Seriously, I am starting to think they tacked on a quarter for every time I asked them. At this rate, it will be about 2018 before I see them.

Well, at least you'll get some nice sheets at some point. I'm hoping for House Orhlacc transfers. Maybe...

That is a bummer. At least I have a little hope having seen a preview sheet. You likely will never get decals... or, judging by how the releases have been, you will get yours Monday. No preview necessary!

Correct. GW bills you in GBP, then your credit card company/paypal converts the price to your currency at whatever exchange rate they feel like using, along with whatever fees they feel like charging. Read the fine print on exactly what rate you're going to be getting and if there are any foreign transaction fees attached.

I believe you'll also get hit for your local state taxes nowadays. (which is bs, since the FW web prices also include 20% VAT, which they simply pocket as you're outside the UK)

Naw man, it is a FW House that they have painted their models already. The Cerastus Acheron is in those colors! Plus, it lets them sell those metallic paints too. And they did preview the stupid decals... there is just some holdup on them for some undisclosed reason. :(

They previewed Bran Redmaw, too, and he still isn't out after nearly 5 years.

Yeah, and he never will be.

True, but this is a 30k House. 30k gets allllllllllllllllllll the love. That is probably why Bran Redmaw never got released! FW was really getting the Heresy going about then. Why release 40k stuff when GW is doing a bangup job now? So I see maybe Fires coming out and not much else for 40k for a long time. But I might just be cynical.

All that being said, if they don't release the Vyronii decals soon I am going to go insane.

**Gamgee**

I want my new Tau titan that they hinted at in lore and out but granted it sounded far off. I want my tau super heavy tank, and it would be a nice cherry on top to get an updated Manta.

GW also makes terrible Tau flyers.

The sculptor wasn't happy with the model. Which is an unbelievably stupid excuse given the number of people saying "I want to buy this".

What? The KX139 Ta’unar Supremacy Armour hasn't even been out that long and your tiger shark's been redesigned all nice and pretty for you. At least let us Ork lovers have something nice to bring to the table. And don't say "looted" because that's just hurtful.

The sculptor made the right choice IMO. That model was well below the quality I expect from FW.

**H.B.M.C.**

Scuttlebutt for the weekender:

Secutarii Psiloi, fast attack.
Secutarii Hetairoi, elite.
Secutarii Hypaspists, elite.
Secutarii Heleposis, open topped transport (20 capacity).

Honestly don't know what the source is.

**Verviedi**

Yay! More AdMech stuff! Is this a sign of the incoming apocalypse?

Posted by Helterskelter on B&C:

Some new stuff from my rumour guy:
First some warnings
Not related Atia/vetnoob or whoever else gets hold of stuff early
Probably chan/some less desirable area of the Internet related
High sodium content

Some early rumours on what may be coming February 4th and 5th during the Horus Heresy Weekender 17.

Secutarii are a new branch of the Taghmata army list. Can never have automata in the detachement; big focus on infantry and transports.
Secutarii Psiloi, fast attack.
Secutarii Hetairoi, elite.
Secutarii Hypaspists, elite.
Secutarii Heleposis, open topped transport (20 capacity).

Cybernetica has new options.
Vidrios Caster Array, upgrade for Cybernetica HQs that allows counting as psyker.
Psy-Conduit upgrade, models gain FNP/FNP++ if a psyker is within 24"
Zetiark, female archmagos who developed with the Thousand Sons the crystalline circuits needed to control automata.

Thousand Sons
Sekhmet Terminators, elites that must pick a singular cult that radically alters their behaviour and/or statline.
Seshat Veterans, infiltrators tasked with securing artifacts and assassination from behind enemy lines.
Cataphraktos Psy-Automata, troops that a psyker within 24" must harness a WC to activate them until next turn.

Space Wolves
Hirdmen Veterans, fast attack with optional jump pack, combat shields and tons of melta/plasma weapons.
Varangian Great Guards Terminators, elites with two-handed great weapons or sword & board in the style of firedrakes.
Despoilers (Destroyers), elites with jump packs and fully equipped with smaller rad weapons.
Oh! Interesting sounds very mech to me

**kenbian**

It's a fake.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I'd say so.

We don't tend to get those sorts of rumours from FW.

**angelofvengeance**

Guess we'll find out if it's true or not, when the weekender comes up.

**kenbian**

Nop, it's a fake rumor:

Amazing. Now that it's on faeit and B&C I can say it's me. Objective completed, sorry 4chan but you were the best way to test if the usual suspects were still slowed or not. And that dipsheit at B&C says "my source" holy sheit.

FYI I took the SW stuff from a Heresy30k thread wishlisting. In fact, I screwrf up with the Wolf Guard and someone here said Varangians, so I went with that in the "updated version". Feel free to compare.

All of the Secutarii stuff is just me looking up what a Peltast is and grabbing various fancy terms that vaguely fit. Siege towers are sweet though, but I forgot the triaros is already 20 capacity and made this one open topped. lol.

I love how some people go "hmmmmm this reminds me of what I heard elsewhere, must be true!" no +SCRAPSHUNTERRORABORT+, fw already said that one of the ts units will be psyker assassins and sw get a variant of destroyers (and I screwed up on the naming).

**Alpharius**

So, what exactly do people 'get' from doing this?

**Alpharius**

Ha!

Well, yes, but I meant more the people authoring these hoaxes.

Is it all for some sort of f'd up personal LULZ?

Or is this the place for a "Some men just want to watch the world burn" quote?

They think they are proving that 4chan and Bols are sites that get made up

posted on them......

. They are a little slow to the fact that everyone else already knew it

Rowrrrrrrrr.

**Zywus**

I do very much like that Cataphracti assault cannon I must say.

**ThirstySpaceMan**

Not a rotor cannon? I thought only specific legions had access to assault cannon.

**Kanluwen**

Shame that we didn't get this stuff in the box.

Cataphractii can be used in 40K as well as 30K.

Imperial Fists and Blood Angels which both happen to be pictured...

Plus, Blood Angels love their assault cannons a bit too much in 30k. They tend to appear everywhere that used to be a heavy flamer...

Yeah, Imperial Fists and Blood Angels. Cataphractii don't get Rotor Cannons, these are assault cannons for those legions, and the Storm shields are for Imperial Fists.

I never noticed until now (since I stopped buying years ago) that the chain fist in 30k has a handle; I like the change.
