Book 3: Extermination

Hello Bunnies

This weekend is home to one of the biggest events in Games Workshop's calendar. It has always been popular but with the release of the fabulous Horus Heresy line and Primarch models, feth just got real crazy!

Extermination will be released at this event so I thought it would be good to take a look at some of the teaser images and information released. It houses 4 legions:

Iron Warriors

Alpha Legion

Raven Guard

Imperial Fists

Each legion will come with their own artwork, units, rite of war and special characters as per the last 2 books:

Sigismund is royally badass:

Some lovely artwork:

There are 2 new books. One which is the Legion Army List. I have wanted this for a while :) no word on the price yet though. Here is a table of contents. Nice to see the Falcion in here:
