Magnetised transport is well on it's way to being mandatory for GW games for sure.

If they never made another model with the swirly nonsense, that'd be just grand.

Whenever I see model with clouds of energy, gas, or whatever underneath it, I just can't help thinking "man, that guy must have eaten a lot of beans before the battle"

I notice that when GW re-introduced Combat Cards some week ago, they have chosen the Avatar from Forge World on the card.
I wonder if they told the metal Avatar, or if he found out reading the community post

Funny that version isn't on the forgeworld webstore..

Nevermind. Missed an additional few posts.

Hello guys,

Some news from Kikasstou on the french warhammer forum:

For Black Templars:

They'll be in the Psychic Awakening Tome 2 against Chaos. You'll have all the rules to play them and with some extra: enhanced doctrine, BT litany table, new warlord traits, relics and stratagems. No primaris Hellbrecht or Grimaldus but some rule change.



- For 1 CP the turn when you disembark from your crusader LR: no overwatch and -1 to hit in close combat.

- New relic: 4++ within 3" for 1 round.

- New warlord trait: +1 advance and charge.

- New Stratagem: on 2+, you can't disengage from close combat.



Some news for Blood Angels players:
They'll be in the Psychic Awakening Tome 3 against Tyranids. (Not before Spring)

And nothing about what will be for chaos?

I thought the Tyranids around Baal were all defeated?

Maybe the Hive Mind is winding up for Round 2: Psychic Bugalu.

Yup. Demons appeared and killed them because only they get to kill the Blood Angels. You know that sounds like super bad fanfic now I read that back.

Hey, Khorne is very possessive when it comes to blood. That's why he has a monopoly on blood drives in the 41st millennium. Blood, its in you to give.

 H.B.M.C. wrote:

Yep. The BA's Greater Daemon adversary jumped up and down on the entire hive fleet (somehow... despite the daemon arriving on one moon, and the tyranids were on both moons and Baal itself, and in space), made a giant rune of their skulls to mock the BA and... peaced out. Effectively saving the chapter and all its surviving successors at the cost of one moon.

The Roboute arrived with primaris reinforcements to clean up the fleet remnants and magically restore the horrendous casualties the BA took, so all BA chapters are 50-70% Primaris.

There is also this from Kikasstou on the forums;

Orks vs SW Volume 4, apparently where we see Primaris Ragnar and maybe Ghazzy, though I'm not sure about Ghazzy because I'd put him on a higher "level" than Ragnar.

If this is true, and there's all likelihood it is, I'm very disappointed the next book is SM vs Chaos, again. Like they haven't had enough.

Poor Necrons.

Also I see a tendency of Space Marines vs X.
Guess I should consider myself lucky xenos boi since we got just an Eldar thing.

Way too many marines, as usual /sadface.

Yeah, when you see how much work they put in the Codex, i don't think the army is a priority for them. I doubt we'll see a V2 codex too.
Point changes in CA2019 hopefully but it won't change that some of our rules don't work like tomb world deployment.

Too right! But at least us poor relation xenos are getting something.

Although, there's no news of GK or DA, so they're probably not the happiest. But people reckon that it's possible there's a Fallen vs DA set coming via PA possibly heralding the return of the Lion (in which case all would be forgiven).

Blood Angels were virtually wiped out before - Didn't they go down to something like 10 front line marines after assaulting a Space Hulk?

It looks like its just another wave of Marine dexes with various opponents (a few of which might get the odd model) with an excuse of a grand campaign - sad really and pretty much a large scale Viglis.

Plastic Aspect and Inclubi are nice but the real volume of models will be Marines Although they might actually do something more than the Wolves/Angels yet again - maybe the Legion of the Damned, but doubt it given they just had to cram the Dark Angels into White Dwarf once again rather than an actual Chapter without rules.

Sisters of Silence would be cool to get a full army or at least get the FW models like Custodes did - after all they are formidable defence against Psykers.

Black Templars should be interesting but given that there is no set size of codexes they could have made a decent sized Imperial Fists splatbook and included them.

I'm kind of glad Sisters aren't in one tbh. It'd feel like day 1 DLC.

You don't think it will be anyway? The 2 week FAQ will be needed to either sort of the OP elements (Index Acts of Faith) or to try and boost the weak and bland (beta Dex style)

A rise in the psychic background would be a good excuse for the Sisters to be more powerful as they channel the worship of the Emperor.....

Well, aren't Necrons known, or were known, to be in the vicinity of Baal?

I doubt we Necrons would receive much besides a character model or two and, maybe (fingers crossed) our Pariah back (although I really doubt it). That could easily be 2-3 pages in the BA book, if they choose to go that way.

The "dream" would be a plastic dual kit, that let you build either, say, Imotekh or Anrakyr (for example). Not that I think they would actually do that.

The idea of Primaris Ragnar makes me really happy I gave up on my Wolves tbh.

Ugh, I don't want a Blood Angels v. Tyranids grudge match.

I love how the rumour has an undefined book 5. Why would there be a gap in information there unless its a super secret plot turn. What if all the eldar die in book 1, and miraculously resurect in book 5 when all hope is lost! Although, no one would actually be surprised they returned.

I was looking at today's Regimental Standard and didn't recognize the Eldar in the middle of the image, with a back banner and kind of 'halo' on the back of his helmet. Could this be a new model, or just an Eldar figure I am not familiar with?

Should just be an Autarch,

I was hoping for some rework on some little things, like the Exarch Powers. I find the C'tan extremely boring right now. In 5th they were not particulary impressive, but they offered other (not very good but fluffy) power like Lord of Fire or Writhing Worldscape.
Or Cryptek Harbingers that gave a little customization. At least gave us access to Eldricht Lance for Cryptek.

I'm quite bored to have almost next to nothing interesting to chose for any HQ unit.

I suspect it's just a Farseer or Autarch but I could be wrong.

I don't recognise the model either to be honest.

If it is, it looks very different from the Autarch in the store.
