Oi! I don’t jump fads! My heart belongs to Fires Of Cyraxus, and it will not stray to other books, no matter how attractive. Fires Of Cyraxus gives me all I need, no other book can substitute.

Except for maybe “Codex: Peregrine Owns Your Wallet”.

Please don't. No.

Anyway, more Primaris vehicle options would be nice.

Especially their version of the Rhino.

Their lack of a viable affordable transport is shocking and sad!

Collective sigh from AdMech players in 3... 2...

Hmmm....might this be released at the 40k Open Day...which means we might see Cyraxus as well.

If so, I'll do a write up!

My initial reaction to the new tank was positive. However, the more I look at it, the less I like it.

It just looks far too generic sci fi tank to me. It could be from anywhere.

That's actually why I love this AND the Repulsor. They're generic enough that if I leave off the blatantly 40K markings, I can use them for a number of RPGs and other tabletops.

I am glad that Fires is coming out, but I am just not a fan of the big tanks. Definitely will not be picking this specific model up (but will get Fires) for my Tau.

Are we SURE this is fires and that it's coming soon. Admech need it badly. It's cruel to keep teasing us.

What else is it gonna be? Red Scorpions are in Fires. This vehicle is painted in RS colours. It mentions a new book.

I don't know we were told we were getting a new codex and they just reprinted the index. We've been lied to before...

Yes, but it also cuts off after the word "for". It could be referring to the next Heresy book rather than a book for 40K.

Not my preferred interpretation, but it's a possibility.

The next heresy book is still ages off. It had barely been started when Alan Bligh passed away.

Unless FW is making a huge lore jump, Red Scorps aren't in HH. It could be Anphelion or Badab War books redone for 8th and Primarus marines though...

That thing is going to be much harder to put tracks on than the Repulsor was...

We Starcraft now.

Ooh, a new Zoids tank!

Maybe we can put any spare bitz on deodorant bottles.

Actually, it’s kind of starting to grow on me.

What puts me off is the lack of vehicle organisation with marines.

If you're playing with friends or perhaps a club rather than PUGs at stores or tournaments, it's called a Rhino, and it's been available for years now.

Nah, Fires of Cyraxus is still years away. This is the first of the prequel books, Kindling of Cyraxus.

Where we're going, we don't need roads tracks.



Anyway, knowing my luck, that tank will end up being too expensive (either in dollars or points) that I won't be able to get/use it, just like the new Custodes flyer.

"Just play the game however you want. Rules are meaningless!!!"

Such a helpful suggestion.

I wonder if it has any transport capacity? The back half under the turret almost looks like it could be some kind of swappable mission specific module.

Forgeworld. Man. Just means it's going to be even more expensive to buy with wonky rules that will be harder to convince local players to let me use.

:I

I find it humorous that the new tank seems to have less guns than the repulsor. I do like it though.

Er, what? This has nothing in common with any Zoid I've ever seen.

Finally, a FoC update. Though I'm not really sold on this new Tau thing. Don't they usually have much curvier vehicle designs, kind of like Eldar without all the magic stones everywhere?

I think it looks great. It will make a fantastic conversion to my 30k Mechanicus army. Depending on the size it might replace Triaros Convaiers as a transporter. I can totally see Thallax rocking this as a ride no problem. If it's way to big then it will make a cool Super Heavy conversion for something or another.

Keep it up ForgeWorld. Also can we have official colours, history and Legio emblems about Legio Vulturum "Gore Crows" and Legio Kydianos "Death Cry" please ForgeWorld ?

Literally 3 vehicles smashed into one. Pretty half asses design like the Repulsor. It being forgeworld, its rules will be either way to good for its cost, or very crappy. they don't often have middle grounds.

I'm sure ill get one for completeness for my primaris only ultramarines

Definitely not the solution!

Jokes aside, this is exactly the sort of thing I'm thinking about when I complain that FW is 99% space marines of various colors. It's not a hideously ugly design, but it isn't great either. It doesn't fill a desperately-needed fluff role (and, arguably, it is a very un-fluffy idea), it doesn't fill a rules hole, and it isn't so spectacular a design that it just has to be done. It looks like exactly what you'd expect if you decide that you're doing nothing but space marines and need to have a new space marine release every week, regardless of whether or not you have a great idea for that new product. And it's really frustrating to see space marine players get mediocre release after mediocre release just to keep milking the cash cow, while those of us hoping for other stuff (including products announced years ago!) are ignored.

It looks like they mixed a bunch of CAD files together and slapped a Sicaran turret on it. . Ehhhh... I guess it gives Primaris Marines a big tank so it serves its purpose. Not a big fan, though.

Literally anything for any other army but Space Marines (god forbid a xenos race) would be much more interesting, although evidently that's not Forgeworld anymore.

I really hope it’s not primarine only.

I emailed Forgeworld and they said FoC is not going to be in 2017.
