Any news in relation to imperial armour 14
ReplyDeleteNope. Last I heard was "after Inferno - Inferno is priority #1".
DeleteYes, it's not finished and targeted for mid 2017. It MAY be ready for Warhammerfest, but I was told to heavily stress the MAY in any quotes by Alan.
DeleteWho is Krole?
ReplyDeleteA Sister of Silence :)
DeleteArf... Nothing about a Space Wolves badass character? Or if Geigor will have rules in Inferno?
DeleteJust added a pic of her. She is a very big deal. Hand of the Emperor! She is to the sisters of Silence what Valdor is to the Custodes. :) she looks angry a lot.
Deletespeaking of hands of the emperor, I wonder if we will ever get Malcador the Sigilite
DeleteProbably at the Siege, or maybe if there is another "Shadow Wars" book.
DeleteAnything on Destroyers or are they still in "No one plays them so how do we change them?" hell?
ReplyDelete10 destroyers with 2 rad missiles, melta bombs and jump packs don't let me down.
DeleteThough I play World Eaters with them so they get the nice chainaxe boost
I play a similar load out. Problem is that that is an expensive unit, when you loose them you really feel it
DeleteJust a bit of info I got talking to sir alan...
ReplyDeleteThere's been a lot of discussion about angron needing a better save/extra wound etc..
It was deliberate to make him less resilient in book 1, as by the end of the crusade he was essentially dying cos of the butchers nails, and was not as powerful as he was earlier in the crusade.
They do intend to make at least one more version of him before he becomes a daemon prince. This version will probably be more powerful as he is nearing his ascent to daemonhood and gaining power again.
He'll also have different weapons of course.
Cheers.
Hi Dante! Thanks for that. Didn't see you today.
DeleteNo worries Drake.
DeleteGot in quite late and left quite early but really enjoyed the event.
Hopefully catch up with you guys at the weekender.
Front row again hopefully.
DeleteAny Inferno artwork? :)
ReplyDeleteNothing new. All was stuff shown at last event.
DeleteAny word of cost of mechanicum land raider?
ReplyDeleteThe Explorator was £95 I think.
DeleteNo news on the adeptus titanicus game? (Epic)
ReplyDeleteExpect news at the New Years event. Specailist games weren't in attendance today.
DeleteOverheard a conversation with one of the FW guys. The largest of the epic scale titans is about 2/3 of a gw knight. The epic scale of a gw knight is about the size of a terminator. They've just scaled down the knight computer files and tweaked a few bits, like larger rivets, to ensure they aren't lost on the smaller models. All in all it sounds like its progressing well.
DeleteBig snippet you missed is the Primach after Magnus is likely to be a semi primach. It's likely to be Valador, however it could be Sanginius. Dorn will appear when he plays a part in the story, as he has not appeared, he will wait. Unfortunatley Alpharius should have a model and has missed his spot.
ReplyDeleteSorry if you said it in an eariler post...
Hope is Sanguinius.
DeleteDid they say it'd be Simon sculpting it if it's Valdor?
Yep, he does all the primachs now.
DeleteOkey dokey. Do you know if Isreal still works for Forgeworld?
DeleteNot seen him in ages and not seen any new characters since Rubio.
I actually chatted with Kaelo about that, but wanted to talk to Drake first :P
DeleteSo yeah, it was on my mind hehe
Ah, stole thunder.... Sorryz
DeleteNo worries ^.^
DeleteJust wanted to see if Drakes got some more details. But yeah, it makes sense for Valdor to be the "Primarch" model for Custodes ^.^
Lol. As the Col. says. He will be a Primarch level character series sculpt. He won't be Primarch level stats but will be a beast.
DeleteAlan said he is literally the 20th most powerful individual in the heresy. Only the emperor and the primachs are "harder". This is so playground lol.
DeleteI guess Alan forgot about Scoria when he made that comment. Lol.
DeleteLol! Scoria is horrific to play! I dread facing him more than most primarch's!
DeleteIsrael does still work for them. He is there today too.
DeleteGood to know he's still at forgeworld.
DeleteHopefully he's been working on some character models we haven't seen yet.
