Atia you tease... is this any indicative of what's to come?

Probably something like "Strike back at those who want the master of mankind dead" or who "tried to see the master of mankind dead". Or there are those within the imperial palace who want that. Etc. He's already dead, I think if the story was that the throne has finally given out it would be worded differently than "he's dead, jim"

Anyone know the contents of the "swag bag" one gets for making a pre-order of at least $X in a Warhammer Store today?

My guess would be some useless crap (like that measuring tool, some dice, maybe an old codex or out-of-print book)? Maybe an old sprue or a finecast figure they're doing away with. The obvious ideas are a t-shirt and keychain ...lol. Be curious to see what you get.

Haha I actually kinda want the measuring guage!

With AoS, I believe there were some pin-back buttons.

Probably a couple of badges and a flyer, I doubt there'll be anything much more exciting than that in there. They've definitely got primaris and death guard badges because they were giving away loads of them at warhammerfest.

Umm, yea, the hype dies down, because people will be playing games.

The Limited Edition doesn't come with the actual models, correct?

Correct.

*looks at the table of contents pages of the FW indices, looking for Chaos Renegades*

Ah, there they are, in the IG book for some reason. Wait..."Renegade Mutant Rabble." Could I use my old Lost and the Damned mutants for those? If so, and they have the Chaos keyword (why wouldn't they?) I'm totally doing a mixed force!

Well I guess repressors are still a thing at least.

I'm going to interject some crazy speculations regarding the rumored Blood Angel Campaign (If it's so).
-Please don't put me on a rumor mill
So we know that it will involve the Blood Angels (And maybe a codex for them?)
And Chaos because Ka'Bandit is in town (Maybe normal Chaos, or Daemon, or even WE Codex?)
We also know the Hive Fleet Leviathan was warp blasted, but more will come
We also know that Necrons worked with the Blood Angels once (not even sure if they're still in the system.

I don't know about you guys, but I see a lot of potential here

I bought the novel today and will start reading it this evening.

It's interesting, that it release date is the 17th anywhere but on the Black Library page.

I hope that if there is a Blood Angels v. Khorne campaign (didn't we already have this last year?!) that it is just a book and not a limited boxed set. Hopefully alongside a new Khorne Berserkers set. Possibly a plastic Lord on Juggernaut. I dunno. Blood Angels don't really need new models, most everything is still fairly new. Perhaps an upgrade kit for the eventual Primaris Marine multipart kits. But no exclusive kits.

Yeah, hype stops the moment the thing actually releases. After that it's just enjoyment.

Actually yeah, lack of Ferrum infernus and sonic dread is a bit of a problem for me. I made a thousand sons dread conversion with a plasma cannon a short while back because I felt it was the most thematic weapon choice, and now I can't fire it without overcharging because it's forced to proxy a helbrute.

I think they're in there, but not listed as a specific entry.

Not sure if anyone else noticed this yet, but the FW Xenos index is listed on their Aussie site as coming soon, and one of the preview images is the table of contents for the book, showing what units are listed in it. It all looked pretty much as expected, with two notable exceptions.

1. We finally have a model with no new rules for 8th. The XV89 Crisis Suit is gone. It's not listed for Tau in the ToC. Both the XV81 and XV84 are as seperate Commander entries, but the XV89 is notably absent. Unless it got reworked into a general Crisis upgrade and is just listed under wargear options for the army (though that would still beg the question as to why it didn't rate a new unit page while the other two did), this guy's on his way out. The model is still available for purchase on the Aussie site at the time that I'm writing this. Hopefully this is a misprint or something or the rules for him are coming in the new IA book coming out, but if you like the model, you may want to jump on and order one as they may not be around much longer.

2. There are two new units listed. The TX7 Heavy Bombardment Hammerhead Gunship and the TX7 Fire Support Hammerhead Gunship. My first thought when I saw those were "That sounds a lot like Tau artillery!". My second thought was "Wait, FW gave Hammerheads a bunch of special turrets, a plasma one, a fusion one, and a missile one." So I checked the website. Not sure when it happened, but the plasma and fusion turrets are gone. Only the missile one is left. So now my mind has jumped back to thinking "Those sound a lot like artillery!!!" Whatever they are, they are apparently different enough from the normal Hammerhead to rate their own unit entry in the FW Index, as well as different enough from each other to rate seperate unit entries.

So, let's get some baseless speculation going! What is the fate of the XV89? Are we gonna say goodbye to that rather cool looking suit? What are these two new tanks we're apparently getting and what their profiles and weapons be like?

Preorders aren't live in the US yet, right? I thought they'd go live at 12...

Thank goodness for the Aus site to at least check things out

Usually they go live at 1pm EST, or just before.

LE is $420 in US store

Got the Rulebook, Index collection and the Objectives

If I want any of the Death Guard later on, I'm sure eBay will be rife with cheap sprues after a while.

Is there a way to cancel an order with GW? I meant to use a different payment method, and can't figure out how to change it.

Has the renegade guard book been leaked?

best bet is to just call

Took the plunge and bought the starter set for the rulebook and sweet nurgly goodness.

I know it's probably just rumors at this point but do we have solid leads on when the rest of the Death Guard release will be coming?

Probably after the primaris marines codex, which is probably coming in july. The redemptor and grav primus stuff will be out before any DG. I'm not sure if there will be any AoS between the primus marines and death guard though.

Not sure about the swag bag but the freebies on offer if you bought everything at GW Coventry were:

* 4 Entries to our prize Draw to win a Studio Painted Mini from the game!
*Ticket to our V.I.Preview early access on release day!
*Ticket to our 'Iron Man' event on 24th June !
*Purity Seal!
*Presentation box!
*Primaris Marine!
*Exclusive Collectors Coin!
*Exclusive Primaris Marine Enamel pin badge!
*Framed A3 poster!
*Exclusive Range Ruler!
*Exclusive mission Sheet!

They're in the Forgeworld Astra Militarum Index. So they won't "leak" until the 17th when people actually have the book in hand.

That's assuming that book is ready for release on the 17th since the Xenos and Guard books are both due "later this month."
