Hmmm, the Aelves of Ulgu are shrouded in smoke and mists and the Realm is said to be a mirror of Hysh. He's seen the Aeleves! Quick, everyone hold H.B down!

No you fool, that's just what he wants! Only a Slaanesh worshipper would get close enough to see them thus far!

The pleasure he gets out of excessively using his "tm" jokes is proof of his allegiance. Call up the witch hunters!

So it's Shadespire that's so gar out? Not nurgle? Cause thst stuff looked ready for immediate release.

The minis they were using were just resin prototypes. The video did not have painted bloodbound. We never saw a rule book. Also this...

Aye I really hope so, need more mutant cultists stat!

Oh who am I kidding, the old Death Guard unit was my favourite out the lot, just looked so different to paint and see on the table. Of course I'll be buying everything.

I have never really liked using SC as I prefer the 'generic' homebrew heroes but Mortarion is gonna just look so cool that this may be the first force in which I actually revolve it around a SC.

What attracts me the most is each Nurgle fella can look really unique that makes them all look really striking on the tabletop. Just look at the Blight Kings kit. But turn them into Plague Marines and Terminators?!

You make the model, the model makes back!

Edit: But the prospect of a Khorne AND Slaanesh release on par with 1k and DG?! HAT DIGGIDY DAAAYUM!

Hello everyone !

FW Confirmed that the last resin Thunderhawk have been sold (image from bbunnies)

But what else did FW say? Anything about a certain book that they promised? No, not Horus Heresy eight.

That book isn't due until the end of the year at the earliest

What I actually want to know is if it's going to be released before or after 8th drops.

Give terminators 2 wounds. Job done

Anyone at Adepticon, who attended the GW "Ask the Studio" seminar, was there any new info/media shared? It was marketed as the follow up to the Studio Preview session that gave us the DG leaks. I'm hoping more was revealed today.

Pedro Kantor needs a pimped out aerial transport to go with his pimped out Land Raider!

Convert it into a transporter and he can have a pimped out transport in his pimped out transport.

Transporter as an option. But I definitely am considering that.

I'd rather see this that the layering of saves people are talking about, one of the problems with the game at the minute is how many layers of rolls there are on saves, its what annoys a lot of people with necrons a warrior has a 50/50 chance to pass followed by a 50:50 chance with a 1 in 6 chance of re rolling, takes forever and can be extremely annoying, imagine GK paladins with FnP 2+ followed by a 5+ followed by a 5+ to take one of their 2 wounds.

Probably about as annoying as playing against most Eldar armies.

Please spoiler tag off-topic gifs, and don't quote them repeatedly when replying (unless adding spoilers). Thanks guys

Do we still not have anything from past nights seminar?

Of course with ASM instead of AP, you will have a better chance to get through. A Krak missile or Battle cannon would have decent odds of killing some at that point.

Plastic T-Hawk...yes please. I have assembled a resin one. It was a fun model but needed to be pinned to hell and back. I wish I could of gotten my hands on a metal one.

As for 8th edition 40k. They need to do something drastic. Every edition since 3rd has just been 3rd edition + random rules bloat. Nothing has really changed since 3rd rules wise. Is AOS'ing the way to go? I don't know I didn't care for AoS when I played it a few times. I didn't like the models. I don't like the fluff. I HATE the trademarked names ( that really drives me nuts).

I am glad that AoS has evolved from the 4page pamphlet it started out as. The joke rules where fething terrible and should of never been created. The Generals handbook while it does fix the game ( actually it makes it a different game) but it goes back on what GW said free rules for AoS. Again I'm glad people like Aos and play it. I will not be one of those.

The only thing I really enjoy from GW atm is Horus Heresy. 30k I enjoy, I use to enjoy the novels but as usual once the main studio got its hands on the HH books it went all to hell ( ty again for posting the LG interviews, they where a fething fantastic read) as usual.

GW main has made great strides in the last year or so and I give them major props for that. But... I really believe that 8th edition will make or break GW for a long while in the future. If it flops like 7th edition did I really hope AoS is as popular as the AoS cheerleaders on here make it out to be because it will have to carry the main part of the company.

I HOPE 8th is a stellar edition but " Hope is the beginning of unhappiness".

Plastic T-Hawk...yes please. I have assembled a resin one. It was a fun model but needed to be pinned to hell and back. I wish I could of gotten my hands on a metal one.

No, no you don't. I've not built one myself, but I have witnessed one nearly break one of the most talented and enthusiastic modellers I know.

Indeed. If you think resin ones need to be pinned a lot, you will hate metal ones.

I've never found multiple rolls all that time consuming. I've heard people complain it's time consuming, but never really experienced it myself. Maybe I'm just quicker than average at sweeping my hand over a pile of dice and extracting the successes/failures

I would think keeping track of wounds would be more of a hassle.

Yeah I've read stories about the metal Thunderhawk.

No good stories.

It comes in a pretty box.

The psychic rules have completely changed, several times. Close Combat has been at least slightly different in each edition. Casualty resolution, choosing targets, determining cover, area terrain, army selection... quite a lot has changed since 3rd edition.

And that's a big part of the problem. An edition change shouldn't see wholesale changes to the rules, unless it's to fix things that are legitimately broken. If GW had used the edition changes from 3rd ed onwards to refine the game, instead of changing things around for change's sake, what we would have now could have been a finely-tuned machine.

Instead, each edition they swap stuff around to alter the balance of power and mix up how things work just because they can, and each time it introduces new problems... some of which get fixed next edition, and some of which just get carried across from one edition to the next.


6th and 7th edition should have been vastly different beasts. 6th edition should have taken 5th edition and fixed the clunky wound allocation rules, tweaked transport vehicles, adjusted the power levels of a few psychic powers... and beyond that, just fine-tuned wording to remove ambiguity or errors.

The end result wouldn't have been perfect... but it would have been a vastly more playable game than what we wound up with instead.

Some more tidbits about 8th edition:

Anyone knows this podcast and is aware if they have any merit?

Turning all vehicles into assault vehicles would be...

Well it would sure be something that's for sure.

Interesting if true. How they will approximate 7"/10"/15" inch templates is beyond me though. Unless LoW stuff goes Dodo.

Interesting. Perhaps you make a disordered charge out of non-assault vehicles?

I'm taking it with lots of salt, but June/July would be similar to previous releases, I believe?
