I agree 100% Brother Snowfire!!!! In my opinion our terminators have yet to meet their equal in the GW or Forge World ranges.

Here. Here. And the regular GK's are nothing to sneeze at as well. You can pose them in more of a variety of ways than any other type of Marine out there. Anybody know the name of the sculptor who created the GK Termies and what other models he did?

Ok so this is not really news, more of a brag.

I just got a FREE copy of 5th edition, thanks to the big bosses in my area.

And all before it goes on sale.

Lucky dog you. How's it look? Are there any DH pics? Did we at least get a passing mention somewhere in the backround section? Can you confirm the deflating fact that in the army summary section it still shows our assault cannons as Heavy 3?

I don´t want to disappoint you, Snowfire, but here in Germany it was released last Saturday Very Happy

@NemesisForce: They have mentioned the GK with three sentences. And no, there is only one weapon table for all imperial force and the AC is heavy 4.
And once more a no, no new pics of DH.

by NemesisForce on Mon Jul 07, 2008 9:40 pm

Hmmm...very strange. On another forum someone said theirs read Heavy 3. France and Germany are well-known for doing proper updates as opposed to the U.K. and North America. I hope this isn't the case again.

At least we got a mention bounce

Just when you thought it can't get any worse:

Not too impressed with the Nurgle Sorcerer, but thats just me.

I agree Brother Snowfire,
However, the Sorcerer does look better un-painted. Perhapse it is the paint job that takes somthing away from the figure scratch

.

I can't wait to split open that dread naught and bring that Heretic to justice !!! Very Happy

FW really are putting out some nice models these days cheers

by NemesisForce on Wed Jul 09, 2008 3:21 pm

I agree. The raw Sorcerer model does look really good. The attempt at painting him up in in a state of decrepitude really makes it look like a bad paint-job though. His putrid decay needs to be a bit more subtle. Never did like Chaos Dread models with their 'tree-branch' arms.

With October comes the flagship - New SM models

and a new codex.

Cluster mines being dropped by scout bikes anyone?

Thunderfire cannon with three types of ammo?

Don't ask, cannot remember much of the weighty tome that I read. Will post more as it surfaces from the deep recesses of my mind.

Like the following memory, which is the result of a midnight walk

The drop pod can be upgraded from a stormbolter to a deathind missile launcher. This is the one shown in the rule book. It fires a large blast at BS4 EACH and EVERY turn. 360 LOS for it as well IIRC.

by Klomster on Sun Jul 13, 2008 12:18 pm

Wth????

How does it work fluffwise? Can it carry marines?

How does it fit both badass missiles and marines in that case?

by Snowfire on Sun Jul 13, 2008 12:20 pm

It carries 10 Marines, and the deathwind is a little missile pod about the size of one of the whirlwind missile pods hanging from the middle of it.

by Klomster on Sun Jul 13, 2008 12:24 pm

Hmmm, that's just overkill.

Is that thing compitable with the holy stc of the omnissah?

It has to be techno-heresy!!!
