So, no one posted these?

They have in the 40th birthday post as these aren't FW.

That ball doesn't have spikes, time to burn down Nottingham with our rage.

Corax face looks odd to me.... I like the rest of that model, bit the face is off putting to me.

Atia also stated the next IA is tau vs red scorpions (again????) and legio gryphonnicus.

One of these days I'm going to wake up and all the other badab war characters/chapters (and korvydae) and will have updated FAQ/rules. The following day, the new space marine codex will be released.....

I thought the next IA was Adeptus Mechanicus?

Doesn't look like it (Cheers BattleBunnies):


Is that a Leviathan Dreadnought?!




40k Imperial Kharibdys? Really?

Maybe they finally.realized chaos.only kharybdis aren't.selling well?

Any word on an estimated release date for the (presumably updated) Istvaan Legions book or the AL Headhunters?

Ditto on the presumably Solar Auxilia / Questoris Knights red book!

Anyone else notice that the old sabre tank hunter model is behind those 2 new red books?

Yeah if it really is just Red Scorpions, that's a big zzzzzzz.....

Corax looks really good painted.

Alongside the Spartan and Vindicator - who would have thought they still have them? I miss the Baneblade though...

I never did like any of the Tau suits forgeworld made. These are no different. =/

THat mastadon is not what I had in my head for the missing tank variant.

They kind of are, as SGS and FW are all apparently being blended together.

Headhunters are a bit dull on poses but still...
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It seems like the legs and arms are the plastic ones so the poses will be fairly easy to sort.

Oh yeah, looks like you are right. Problem solved.

I know, I really want to see the rest of what was there that didn't make it into that picture. I'm very curious as to exactly what the "Crusade Imperialis" book will be. Will it be a bid red book with updated lists for Solar Auxilia, Knights, and the Legions? I think that would end up being a "must-buy" if they put all three in there.

I think Red Scorpions do need a bit of an update, though. Their chapter tactics are a bit lacking. I've always felt a better implementation of their use of Apothecaries would be to basically copy the Legion Apothecary entry, where you buy 1-3 of them as an Elites choice and then plop them into whichever squads you want.

-Darren Parwood is working on a new knight (A Heavy variant - Castellan like).

I didn't see this tidbit anywhere above, but the rest is repeat information.

Now that is awesome news for an Imperial noble like me.

Natfka had a slightly better pic of the Alpha Legion...

Interesting that the AL are all holding double barrel bolters. Don't they'd assemble a full unit with combi weapons so I wonder if these are a new mark?

Headhunter Kill Team, perhaps?

Must be, they each feature what looks like an acog (COD don't fail me now...) scope too which I haven't seen from FW/GW before

I love the shoulder pads on those AL guys.
Feels like those weapons are a new combi bolter mark. You don't see a lot of combi weapons with the scope like they have.

Yes I know they're available- if you'd read my post, you'd note the "don't see a lot of those" part

More so given that the underslung part isn't flamer / plasma / melta

I hope their weapons get some decent rules besides just being a TL bolter. Seems pointless having them otherwise.

The rules for them are already out. They're in book 3.
