Wasn't the thunderhawk more expensive like 600 pounds?

Nah I think it was 435GBP, so the new one is a bit more expensive.

I still don't understand GW's need to put a sizeable load bearing structure through the center of an aircraft engine.

Far from their worst engineering faux pas, I just assume the engine housing is strengthened, stiffened and cooled appropriately. This one actually thickens up in the wing root area to get rid of the stress concentration the old one would have had as it went from outer wing -> engine -> wing root.

There have been reports of Forgeworld emails stating that Fires Of Cyraxus will be out "Later this month".

Must've been accidentally sent emails? I've checked both emails I have FW sunscriptions on and haven't seen anything on this topic, just the indexes :(

Be still my beating heart. WE NEED MORE REPORTS STAT!

Exalted for...er...I mean, yes, it will be nice if people who really want this thing can finally get it.

And then hopefully Dorn, Alpharius and some obscure Knight Household transfer sheets can show up soon too...?

Please let them release Dorn, Fires and not forgetting those feckin' transfers in one go!

And more Takllarn stuff.

On behalf of my friend I'm becoming that guy.

Well that would be cool timing as I'm planning a trip to WHW next month.

and when they do release it you can be sure a full transition to 8th edition rules is only a couple of months away invalidating it far too soon

(sorry)

And the alternate Fulgrim, too!

Not surprising that they would release a new IA shortly after the new edition. They can present it as a sort of flagship product for 8th.

I'm so stoked by the sticking with 7th, putting out there own rulebook thing. I am now however tempted to collected all the big expensive books, instead of just the odd one here or there with the legions I most like. (I currently only have two)
It could cause issues, such as what happens if it sells better than 8th? Unlikely given the limited sales channels but if large numbers of current players move to 30k instead of the new system?

I can't see any danger of that happening. The number of returnees to the game looks to be huge, not to mention 8th being much more friendly to new players. If people want to play with 7.5/30k/HH alongside 8th, then more power (and money) to Forge World. If they can offer some better rules balance with some tweaks, I'd be quite happy to pick up a copy of 7.5 alongside my 8th edition stuff.

I'll still buy the big black HH books. Because they're things of beauty.

The American SR71 also has a wing that wraps around the engines.

Touche, sir. The only other example of wings through the engines i could think of was this..

Here's the Victor. The Vulcan is another.

For the Fires book, is it still confirmed/rumoured that we will be getting some 30k Ad-Mech units for 40k? I'd love to see those big ass robots in an army.

What a nice surprise it would be though to see the book this month, since I can't get the new box set until the end of the month I was gonna do FW shop too to get the Militarum Index and the Fires book would be sound as!

Obviously 8th has been in the works for a long time so they could have well changed all the rules section for 8th a while ago.

My lawd though, to see some proper Ad-Mech vs Tau, with the scorpions in grey. Lather me in it.

Yes, we are. Vorax and Thanatars are confirmed by the book's teaser art. Every single 30k unit would be greatly appreciated.

The Ordinatus is in the photos too.

OH BOY!

Honestly the thing I want more than anything else is a port of the Magos rules. I really dislike the GW Studio trend these days to only give characters the options available in the blister pack - finally being able to "officially" put together Mechanicus characters with some variety of gear and battlefield role would be glorious.

Re: Ordinatus, that's a new model. We haven't seen that variant.

Re: Magos, YES, DO IT, PLEASE. "No modelled option no rules" is a garbage policy.

Looks like the Sagittar to me, which is already available.
