IX Legion Information and Rumours

[Jolemai]

From various sources across the internet.

 

 

 

This is last one is interesting. It's a Primaris Repulsor door but it's done in the 30k Blood Angel aesthetic.

 

[Blindhamster]

I'd laugh so hard if we randomly got the repulsor in 30k lmao

[Arkangilos]

I think that's more to show it's compatible so you can bling it up.

[Blindhamster]

nope. Repulsor doors are a different size to rhino or land raider doors - so they're specific repulsor ones

[Arkangilos]

Well regardless, it's so you can bling it up.

[Blindhamster]

Well.. Yeah! That much is obvious haha.

 

I am just intrigued by the decision to go with the 30k legion symbol over the 40k chapter symbol, that was all.

[Charlo]

Deimos doors are niiiiiiice

[Spagunk]

I just tried catching up in the Forgeworld convention thread and someone mentioned that book 8 (angelus) is pushed back to christmas of 2018!

 

Sad times as I was hoping on kick starting a 30k force when the book was supposed to come out this year.

I think it's for the best, losing Alan will have put everything in an odd place for FW.

Give them time to get stuff back on track and I'm sure it'll be great. Plus, just means the focus for the sons of sanguinius will be on 40k for a bit.

[LutherMax]

I don't mind waiting. Got plenty to do :D

 

Begs the question when will these upgrade bits be coming though - surely not next Christmas if they're showing them now?!

 

Love the Deimos and LR ones - doesn't seem right on the Repulsor but always looks better painted.

[Indefragable]

For the love of this entire hobby please make decent rules and fluff for the BA.

 

My feeling is that a lot of problems come from the team wanting to take things down a notch from Ward's touch, but we're not sure how. And they knew Alan Bligh had something good in the works so they were waiting to see what he would do. I hope they are able to salvage things. RIP Alan.

BA-specific Deimos-chassis doors

Guess this settles the hair debate...

 

Welcome folks to day 1 of the Weekender, local time as I’m writing this is coming up 9am, with the opening seminar starting at around 10am. I might skip the first seminar (a welcome to Necromunda) as I have books for people to sign and cabinets to peruse.

 

I’ll also be checking the Warhammer Community page through the weekend, but especially this morning. I expect quite quickly we’ll see photos of the pre-orders, I’m just debating whether they’ll drop some of the preview stuff in the cabinets, which if they do at 10am will annoy me. I hope they have the sense to keep that powder dry until after the New Model seminar.

 

Not wanting to dwell on this too much, but for those absolutely demanding to see the internal artwork for Sanguinius, and who think that not showing everything immediately is an act of snobbery ... here it is:

It’s not fantastic, which is why I would rather show off the Russ and Horus pieces, which are simply stunning in comparison. A group shot of Primarchs isn’t exactly common, but they’re in the distance and don’t have the level of detail and impact that the other two have.

The fourth and last pic is Cawl, as an acolyte huddled over a desk in the dark:

A better quality picture - but unless you know it’s Cawl it could literally be any Mechanicum Acoylte...

 

I hope that removes the stain of ‘snobbery’ from my posts.

[Boudan]

These gents have baby arms.

[Arkangilos]

Not fantastic? I think it's awesome!

 

Also the hair debate (even though I was big on it) is stupid. I mean, he has had 200 years of crusading, he could have had all kinds of hair in that time.

[TheRealMcCagh]

What is the hair debate? Black or Blonde, or those fairly ridiculous ringlets he has on Ruinstorm?

[Arkangilos]

Short or long.

 

Some art shows it short, some long

The Destroyer Host and Host of Sacrifice are aspects of the BA Legion. Destroyers are seen as a terrible duty and function that the Legion need to perform, so rather than dedicated units it’s a rotating assignment that all BA legionnaires undertake for a small time. Upon taking the role of a destroyer the BA adopt a death mask...

This is pretty awesome.

Well that's just convenient. I've been thinking about doing this for so long and I happen to have some spare Death masks since I bought a bunch to put on HQs. Looks like I'll be building some dedicated destroyers now.

Very early in terms of rule writing. Sang will be a top melee character, but incorporates symbol of the Imperium. Will probably be two other characters; raldaron is seen as an obvious win, but not sure on the other. 

Potential models for praetors, and maybe vehicle hulls. Apparently the BA and WS are very didferent from the others in showing their iconography. All dependant on Model designers

Might touch upon Amit and the future Flesh Tearers. Up for debate.

[SM1981]

This all looks super cool.

 

Was any indication given on release date for the book? This year, next year etc? I'm assuming models / upgrade kits would drop fairly soon after that.

[Nova_Dew]

from the open day thread, there's a tentative maybe for x-mas this year

[LutherMax]

Love this artwork

[Indefragable]

I’d guess Jan/Feb 2019. FW is always further back then planned, and catching up after Alan (RIP) can only push things back further.

 

Also, based on how Inferno has been our for a year and their kits are just now still rolling out, I wouldn’t hold breath for when IX-specific models come out.

 

What we know about Sanguinius’ rules so far:

 

-the above mention of him being a top melee character and symbol of the Imperium

 

-someone from years past (can’t find the quote but it’s on these very forums) quoting one of the FW writers as saying Sanguinius will be a FMC...who can charge out of Swooping mode :o

 

...sounding promising so far!

[Lord_Caerolion]

Short or long.

 

Some art shows it short, some long

 

Still a better argument than the black/blonde hair debate, which ignored the fact that hair dye exists.
