Hell, even Shadow Spear discussion had someone declare every single new model garbage and terrible purchase because hellforged leviathan/deredeo guns are 50 times stronger for the equivalent points, yup, what great "balance" at work...

Yup, and that's why Alan wanted to migrate HH to 8th and was actually halfway through writing 8th edition HH rules despite dying before 8th edition was released... Oh wait

He Ibris, just stop, do you really need to be proven wrong about FW P2W lulz a second time?

So anyway, back to news. Is there nothing new this week apart from plugging the chaos marine upgrade parts? That's very dull if that's it.

Looks like it, unfortunately. Despite the fact that they have a large backlog of miniatures ready for release. Probably told not to release anything today to avoid "Stealing" from the new Chaos releases...

Don't know if it counts, but some of the pre-orders for Malevolence from the Weekender are out in the wild now and people are posting about it elsewhere.

People have been posting tons of spoilers from Heresy Book 8. Great stuff, including Sanguinius, Jagatai and lots of juicy new units for all legions.

Shame nothing was released today. I so want my quake and gatling cannons for my warlords! I'm much less bothered about leaks from an £80 rulebook for a game nobody in my area has played since 8th edition dropped.

Does anyone know how much Sanguinius and his scenic base will be when he is finally released?

125 gbp. Unless they decide to change it from the weekender release price.

Malevolence preview.

I'm actually interested to see what a 30k Daemon army looks like.

On Facebook, the community team said the pre-order will be up on Friday, along with some of the new Blood Angel models.

This isnt serious right? Thats insanely priced. Thats $165 USD. Thus far, the most expensive character series model is $124 USD.

I hope for some interesting daemon units from Forgeworld, but I won't hold my breath. A new leviathan variant seems more likely.

Oh lord, they felt the need to call out there's a section on rules for Daemon bases in the friggin' table of contents.

Was his name always spelt Tsolomon Khan, or is that a misprint? I've always seen it as Solomon, and felt it's a great nod to Solomon Cain, though it could be people hearing "Tsolomon" as "Solomon" when asking questions at the convention.

It’s Tsolmon, yeah. It still is a nod to Solomon Cain, presumably, just made more eastern looking because White Scars.

It’s just a page with the base size for each entry in the daemon list so you can use a variety of models for the entries. There’s not Bloodletters/Daemonettes etc in the list, there’s like ‘lesser daemon of the ruinstorm’ etc with loads of different options to differentiate. Lots you could do with it, someone elsewhere mentioned using Nighthaunt models which I like the idea of.

Even if the customizable daemons are terrible I'm definitely intrigued by what rules will be in place.

Sounding like they haven't change much of any of the new Sicaran profiles. Though the Punisher and Omega can be taken in squadrons of up to 2.

I really like it, its like the old 3.5 version of the Chaos Marine with the level of flexibility. They have managed to create something very different from 8th edition demons but you can still reuse your existing models. I am worried about balance of the list though as there are so many different options/upgrades a few broken combos could have slipped through. Time will tell on that I guess.

I wonder if GW's own internal policies of rumour prevention also comes into play.

FW mentioned at the Weekender that all FAQ updates, temporary rule releases (such as Sanguinius's rules) all have to go via Warhammer Community now so it wouldn't surprise me if Community is also managing all public release information for FW.

They hired a communication team. It seems silly not to have every team and department funnel through the communication department.

When did the Legion torso's get scrapped out of interest?

Early last year I wanna say.

Depends how well that team works, see the mistakes made over things like torsos and I know for a fact that stuff sits on their desk that is ready for release. I still don't have the rules for my Ordiantus Aktaeus, Anuj had given those rules given to the community team before the Weekender with the instruction to have them out in time for the Weekender yet they still sit on the Community teams desk. He can't give them to me so I'm stuck with a ~£300 model I haven't been able to use for weeks. When I chase them they give me a load of cobblers first about the rules not being ready, then them waiting for the model to be released. That's the opposite of what Forgeworld actually wanted for this model, Community shouldn't be making decisions like that.

Malevolence, Sanguinius (incl optional diorama base) and the Crimson Paladins are up for preorder:

https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-NL/Forge-World-New

AUD$184 without base.
AUD$288 (!) with base.

Are you 'avin' a laff???

Holy fething Emperor's balls, those prices! 156 euros for Sanguinius with base...

No seriously they need to reevaluate their prices.

Forge World Facebook advises that Sanguinius with Diorama Base is available online until 9th of May, after that date its only available at events and at Warhammer World.
