Razorback with a Multimelta.

Thanks!

But why would that tank have totally different rule from a normal Razorback?

Yes, Fires of Cyraxus is still happening (https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/05/27/warhammer-fest-live-blog/)

In IA2-2nd it's just a Razorback with a Multi-melta - no special rules. It's just a separate entry for the FW weapon options - I'm expecting the Gryphonne Pattern Chimera to be the Autocannon / twin Heavy Bolter turrets, for another example.

While that would be cool, it's just 1 multi-melta on the turret, unfortunately!

Oh yeah... for some reason I always keep thinking it's a twin one.
Probably because every other Razorback turret is a Twin weapon, or a Twin & Single weapon in the case of the Las-Plas.

Has the Tauros Assault Vehicle gone OOP? I can only see its bigger brother on the forgeworld website.

There's been a lot of stuff disappearing temporarily recently, repacking maybe? Also the filters have been a bit messed up, try doing a search as stuff sometimes turns up that way.

Anyone have a clear picture of what the Adeptus Mechanicus paint scheme?

In Fires of Cyraxus?

(large pic)

Fires of Cyraxus is baffling me.

Is there a purpose of having tau in the index if they are in Fires as well?

Alternatively, if tau are NOT in fires, does it mean only admech are in?
And if so, what rules ARE there to fill the book? because forgewrold aint got too many Admech if they are not porting 30k admech to 40k.

Fires of Cyraxus will be more than just rules though.

And highly likely Tau will be getting new models in Fires that will not have rules in the new Indexes.

They had to put the existing Tau models into an index as they currently have 40k rules - so need 8th ed 40k rules on release. None of the adMech models have 40k rules yet so no need to release them in the index.

Do you think Tau will get additional models? I figured they already released the lion's share of the Tau when Fires of C was first stated as coming out.

They get an upgraded flyer - but outside of that I can't image there is much more.

The Admech got their upgrades too.

Outside of the Red Scorpions, what do they have left to release for this book?

Isn't bringing the 30k Mechanicum stuff in 40K the whole bloody point of this book?
(I fething hope so. Maybe then I can finally use my Thallaxi I ordered when they first announced this book somewhere in the late Jurassic period.)

I don't really know the Tau range very well, but I would be highly surprised if there wasn't at least one big thing we haven't seen a model for yet in the new book even if it is just a weapons variant, it would be most unlike them not to do that.

Yea, I thought they said all 30k Admech will be made to 8th edition 40k in this book.

The build up to Fires initially had the release of the Supremacy Armour and its variants. Granted that was over a year ago - but I can't imagine FW has another giant Tau suit in the works. They have a flyer update coming that was seen at Warhammerfest - but I imagine most of this release will now be the Red Scorpions and Leviathan Dread Culn. I would be happy to be wrong - but Admech will get access to 30k models (so they likely don't need any other kits) and Tau were already released.

The Supremacy Armour never made it into a book, though, right?

It wouldn't have to be a whole new model, just a new weapon variant would be enough, especially if you can only get that weapon by purchasing a whole model rather than just the gun. I think it is reasonably safe to assume that the rules have been rewritten in the book for 8th edition so FW have had plenty of time to add in another weapon load out or two for some of the models.

With the admech stuff some of the 30k weapons do not have 40k valid rules, I think there is a reasonable chance we'll see some different weapon variants for some of the mechancium robots as well because of this.

All speculation on my part, mostly because I am fed up of waiting for the new book and I have a horrible feeling it won't be released till the next FW Open day 13th August.

13th August? You are so optimistic... should I make a formal guessing board?

I bet May 2018.

They already had a draft done. I assume most of the fluff stayed the same - so they just need to adapt to the new edition. Maybe August is a decent guess.

No, but it is listed as being in the upcoming Index: Xenos book (unlike the AdMech stuff).

Still needs fluff / etc in a "real" book, I think? Personally, I'd be thrilled with an August release . Doesn't seem like FW have given any renewed timeline hints, though.

Nope, from emails and WarhammerFest stuff, they gave no hints at all. My best guess is early next year, after HH: Angelus, or the heat death of the universe.

Edit: I do have a reputable source saying August, but take it with salt.

The Indexes do include a bit of fluff as well.

New Thunderhawk: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-NL/Space-marines-thunderhawk-gunship-2017

And a load of Blood Bowl stuff, including.. https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-NL/Blood-bowl-grombrindal-the-black-gobbo-2017

I just looove that Thunderhawk's red color. FW should make a new paint bottle, since they are lacking non gory reds anyway.

And hey, having just had a hilarious election result, the GBP has dropped a bit.

Come on you lovely colonials, come and get it

Saw that Thunderhawk at WarhammerFest. Looks bloody lovely . WANT!... Anyone got a few hundred quid to spare?

I feel the opposite. The Thunderhawk lost a lot of its charm with the somewhat streamlining of the model. I suspect it's a much better model (well, as good as FW can manage), but it looks quite boring by comparison to the old one.

I prefer the old Thunderhawk, the T-tail was part of the iconic silhouette of the Thunderhawk and I don't think they should have removed it, also prefer the frame of the canopy on the older one.

Other than the tail and canopy frame I'm happy enough with the new one I guess, but those problems are pretty big in the overall aesthetic of the model.
