So which warehouse worker is going to get fired for selling multiple stolen GW products weeks in advance of its shipping date to retailers? Not only was this moron dumb enough to sell product well before anyone outside the warehouse has access to it but he was selling it well below the msrp and shipping it via eBay before the product even goes up for preorder. If GW doesn't fire someone at the warehouse for this I'll be surprised.

Link?

I'm guessing the technical gem paints are either just very glossy clear paints, or some sort of paint that creates little cells over its surface so it looks like a faceted gem.

Really curious for a picture of the effect though.

They've already got a clear red technical paint for blood, so presumably the red gem one will have to do something else?

Rules... For shipping containers...


Dear Lord...



They're pretty, though.

I'm kind of on the fence about rules.

I think that it's likely just them bringing in rules from existing sources(Cities of Death/Stronghold Assault) and making it so that you don't have to say "We're playing Cities of Death" or "We're playing Stronghold Assault".

I’ve used BftBG over metallics before, and while I enjoy the results, I’d not describe them as “gem-like” At least in the sense of how GW has been telling us how to paint gems for years.

(Of course, I did use it for gems, among other things. But I’m a lazy painter)

I am looking forward to seeing how the new paints look. Technical paints are great for mediocre guys like myself.

About those bases, any indication somewhere that the design will continue to other bases so we can have a cohesive look to our army?

Or is cohesiveness for the weak?

After some thought I'm betting that the gem paints are nothing more than the old ink paints, if that's the case, they're nothing special.

That's pretty much what their shades are already. Maybe they're experimenting with the medium they're using?

I, for one, would love to get my old “Blue Ink” back.

That new-fangled Drakenhoff(?) Nightshade just isn’t the same.

eBay is actually how we found out about the revamped paints with new names a couple years ago.

The current Shades are no different than the Washes they had a few years ago. The Ink paints are circa 4th edition - they came in the old school bolter shell pots. The old Ink paints were more of a high gloss glaze.

Is it just me..... or would those shipping containers possibly look good for the basis of a non-ridiculous looking StormRaven conversion?

Immagine the shipping container with a StormTalon cockpit on the from, Storm Raven wings, and Valkyrie engines, landing gear, and tail.

So I am willing to bet the Promethium Barrels do something like reroll wounds for Flamers or add Torrent to flamers. It is kinda neat that the shipping containers come with Storm bolters. I would laugh if they were basically Drop Pods without Drop Pod Assault.

Ehhh...they're likely going to be "Mysterious Terrain" with either Promethium Barrels or Supply Caches inside.

Well, yeah, rules. Otherwise how would you know how the official rule for how they block line of sight? Make it up?

Anarchy!

Nice containers. Must have lots.

It's interesting to see that 32mm Imperialis bases match perfectly the 25mm and 40mm bases that I have been building using oop Imperialis Basing kit, including the thin edge-of-no-details.

We haven't seen it all yet. The text on the left refers to Large Base Detail Kit. Pics please!

Regarding the bolded. That is simply the topdown view of the smooth beveled edge that is on all gw bases.

Well better rules be in there then nothing at all. its a free bee. not much to really complain about.

Eh, rules for LOS blockers sounds silly BUT we all know red barrels explode! So splodey rules could be fun and make them risky cover. And Storm bolters on the bawkses, because why not?

Storm Bolters?
So how do they stack the containers if there are SBs on them?

And all the wasted space for cargo with the non squared shape.
The arches on top were enough to get the 40k look.
Making the bottoms have tapered sides moved it into stupid territory.

I would have liked a crate/barrel set all on its own. like the one that had pallets included that they had back a few years ago.

Must...be...gothic....

Light it up! Light it up!

I don't know if I will by multiples, but I will have at least one set.

I like them a lot.

I don't know. They seem like they will be a little more than just that due to the Storm Bolters. But who knows. I know I will be getting a set for some more battlefield terrain. Some Quake Cannon Craters and some Crates and whatnot will make some great combinations.

I'm surprised the crates don't have melee weapons, TBH. Maybe one of the polish companies could do an add-on.

Instead of storm bolters the Chaos ones have combi-bolters with bayonets.

Also you'd better pay for the shipping insurance because the crates have a tendency to eat the contents.

Take the storm bolters off?

I would assume that they're just fitted as required to the containers on the top of the stack, rather then being a permanent fixture.

And all the wasted space for cargo with the non squared shape..

That's a fairly common issue with scifi shipping containers... The square box is more functional, but ultimately doesn't look as sexy or futuristic on the table.

This is one of those places I'm more than happy to trade function for form, and go with what looks cool on the table.

My brass and copper colors in both Vallejo and Citadel have all gone wiffy, so probably grabbing those, and I'll give the new technicals a go, because I likes my FX stuff.

Can't think of too many applications for a gloss wash, anyone?

As usual there are photos on the spikey bits forums. The washes are for keeping metallics shiny according to the blurb. The following week is crates, broodlord clam pack (Lord of the brood) and enginseer clampack (master of machines) according to the hint.

The one that up until now has only been available with his own pet Leman Russ tank?

Ghaz, you ninja Would be really awesome though. Basic Russ is kinda useless and by themselves the Engineseers go for like 25 quid without postage :(

I like them, a lot. My dreams of a space port table come closer to reality.

I just wish they were bigger, I'd love a container that could carry a chimera or rhino.

And rules

OMG random chart for what you find, machine spirit for the storm bolters, chance of exploding from a penetrating hit... the mind boggles how stupid this could get.
