Night Runner Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Just recieved this from GW: Incoming! Spearhead Gather your tanks and ready your lascannons – in June the pages of White Dwarf magazine and games-workshop.com join forces to bring you a whole new expansion for Warhammer 40,000: Spearhead. Spearhead is a new way to play Warhammer 40,000 that enables you to unleash exciting tank battles and daring breakthrough missions on the table top, bringing the full mechanised fury of the 41st Millennium to bear in your games. June's White Dwarf will contain the main part of the supplement, including new rules, missions and plenty of inspirational hobby advice. Alongside this, games-workshop.com will feature additional material for registered members such as details for how to assemble your Spearhead formations along with even more painting, modelling and collecting tips. As if a whole new Expansion wasn't exciting enough, it's going to be accompanied by a range of new miniatures including some stunning new plastic kits – more details of these kits, and the Spearhead Expansion, will follow in May's issue of White Dwarf and on games-workshop.com in due time. Warhammer 40,000: Spearhead As June's White Dwarf contains a new expansion, it promises to be very popular. Guarantee your copy by subscribing here today. It was thought that all SM Chapters including us Wolves with our brand new dex would be getting the Storm Raven in the Battle Missions book. This has not come to pass, but as everybody seems to agree that it would be insane profit-wisae not to make such an option available to all marines including us Wolves, maybe it will be given to us in this new supplement. New kits are being mentioned! I know it has been posted on the news section, but I thought it would be good to discuss it among wolves. All I know is that deepstriking with a Dread + a pack of ten GH + WG in TDA and AC + RP or WP would help me greatly against the tide of OrK players currently dominating the games in my club!

Schertenleib Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hopefully the rumour had the wrong supplement in mind. I was wondering the same thing looking at the Thunderhawks in the artwork that came with the news. Or maybe the plastic Thunderhawk has worked out??

Ullr Direfang Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 now i know it is for their company and what not but to me it seems that GDUBs is just pushing supplements out the door left and right. Which is kind of annoying to me personally. I like the prospect of new models for the game as a whole, just i feel that they are shoving more new content at us every month. then again maybe i just don't play enough to desire more then a basic game every now and then...

Sulfurious Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Seeing as how this is going to be published in a White Dwarf magazine, I don't see to many people hurrying out to buy some new tanks. I think it's more of a ploy to get people to buy White Dwarf again. I have only purchased one since the last price hike.

I was wondering the same thing looking at the Thunderhawks in the artwork that came with the news. Or maybe the plastic Thunderhawk has worked out?? That particular piece of artwork is old and recycled. I think it's most likely featured due to the prominent tanks in the image.

Sarapham Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 If the Stormraven actually had a model to be sold I could see that it would be released to more chapters.. however since there is none they are not losing anything by just giving it to one chapter.

ReyRex Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 GW is in it for the $$$. I think they will release something open to all Marine chapters.

The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 right lets look at one of the worst codecis out there. codex dark angel: right on the cusp of codex space marines off by maybe 5 months or half a year or so. with a simple faq they could have access to thunderfires, ironclads, redeemers, and many other wargear such as 3++ invulnerable saves. your wrong about the stormbird. no other chapter will get it, your rumor is made up bunk or never going to happen. here let me show you a link where gw is too lazy to even do simple war gear changes. Q. There are a number of cases where things with the same name have different rules or characteristics in Codex Space Marines and Codex: Dark Angels, such as the different transport capacity for the Land Raider. There are also a number of new items of equipment in the Space Marines Codex that are not this one. Which version of the rules should I use, the latest version, or the one in Codex: Dark Angels? A. Strictly, you should always use the rules from your own Codex, and this is the default solution you must use if you and your opponent can’t come up with a better one (you’ll find that this might be the case in tournaments, for example!). However, always keep in mind the foreword we have written to all of the Errata and FAQ documents, as well as ‘The Most Important Rule’ described on page 2 of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook, which states ‘… it is important to remember that the rules are just a framework to create an enjoyable game. Winning at any cost is less important than making sure both players – not just the victor – have a good time.’ On this basis if an opponent asks you if it’s okay for them to use the latest version of the rules for a piece of equipment, or if they can use a new item from Codex: Space Marines in their own army, then you should say ‘Yes, of course you can!’ Please note that ‘The Most Important Rule’ cuts both ways, and because of this, if you feel that a piece of new equipment might spoil the game for your opponent by giving your own army an unfair advantage, then you are honour-bound not to use it. As you can see, the nature of the Most Important Rule means that it’s impossible to give a black and white answer to any question that may arise; instead you and your opponent need to discuss things and come up with the answer that makes thats from the da faq Dark Angel Faq and no reyrex gw in this case isnt it for the $$$ as you put it. its a blood angel item just as thousand sons are chaos, wave serpents are eldar, raiders are dark eldar (but wait couldnt they do an out of codex cross bound wave serpent for the dark eldar?) wolves are for space wolves, the stormraven is for the angels. its not going to be a cross codex unit. sorry end of story.

