No one is as neglected as Sisters... except Squats.

The Dark Eldar got a pretty HUGE release… just before being neglected again. Though not as neglected as Sisters, they still got some few new release and some printed, translated dex…

Yeah , thats what I was saying. Normally factions receive a big release like that once in a lifetime (Sometimes is just enough. Revamp the faction and add some kits every year).
We can't all be space marines... sorry, Primaris Space Marines. Normal Space Marines are joining the rest of us in the "neglected" club

The dreadnought is pretty awesome, I hope it comes with at least a few weapon options. 100% dreading seeing the pricetag though. Are those other marines alongside it from the multi part kit? The posing looks slightly different than the bolter wielding ones from the starter. I was really hoping they would fit in some slight variation into the armor style...just like how mk IV originally had some subtle differences.

I dread seeing the points for that damn thing.

Tyranids?

Their model range is among the largest ones, and it is pure plastic.

Well, almost pure plastic.

They are going to write up the Seminars on the community website today (sunday) if Pete's twitter is to be believed.

I just want a better picture of those demon rules and psychic powers.

I can make out a 5+ invul for all demons with demonic rule and tzeentch giving them a +1 while nurgle gets the new fnp but I cant quite make out the khorne and slaanesh rules or any of the spells

This is what I was able to decipher:

> Daemonic: 5+ Invulnerable/
> Unstoppable Frenzy (Khorne): +1S/A if they charge or are charged.
> Ethereal Form (Tzeentch): +1 Invulnerable Save
> Quicksilver Swiftness (Slaanesh): Daemons with this ability always fight first in the Fight phase, even if they were charged. If the unit is charged by or charges another unit with a similar ability, the unit that charged fights first.


Also I think Daemonic Ritual is Deep Strike, but similar to how it was for Daemons in 4th/5th edition. Except rather than it being half your force that comes on at one time it's based on Keywords? It's really hard to read though (and my eyes were already strained from the special rules) so I could be completely wrong about that.

Aka pretty much everything we already know since 2 weeks ago~

Yup.

At least there's confirmation that Quicksilver Swiftness cancels out with similar abilities, though (Some people were jumping ahead of what we knew and inferring that the game breaks when such a thing would occur, or something equally as wild).

I should say though, there is more to Quicksilver Swiftness that I can't read. I'd hazard a guess it explains what to do if neither unit charged this turn.

Based on the Sprue pictures for the Primaris Marines, the heads are separate pieces from the bodies, as are the chest pieces and the arms. So what that translates to me is that I should have an easier time placing the helmets on the waists on the heads where they belong.

I can't really tell if there are two duplicate sprues (One Inceptors, two Intercessor, and two Hellblaster on each Sprue), but it certainly seems that way. The third Sprue has the Captain, both LTs, the Ancient, and all the Sergeants on it.

Edit: NM, there are four sprues, so there is probably some more variation than that.

unless it IS further fleshed out, my reading of that would be that Slaaneshi daemons now effectively 'charge' every turn; i.e. they ALWAYS go first.
Edit: just to flesh it out a bit:
1. Any always-strikes-first chargers from non-slaaneshi player.
2. Any models with Quicksilver Swiftness.
3. Any other chargers from non-slaaneshi player.
4. Alternate combats as usual.

TBH that is kinda CRAZY powerful if true. If you made a pure slaaneshi deamon army, you just get to swing everything before your enemy in both phases unless he spends CP's to give a unit strike 1st to mute the two rules out.

Considering Slaanesh stuff has such a glass jaw, It's probably balanced for the most part. It's if Emperor Children Marines get a rule like that (In the same way all nurgle stuff gets the disgustingly resilient)

After straining my eyes again, I *think* the full wording is something like:

Quicksilver Swiftness: Daemons with this ability always fight first in the Fight phase, even if they didn't charge. If the enemy unit which you have charged also has a similar ability, then alternate choosing which unit to fight with starting with the player whose unit had charged first.

I'm not confident about that last part still. I'd also find it a bit odd (but not out of the norm for GW) if the rule really doesn't mention what to do if 2 units with similar abilities are locked in combat and neither charged, but I'm quite confident about the rest of it so *shrug*.


Technically it's even more powerful then, because if none of your units charged this turn and your Slaanesh Daemons are all in combat, you opponent can't use the Stratagem you mentioned Lockark, as no units charged (and yet all the Slaanesh Daemons still get to fight first).

Don't see anything new there. Just regurgitated info with the same bad quality photos. Am I missing smthn?

The Storm Lords are in one of those pictures. Does GW actually think people would paint them?

What's wrong with the Storm Lords?

The new blue, Ultramarines chapter shown on the right side is the Fulminators, it looks like. The Dark Angels successor is the Blades of Vengeance. The white Marines are the Storm Reapers, who are White Scar successors. They have got to be the least inspiring successors ever. Their color schemes are damn near 100% the same as their parent chapter.

Divided color armies are a pain, and Storm Lords add the annoyingly hard to paint color of yellow into the mix.

That's my opinion at least.

Have they announced prices for the FW index books?

15 GBP, via Battle Bunnies

Regarding 8th, the WarCom liveblog has posted several WD pics incl the 40k battle report, MkX making of and a DG painting article

Those White Dwarf entries on the Warhammer Fest Blog (https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/05/27/warhammer-fest-live-blog/) Are looking pretty awesome!

I cannot wait for the Lord of Contagion!

Plastic Spore Mines exist.

I prefer the plasma cannon on the Redemptor. The barrels are too long on the Gatling, though that might be a perspective thing.

There appears to be an underslung Heavy Flamer on the Power Fist arm.

That Dread is Beautiful, if I didn't have a ton of Nurgle releases in my near future, I would totally be getting one!

I honestly don't get how you can find it beautiful.

To me it looks like he has a Beer belly.

They managed to make the Chaos Dread look better next to it...

Then again colors & tastes i guess...

Tell you what, you buy all the Ick Marines you want, and I will make up the difference with buying a ton of Angry Washing Machines 2.0 .
