feth, that's an ugly witch of a thing!

And yes, the pilots are the old ones they used to sell back in the day.

I believe so, yes.

Also, FW has trouble writing Tau Ta'u T'au properly.

Here are the pilots

And here are the rules: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/PDF/Downloads/Tiger%20Shark%20AX-1-0.pdf

The Tigershark cant fire its gun if it moves, as they have written the rules so far.

Lol.

It's been fixed this time around.

Titan Hunter: This model may fire Macro weapons even if it has moved this turn.

Yes it can.

Go back and re-read.

Ahh, thats what I get for skimming when Im tired.

583 points to have a decent chance of acing a Knight a turn? God damn.

Warhammer TV today mentioned Alpharius being the "most expensive" Primarch.

Will he actually be 2 sculpts, paired with Omegon?

Nah, he'll have a super scenic base in a base in a base, while all the other Primarchs just have the base in a base.

Nah it'll be him, a large super-scenic base for him, and a scenic attachment of his corpse as part of a diorama with Dorn.

Sold as a duo Dorn, and you have to convert in part of its body, since he will be modeled as Dorn is in the middle of cutting him in half.

The comment about Alpharius was a joke, encouraging people to buy the most expensive forgeworld kit and pretend it was Alpharius in disguise.

Nobody mentioned that the new Custodies gun is also up for pre order?



Also available as a bundle with the dread and a double dread bundle also available.

Did anyone notice the Tiger Shark's Cyclic Ion Blaster has -1 damage does that mean it heals a unit it shoots LOL

-_- Go figure, but anyone worth playing will say it must do 1 damage. Amazing looking model. Way better looking than the old one. Also I just got a cool Tau landing pad so these Air Caste pilots would be perfect, but my backlog is now massive. Must... resist... urge. Have too much stuff. I also want those Barracuda.

Edit
Heavily considering grabbing the Barracuda Wing + Tigershark. Good deal plus I'll have air caste mini's.

Hold on....what happened to the Drone Racks?

That's a different beast - the AX-2-2. Unless I've misunderstood what you were pointing at?

Rules sheet seems to have both variants, but no mention of Drone Racks :(

That's a shame, was a nice ability.

Didn't they have a few versions of the TigerShark in AI? One had the drone racks but didn't the railguns.

Blimey! Forgeworld remembered that their are other races!



Are those the old Air Caste pilots they used to have out at one point in the past?

*inner anime fan squees a little*

There's 2 variants:

Ax1 - todays pre order
Fighter bomber- still to come and should have drone racks.

They got me. I ordered the Barracuda Airwing and Tigershark. I couldn't resist. This is the first time I've ever given into an impulse buy like this.

I love it. I want one so bad but I can't afford it right now. Hopefully the airwing bundles will be around for a bit.

I really like the design of the new versions of the Tau flyers. Look more stealthy and modern than their original incarnations.

I haven't been following FW news recently. Has there been any news on chapter traits for FW chapters?

Tony Cantrell on Thursday’s Twitch interview said they’d do those as they come out with Imperial Armour books for them. I don’t recall if he meant the generic single-faction hardbacks, or the campaign books. At any rate, yes they’re coming, but not soon.

A LOT of Off Topic and spammy posts deleted.

Again, if it isn't obvious, the topic of this thread is "Forgeworld News & Rumors"...

Courtesy mention that a paper copy of the upcoming HH rulebook was teased on a stream the other day to get things back on topic...

Bleh.

Malcador Heavy Tank receives no form of grinding or lumbering advance and the Master of Ordnance is still not allowed to boss around carriages or emplacements.
