Yeah, my original post was much snarkier. Theophany covered the major points of many US gaming environments. I'll just leave it at that.

Yeah, I do wonder if he'll be used for Kellermorph conversions more than the actual intent of the model...

Hey, maybe we got Ambots and iconic characters because that's all FW had for those slots. What if the real constraint is sculpting, not plastic production? If these two things don't line up then there is nothing to produce. Ambot is a single robot and the other is two characters, which could have been done in down time and less troublesome than the gang sprues. And as others have pointed out FW has three (plastic) games all going at once.

Anyways, I'll pick up Kal because it's a good mini. Though wouldn't kill them to do a sprue of two or three part hanger-ons...

4 games now, Aeronautical Imperialis on the horizon and it will be quite a lot of plastic production for the game launch

The rumour is that their Made to Order sold so well they decided to switch them from resin to plastic.

Or it could be all-resin, as was the original plan for AT.

We'll find out soon enough eh.

Also - softcover.

GW seem to be having real issues keeping their printed products stocked and consistent at the moment.

My Rulebook & Gangs of the Underhive are both hardbacks. All the AT books have been hardbacks as well.

Is it though? £10 per model, seems reasonable (for GW/FW anyway..)

So there was actually a new book after all. Book of Peril or something.

Giving that GW give no fanfare for this one it must be the legendary "Book of Secret", probably the best rulebook supplement ever.

The combination book, and the one with the Delaques . Apparently they took the softcover books, and put everything in the hard cover. They are nice, and good for coffee table books.

I have mine as well, but par for course, I am playing mix and match of both new and old rules, along with a house rule of keeping capured gangers stuff, and being able to sell them off to the bad doc's for parts....



At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

Well... they didn't put everything. In fact, there's a fair bit that didn't make into those two books.

That's a worse scenarion IMO, because if I don't buy this book now, how much of it won't make it into the compilation book in November?

I don't play Necromunda and I doubt I'll ever do, but I hope the Enforcers would be useable as a proxy to some Imperial Guard unit. I made guardswomen out of Escher models.

Now there's an exciting book, an actual expansion rather than one book split into 6 books. Instant buy.

I reject the tyranny of rules only for Bespoke Miniatures TM and welcome this book of rules expansion without necessarily needing to have all the miniatures released.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

I have a feeling the Hardback will be a limited GW Store exclusive and the softback will be the general release book...

That would be an odd thing to do. I don't think they've ever made a hardback store exclusive before have they? Unless it was slip cased.

With Kal being an upcoming plastic release, I hope his head and hair are separate pieces and not moulded onto his coat, he's just screaming for some converting, just like his previous incarnations, both in 28mm and 54mm.


As I predict head and pony tail hair are separated piece, a bit of the front bang-braid stuck to the coat.



Sprue look like there are space for some more bits, maybe a base decoration.

Now I need another Bounty Hunter duel Wielding Master Crafted Plasma Pistol, some ideas for when SG folks feeling lazy at making big kit
