Wow you got it super early.

Any chance of telling us some more stuff from the book?

Armour values, HP and points of the vehicle would be nice! Need to know if I need one for Kill Team.

Can't remember the exact points
But other than 2 new vehicle, there are few more from IG

And does everything except genestealers count as hybrids?

Do preorders from the GW website typically arrive before or after the street date?

And to Davor, I'm sorry I shamed you earlier. It wasn't intentional. I just assumed that by destroying so many foul vehicles of the imperium how they work should be old hat.

I usually just get preorders shipped to my local GW. Free shipping, and I get it on the day of release. Those few times I've preordered and had stuff come to the house, it's usually over a week after. Caveat to that, I'm a couple thousand miles from Memphis, where they ship from, so if you were closer, it wouldn't be such a wait.

I remember, years ago, when they'd ship early and try to time it so that you'd get your preordered stuff on, or as close as they could manage, to release day. I even got some a day or two early, once or twice. Those were good times.

Thanks. Just had a game of 40K, and I can't believe how hard a time I have with the rules. Thank god I have great players who just guide me through it over and over again.

Gah, I just pre-ordered. So I will not get it on release day? I have to wait? Hope it doesn't come on Monday, will not be home so hoping it comes this week early, or looks like I will have to wait almost 2 weeks for it. Gah.

That new truck is definitely going to be bought for anyone that wants a Taurox but doesn't want to put the worm in to make it look nice.

@Tyranid607: Nice! So any big surprises or things that would excite folks that hasn't been hinted yet? (Wondering if I can finally dust off my old Iron Warrior Basilisk).

those unit releasing next week, but I am not sure about Aberrants, I just remember it cost 30pts per model
Aberrants and one of the new tank should come 2 weeks later

So you read the book super early but can't remember anything at all about one of the only totally unknown parts of it? Come on..

I'm one of the few who likes the look of the Taurox - it reminds me of our good old meaty Mastiff APC, at least from the front:



Still, the Goliath is pretty awesome, and would make for a good IG or Ork vehicle too

The big suprise is it will be very expensive to build a army as most of the troops are just 6/8-13pts
a box of Neophyte Hybrids which cost £25 is merely 100pts, and so do Metamorphs and Acolyte

Whats the unit size for Purestrain Genestealers? Those are expensive at 15pts a pop.

Are wyvern and hydra in the codex ? thanks.

What's the capacity of the truck and points? Does that mean the hqs can't take it?

No , but you can use IG/Tyranids as ally of convenience

This is the biggest thing for me. Definitely want to know

I can't believe I missed all of this! It's great to see another old faction of the setting coming back. And that Goliath truck is amazing! It's great to finally have a small wheeled vehicle that isn't a ramshackle Ork design.

I think it is 13pts, not really expensive if you consider it could remove the whole unit to ongoing reserve and re-enter as infiltrate
You can cross the table !

How does that actually work? What is on the chart they mention?

Stealers might become poor man's warp spiders.

Please post actual information instead of random vague things, it would make it all seem much more credible.

Feeding the troll, my friend - he still hasn't explained how exactly he got this codex so early and so conveniently the day it went on preorder

Rule no. 1, please, but yes, I may have got the scale slightly wrong there

the codex is out there for a few at least,

BoLS has got one as they've posted a video to facebook of them flipping through it (to fast to show anything interesting) and promised more during the week

All the warhammer store run directly by Gameworkshop has this book and unit including the tank in stock already
I just have a look of the dex, which I don't have it on hand
It explains why I have those dice

Believe it or not, the tank is going to release at Oct 8 and there is a big bundle of ultramarine boxset release too

Makes sense to me. Any quick hints about the cult ambush army rule? I've got a feeling it will allow gen stealers and hybrids to assault from reserves.

The thing is, you only gave information that was previously known (from overkill), or things that we can get from the video (moving to ongoing reserves, then coming back).

For people who haven't watched the video: there is an army wide rule that allows units to disappear from the table, and re-enter somewhere (rolling on a table each time apparently).
Also, Leman Russ and Chimera are in, as well as standard guardsmen (forgot if they mentioned the sentinel or not).
They also discuss some formations. Apparently a big one with genestealers + patriarch.

My apologies, just seemed a little fishy. That explains the level of information you're able to provide at the minute.

Still, appreciate your insight

I remember one of the formation gain those unit shrouded at first turn allow genestealer to place anywhere on table as infiltrate

And many of the unit get the special rule called "into the xxx" (can't remember) which allow them to remove the unit in your movement phase and court as ongoing reserve

That's why I deleted the info I post here before the release of video
I am not familiar with IG unit, but I don't think Chimera is in.
And there are 2 walker unit from IG in the dex
No standard guardsman in dex for sure, at the page before warlord traits table, it does mention you can use Tyranids / IG as allly
