Still waiting for Hammerblade myself.

We don't have a baneblade hull with the warhound inferno blastgun yet...

Based on the naming convention, this would be the rear half of two different superheavies welded together in some horrendous chop-shop assault on the Omnissiah's bounty

Am I the only one who's lost when it comes to the names of the Imperial Guard super heavy tanks. Just use the words 'Shadow', 'Storm' or 'Bane' followed by 'Sword', 'Lord', 'Hammer', 'Blade', etc. the combinations are endless, but you kinda end up getting very confused

Thats where this cheat-sheet comes in

I find that cheat sheet useless. It doesn't tell me anything, there's no commonality shared between the different terms. It's not like all the "Hammers" have fixed weapons or all the "Storms" have plasma weapons or something.

And the "Fellhammer" and "Fellsword" aren't even called that.

Not to mention that the Banelord is a Chaos Titan.

I think we found where all the LI terrain kits ended up...

If the naming scheme was logical, there would be no need for the cheat sheet

they did the exact same thing with the Middle Earth terrain, sent him a load, which he did wonders with but by the time the video came out the stuff was like hens teeth to actually buy

Drop Pods, Land Raiders, Direwolves, Warhounds, Solar Auxilia Artillery and Arvus next week.

I will be in the market for Drop Pods, but not for a bit yet.

Still no sign of Stormhammers, starter set Tanks or Marine Fast Stuff though.

That's a huge release wave for next week! Hopefully the quantities will be there this time (still waiting for a previous wave order that was supposed to be fully stocked, but in the end wasn't).

A bit weird to see that they didn't see fit to package both weapon sprues with the Warhounds. We can hope that both sprues will be available in direct order down the line, I really like to have all options available and magnetized for my Titans.

Ouch, this saturdays preorders and these ones dropping next week will be seriously eating into my monthly gaming budget..

LR Proteus and at least one drop pod kit for me are a must. Two drop pod kits would be even better though.. I'll see how much I can stretch other things..

Interestingly, almost nothing that went to preorder this week seem to be sold out even temporarily.. and there was a bunch of stuff announced. Has GW finally been able to tackle their POS supply issues?!

Didn't expect the warhounds so soon. Probably the only kit I feel inclined to purchase for Titanicus at this time...

Good to see the Arvus getting released as well.

Excellent news!

The continued lack of the starter set tanks is frustrating. But imo it wouldn't be terrible if the Stormhammers were one of the last things released from the current units that we have rules for. We already have one SA superheavy tank, and it can cover while we get the other necessary stuff out on the shelves.

Also few flyers properly available,

I could go some Xiphon, even though they’re points intensive.

Just Dire Wolf for me, thanks.

They've been pretty cheap second-hand from folks breaking up the starter set, as really only people who play AT need more than one pair. I'd definitely check ebay before paying £45+ or whatever GW want for them separately.

I wonder if the plan for LI now is to steadily drop 4-6 kits each month and get caught up, rather than trying to fulfill stock for a massive wave of everything that's pending.

My wallet is not happy. Definitely looks like my monthly budget is going to be ignored.
Ah well, who needs food anyway.

Yep I got the new ones from eBay for less than a regular warhound box goes for at a discounter.

I appreciate your advice.

To be honest I only get GW stuff through Wayland as their 20% discount, with practically free p&p, makes a lot of difference. That said I've had a run of bad luck, of late, with interesting products going for direct-only prices.

I’ve got four of the new Warhounds I’m not wanting if you’re interested? Also a shocker of a month bills wise, so happy to do a reasonable price.

So, are these Warhounds the same as the ones in the starter set, or are there additional weapons for them? I know the starter set ones came with Ursus Claws and Shock Lances, but I don't remember them coming with missile pods and melta lances.

Same ones. The sprue has 2 rocket pods with 2 options each, 2 volkite, 2 shock lances, 2 ursus claws, and 2 melta lances

Prices.
Bad news, the drop pods are as expensive as expected.
Good news apparently the old Warhound variant, the Warbringer and Warmaster (not sure if only one version or they combined the normal and Iconoclast version into one box) are coming this week too even thought they weren't in the preorder article

On the bright side, you get to play with your 8 drop pods for 40€ next week, we who paid the same price for a 2000 point Epic Warpath army have to wait a year.

You mean 4 drop pods for 40€

Uhhhh

Yikes.

I saw another version of this in Discord that listed the AT Manufactorum terrain available again as direct-only. It didn't have a price, but last time it was sold the box was £30 RRP.

that price for four drop pods is urine extraction, they may well ne nice models but if ever there was a game model thats both easy to proxy and easy to replace with a small card token its a drop pod.

at least they were self aware enough not to try four Rhino for £30

I see it as a good thing only in that it potentially limits how many pods we'll see in lists. They're already sortof the least justifiable in that they just land and are there. You could literally just pay the x points you do for each one to give a unit deep strike and call it a day honestly.

That would usually bother me, but in a game where infiltrate is unlimited, broken and allows you to charge turn 1 I feel like there are bigger fish to fry.

quite, have models for deathstrike, though even they could be a template, don't bother with the actual pods

and yes.. very much yes
