Another pic coming later.
Questions and Answers
The Daemons list will have additional Daemon units and other characters.
The Horus Heresy will keep going whilst books are purchased.
They are looking at expanding on some of the war bands of the Traitor Legions to show how they develop as traitors.
15-20 books in the Horus Heresy book series.
The loyalist Legions will change too including units and Characters.
They can't fit White Scars in which they are sad about.
Luther will be mentioned but not in this book.
Dark Angels history encompasses the Rangdan xenocide and may be explored.
Some other information of the wings will be revealed.
Assassins and agents for both sides will be added in the future.
Reason they did the red books was to quickly update armylists like Codexs.
The Horus Heresy is will always follow the core rule set. So it will transition with the new rule editions.
When they get to Tallarn they will change and add to the Solar Auxilia and Cults and Militia lists.
Dark Mechanicum will be mainly be add a Daemon to a vehicle, bind it and let's see what happens kind of thing.
The Dark Mechanicum mess around with tech previously forbidden to them too (Xenos and dark age tech too).
Always at the bottom of the Forge World of Sarum a possible evil lurks. . . with possible previous access to forbidden tech etc.
Will see several narrative conflicts between BA and DA with the Dark Mechanicum.
Finally more Night Lords, I am truly glad about this!
ReplyDeleteIs that 15-20 books left in the HH BL series? Or the FW black books?
ReplyDelete15-20 Black Books of which we have 7 (8 if you include Angelus).
DeleteDaemons and dark mechanicum miniatures from forgeworld.. my dreams!!!
ReplyDeleteapproximate date?
End of 2017 or beginning of 2018
DeleteThe first few HH books seemed to land just prior to Xmas: I really miss that. Used to make my Christmas! I hope Angelus makes a November 2017 release...
Delete*We have the Blood Angels and Dark Angels rules already but they may be refined and altered.*
ReplyDeleteI guess they might clear up a few bits like who can get what.
*looks at Blood Angels with Assault cannons*
Hopefully gives DA slightly better legion rules aslo.
DeleteI'm hoping the fluff in book 8 details more about Baal & Baal secundus - something GW has never elaborated on. Tribes, weapons etc and how this influences the legion. I can but hope!
DeleteI wonder will we see Slaaneshii & Tzeentchian Daemon Princes of the Ruinstorm and/or rules for Daemon Primarch versions of Fulgrim & Angron.
ReplyDeleteThey've mentioned they wanted to do daemon primarchs. Probably won't happen if GW release them in 40k though.
DeleteProbably ;)
DeleteWhatever gets me a daemon Angron fastest.
DeleteThink they would need rules so they could be used with respective Legions in Age of Darkness.
Deletewhere are Magnus nipple horns ?
ReplyDeleteNo nipple horns for 30k Magnus :P
Delete? makes no sense. He has them in all artworks
DeletePerhaps he only wears them when he feels the need to slip into something more uncomfortable?
DeleteThe conversion Must Be Made!
DeleteI'm actually tempted to convert him, so that he has the horns
DeleteThey were removed from the design because they are totally unfunctional and obstructive. Pretty sure no one in the world / galaxy would want two giant nipple tusks sticking out of their chest when fighting in hand to hand with a spear.
DeleteAnd if there's one thing 30K and 40K are, it's pragmatic and down to earth :P
DeleteThanks for the info!! Dark Angels, Daemons and Dark Mechanicum... awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhen it will be published Angelus?
going by book seven it will take two years
DeleteBlood Angels, Dark Mechanicum and new Daemons, Angelus sounds like a cracking book.
ReplyDelete15-20 books?! I'd assumed 10! That's amazing. So around another decade left to go... makes the Horus Heresy one of the most detailed alternate history settings ever.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Siege of Terra and Solar War will cover at least three books... if they're dealing with the great scouring as part of the series, that's another 2-3... so that's 5-6 so far. Wow. A lot of ground to cover!
I do feel that the mid-late Heresy period lacks really charismatic huge set piece battles: logically there would be some gigantic conflicts here as Horus starts to drive through the Segmentum Solar towards Terra. I guess this will dovetail neatly with Adeptus Titanicus (and maybe even Heresy-era BFG) to cover the "road to Terra" section of the Heresy.
