The Aurox is like a mash up of all the Imperial transports... And I dig it.

It's also going to be really, really popular with 30k Militia players...

I love it too. I’m really glad to see the Solar Auxilia are getting something. It was starting to feel like they’d just been abandoned, not quite finished.

Book 8 Malevolence confirmed to be White Scars and Blood Angels.

Book 9 retains the name Angelius and will focus on the Thamas Crusade and Dark Mechanicum.

I don't have the words to describe how angry I am right now...

Disappointed I can understand, but angry ..?

Yeah, I'm sad my Dark Mechanicum have to wait again, but I'm pleased for the White Scars players and hopeful for my own Alpha Legion (fingers crossed and toes too for a revision to the Headhunters to actually make them worth taking!).

Angry? No, pleased they're moving forward again and that 30k can regain it's momentum. There's lots to be genuinely angry about in the universe, but not this.

Forge World, I love you very much... but Scoria's resin base is fething ridiculous, how much money will you be asking me for that alone? I don't want all that base, I likely won't be using it at all anyway, so lets not, huh?

But if FW don't put those giant scenic bases in the models how will they charge that 20-25 extra pounds to have a higher price than GW? If they cost the same the boutique feeling will dissapear!

I would have greatly appreciated them bulking up scoria instead, with just a bit of that resin. The Vodian Sceptre is a hideously powerful weapon and on him, it looks like an ork runtherd's proddin stick.

Scoria is ridiculous, but of course he is, that's what the Character Series is now; Valdor is even worse in that regard, going on 70% of the "model" is scenic base. I don't even want to think about how much the "scenic base" for the Emperor/Horus/Sanguinius' corpse thing is going to be.

Dat Termite tho. The Mole I can take or leave, it's another of those HUEG kits I'll never use because I'm still stubbornly sticking to the pretense that 40K is a platoon-to-company skirmish game and not 28mm Epic, but Termites? If those go in Cyraxus and they work how they should(basically Drop Pods that can burrow again and re-deepstrike the following turn during the game) I might have to mortgage my flat.

Alpharius and the oldschool-style Speeder both look excellent, and I'm also glad they kept the helmet for him.

Hats off to Forgeworld for getting those pre-orders up today.

Here’s to some disappointed Scalpers!

Looks like the termite is available to legions! From warhammer community

The Taerrax pattern Termite Assault Drill is a blast from the past – a burrowing transport vehicle that first appeared in the Epic-scale game Space Marine many years ago. It takes a squad of warriors deep underground, using multi-directional drills to manoeuvre beneath the enemy and bursting out of the ground in the heart of their formations, disgorging Space Marines and blasting enemy apart with volkite beams.

We got it today. Wait a year longer, at a minimum.

But, word is also that we'll be getting Dark Age toys, such as the Void Glaive. And Rights of War for all 6 Wings.

More on the Termite. Want to take these along with the new Squat!

Well thank god this isn't even a rhino variant then

This thing is a mash up of chimera and russ parts with some fancy track guards.

Where are you getting those Warhammer Community pictures? I can't see the article in the web even reloading cache.

I know, I wasn't saying that because I think this was based in the rhino, was more of a "As much as I dislike the boxy design of imperial vehicles": I really hate the damm Rhino chasis.

And for a certain mod:

alpharius looks soooooooooo dope

Bloody hell, more! From battle bunnies

Everything is better with a helmet.

Alpha Legion is at least for me, the best looking Space Marine Legion, chaotic or loyal, just behind Thousand Sonds Pre-Heresy. Both in design and colour scheme.

Even more from battle bunnies

The return of the Flying Bench™ is a welcome surprise. Too bad I already went on an Ebay spree awhile back to pick up several of the old (but newer than the Flying Bench™) metal landspeeders for my army.

Which while not total disaster is still bad. Or you think they will keep updating two systems? No support is still bad. Nothing is ever perfect so if only support comes to trash edition...

Yes, then they'll decide on where to go from there. No gaurantee they'll switch, just reexamine the issue at that point.
