Hey all. I just wanted to let you all know that the Baneblade and Stompa will be released FOR SURE. I'm sorry if somebody has already said this. But from what I have heard nothing was official. I am an ex GW employee and am still friends w/ quite a few managers and the like. Apparently there are contests going on where staff will be getting them as prizes. Just thought I would share.

Banewho?

and the stompa is HAWT!

As good as jamiesson's?

Neat first post.

ZOMG!!!! ZOMG!!! I WET MY PANTZ!!! A Plaztik BANE BlaDE?!?!?! SchweeTT!! Dat will be sooo kewl wif my Spase Marhrienz! THree ove them 3ven@!!!! LOOOWL!

I don't know if it could compete with jamiesson's.

Okay, even if those models were to be sold, I frankly have no use for either. Fantastic news for some, so thank you none the less. I hope your friends, and friends of friends enjoy their models. Sorry to hear about the GW job and I hope you find a new one soon.

Ignore the rudeness Death jester you'll get used to it....some of these guys are real jerks. thanks for the info.

Dude, I can't believe you fell for it! Oh man. Plastic baneblades are an old wives tale, like plastic cadians and the Pan Fo, never to be reviled.

The big campain this summer is going to set around 10k armies so 'big' 40k things are needed. Also plastic drop pods are a good bet for the Marines as well.

actually, the big campaign this summer is based around playing Warhammer Fantasy
Nemesis Crown, ya know, they're talking about it in WD each month.
no 40K for summer (but soon after)
and no plastic drop pods (yet...)

nyarlathotep667: your are so sigged fot that one

He was talking about Apocalypse if I am correct. The new mega battle rule set for 40k that is being released maybe this summer.

Yes, both are for Apocalypse.

How is this 'info'? It's not like it's not been rumored for years. Add to that a new poster comes on with absolutely nothing to back up his claims and you'll see why the posters are skeptical.

origonally I heard that the plastic drop pods were going to be coming out with space wolves but since that dex isnt even on the radar yet I am not so sure now...

On the news of mega plastic kits I wish that they would do something for eldar like maybe the scorpion grav tank... until that happens ork and imperial armies will be eating my ass

Well, GW will bring out a plastic Baneblade, the big question is only when. It will not have all the details of the FW version.... but it will still be huge.

I'd say this rumour is far from incorrect. They've been buzzing about the stompa and baneblade as part of Codex: Apocalypse over on warseer for a while. And by "they" I mean people in the know as well as common folks

My source is VERY credible. And this is from the big mans voice him self Ernie Baker. This is not a random stupid post from a 10 year old punk. I worked for the company for 5 years as a store Manager and still have quite a bit of great sources for info. Store black shirts always get releases very early on to plan events. Oh and GW is a *fudge*in stressfull job that I am glad I no longer have. Discount is sorely missed but thats why we have Ebay = ). I will try to let ya all know stuff as I find it out! Cheers everyone.

Credibility????

What's that?

hehe
Ernie is credible?

but tis true, these kits will be available for apocalypse, which is not this summer

When someone links pics or sprues, then I'll believe. Until then this is just unsubstantiated rumor doubling as attempted wish fulfilment.

Well, Breotan, by now you should know, that nearly all my comments came true. I can support Jesters anouncement.

Flamers and Trolls

Flamers and Trolls

Flamers and trolls never work together.  They're like ninjas and pirates.  Even with their stupidity, trolls know that fire is their one weakness because it stops their regeneration, so they'll seek out the bearer of the flamer and rend him apart first.  But you have to have the guy with the flamer to get past their regeneration.  Unless you meant flamer of Tzeentch and not flamer as in the prometheum squirting weapon, in which case they'd probably work together if the trolls are chaos trolls, but I'd keep them apart anyway because trolls are stupid and like I said they hate fire, so they might attack the flamers anyway.  Unless by flamer you meant homosexual, because I don't know that trolls care what someone's sexual preference is, I tend not to think about trolls as sexual creatures.  Ew.  Unless they're Slaaneshi chaos trolls.  More ew.  But, of course, trolls can't have marks so that's right out.

Heh. Pot meet kettle...

I love the Psycho babble Chaos thats what I'm talkin bout baby Slaaneshi chaos trolls is THE way to live...

not too sure on Hellfury "stick up For ma Buddy" pot-kettle comment but Fssh!

I can't wait to see this plastic Bane Blade. You can't blame a fan for Pumpin rumors and especially when It feels like he Heard something special...
 
  so why do you guys have to come out of your holes and Knock the Brand new kid...post back too him like he's some kinda Kentucky Rube...(yeah that was low)...instead of Saying "hey welcome to Dakka!" he gets the @$$H@le treatment...which for this forum is "as usual" hence my post

"Ignore the rudeness Death jester you'll get used to it....some of these guys are real jerks. thanks for the info."

so Welcome to Dakka Death Jester it's one big happy Flaming Slaaneshi chaos troll family...
Ghaz didn't even post here he just looked for an opening to be a Flaming Slaaneshi chaos troll..he didn't even comment on Deathjester...his opening line was to me...WTF...Go away troll!

Your turn to post some 1/2 baked "intelligent" retort. please put 1/16 of the greatness as Crawling Chaos posted that was at least fun, thoughtful showed awesome random thought process and made me think of pink trolls with prince emblems...

>sniffle< I'm from Kentucky...  >runs off and cries in a corner<


JM

Except you're a new person on this forum which means YOU have no credibilty yet.

Why don't you go away, or are you such a hypocrite that you're allowed to flame sombdy and no one else is?  I made a comment on your rude remark as to why no one believed the original poster.  Seriously, the only troll here is you.