I'm really pleased to hear FW are really committed to the long haul of completing the narrative fully! :-)
They said similar to at the last warhammer fest - another 9 years possibly! The titan death gets covered in a latter book, explaining why there's so few titans in 40k. That was nearly a year ago, but it sounds like their sticking to their original plan.
DeleteIts like they are planning on work til retirement...
DeleteThanks for the coverage. Any clue if the wolf units will be released?
ReplyDeleteWill be released, but I don't think the Terminators are being worked on right now.
DeleteAll told, I'm a little underwhelmed by how little attention VF seems to have gotten... Beyond the basic armour/pauldron upgrades; Geigor; Russ and Freki/Geri; and the future Contemptor Dreadnought - has anything else been announced?
DeleteIts not terribly unusual. Iron Warrior have waited a long time to finally get their tyrant siege terminators, and the Ultramarines have only gotten one special unit, Guilliman, the usual upgrade shoulder pads/helmets, and the breacher upgrade pack. The Ultras haven't even gotten a fancy contemptor yet. I would give them some time as I'm sure it will be beautiful when it is released. :)
DeleteExactly how I feel especially as 1k sons seem to be receiving all but one of their units. Grrrr
DeleteAre those the only pictures of Magnus? They don't have a whole body shot of him?
ReplyDeleteHe will be unveiled for the first time at Warhammer Fest and should be on sale at the event. I think the intention was to show him off over this weekend by the 40k guilliman leak prevented that!
DeleteThe coverage was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteWas there any takers for a spare event exclusive Custodes? Anyone get a second that they would like to help a fellow hobbits from North America?
Thanks again Bunnies! It was awesome!
I would love more VF stuff and will just have to be very patient for Scars!
I really hope they cover Molech and they update the SoH. Lupercii would be nice too
ReplyDeleteThis will be done, major event for the Warmaster! No idea what book though!
DeleteSo, what is the passage lf the angel lf death?
ReplyDeleteNo elaboration was provided, they did say some of it would be new.
DeleteNice. I'm hoping Some cool DA stuff, but could really be either legion.
DeleteThanks for allthe coverage guys. Much appreciated.
On a side note... think the plastic thunderhawk could be the big reveal for Warhammer fest? ;)
We were thinking plastic thunderhawk at Warhammer Fest as well! Although now that Magnus will be there I'm thinking that it will come later in the year. It would be weird to overshadow Magnus with the thunderhawk.
DeleteUnless they have him and a squad of thousand sons charging out the front ramp 😲
DeleteI did wonder that when i read about magnus being kept till then. Maybe we'll get some leaks of the thunderhawk on the friday before the event again :)
That would be awesome!
DeleteWas there any mention on a potential release timeframe for Magnus? Which looks stunning btw.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you bunnies for your awesome coverage as always. You are just amazing. :-)
Warhammer Fest was mentioned for unveiling and hopefully for sale.
DeleteThanks :-)
DeleteI'm really interested in what the Red Angel (IE the possessed marine, not Angron) will look like.
ReplyDeletein preference to truly exercise them, you need to maintain them constantly challenged.ensure that you are effectively education your center. this doesn't suggest definitely doing balancing moves or workout-ball crunches. http://t-rexmuscleadvice.com/alpha-monster-advanced/
ReplyDeleteany idea when the sekhmet terminator upgrades will come out?
ReplyDeleteNo date given!
Delete"They can't fit White Scars in"....into book 7-8, or ever?!
ReplyDeleteThey will be done, waiting for them to arrive in the story. They did want to put them in book 8 but not enough room and they want to do them properly!
DeleteAh, thanks for the clarification!
ReplyDeleteDear Forgeworld
ReplyDeleteWhen we get Dark mechanicum automata, and in the same vain as the re-imagined master of signal, can we have one that is a re-imagined version of the chaos dreadnaught from Space Crusade?!!
Do you think Death Guard will show up in next several books and get new stuff before they become plague marines?
