Nice model, lovely centrepiece, massively impractical for an average 30k game!

Looks like the landing pad may (finally) make an appearance.

Nothing released today, just your standard "buy a Titan" spiel.

**Shandara**

According to FW propaganda, only the Imperium has titans!

**casvalremdeikun**

EDIT: God damnit, PHRASING.

That is one big model. Totally not even on my radar.

+++ This is Servitor station 847/628. Ident verified. Scanning your vessel now.

Due to ongoing xenos incursions, be advised that all Stormbirds are being rerouted to primary landing pads in Sector Alpha-Five. Proceed with caution; expect heavy enemy fire enroute +++

**VeteranNoob**

Gotta get me some DG dice! They'll still suck, since they are coming out of my hands, but they'll look cool doing so. At least the symbols are on 6s now

**BrookM**

Well, chances of them releasing Solar Auxilia dice will probably be slim to nil anyway.

**Ratius**

Cooler if they had put a marine popping out of one of the Stormbird top hatches waving.

**AllSeeingSkink**

I like the name of the Stormbird. I can picture the meeting...

FW employee 1: "So what are we calling the new Space Marine flyer?"

FW employee 2: "Well it's Space Marine, so it has to start with something related to inclement weather, like Thunder- or Storm-.... then the second half has to be bird related"

FW employee 1: "Ok, the Stormbird it is!"

**Hulksmash**

Ohhh, I'm excited for Dice. I'm hoping we see some Iron Warrior ones!

Where did you find those ShaneTB?

**Uriels_Flame**

Wheres the thunder chicken? Please add the 'not' Ford logo too!

That meeting would have had to have pre-dated FW by quite a few years though, right?

Yeah the Stormbird has been in the fluff for a long long time.

Someone has since found them on their Facebook page.

I found them clicking around on the Warhammer Fest site (where I saw the event shirt too): http://warhammerworld.games-workshop.com/2016/05/05/knight-errant-tylos-rubio-and-more-at-warhammer-fest/

**gorgon**

They talked about those dice back during the FW Weekender, IIRC. I might be down for WE dice whenever they get released.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

from the GW newsletter:

We can also announce that Games Workshop’s newly appointed Middle-earth team will be showcasing their projects at Warhammer Fest.

AND you'll get First Access to formerly out-of- production products like all five The Lord of The Rings TM Sourcebooks and several absent Citadel miniatures! We're revealing more soon...

Ooooh. Those Sourcebooks are going to sell fast, and I imagine a ton will end up on Ebay.

Hopefully the public gets its first look at mounted Dain

Source books like added materials for the books and lore, etc?

Or their old rule books?

Since it says "out of production materials", it seems to be meaning the old rulebooks.

Guess they have saved it for the FW open day on 17th July? Debating on the Stormbird, I hardly use my Thunderhawk as it is.

So it was the Stormbird that led to the naming of the Storm talon, Storm Eagle, Storm Raven? That's really not a hell of a lot better

Yeah, it'd stand to reason that they're holding that and the updated CAL book for the Open Day.
