Having a single FW thread would be easier.

Do you think that there is enough other content to make a generic FW thread needed? FW don't seem to be doing any releases for AOS, is there much 40k only stuff?

They haven't done 40k stuff in a long while and the main 40K studio don't seem to be putting out rules for any Heresy releases, at least not lately. AoS are getting shuffled off with the recent spate of Last Chance to Buy and the 40k line seems to be reducing (latest to go was the 40k Imperial Guard Rapier). The other specialist games (Titanicus, Blood Bowl, Necromunda, Aeronautica) all have their own threads. Don't see the point with keep a generic FW thread that will be pretty much all Heresy related. If that changes, you can always open up a new generic thread.

Aye, FW's 40k range is going to dwindle into nothingness over the next couple of years, if past trends are anything to go by. For better or worse, they are the HH + specialist guys now.

They've not actually removed too much from the Xenos lines for 40K and I was under the impression more of what they've removed from Marines were things like shoulderguards.
That said they've been slashing a load of Age of Sigmar models including some really good ones (magma dragon, wolfrats etc.. ergo things that are in no way old/dated or looking poor compared to current offerings).

What FW's plans are are impossible to guess at really and I get the feeling that not only is there internal politics going on, but also that FW itself and GW don't really know what to do and it keeps shifting and changing around in the background. They even formed and AoS team for less than a year, which only released a efw stormcast heads before it was disbanded.

A lot of 30k stuff can be used in 40k, like those da terminators we were all just drooling over. Not to mention all the hellforged/relic units. Dreadnoughts are particularly common in 40k. Of course the recent ca shows that gw's rules team doesn't pay much attention to fw.

I just recently reminded them that they forgot to adapt prices on atleast 5 units in the FW part.
still wating for a response.

Then again i am waiting for a response for 2 years now on the command vox net for R&H and for the interaction of enforcers with Marauders in regards to morale....

Yeah I've sent multiple emails about why the hellforged super heavys are still horrendously over priced. It's possible that they may actually address the omissions in the faq but I'm not holding my breath.

The rumors of a traitor guard codex is particularly worrisome for any updates to R&H.

if it is named traitor guard or R&H if the list provides an improvement on the clusterfeth that it is and was i am happy.
Also were there any new rumors for them or have i missed something.

Nothing in recent weeks other than mentions in faith and fury lore. I think a lot of the speculation was fueled by the Blackstone fortress traitor guard models. But it would obviously be an easy move. Gw could just sell current ig models and expect us to convert them like they did for the majority of the chaos knights units. (As we already do for R&H without the benefit of the oop conversion kits from fw).

New today - the Legion Arquitor Bombard with Spicula Rocket System!

Spoiler:

The Legion Arquitor Pattern Bombard is a heavy artillery platform designed to operate at the forefront of the Legiones Astartes' advance. Equipped with a reinforced chassis and brutal short-range firepower, it is called upon to break the most stubborn of fortifications or to annihilate massed enemy infantry and armour.

Available to both Loyalist and Traitor forces, the Legion Arquitor Pattern Bombard can be fielded in units of up to three vehicles. The spicula rocket system is able to remove any obstacle to the advance of your Space Marines army in a series of devastating explosions. You can also add even more firepower to your indomitable artillery platform in the shape of sponson-mounted heavy bolters or autocannons. If you need to add mobile heavy firepower to your force, the Arquitor Pattern Bombard is ideal.

30k Rules link.

**Kdash**

I look at that tank and genuinely don’t even know what to say other than “why?”.

**queen_annes_revenge**

I quite like it. looks like the old hedgehog depth charge launchers from ww2

**Not Online!!!**

it' s like the love child of a panzerwerfer, katyusha and a sicarian.

I kinda like it.

**Gadzilla666**

How big is the crew? It only has one entry point. Can you say "death trap"? And those treads look flat. At least dry brush a little necron compound on there.

**Crimson**

Dear Emperor, did they let the same sculptor who made the upside down Space Wolf bolters to sculpt vehicles, and that's how we got these terrible backwards tanks?

Doesn't that look lot like the small fast attack vehicles some time ago? If yes it's one crew inside.

Looks more like a backwards Sicaran, which has two crew (driver & gunner), but I'm not sure where the gunner would go in it.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I do quite like that. Also nice it gives guaranteed hits should the template be even vaguely on target.

Quite keen on the smaller tank chassis we’re seeing. They seem somehow more Space Marine than larger chassis.

**Glumy**

Looks cool!

Alot of MARINE stuff can be used in 40k, apart from Custodes and Knights everyone else gets alot less and its declining all the time.

The new Marine tank is IMO really ugly..... and not in a good way - compared to the great looking DA terminators....

It's at least as big as a Sicaran judging by the sponson auto cannons. That means at least a two man crew. I'm guessing they both use the top hatch. That means death trap.

Xenos do still have the big eldar hover tanks which I personally prefer to wraithknights and several tau battle suits but yeah it's declining. And don't forget the squigoth.
