lAnd now I kind of want to make a 30K Blood Angels army using the BaC boxed set. They look useful nice in Mk IV armor.

They do seem a bit odd, but a big vehicle does need some close defense weapons. What I want to know is how they painted them. That blue glow is wonderful.

I'm guessing turquise, light sky blue-ish tone, white, layer it on gently and you'll get something quite similar quite easily.

I'm thinking they would look a bit better if there was some sort of servitor gun platform in the front, and maybe a walking platform or something. Would give a nice 'industrial machine on tracks' kind of feel:

When does the X-Mas puzzle usually show up, a week before X-Mas?

Ooh I had forgotten about those, thanks for reminding me/us! Hmm I can't remember (and can't be bothered to find the FW thread at the time either...) but it must be soon now. I hope they do one, always a bit of amusement.

It's usually around the same time people start complaining about the increase in newsletters from Forge World.

Forgive me in advance, but is there an update coming for the Horus Heresy books? I only ask because I was thinking about ordering them but if FW was about to update them i might hold off till the new edition. thanks.

I'm still waiting on them to do a FAQ for book IV and V damn it, the psyker still doesn't have a point cost listed!

I'm betting it is Corax.

Got the new doom of mymeara, corsairs are SOLID, new wraithknight and titans are simply obscene in regards to capability per point, and they removed the stats for every imperial guard vehicle and the campaign missions in the back.

If my primary army wasn't corsairs I would consider asking for my money back...

Battlescribe claims its 35 pts base, which sounds about right.

The Istvaan Legions red book is sold out right now anyways. When I emailed to ask about it, FW stated that another print run was being done, but that they didn't expect it in time for Christmas. Whether that means they're also updating at the same time... is anyone's guess.

Didn't they do this because all (or almost all) of the IG dataslates were consolidated into IA1, 2nd ed?

It'll go Corax, then Alpharius, then Dorn.

But, really, Alpharius could be any one of them. Or any of the other, already released ones. Or just Astartes #3 from the left, over there.

Yeah, I would bet the miniature would be based on his ceremonial armor that is depicted in HH III.

But didn't you know that [Product X] is on sale right now? Don't worry if you do though, 'cause I'll remind you in an hour.

That's what they want you to think...

*Sigh* And this is how long strings of posts saying "I AM ALPHARIUS!" get started and then I have to post "Am...am I Alpharius?".

I can't say for sure that I am NOT Alpharius.

But anyway, I agree that making a special model for Alpharius does take away from the anonymity of the Alpha Legion, but then again, there is never a guarantee that the guy in the armor is actually Alpharius.

Whoever wears this upcoming shirt will be the one:

I'm sure Alpharius did also have more ceremonial armours and stuff, there would have been times he needed it, or needed someone else to wear it. I'd rather they made a really cool model for Alpharius than just use a normal guy or have a really plain model for him.

Yeah, me too!

His rules pretty much have both. He is a regular guy until you want him to be the ceremonial armored version.

That's fine, but there is no reason to remove the actual missions for the campaign. They also didn't make Odon a tank commander, they kept him as a foot slogging command squad leader. He should be in a tank. He's the high commander for the 6th armored regiment, he leads the soldiers in tank maneuvers in the field, he should be in a friggin tank

They also missed the boat in regards to mark of the wulfen. New fluff says Bran Redmaw's great company are the only ones accepting them, and for some reason they didn't throw people who owned them a bone with some statistical love.
