Missed this in the excitment:

Shame about the minimum £75 spend to get the voucher...

**Tannhauser42**

The Leviathan is nice, but that point cost..

Could take a Knight for not much more.

**Kanluwen**

When is the Wraithknight and the revised Eldar book gonna show up?

A buddy of mine is chomping at the bit for it.

**nudibranch**

Has there been any addendum to how Relic of the Armoury works seeing as MotF's don't exist anymore? Also, that's a pretty model...

**Vash108**

*gets out wallet* Just when I felt I had enough for my army.

This thing looks amazing to me. Hulking walker to sit almost mid field and just merc those foolish enough to get in it's line of fire.

**GAdvance**

Pretty sure theres a FAQ somewhere stating a techmarine fills the role now for motf

Also anyone noticed there's nothing preventing the 40k version getting in a FA slot drop pod but there is for the 30k one... shenanigans inbound

**Slayer-Fan123**

I'll send in suggestions for it to be 4 attacks base and letting use Chapter Tactics. For the point cost it should have such things available.

Do you have a link? I haven't seen it yet and really want to run my Fireraptor and sicaran together without having to keep agreeing it beforehand...

The leviathan is amazeballs. Really like the WBs scheme on it. This is what I have always imagined the ironclad to look like!

**shade1313**

I like it, and I want a few for my armies.

Love that dread. Looks excellent in the World Eaters and Raven Guard colours.

I think the red one is Word Bearers. Agreed, though - all 3 paint schemes on the site look great.

I think the model particularly suits the look of the Death Guard, so it's nice to see it in their colours font and centre.

there is pic of one in world eaters colours aswell:

With all that blood on the hand, where's the blood splatter on the rest of that pristine white armor?

**Zywus**

That WorldEater dread has the wrong numbering as well.
WE is the 12th legion. Fists are the 7th (VII).
Unless that number is meant to denote something else.

**angelofvengeance**

7th Chapter? Company maybe?

**aka_mythos**

I want that model. Pointwise it seems steep given how close it comes to Knight-liness.

Company designation on the right shoulder pad. Like this guy:

Blood Angels version?

I'm just waiting until we see the Cortus Dreadnought.

**Daston**

Looks awesome, not sure if it would be fluffy to use with SpaceWolves though.

Publicly it was mentioned at the most recent open day at the FW presentation. It is a "scrappy" dreadnought, smaller and more close combat oriented and will show up in the next big book.

The Rumor: I've only seen one person say this but on an another forum, from someone who claims to have spoken with one of the designers at the event, is that It's suppose to be predominantly Ravenguard and is effectively a dreadnought designed for orbital drop without a drop pod, with some degree of jump pack use.

Speculatively: it sounds like it jumps out of thunderhawks or stormravens from high altitude and lands by means of that jump pack as it seems like a big departure for it to be a true drop-pod-less drop. This seems to be a throwback to the original Rogue Trader dreadnought rules that allowed a jump pack on dreadnoughts.

**DarthDiggler**

Though pricey points wise in this era of haywire and grav-cannons, the model does look sweet.

**Yaraton**

**Januine**

those guns are lush.

**Slayer-Fan123**

The Leviathan Storm Cannon is fething sexy.

Honestly, both guns are. That Grav-Flux Bombard is just awesome over-the-top pulp gatling raygun coolness.
