**ImAGeek**

Yesssss about time.

**Peregrine**

Sigh. It's a good thing I don't have any money right now or my "I'm only buying OOP stuff to finish my collection" policy would be really tested by those sniper marines. If I were to make a 30k army it would be Raven Guard, but I'm not. I'M NOT SO STOP MAKING THOSE MODELS FW.

**Slayer-Fan123**

Those helmets would be sexy for some Sternguard. And a Lias-counts-as.

**Ashiraya**

Those are very, very, very cool.

**Bobthehero**

The entire squad would make good Sternguards, if you're playing RG

Or any of their Successors...like, say, Raptors.

Which I have been working on a force for.

**ImAGeek**

So I'm guessing that means the Solar Auxilia Medicae Detachment will be released today (because we saw photos of them in White Dwarf about a week ago) and the Mor Deythan will be next week.

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.

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.

I've already sent the usual massive annotated email with all the problems I found. I told them that I got 15 plasma, 15 melta and 0 flamers. 13 of the meltas were miscast, so they can either replace the 10 flamers and 8 meltas, or I'd be happy for them to replace just the 13 meltas.

In the past I've never received whole kits for replacement parts, and that includes blisters of weapons packs.

No.... http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/New

a Knight it is today ...

and a free model for every knight bought

**zedmeister**

That is a thing of beauty.

That Graviton Singularity Cannon...

**nudibranch**

That is a sexy knight, really like the colour sceme they've gone for. Also love the design on the guns.

**Peregrine**

Wow. Did NOT see that one coming. And if they're willing to reveal a knight we hadn't heard one word about before today as a random friday release then just imagine what they must have to show off this weekend at the open day.

As for the rules, that thing is just plain nasty. All the firepower of the melta cannon knight with a melee D-weapon that can also be a shooting D-weapon, with a flare shield to keep it alive.

**BrookM**

Holy gak.

**Rick_1138**

I am going to the open day for Golden Demon on the Sunday....can but hope there are a few interesting things to straing the wallet a bit.

Those Raven Guard Snipers better be on early release

and a lot of them for us sunday folks.

**Temujin**

That Knight is painted to perfection. The free guy on the other hand has some alternate pictures with... less than awesome paint jobs.

**Hanskrampf**

Wow, both the knight and the pilot are outstanding.

**ImAGeek**

Okay, that Knight has blown me away.

**nerdfest09**

I just really really want the bare head from the Raven Guard! :-) go ya halvsies?

**Fireball**

I do not care about Knights, but the paintjob on that one is great ... FW has improved their paintwork ...

**beast_gts**

Anyone know where the "Occular augmetics" rules are?

Probably a Mechanicum rule.

Found it in Conquest :-)

Ya it improves rolls on the D table and vehicle damage table at very close range, as well a night vision.

**Crazyterran**

Might be better than the Lancer at killing SH GMCs that aren't the WraithKnight. Heck, might be better if it gets a little lucky.

Though, a one in six chance of making its main gun a strength D shot isn't bad...

Pretty awesome paint job, at least.

**CragHack**

It was announced maybe a month ago or so. They showed it's head in some newsletter.

**notprop**

Wow, I really like that Scion. Has some real old skool GW character in him.

Now need to convince the Mrs to buy me a knight for Christmas, before 12th Nov...................

**AndrewGPaul**

Ever since they stopped selling Necromunda miniatures, there's been a sad lack of flamboyant handlebar moustaches. This chap is rather brilliant.

**Kanluwen**

I want that Scion.

But I don't want a Knight. Grrr, quandries.

**Tannhauser42**

I've been waiting for this to come out ever since we saw the teaser for it so I could decide which of the knights to get for my Mechanicum. I'm glad I waited. I do wish the lascutter had a 12" range to match it's charge range, but it's still sexy.
