Asterion has 7 wounds, but Tyberos is unchanged.

Its mostly just errata to fix the obvious mistakes, the tiger shark can now move and fire macro weapons, Culln and Moloc can deep strike, the DKoK have access to earthshaker carriages, R'lai's drones do things now, the fire support hammerhead got a price cut.

If someone has a FB to let them know about that, that would be swell. It'd be weird for Tyberos to be the only one not to get the wound bonus. Not that he needs it too much (he DOES have more attacks than usual) but I like consistency.
Apparently they gave Huron and Carab Deep Strike, so I'm happy about that at least.

I have a blog now, evidently. Featuring the Alternative Mordheim Model Megalist.

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal

Do Earthshaker Batteries still not benefit at all from a Master of Ordnance? I sent them an email but no response, and with this second wave of FAQ I still don't see anything about this.

Mostly pleased with Tau changes. Some stuff remain, though:

- Y'vhara Nova'ing 1 or 2 weapons
- High-intensity markerlight is hot garbage
- R'varna costing 1 PL less than a Y'vhara, but more than 30p than the latter
- XV9 Hazard keeping their T5 from 7th, when every other battlesuit got a Toughenss upgrade in 8th
- Tigershark Fighter-Bomber having Ld7 while the AX-1-0 has 8 (why the difference? They're exactly the same model with different upgrades)
- Heavy Gun Drones missing Stable Platform and their own markerlights not helping the unit
- R'alai EMP weapon and Y'vahra's Ionic Discharge Cannon still have wonky 'haywire' rules (worse than any other in the game)

That aside, really liking their attention to the questions people have been sending them!

Also Mekboy Junkas, which I think were a really cool vehicle. The Forge World flyers as well.

Guntrukks you'd think we'd get, because they effectively have a model since Forge World sells Trukks and sells artillery pieces designed to be placed in the back of them.

Gunwagons I'm not sure if we'll get or not. How long has it been since they sold those models? They haven't sold Battle Fortresses in a while either, but maybe they're putting out rules for it since the Skull Hamma is a looted Baneblade? Did they ever make an official Mekboy Junka model?

Looted Wagons I have a feeling we won't get, but it would be a pleasant surprise if we did.

This is pure conjecture, but I wonder if GW/FW will put out rules for OOP models that have Power Level values but never get points for more competitive matched play?

Well, the junka did not have an official model at all (the model shown was a conversion based on the FW looted rhino kit).
I was a concersion bench from the very concept.

I would like the flyers as well, but I believe they may consider both of them
can be played with rules for the plastic kits (which is a shame but...)


Gunwagonz were oop for some time when the battleforteress went oop also, but both had rules in IA8,
so I realy hope they release a sheet for these also.
I really love these models which are trade mark vehicules for the orks range for about two decades,
in Epic as well as 40K.

For the looted wagon, I hope also as I would like to still play that nice FW looted rhino kit...

Yes sir, i miss my looted wagons!

Maybe we will get some of the stuff with the ork codex i hope to see before christmas.
I think we will see different stratagems / warlord traits for the clans as well and maybe they fit in some kind of looted vehicles for death skulls.

While I will not hold my breath for the ork codex,
I would like the looted wagon to make a return,
since it was a fun part of the ork list.

And please either give the kommandos
their tankbusta bombs back or change the damn models!
Both GW models and FW kits are loaded with mines (aka tankbusta bombs!)
they can't use for Mork's sake!

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.
