounded in the old ways with larger amounts of older technology. Then separately just a rule set for incorporating a few units in a similar way that othe IA books have allowed other armies.

Imperial Armour 11 2nd edition

DOOM IS UNVEILED!
This week in the Forge World studio I saw signs of the return of an ancient race. The first copies of the long awaited updated edition of Imperial Armour - Doom of Mymeara have appeared in the studio, and that can only mean that it’s getting close to being released!

Time to start my corsair wooot.

*sigh* still no info on whether they are going to FAQ ia2 2nd edition. Hopefully someone asks this upcoming weekend lol

I just like that there's a Warp Hunter on the cover. Yay for S(D) tanks!!!

My 6000 points of corsairs will be able to hit the table again, enthused isn't the word for what I am feeling right now

Was there any word about FAQs or updates for IA12? Some of the Necron stuff still works in the new edition, but the 7e codex broke a lot. They gave a non-answer when I emailed after the codex came out, any new info?

Woot, time to start Corsairs
*Wallet Starts LAughing*
Shut up, I can dreamm

Noticing they've dropped the numbering. Doesn't say "Volume 11" anywhere.

it's the same with the siege of vraks - tbh, it makes sense as the numbering is off now (Vraks is only one book instead of three^^)

How many IA books have we had this year? Wondering if they will sneak out another one in time for Christmas.

Aww... I got Doom fairly recently. That's a shame.

Makes sense, now that the numbering is so confused with second editions, OOP books, etc. At this point they might as well admit that they aren't releasing stuff in any kind of consistent order and simplify the titles.

Annoying when that happens isn't it? My buddy got his SM codex literally 2 months before the new one dropped lol. Gutted.

I'll be keeping a close eye out for the updated 'elder titan holofield' rules - wishing for a nerf but expecting a buff....

If it makes him feel any better, no one got any more than 2 years use out of that version unlike previous editions of the codex. Your buddy just bent over further.

I've stayed with corsairs throughout all the rubbish that GW has done to CWE as they're really the only Eldar army that aren't op but still has a decent chance of winning games. I hope they don't end up being like harlies, just full of formations and i hope they don't end up op either.

As things are, a full force of corsairs is about right for their points - hornets are too cheap but wasps and the phoenix are overpriced but they all balance out. I want jetbikes to move to elites to allow troops to remain as cool jetpack guardians and wasps.

What has me worried is the lack of an official HQ choice so unless they make at least a prince or prince conversion kit i can see them ending up like harlies. But surely their more comprehensive choice of models makes this unlikely right? Right?!?

One thing's for sure, i haven't been as excited about a release since it was revealed that Daemonhunters was getting an update. Then i remember what the did to Grey Knights in 5th...

Well, hopefully they'll tackle Imperial Armour 8 soon as well then.

Forge World is not GW. IA13 came out after the Necron Decurion and didn't have Formations, so there's nothing indicating that Corsairs will do it.

I hope you're right! There were some rumours a couple of weeks ago about more rules for the corsairs prince. I'm really hoping for a prince model...

There was some pretty wild speculation that the Corsairs would essentially have most of the optional equipment available to both DE and CWE (although I doubt this heavily).

I, too, would be dubious about a Corsair decurion.

Someone mentioned the number of IA books coming out this year. Honestly, reprinting an IA book seems like a good business move, since you don't need to pay for new fluff or new art (just a smaller payment to reprint them, if I'm understanding correctly). It's really just revamping rules at that point, and at least in the case of some of the IA books (especially the ones with specialty army lists), it's something people want.

Although expect special detachments like dkok got and others. Giving you special rules but more flexibility.

Just got my latest order in the post. I ordered two sets of combi-weapons. Instead of 5 of each type (plasma, melta and flamer), I got one set of 10 plasma and 5 melta, and one set of 10 melta and 5 plasma. This is actually very much to my liking, although I'm less impressed by the fact that all 15 combi-meltas are quite horrifically miscast. I think I can just about salvage 5 of them, which is good since I can hardly request replacements for 15 combi-meltas when I only ordered 10.

Yes you can, easily.

"hello I received 15 meltas when I ordered 5, 10 are very miscast"
"no problem. We will send you replacements"

That's how fw is, their customer service is amazing.

Tell them you ordered two sets, but got 15 plasma, 15 melta, and none of the flamers, and that all 15 meltas are badly miscast.

And just ask politely what they can do to help you. Alot of times they will just send you a replacement for the whole gun set instead of replaceing parts of it. (since now they package into blisters) That's what happened to me when I got a set of badly cast volkite guns. They would probably send you two new sets because of the missing flamers alone.

The only time they care about replacing individual parts, is in the larger kits. For small stuff it's easier to just replace the whole thing.
