Well got my box today from preorder and... I have 2 of Geigor and no Ahriman. Everything else is there though. :(

hmm, that's two mistakes I've heard of so far, though this one sees a lack rather than extras. I guess though, you'll have two Geigors after GW send you the replacement so that's a plus That claw is wicked sweet and a bit I'll be picking up a few more of online or in trading.

Guy at my FLGS opened his and had 10 Tartaros Termies. But no Custodes. Works out well for me as I'm gonna buy the terminators off him and GW SHOULD send him the missing Custodes.

Do you get replacements sent? That could be abused

Hopefully isn't. If people start abusing GW might just stop being so good at customer service. One of the best parts of the company. Would be pity if selfish gits would ruin it for others.

Well you have to do it through the LGS you bought it from. But Dark Sphere helped when I had problems with the 1 of the 10 boxes of Overkill that had missing bits.

Oh, we're captioning it?

Jeez, GW is not displaying a good amount of quality control regarding what models are supposed to end up in the box. That has me worried since I already had an issue with Eldrad missing from my Death Masque. I don't want to find that I am missing stuff from Burning of Prospero and make it look like I am abusing the system.

**EnTyme**

That's why I always open my packages in the FLGS.

I wish I was that lucky.

So now I am trying to figure out what I actually want to do for my Imperial Fists army. Part of me wants to do with Hammerfall Strike Force and run two 15-man Tactical Squads. The other part of me wants to do the Stone Gauntlet and run two 10-man Breacher Squads. Since Alexis Polux's Deep Strike ability gets taken away in the Stone Gauntlet, I might leaning toward the Hammerfall Strike Force. Another option would be to do a Pride of the Legion, since I am running two Veteran Tactical Squads, but that kinda makes the Tactical blobs pointless.

Custodes #1: "Behold! The Throne of Terra!"

Custodes #2: "The Throne of Terra!"

Serf Minion: "It's only a model..."

Custodes #1 & 2: "Shhhh!"

In WD November 2016 (Page 50) the Designer says "I also Sculpted loads of Tiny Prosperan Glyphs and Icons on his Armour, Including a TINY TZEENTCH SYMBOL. Im not going to tell you where it is though, you'll have to find it yourself!"

Now in the Artwork behind the Text, the Tzeentch symbol is located on Ahrimans Right Leg (our Left)
Is it Located in the same place on the Model?

Think so yeah. It is tiny though, quite hard to make out.

**Fireball**

You got me a little worried here regarding missing sprues. Will Not be able to pick up my box from a UPS store until tomorrow and I will be extremely disappointed if Ahriman or Custodes stuff is missing.

Looks like we will be getting the reasons for the Custodes leaving the inner palace at some point next year then. My money is on something to do with the Imperial webway. Off course it could be a thrilling account of what its like to guard a corpse in the centre of the most heavily defended building in the Imperium

I reckon it'll be due to the golden throne breaking down.

No one else you could really trust to go out and do X/Y/Z to stop or slow this from happening.

This way they can leave the palace but still be "defending" the Emperor.

**Warhams-77**

This makes sense and the throne failing to work has been teasered to happen in the rulebooks' 40k fluff since 5th edition. It would be a good '1-minute closer to midnight'-scenario.

One of the other upcoming novels seems to be related (text from a link posted by Reds8n in the BL thread)

The Carrion Throne (Vaults of Terra) by Chris Wraight

Due for release May 2017 in hardback, so once again this could be the main release date or there could be an advance, Limited Edition release as well.

Inquisitor Erasmus and his acolyte Spinoza root out a shadowy conspiracy on Holy Terra itself, the capital world of the Imperium.

In the hellish sprawl of Imperial Terra, Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Erasmus serves as a stalwart and vigilant protector, for even the Throneworld is not immune to the predations of its enemies. In the course of his Emperor-sworn duty, Erasmus becomes embroiled in a dark conspiracy, one that leads all the way to the halls of the Imperial Palace. As he plunges deeper in the shadowy underbelly of the many palace districts, his investigation attracts the attention of hidden forces, and soon Erasmus and his acolyte Spinoza are being hunted – by heretics, xenos, servants of the Dark Powers, or perhaps even rival elements of the Inquisition itself. They eventually discover a terrible truth, one that if allowed to get out could undermine the very fabric of the Imperium itself.

Regarding the BoP boxed game is there anywhere a thread about tactics for the game? I mean what weapons are optimals for playing the game?

Its however you model your guys if you bought it just for the game. That's why the stat sheets list all the weapon options.

Use heavy bolters, roll d10s, win game, put game away.

it would be even better if the rules allowed for the Imperial Fists Legion.

But alas, maybe we will get our due in a Phall or Defense of Terra game.

Phall was a space battle so probably not.. GW hasn't supported BFG in decades, why start now. Unless you do the part where they teleport onto Perturabos ship and all die.

Or the part where they steal one of the IW cruisers. Ship based battles with corridors and whatnot is what I would envision. Defense of Terra would be cool as well.

I'm hoping we get Imperial Fists (and Iron Warriors) as a postscript to the Horus Heresy games, as a campaign game set on Sebastus IV.

**StupidYellow**

Was there any battles which were large scale boarding actions?

Kinda like Space Hulk but on a bigger scale?

That could be used for a boxed game.

**Ratius**

Battle of Phall was one.

Potential Zone Mortalis rules for a board game?

Zone Mortalis is acutally super fun but it's such a pain to get a board and find people to play that over regular 30k/40k.

Are the throne and the webway still linked or was that just during the HH? A failing throne giving Chaos a secret backdoor into the heart of the palace would be very bad news for the Imperium.

We somewhat have that now. We have small 300-400 point per side armies and small card board playing surfaces with bottle necks and what not.

However, I like how you think!