Night Runner Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 and no reyrex gw in this case isnt it for the $$$ as you put it. its a blood angel item just as thousand sons are chaos, wave serpents are eldar, raiders are dark eldar (but wait couldnt they do an out of codex cross bound wave serpent for the dark eldar?) wolves are for space wolves, the stormraven is for the angels. its not going to be a cross codex unit. sorry end of story. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but there is precedent - Crusader LR, besides others including the Old 2nd edition Space Wolf Codex. So I wont rule the possibility outright even though it seems to be policy nowadays - I just don't like being so rigid then having to eat my words afterwords. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/194946-spearhead-for-space-wolves/#findComment-2320703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 im sorry but there is no answer but a clear and firm no. lets look at every codex that hasnt had an update. same wargear different costs/effects. daemonhunters no new items even after new ones were released same for black templars, even the old blood angels, once again dark angels. im sorry but forever and a day this wont happen.

Wispy Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 The newsletter promises new things and plastic kits. What that entails is open to debate, and I'm sorry, Betrayed Space Wolf, That sounds like a clear and firm maybe. I'm going to say, based on the fluff alone for the model, that the storm bird is one day going to make it to the Codex marines (at the very least). There is a long history of the codex marines getting other chapter's cool stuff in their updates, and to assume it won't happen anymore is just being short sighted. Patience, of course, is not a virtue of the 40k community.

The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 yes you do of course know that the new releases are the space marine statue, a ruined terrain piece shaped after and the aquila and a piece of terrain yes? im sorry but the answer is still a firm no.

Wispy Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Your answer is really not firm at all. "A range of new miniatures" is mentioned in the newsletter and implies more then just the rumored terrain. So sorry, I'm not buying that's the end of it.

Wolf Lord Karulfr Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I also think that if the Storm Raver were anywhere near complete, there would have been a picture of it in the BA codex (which there isn't). The items on the BoLS list make sense though I'd like to see it expanded.

stinkenheim Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 theres a thread about this in the BA forums, and someone quoted a warseer post where the rumoured models were discussed, Sounds like Ork Wartruk/Wartrak/Skorcha (one kit makes all) Plastic Fire Prism Recut Leman Russ with remaining options (eradicator, vanquisher etc) possible reboxed Land Raider with all variants in one box Possible reboxed rhino/razorback (basically dropping the rhino kit and leaving just razorback) possible reboxed hammerhead/skyray (again will be dropping the hammerhead and having the turret in skyray box) possible predator with different sponsons so no, no storm raven Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/194946-spearhead-for-space-wolves/#findComment-2320929 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 ??? who are you? anywho i highly doubt the stormraven will be a multi released unit. if you can provide support for your rumours then be my guest and i look into them. however such a thing hasnt happened since the crusader if night runner is right. such things havent happened since the 2nd edition. if you can clearly give a reason as to why the stormraven would be spread to any chapter via expansion then let me know. in the end though brother ramses please respect your betters and hold your tongue before you lose it. have a good day now whelp and maybe learn from your own words yes?

Decoy Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Betrayed, mind yourself. You tread a very, very fine line, and the only reason I'm not tearing into you for calling out Ramses right now is because I'm drunk and might spell something wrong. Being "in character" or not, you're borderlining an asskicking in either case.

The Fenrisian Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Not to make this into a argument or anything, but given that our book and the new BA book are only 6 months apart, both of them would have been in development at a similar time. If we were to get the Stormraven, I would have thought it would have been in our book (maybe). Besides, it doesn't really fit in with the 'wolfy' style. We only have Skyclaws units to put the difficult whelps somewhere useful....:D. Flying isn't a SW thing in terms of the army style, so I highly doubt we'll get it. It'll be BA only cause it's all about charging into the opponent's grill before they've unpacked their army case, and that's basically all it'll do. (Just had an image of someone running around a store making plane noises whilst 'flying' a Stormraven at his opponents.)
