Anyone heard anything about the next Heresy black book release?

Or fires.... or talons of the emperor.... or any publication with new 40k content.

If I had to guess, I'd say that Malevolence (the next black book) will be released at the weekender in February.

The original estimate was end of 2018, but you can always add 3-6 months to FW estimates. And besides, why release something in December or January when you can make a splash and show of it at your big event in February?

I thought Talons would be 2018, but who knows? I don't know that Fires is even currently being worked on, so I wouldn't get my hopes up about that one.

Talons was last previewed about the same time as the sumpcrock and the new necron walker were first shown, so logic would dictate it should be this year and soon.

Yes.

Hello.

Is that the Nerd Police? It is? Excellent.

Yes. I’d like to report a Nerd with a girlfriend. And she buys him expensive Resin Crack.

What’s that? He’s looking at 25 to life? Sounds fair.

Oh? Erm....my name? It’s....J.R. Hartley.

What's next Beattie and her ology? Nicole and Papa? Popping over for a Gold Blend

Don't mind Grotsnik, he was affected by the Millenium Bug and his references haven't updated since 1999.

I would say they make a pretty good Christmas gift though. I only really do one FW order per year at Christmas, so I can get past the unjustifiable shipping with a large order.

Out of her way!!!! Out of her way!!

Really love this model. Now that's the firepower I expect from Necrons.

Anybody can shed some light on how credible this is? Or is this 3rd party companys version? Feel it's fake but.

3rd party(non GW) sculpt.http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350965-sanguinius-sculpt-by-andrei-demidov-render-so-far/

Ok. Well hopefully officil one tops that

Yeah. For some reason he's got a giant paw print on his chest

nice model but the pistol does look like a mad nerf gun.

I really want the legit FW one 'descending in fiery wrath' like the judgment of God.

I'll suggest that the only thing that it will be 'descending in fiery wrath' on is your wallet.

My prediction is the office FW one will be half as good as some of the many non-GW sculpts and cost four to eight times as much, due to the incredible cost of hiring someone no one's never heard of and adding actual Emperor sneezes to the resin.

I'm not even sure what to say other than... a lot of greenstuff appears to be needed...

Yes by the look of that poor guy you won't need to add green paint. And people say the chinese ripoffs are bad quality. inspector #5 should stand in line at the unemployment line now.

QFT.

As an Australian, this comment got me right in the feels.

Also, can I just mention that Kabuki do an amazing Sanguinius?

Never would have mentioned that once, but any loyalty I ever had to FW has died...

Wow....FW released two things this week......

Has there been any news on when the next imperial armour book will be out? I'd like some rules for custodes in 40k.

So, they just announced their weekender...2nd-3rd February. Tickets on sale this Saturday.

Though it would be a great idea to visit them. For ~400sh euros that's a huege NOPE. Man, I'm so jealous to those who live in UK :(

Its about that just for the hotel with food, so its not much cheaper if you can save on the flight cost. The ticket was £75 last year. The hotel is about £125 a night in advance including breakfast and its worth getting there the night before if you can. As the hotel is now further out from anywhere you'll either need a decent drive to get food or pay for the hotel. A reasonable starting budget for just one night, ticket, and food at the hotel is going to be £250, rising to £400 for the two nights.

If I can get a ticket I'm driving each day to save money, the new hotel is closer to where I live and without the draw of a night out in Nottingham I just can't be with the extra cost of the hotel.

Lots of Horus Heresy goodies this week:

Look of the Landspeeders is growing on me.

The price just appears to be growing.

I don't mind paying £50 for a nice kit, but not when it barely registers in the points department!

Really excited to see these kits. The Land Speeders will be great for my Ravenwing lists, and I’ve been wanting a model for Lord Arkos the Faithless, too.

I remember tracking those speeders down when they first released. Used way too much superglue on them, but they looked great to me. I suppose I’ll need to get two or three next year after tax season.

Where are the rules for these stripped down speeders?

They're just Land Speeders. No other rules needed.

That seems unlikely, all the other variant land speeders have rules.
