Looks like a Chainfist, but I might be wrong.

The only* (thus far, with the info we have*) dissapointment for me is that the UM character seems based upon exactly the same body as the Terminator Sgt. The Word Bearers get a full on unique character sculpt.

I don't think it is, the armours all different, he has a cloak. The Terminators are a full kit, it just happens the sergeant has been built in a similar pose to the UM character.

Good spot, confirmed now we have the close up pictures. Oddly similar poses though. Kurtha Sedd looks amazing.

Release Date is 12:01 am on Nov. 14th and it's 150 dollars in the US.

Been digging back through to try and find it, but has it been confirmed yet if its a limited release or a constant stock product?

Hoping its not limited but hey ho.

Yep, Regardless of what happens to the rest as and when I get a box, he's going straight into my Word Bearers skirmish warband, with suitably chaosy headswap... and if I ever revisit my Dark Angels, I know where the Interrogator Chaplain is coming from... and you could get a pretty badass Inquisitor with some conversion too... Yeah, in short, I hope these boxes stay on general release and get parted out cheaply on ebay, as I'm going to need multiple copies of Sedd and possibly the UM guy too if he's easy enough to convert...

From reading the first pages - Thank you very much, GM - the following can be confirmed

- Two-sided game tiles
- Tactical points (used to move and shoot with the models)
- Symbols on dice are Hit, Critical hit, Shield (word for word translation)
- Event cards
- A 6 mission campaign

I think this is how 99% of buyers are going to play this game.

GW will then think "wow, good reaction to this board game, let's make more board games!" and totally fail to realize 99% of people buying it are only doing so for Horus Heresy miniatures...

Actually they say something along these lines pretty often, emphasizing that you can and should use these minis in both 30k and 40k

The pages which actually deal with one of the board game scenarios are pretty hard to read but I will look what I can get from it.

I think the sprues look too detailed on the marines and terminators for this to only be a limited release.



Might be wrong though.

As long as those boardgames start with "B" and end with "lood Bowl", they can release all they want.

I eagerly await the release of "Boy I bet you wish this was Blood Bowl".

Wasn't that the Assassins board game?

Hmmmmm. Is it just me, or do those tiles look really sexy? I'm pretty pumped about those hex tiles. I wonder how much space they cover...

I think what's shown in the pictures might be it.

And Dreadfleet?

4 tiles with rooms on both sides. There are also barrier tiles you will put into the rooms.

Dreadfleet was "Man O' Man I bet you wish this was that other game we did once upon a time about fantasy naval War"

Which books do I need to play? The Horus Heresy Legion Astartes Gamers Collection, or The Isstvan Trilogy. I'm thinking of going Dark Angels and they don't have a dedicated book yet.

Forge World

They use the same core rules as 40k but with some changes to composition and different army lists.

It's great to see the dread comes with multiple weapons options.

Bah you beat me to it zedmeister, thanks!

Just the Legiones Astartes crusade army list book then. Everything else covers other legions. The rules for Dark Angels will be in book 6 when that's released.

And now, seeing the plastic Contemptor right next to a resin one (blinged out Emperor's Children version), and I continue to think to myself, "What the feth is everyone's problem with it?"

Monopose? Okay, I can sympathize with that, but other than that? Not seeing why people act like it's terrible.

Most people aren't acting like it's terrible, just saying that it's not as good as they expected and/or hoped for, due to the monopose legs and the sacrifices in detail made for the sake of fewer parts.

Unfortunately, most negative comments these days immediately get taken as 'hating', and it's impossible for someone to dislike aspects of something without being apoplectic with rage.


In a set that includes multi-part marines and multi-part terminators, the decision to build such a basic kit for the dreadnought is a weird one, and it lets the kit down. If it had been included in a Dark Vengeance-style starter with push-together miniatures, it wouldn't have looked so out of place.
