Not quite sure why all Night Lords in that squad have a single red gauntlet though. Is that a chapter specific thing or have they all been marked for the Night Lord equivalent of censure?

That's the Sinner's Gauntlet - it means they are marked to be executed by Curze for a crime commited by "traitors and fools"

THE WARRIORS OF PROSPERO ARE COMING!
There were once twenty Legiones Astartes. Two are lost to history, expunged from the Imperial records, and eighteen remained as The Horus Heresy began. So far Forge World has created unique upgrades of heads, torsos and shoulder pads for sixteen of the Legions, leaving only the Thousand Sons and Space Wolves to go.

This week I caught sight of more upgrades coming soon from the Forge World Studio, and they look fantastic. The warriors of Fenris might have to wait a little longer, but the sons of Magnus the Red are on their way!

Ah finally! I have been waiting for Thousand Sons stuff for so long now. While that fella does look a little lacking in details I think it works well for an average marine and the style they have gone with matches how I pictured it perfectly. Maximus armour as well which means it's gonna go really well with the HH box set.

I'm most looking forward to the special units and characters though. Maybe if I start saving up now I'll be able to afford the $180 Ahriman model...

Beats having to see the Imperial Army and their ilk being used as base decoration for a change.

I can only think of Curze with the Solar Auxilia on his base? The rest all have Marines or vehicles.

Just my luck that my two favourite chapters are last T_T

The Horus Heresy Legiones Astartes: Isstvan Campaign Legions red books are now unavailable!

**sierra 1247**

Ooh, could this mean a red book for all the legions?

Just leave him be. We'll end up with a bunch of moustache twirling infiltrators messing up our rituals...

Just an update with erratas and stuff I think. Maybe they'll put the UM in there too.

Crap...I just bought mine recently.

It's probably worth an e-mail to see what's up.

I'm pretty sure they mentioned it was being slight updated at some point at whatever event was last.

Well, it won't affect my WE. But the completist in me wishes I'd waited a few months.

Then again...these things are only going to get updated more in the future as other legions are covered. And my guys will almost certainly get some updates whenever the Shadow Crusade book hits.

It may affect our world eaters as the original 4 are supposed to be getting an update, hopefully free ceadre weapons for Rampagers and 10pts for everyone else.

**Mr. Grey**

I emailed Forge World and asked about the books, since I'd been planning on getting the Gamer's Collection(along with everyone else, apparently). Here's what they said:

**Peregrine**

Anyone want a really huge gun?

**Januine**

ooohhhhhh - The Cogboys' Ordinatus.......yummmmy!

**Hanskrampf**

The sponson weapons look out of place. But the Mechanicus vehicles are generally not to my taste.

**zedmeister**

Dear lord, it is beautiful!

**BrookM**

IT IS GLORIOUS.

**Looky Likey**

Ordered one as a Christmas present to myself, just hope they don't release anything I want next week as well.

Completely impractical on the average table in a nomal as it has a massive footprint but it'll be fun to play with regardless.

**ImAGeek**

Looks amazing. Although, it doesn't look that big for the price.

**zedmeister**

When I do finally field one, I will have an overwhelming desire to bark out "Charge capacitators for firing!"

The front section is almost as big as a plastic LR, the back section is around the same size as a Spartan, its a big beast.

**zedmeister**

For the rules, the thing is devastating. You place the 7" template directly in front and move it in a direct straight line right across the table for 72" and anything touched by it is hit, including aircraft. Also, the bigger the target, the higher the strength of the hit. For example, infantry are hit with Str:5, vehicles, Str:8, Tanks with Str:10 and Superheavies with Str: D! Add in armourbane, Instant Death and Ignores cover for flavour with Volkite Culverins to shred infantry are you're golden.

**BrookM**

It's a whopping 1075 pts as well, meaning that outside of really, really big games, or those using the Leviathan force organisation chart, it's hard to field in games of 30k.

**Peregrine**

And don't forget that it's all AP 2, so even infantry are dying on a 3+ with no armor or cover saves. Honestly it's probably overpowered and not going to be much fun to play against with those rules, especially since it's pretty much invulnerable for the first turn or two and you won't be able to kill it before it wipes out your whole army.

Still, my DKoK want one. Replace the crew with DKoK models, give it a proper paint job and some nice weathering...

Right after I buy a Death Guard Contemptor and a bunch of Death Shroud.

Oh, well, knowing FW it'll probably be three to four years before it arrives in shop.

In 30k. Unfortunately you can take this thing in 40k games.
