I'm actually excited about that Campaign-Book and i don't share the bitterness that is clearly prevalent about that. And new psychic Powers? Let's hope Tzeentch, the God of magic will have actual 'Magic'.

HA! Love it.

A 'formation of formations' is a detachment, not a formation (e.g., the Decurion is a detachment).

Sad Panda? Where are yooooooooooou.

To be fair, Atia is equally as spot on rumours wise.

Yes. But she posts on B&C more.

CSM MFD will be all "3 of this unit" formations, probably. I would love a proper CSM update, though. There aren't enough CSM players.

Yeeeeeeah. But some insights for things to come would be nice.

For this point - I am confused about this new plastic Heresy box (does this about Prospero?) and if it's so - does it connected with Forge world release. And does it connected with autumn release of Fenris campaing?
Because there is a serious gap - Fenris - Autumn, 7th book Inferno - probably next February weekender.
All of this is somehow connected (or doesn't) by Tzeench but reeeeeally stretched in time.

Not to mention all these rumors about 8th edition which states that "No real codex release before it" - and 8th edition is something for next autumn.

To cut story short - I am confused.

Didnt sad panda say we would see a plastic Ahriman before Daemonic Magnus too.
So, I see a pattern.

Edit: Oh, nevermind, I guess that was a horus heresy Ahriman he mentioned.

There's quite a few, they just lurk in the Warp until the day they can fight the IoM properly lol.

And the prize for "non sequitur of the week" this week goes to...

So wait, is this Campaign Book the cover mount? As in, two clampack characters and a book?

I highly doubt there'll be 2 £20ish characters and a book free with a £6 magazine.

They did say it would be their best cover ever. Including even one character and a book would be a pretty good representation of that fact. At any rate, I am looking forward to the DW book and another character. Hopefully we will get a DW kill team detachment.

I thought the suggestion was this "amazing" cover mount was going to be the first issue of these new cheapo Warhammer comic books?

The cover mount of the first issue, September, is unknown. The second issue, October, will come with #0 of Titan's new comic series.

I wonder if the super special cover mount will be for 40K or AOS. I doubt it will be something usable by both. I really hope it is 40K.

The more I think about it, the less I think it will be the Chaos Campaign or Deathwatch.

Anything Daemon would work for both just fine.

A 'formation of formations' is a detachment, not a formation (e.g., the Decurion is a detachment).

Nope, Nightlord is referring to the steaming heap of dung that the Crimson Slaughter "update" gave us; a formation which was in turn made up of 1 of every single individual formation within the codex.
It's exactly the same thing as the Carnival of Pain formation from the Covens codex; it's still listed specifically as a formation - not a detachment, (so thus, no detachment bonuses), yet it is made up of 1x each individual formations from the codex.

That's about the level of effort CSM's players have come to accept is all we're going to get from GW.

What's even more laughable, is that we have confirmation about a new special character model coming, (and yet another Khornate model, because we surely don't have enough Khorne themed releases yet!), and meanwhile, we still don't have basic plastic heavy weapons outside of a gakky looking heavy bolter.

Gee, thanks GW.

Perhaps its the White Duardin in chibi style with stormcast armour.
Disclaimer: Im not trying to spread GW/AoS hate just find the name of the Magazine awkvard these days. I actually like AoS.

Good news, better than the usual: SM, SM, SM, SM, SM.

What do you think the OTHER faction of this Campaign book is going to be, huh?

Hehehe.

And this time I guess it'll be Blood Angels

Haven't seen the rules. Haven't seen the sprues unpainted. But I could swear Deathwatch will get access to some xenos gear. That sure looks like an green, ominously glowing Necron-style sword that one guy has.

Also a Captain/Master of the Watch (?) HQ type in a pose similar to new-Ulrik.

Doubtful. They are fighting Tyranids, not Chaos Space Marines.

Time for the Black Templars and Sisters of Battle to form a super team and kick butt for great goodness!

Oh, there will be more stuff than Artemis and the flyer?

Thanks for the infos!

Sad Panda had said something like three boxes; one of which was the flyer, and some blisters. He compared it to the Harlequins way back.

What can you say about Kharn?

Only then will I allow the end times to commence, the Imperium is without the righteous zeal duo of the Templars and Sisters.

Heh. I was flamed into next week for suggesting this a couple years ago.

I know the Grey Knights have investigated Xenos psykers before, but would Deathwatch ever be involved in a Daemon or Chaos threat?

Probably, Nightlord. Depends on what assets the IoM has to spare at the time, really.
