One thing I was thinking about was that Roboute in CC would obliterate an Imperial Knight before it gets to swing. S10 AP1 with Armourbane I6 with 6 attacks and a SD attack on a 6 roll....

BOLS if it has anything juicy will chop it up and stretch it over multiple posts, they run their blog as a business more posts = more clicks = more ads

So, there's this.

Q: What role are the Grey Knights playing in GS3? Seems like they just show up out of no where(I know they predict daemon invasions, and there’s one on Macragge) but is that their only reason? Or is there something with the Terminus Decree? Also, did you get any looks at the upcoming rules for any of the new fluff (Gathering Storm 3 and whatever the next part is called)?

Have you seen any mention of Dark Eldar(Commorites, not Ynnari) and Tau?

A: No joy on the rules front mate, purely the background stuff. I can enquire but dont expect too much back!

Its insinuated the grey knights have prior knowledge and that they may not be as pure as they should be. There is heavy mention of the heroic actions of one particular paladin skewering a daemon, possible new character?

The Tau stuff I paid particular attention to (guess my faction) and I was really happy to see a Kroot mercenary leader being front and centre, leading a cadre of disillusioned Tau. This is big, the first mention of Tau themselves straying front the greater good!!! Despite being psychically null, they find themselves able to communicate with the Chaos forces and play all sides against each other. There is a shadowy figure involved that I think is a corrupt ethereal
eldar robot tau aeldari
Q: Oooohhhh do elaborate, do the tau finally take their place as the rightful rulers of grim dark?

A: Not quite, but there is a significant chunk of it dedicated to Tau expansionism, hoovering up in the wake of the Imperium losing its grip. The Kroot and the Vespid both get a mention (the Kroot quite significantly) which is nice!

Q: This is pee my pants exciting, it’s about time the kroot got some love. I’d forgotten that the Vespid existed! I need more information!

A: In essence there is a Kroot mercenary outfit, including some disillusioned Tau, who play off all sides. I’m guessing there will be a new release at some point? Or GW have a surplus of plastic Kroot

Read "spikeybits", read "time of ending", arrived at same conclusion...

Clickbait at its finest.

**Lord Kragan**

Aren't they the ones who dedicated a whole article gloating on how 40k wasn't the biggest seller in icv2 anymore?

BOLS said emphatically that Abaddon is not present in GS3.

Joke would be on them then, because the book comes out on Saturday.

I'm Hoping the victrix core option will be a 1st co detachment, but we will see.

Please no. Skyhammer, Grav, and Eldar all need hits with the nerf bat.

Thanks for linking a website so bogged down with gakky adds it literally crashed my computer.

**Verviedi**

Sorry, I must have not noticed them. With my adblock and all.

It's a gakky blog, yes, but this is the Gathering Storm III Rumors Thread, and that is a Gathering Storm III rumor.

That's not the point. The point was that you chose to dump a link to a notoriously bad "rumormonger site", rather than copy/paste the "article".

**Nightlord1987**

Any Old players remember what 'Daemonic Adversary' used to do? I hear it is a throwback to older editions.

Then that's my bad, and I'll edit.

It didn't really "do" anything. It was largely a narrative thing, showcasing reasons why a faction might be targeted by Daemonhunters(Tau wouldn't summon Daemons, but they might be unknowingly destroying a hexagrammic ward keeping a Greater Daemon of Chaos in check for example).

It had a gameplay mechanic where you could give a non-Chaos army generic Daemon Packs that could be summoned in. You had to choose an Elite or HQ unit before the game started and then you would roll until stuff showed up and the "vessel" exploded into goo.

Etc etc.

**H.B.M.C.**

The Witch Hunter adversaries were way cooler.

**GoatboyBeta**

No Custodes rules in the book despite two of them being named in the dramatis personae section? I thought there would be at least a reprint of the WD/website rules. Are GW really leaving them as esentially a 30k only faction, or are they holding them back for next edition?

I actually think it was better with the link. Most people scream copyright infringement if you're just raw posting articles.

The Black Templar character didnt get rules either, nor did the rest of the Chapter (other than being able to be taken in Castellans Force Org) despite them featuring heavily thus far so I dont know why you're surprised that things featured aren't getting rules.

As do Riptides, Stormsurges, FMCs and anything else that necessitated High ROF and ap2.

The fact that this game is getting bigger and bigger monsters means that guns to kill them were only a matter of time. See Grav.

If i order the book right now and it says it comes out March 11

I wont get it until March 17th, because GW only delivers on Friday?

From my past experiences when pre-ordering from the website, unless you are having it delivered to a GW store, they apparently don't actually mail the item out until the day it is available. Which I guess would be the following Monday, the 13th.
