Does Dakkadakka do a single event thread for the Weekender?

We've done it both ways in the past, but if there's enough news it might merit its own thread! Ideally we just want to keep it organized, so if a stand alone thread is created, avoiding duplicating conversation both here and there (so we should link to it here, if we go that route, or just keep all the news here - but ideally not both!).

**Clockpunk**

I do 't suppose anyone has any clue/hints/rumours as to when Mighty Zug (Blood Bowl) might be hitting the FW store...? I know he was sold at the open day on 2nd Jan - had hoped he might have seen general release by now.

What date is the weekender?

Ordo Sinister? Something else to go with Custodes and Sisters?

The Ordo Sinister is the most elite and senior Divisio Mandati Titan order of the Collegia Titanica, and consists of only twelve Imperator class Titans. Under the command of its renowned Grand Master Ferromort, the Ordo Sinister's purpose is simple: to inspire terror and obedience in those who wish to rebel against the the Pax Imperium, to enforce with the strength of steel the words of the Adeptus. In this respect the Legion often works in conjunction with the Adeptus Arbites, the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy. The carefully planned assaults of Grand Master Ferromort are famous for their precision, ferocity and flawless execution. Great pains are taken to use the Legion as an example of implacable and faceless Imperial efficiency.

In "persuading" particularly unruly governors to submit to Imperial will, the Legio Ordo Sinister has destroyed hundreds of supposedly impregnable fortresses and palaces. The Legion remains an instrument of precision for the Imperium - a well-honed saber rather than the sledgehammer of planetary bombardment or the broadsword of Space Marine intercession.

Via Lexicanum.

So are Forge world making an Imperator titan then?

4th and 5th Feb. I hoping Warhammer TV is there to broadcast some bits, they won't do all (otherwise why pay ~£75 to go?).

Battle Bunnies normally have a few guys going, they usually have photos and recaps up pretty quickly.

\seconded,watch Battle Bunnies or your choice of person attending or news aggregator site.

It's the Horus Heresy weekender.

...My bad. I fail at reading.

**TalonZahn**

I needs that Blood Angels Book.... NOW!

Honestly, I might sell a kidney and pay someone to have on my doorstep a.s.a.p.

**derek**

Every time there is a post I keep hoping it's the Cataphractii cannons and shields up for order. They'really the things keeping me from finishing my two sets.

That’s right folks, feast your eyes on the cover of The Horus Heresy: Book Seven – Inferno.

Arguably the most anticipated Forge World book since the launch of our Horus Heresy supplements, Inferno is the campaign book that chronicles the epic battle of Prospero.

This is the saga of the Space Wolves and Thousand Sons Legions – two loyal(ish) Legions set upon each other by the machinations of Chaos and the traitorous Warmaster. It is one of the greatest tragedies of the era, but for Horus Heresy fans, one of the most awesome opportunities for games!

As you’d expect, there are loads of new rules for Space Wolves and Thousand Sons armies – both of which can deviate quite considerably from the standard Space Marine Legion force. It’s not just the VI and XV Legions in the book though – also covered are the Talons of the Emperor: the Sisters of Silence and Legio Custodes. Even in an age of superhuman demi-gods, this force is elite, with access to loads of great vehicle support for their unequaled infantry.

All in – it’s looking great, it’s going to be awesome, and it’s on its way very soon.

If you’re thinking of starting a force from either Legion, or the Talons of the Emperor, then you can’t do much better than the Burning of Prospero box – and maybe a few Thousand Sons or Space Wolves shoulder pads. Oh, and one of those new golden Dreadnoughts. And Russ. And a Spartan. There you go – army finished, now you just need the book.

**RiTides**

Here's the pic too

**Vector Strike**

Oh yeah! The day I'll start a TS army finally arrived! Or it'll arrive soon, I guess...

**Jackal**

Knew there was a logical reason to me hoarding a ton of custodes when the were 1st released lol.

Just didn't know quite what it was at the time.

All in print versions of the book were pulped to make more copies of Inferno (or whatever the next HH book is called).

**VeteranNoob**

Poor Poor Tizca

Painting my Thousand Sons as this dropped. Ouch.

**nerdfest09**

I really want to see this fur rug in the Custodes pimp van!

**ThirstySpaceMan**

Ordo sinister? Perhaps early Inquisition? No way its the titan legion. Unless you pretend they are you. A costume maybe?

Or odd templates you pay points to drop on enemies from off table ala Orbital Bombardment
.

Kidding aside what could the ordo sinister be? it won't be a 8000$ 200lb resin divorce declaration.

**angelofvengeance**

Does the Thousand Sons legion have much involvement in the Heresy beyond getting smashed by the Space Wolves at Prospero and Siege of Terra?

**Alpharius**

...other than absolutely f'ing up the Emperor's Secret Project to Totally Defeat Chaos?

Well, yeah, I'm sure they're around and causing trouble here and there!

I hope it's actually released in Q2... I wouldn't mind much if they were holding it off for 8th, but my hype and impatience is reaching critical mass.

**Vorian**

Could be worse, you could be waiting for knight transfers :p

**Verviedi**

Yay, let's have an impatience contest! I wonder which will be released first? The transfers, or the book?

**Vorian**

The book, em_en_oh_pee will be waiting until after the squats come back!

Shh! You'll summon him! And when he appears, it won't be long until someone asks about Dorn and he gets pushed back another couple of months.

Too late +3 months.

**Looky Likey**

Can't wait to see the TS rules, I really hope they capture the different psychic disciplines of the Legion properly in the rules. The SW should be easy by comparison.

We've seen about half the Custodies units by my reckoning, but we haven't seen anything new for the SoS yet, I hope they get more models as well.

**Thargrim**

Dunno if anyone saw the news yet, but the cover image of Inferno does reveal a new type of custodes infantry. Simply wielding some kind of bolter and a new helmet design. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw these revealed during the HH weekender.

**Crazyterran**

I should probably pick up like 15 more Sisters of Silence to go with my 30 Custodes, just in case...
