No Model No Rules. Jain Zar tm has the Silent Death tm wargear tm so she gets to use an assault 3 strength user ap-3 weapon. Other models purchaseable from games workshop plc do not have that modeled wargear tm and so do not get to have that weapon option.


This joke was unfunny when people started doing it... ten years ago. Find new material, for the love of God.

The supply does not get to make the demands.

One of the reasons I think they chose Incubi was that they are a mercenary unit; they can roll with a Kabal, a Coven or a Cult. Had they chosen a Kabal unit, people who preferred Cults or Covens would have felt shafted, etc.


Or, you know, they could have actually given DE multiple units.


While it is too soon to reach the conclusion than multiple kits will be released, it is equally too soon to determine that there will be only one.


Sadly GW hates us, we havent had a new unit in over 9yrs where every other faction has (not talking about reboxing, or finecast to plastic, i mean a new unit entry). DE is the only faction that hasnt gotten anything from their new release in 5th ed in 2010, they have only taken units away.


Well except for Sisters and Necrons (I don't remember any new units since their 5th ed reboot, though admittedly that 5th ed reboot happened after the deldar 5th ed reboot)

"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!"

When did Necrons get the Tesseract Vault? I thought that was a 6th edition Apocalypse release, but I might be wrong.

For Banshees? Absolutely. Theyve already teased Exarch powers.

Will that translate to baseline stat changes or additional wargear options from their codex entry? No bloody clue.

I hope they get something that let's them break out of the S3 issues they have. Sure the exarch has some tools but you don't pay for the exarch, you pay for the squad.

Grots however. For all that is Vect, please give us plastic Grotesques.

If they make plastic Grotesques the coven part of the line would be almost completely plastic except for urien.

Since art manager had one job and couldn't do it right, they done it right.

Now you’ve seen the amazing illustration, wouldn’t you love to recreate that scene on the battlefield with plastic miniatures? Well, it won’t be long before you can!

The iconic triskele in the Howling Banshee’s right hand can mean only one thing – it’s Jain Zar! But who is her opponent, and – more crucially – how are they able to go blade-to-blade with the legendary Phoenix Lord without being cut to ribbons?


We’ve already shown you the Exarch and Klaivex from the upcoming Howling Banshees and Incubi kits, so make sure you check back with us again on Monday, when we’ll be revealing the first of the duellists! If you thought the Exarch and Klaivex were awesome (which they totally are!), wait until you see who’s coming!


I guess we'll see a new Jain Zar or (probably) Drazhar on Monday, then - mildly surprised that the duel isn't Karandras vs. Drazhar, though.

I'm just hoping she gets actual good rules...and maybe we get a hint of what other Phoenix Lords could benefit from. I have a painted old metal one - won't be bothering with the plastic one (particularly at the assumed $40-45+ pricetag)...but if new rules mean mine suddenly isn't so crap - it'd be nice

Man I wish they'd put us out of our misery and tell us whether or not its just a one off aspect and lord kit release before going back to doing marines for 2 more years or if we get a steady flow or failcast replacements... just tell us... tell ussss!!!!!

But interesting to see Jain Zar as the first PL reboot. maybe they are testing the waters to see how much change they can get away with. I personally really dislike the current look of the sculpt so anything will be an improvement..

W. Artel already has some gorgeous replacement Phoenix Lords, but they're resin - something I'd rather not hassle with (maybe in the future). At $14 a pop they're also a damned bargain compared to the GW upcoming ones.

He currently has Jain Zar, Karandras, and Fuegan.

That would be hella cool! Give them an excuse to release a named Archon.

They could really used kill team as a vehicle for releasing Aspects and Phoenix Lords, as well as all the missing DE characters. Blackstone is another vehicle.

This year, we got two campaigns; the first was Vigilus. It was two books. It was like a campaign with training wheels, and you can bet GW ran all the analytics- how many copies of book one, did it spike model sales of the targetted kits, vs copies of book two and its co-relational sales plus engagement in the online tools. Studies revealed that both books sold enough to justify another campaign series, and co-relational sales were high enough to justify taking the risk on releasing models that aren't marines.

If it works, you can count on at least one campaign series a year, where every faction gets something- rules, or models or both. Plus the Kill Team/ Blackstone trick. A handful of codices will be updated every year, and if sales of the Marine Dex + Supplement system are high enough, they'll try to shoehorn others into that system too; they just have to expand other factions enough that there's material to support a re-release in the Dex + Supplement style.

Rules will continue to evolve, slowly and incrementally- first as recommendations in the spring update, then finalized or rejected in CA. This will prevent the need to risk 9th.

Some people won't like it that way, but I think it's brilliant. Even when we traded up to a better edition, the act of hitting a giant reset button always felt like a huge betrayal, whereas updates via CA always feel like a small hit of novelty that doesn't require a massive reinvestment. It's also great for those who collect multiple armies.

I think PL would have to be gak in 40k in order to fit KT.. If they ahve rules resembling anything thye have now they will be mad OP in KT.

Resin types can be very different from each other. Artel W resin is not like GW finecast. It's tough, accurate and easy to work with.

French rumours state as much. It's 2 PL and 2 squads for Eldar - then we're back on track.

Since we're very likely only getting Banshees I can see one of two things happening:

1) We get an aspect for each book of this silly campaign they keep raving about.

2) We get an aspect for each overall campaign, so we'll have a trickle of an aspect/Phoenix Lord every 7-8 months for a while.

I will be shocked if we get a large wave at once though.

if the IF rumors are true IFs won't include black templarsd in their book. there's rumors of a BT vs Orks box, so my guess is after eldar it'll be Black Templars vs Orks and likely see the release of information for black templars (expect them to get rules ala black legion in vigil;us ablze) I imagine Orks will get something unique too, even if simply a plastic warboss, although proably more then that.

Opinions are not facts please don't confuse the two

Not trying to derail the thread but Artelw resin is top nocht, perfectly detailed (it looks almost plastic) and require no work on it, aside glueing the pieces and can prime just straight away.

@Shadenuat, that pic it's old and dates back to the Fracture of Biel Tan book, so nothing there indicates any new intent as it was used as showing part of the plot going on back then.

True but models are not designed and produced in few months either.

Jain Zar and Drazhar art is also 2018?

If GW focusses on Ynnari, they are definitely on the wrong track.
The painting scheme is nice and the models look nice on paper.
But they are unplayable from the competitive point of view.
