IX Legion Information and Rumours

[Charlo]

At time of writing, the next book after inferno is confirmed to be...

 

ANGELUS.

 

This name was previously shared by Atia and said to focus on the Blood Angels and Dark Angels.

 

HYPE THRUSTERS SET TO MAXIMUM.

[Rafen IX]

'Affects Scottish accent' But Captain, we don't have the power!

What. A. Movie. !!!

:-)

On a different note, who is Atia? I see the name pop up in conversation on this board from time to time, but know nothing more than that. Are they a GW / FW source of some kind?

[Arkangilos]

She's one of the most accurate rumour sources. She's been right on everything.

 

She's also a great painter :p

She is the lady of the rumour Tower, who essentially must have a contact in GW design team or something who gives her information (and early stuff) that she leaks in a time appropriate fashion.

 

But yeah, ANGELUS hype.

[Helias_Tancred]

Very good news! Looking forward to it.

[LutherMax]

This is bad. Bad for my carefully laid plans to 1) clear my backlog of half-painted models, and 2) not buy any more models until I've painted the ones I have...

 

It'll be a while till we see any models though I guess. Do we even know when the book will be released?

Probably Christmas at the earliest. More likely next weekender is my bet.

[Charlo]

The fact it's confirmed really makes me comitting to 1KSons a hard choice (unless the legion rules/ units are just that damn good - maybe I will just keep my BA to 40k only... Until they release Sanguinius and I cave of course!)

 

Or maybe I go Custodes, but those tanks are expensive.

[Blindhamster]

Son of the angel all the way here.

[LutherMax]

Same here, any forays into 30k aside from one-off models will be for the IXth...

But the infantry are cheaper.

 

TBH. Do you want another red power armoured army? That's what's stopping me from doing KSons in HH. I know yours are black, but the point still stands.

And also sweet models.

[Tyriks]

This'll make my resistance to 30k a lot weaker... especially since by then my 40k armies should be sitting pretty.

Going to paint them entirely differently if I'm honest, shiny metallics and gold, silver, white accents. Maybe some purple too.

 

Really, at this point I love the style (always have since the visions books) it just depends on their rules and just how many psykers we are talking ;)

 

I also have the barebones of a DG force but the massed infantry, while I love it, kinda kills it for me in a way...

 

And yeah, Infantry for custodes aren't bad pricing for now! Will probably be £40 for 5 come individual release though. My first 5 will be free however as a mate owes me :) plus they make better eventually allies to BA... We shall see.

 

If anything the 1KSons were going to be a dual army with 40k for maximum wizard spam, again though 8th edition makes me nervous of this ><

I was a little tempted to make a Thousand Sons army for the exact same reason!  But the more I think about it, the more I feel like if I want this I should just make some GK allies and paint them as if they are the same as my successor.

Eh - GK haven't interested me since they first came out (Codex: Daemonhunters!) and I was a very influential kid :P

 

Whereas an army of Wizards and their Daemonic underlings and Terminator bodyguard? Plus freakin' Magnus... Legit.

 

But I digress before I derail the thread anymore...

 

Just under two weeks and we'll have at least a little idea of the fun things to come. Judging by the Prospero preview that happened last year, they had some nice sketches, outline of forces and a WIP RUSS.

Yeah the GK aren't super interesting to me, but I'm salty that we are told so much how great BA psykers are and then we are one of the weakest psychic armies (besides those who have none).  GK could at least be allies and pretend they are BA...

 

How much will we find out about Angelus from the Weekender?

[LutherMax]

Late afternoon / evening after the event we should start seeing some photos from the seminar, as soon as folks get home and on their computers

[Tyriks]

What kind of info do they usually release at stuff like this?

[LutherMax]

I haven't been to an HH Weekender specifically, but I went to the FW seminar at Warhammer Fest and they showed quite a lot – no rules obviously but artwork from the forthcoming books and plenty of photos of models, both completed and work in progress.

 

Here's what I saw at WHF 2016 (seminar pics towards the bottom): http://www.themightybrush.com/warhammer-fest-2016/

Last weekender the Inferno Preview was basically:

 

Outline of the setting and forces involved

What they wanted to include

Sketches

A few high quality colour plates

Some edited early photos

RUSS preview...
