Good for regular Nids too would be awesome.

I would think it would play as Cultists sucker the opposing force to the fray and 'pop' here come the Stealers on the flanks!!!

GW actually putting symbols on the 6 now?!?

Might actually buy a set!

Where are you getting this? Would be awesome...

Some leak info, its someone in this topic. But you can go to Faeit 212 or Bols and find it out aswell.

Those are two rumour red flags you just mentioned. I am convinced someone at bols works at GW. That is the only way to explain how they manage to get things wrong so often. Random guesses would be better.
I am looking forward to this. The idea of another army getting access to looted vehicles sounds great.

I thought the prices was released to district owners and it was just a copy and past of that (for this GSC release) https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m1sy0dLeMvc/V-BAaXDWMlI/AAAAAAABHfc/ZcN_OMYAgbMrOTJshm1eGolPK_eXd6B6wCLcB/s1600/releaselist.PNG

With ideas like that, I'm surprised they haven't gotten rid of painting, just because Little Timmy can't match the efforts of the studio painters (degraded as their output has been in recent years). I expect they'll eventually do away with art in their books altogether and replace it all with shots of the miniatures, the new Traitor's Hate and Blood Angels stuff is certainly a step in that direction with its utter lack of any creativity, instead aping specific models. I half expect to start seeing mould lines and bases in their so-called 'illustrations'.

Just watched the release video for the cult. Do you guys think this might be a pic of the "limo" rumors have been talking about? Didn't see the pic in the thread, but if I missed it sorry for the repost.

Yeah they took the worst option. They couldn't consider something as radical as discouraging other companies by making superior products...

Spoiler:

Yeah that's exactly it. As far as I know no one has confirmed a GSC vehicle much less an armored car or limo, but the old armored limos from RT days are fondly remembered and including this vehicle in the art strongly implies it's coming. As many have noted GW these days does not show something unless they sell it.

You say that like it's a good thing.

Are there any good 40k-scale stencils/transfers that people could use to put "L.I.M.O.S" on these vehicles?

Any Limo GW release will probably not have that classic look.

The existence of third party 'Limos' probably means GW will go a different, post CH IP protected, route.

A Taurox variant would be pretty cool.

Twas but a joke. In all sincerity, though, I doubt GW will cater to your very specific want, and you'll be trawling bitz sites for those heads. Which will no doubt be popular and be used by everyone anyway. Press-moulding or sculpting onto other heads is your friend, methinks. Fairly easy to do.

I thought vic minis did seperate goggles....bald heads...

This is a pleasing development. I know a few people at the club who would love to get their scything talons on this.

While I'm of the opinion that there are enough factions in the game (imperial that is, we could always do with more xeno), I would quite like an Adeptus Arbites release like this (More for Kill Team games - I wouldn't expect to see them in main 40K as they are really just police)

It's an excuse to use some Judge Dredd models to be fair

Heresy Minis would be suitable for 3rd/4th gen genestealer cult guys. Namely the trenchcoat gangers.

Arbites as a micro faction in plastic would be sublime. Though I have just converted a whole pile from ugly Chaos Marines...

I'd like to see those if you have pics.

Looks like I am the only one to miss this. Where is this link? I have been following the thread here and see no mention of the symbol being on a 6 except for someone WISHING it. There are no rumours to the symbol on a 6 to my knowledge. Also I didn't see it on BoLS or Faeit either. If you see a link please share it.

I think it might be wishlisting as all the other dice sets that GW have done for recent releases have had the symbol on a 1

True, but the number 1 complaint about GW's dice is that the icon is on the 1 spot instead of on the 6 spot. The number 2 complaint about GW's dice is often that the icon is on the 1 spot instead of on the 6 spot. The number 3 complaint about GW's dice is that "I wanted to buy them, but the icon is on the 1 instead of on the 6 spot, like it's supposed to be."

So, it doesn't take much to figure out what small change would increase the sales of their dice.

Given the previous set of Nid dice had symbols on the '1's, I'm guessing the new dice will also. If it's a remotely similar symbol, mixing the two sets could get real confusing, real fast!

Big daddy walker?

Holy gak. That is awesome

I think that's one of those big fethers from the boxed game, but instead of a power pick or hammer, it has a saw.

Is that an hybrid holding a huge circular saw? Looks like it's really going the mining/industrial way.

Many talks about the old limo, but haven't seen any link to 3rd party retailers. Wargame exclusive has some neat ones

It looks like one of the 1st/2nd generartion stealers with a saw

How do yall think genestealers will play? I only have nids right now, and theyre the only other race that even intrigues me.

Yeah it looks like an Acolyte holding a 2-handed saw, in both of it's left arms. Probably going to have a melee profile very similar (if not identical to) a killsaw or a chainfist. Sx2, AP2, armorbane, unwieldy, specialist weapon. Probably a 25 or 30 pt upgrade. Just speculating. Can't wait for someone to get the codex and start leaking all the goodies!