I though he was doing all the other main players at the moment. Would be good to get him back on Primarchs. I'm sure Simon said he was working on Magnus, does that mean Israel will have Valador?
DeleteWell I thought Israel was doing the non-Primarch characters too but Rubio seems to be the last one released or even previewed (unless he did Casan Sabius?)
DeleteSimon is defo doing Magnus. He told be he'd been working on him for 3 weeks back in July.
Maybe they've got lots up their sleaves and all will be revealed at the weekender?
I'm hoping Israel does Valdor and Simon starts working on Sanguinius or the Lion.
Think it is looking like Lion will be the next Primarch.
DeleteWe're there any mention and/or artwork of the prospero spireguard anywhere?
ReplyDeleteLast thing, the rules for custodes we have been changed in inferno. These represent an old draft. Also the syneges in the list will make them a very savage list. All war gear is the highest level of dark age of technology tech. It's been retained by the emperor for his household troops only.
ReplyDeleteAh looks like Magnus'll get stuck with some useless generic TS powers instead of getting invisivility! Praise the Emperor for that.
ReplyDeleteThe thousand sons have 5 separate psychic disciplines, some very similar to the generic ones outlined in the 40K rule book. I wouldn't rule out invisibility just yet ;).
DeleteNo invisibility in 30k pls. Bad enough in 40k creating horrible combos. Dont want that in 30k
DeleteDo they have their own psychic disciplines not from the main 40k rule book then? Five totally new ones?
DeleteAny news on when we will be getting all this extra custode stuff and when/if Valdor will drop?
ReplyDeleteYou could be seeing the Caladius by end of the month. The Porphyrion should be out end of the month too. The Palis not sure. Valdor not sure.
DeleteExcellent news on both fronts, except for the wallet. It's crying.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteJust looked at your earlier ousts and answered my own question! Doh. Thanks for these updates!
DeleteWell, I was trying to decide which new Legion to start with the Prospero box, but if the next book is Dark and Blood Angels, I think I start up some Blood Angels and wait on Sanguinius.
ReplyDeleteI just need to know if it's safe for me to start building my 1k sons using the rules from the red book, or if should wait until February for inferno.
ReplyDeleteTactical squads etc are safe. Leave transfers off for now I say.
DeleteLong time lurker, many thanks for everything you guys do and for running a great site. A few questions regarding missing models for existing legion units. Are there any plans to produce the 5 missing legion units (i.e. Iron Havocs, Locuturus, Lernean, etc), the two missing contemptors (UM and SW), and finally missing special characters (i.e. Ventanus, Golg, Hol Beloth, etc)? Or will those models never get produced? Many thanks once again.
DeleteHi guys, lurked long enough. Can you find out how much the EC spears are?
ReplyDelete£12 matey.
DeleteNo squats ever?
ReplyDeleteBunch of idiots.
They said no Fishman in Space. Aren't the Tau called Fishheads? So there are Fishman in Space and nobody likes them as an opponent. So its clear. Next year its Squattime.
DeleteThink that is in reference to Piscean warriors. One if ye olde rogue trader races that got _a_ model.
DeleteSo what's this about The Thousand Sons having 5 distinct new psychic disciplines??? Does anyone else know more about their legion rules or how their HQ choices will be altered?
ReplyDelete"Fishmen in space" will be a reference to the old Piscean warrior, the Saharduin. Personally, I've got nothing against 'em. I think it would be fun if Forgeworld did an "alien mercenaries" Imperial Armour, with associated models for obscure races, a bit like the way they did with the Fimir for Warhammer. Would be nice to see some Tarellians, Stryxis, Enoulians etc etc
ReplyDeleteI think a minidex for Hrud, Tarellians and Demiurg would be great. GW are really surprised at how well the Genestealer Cults did (We aren't shocked at all!!).
DeleteI'm still waiting for dang Kroot codex to come out. Got every kindred covered, but a fifth edition half-fanmade codex just doesn't jive with all the changes.
DeleteRak'Gol too, they'd be a great kill team challenge.
I fear the rumour of its announcement was just that.
I've been meaning to ask for awhile, but I've kept forgetting. Have you heard any news on when the FW Moritat is being released?
