The 1st 2 previews deal with Age of Sigmar but the 3rd one announce a "Fallen Hunt" special mission

You see this guy on the right? Looks like a sgt with TH... ;)

So, does the Piscina IV scenario have the special rule where the Interrogator Chaplain and his command squad must remain in the bunker and can never leave or fire out?

[aura_enchanted]

Omg omg omg I need that white dwarf issue!!

i'm thinking the same thing.  

it would make it my first issue in over 2 decades. :tu:

Well you can actually do that as the 3 objectives are on the Fortress and each grants 3VP at the hand of the game... :lol:

[SvenONE]

Well if that grav leak was anything to go by, TH/SS welcome back.  Something that should have never been missing in the past.

[Isiah]

Yep certainly looks like the DW sarge can get a th/ss as a weapon option.

 

It kinda bodes well - in its small way - to the whole thinking behind this codex does it not?

 

Time will tell.

 

Thanks for posting Master Avoghai. My French is a little rusty but I get the gist ;)

 

Cheers excitedly

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but Deathwing Sergeants have always been able to take thunder hammer and storm shield.  It's right on page 99.

Could you please clarify what you meant?

[Brother Captain Arkley]

This is heresy I know but if Cypher is part of us now will he be similar to Sanguinor 

 

I feel suddenly very hopeful...

The FAQ replace the sentence by "any model may change its power fist and storm bolter by a TH/SS"

 

As the sgt has no PF, he cannot swap his weapon.

For the Lions Blade detachment, reading the second paragraph on the left leads me to believe what we are seeing is merely what the player took in that instance. I highly doubt those are the only choices available for the detachment. I'd wait until we see what's in the codex regarding black knights and RW command squads.

[Stoic Raptor]

Ah, I see that now.  Thanks.  I am guessing they intended it so that a cylcone-armed trooper could still take TH/SS, and probably did not realize that they unintentionally prevented the Sergeant from doing the same.  One of those rare cases where the FAQ "fixes" something that wasn't broken.

The French WD posted mentions both a RW formation and a DW formation.

Happily reading this week's White Dwarf right now.  Haven't been this excited for an issue in a long, long time.

[Solrac]

Super excited! Luckily I won an assault marine box in the last tournament I went to!!!

[ValourousHeart]

How come you guys have your White Dwarf already and my local GW store can't even tell me if DA are in this week's issue?

 

**EDIT I can't spell

[Stoic Raptor]

We are the Inner Circle.

Shouldn't they already have received the product briefing? As far as I am aware they send it around on Wednesday prior to the pre-order.

[palin2222]

Too much DA/BT feuding for my tastes, can we leave that somewhere else?

 

While this is all very exciting, I wouldn't take it at face value. We have been lied to in WD before. I remember in the issue where they printed the Sisters Codex, the BatRep listed a couple wargear selections that were not possible using the codex they just release.

Simple : I never ever go to my local GW store ^^

They receive the WD on wednesday as do the rogue trader stores. Whereas Hobby centers are forbidden to sell them and to even talk about that, the RTS sell them the day they receive them...

More pics of DA from German WD.

The DW are stock Dark Vengeance, so no upgraded sarges there.

 

Ravenwing is the current standard Attack squadron set up.

 

But some nice pics of Unpainted Vets with grav weapons :woot:

Why have we not seen anything with Black Knights yet? I am getting very anxious.

I'm curious.....Wil we see new vet set with grav?

[Isiah]

Reading the German they're a kit bash from Veterans, Tactical and Devastator models, and the new DA upgrade sprue.

 

No specific new Veteran models I'm afraid <_<.

 

But it's still exciting that they can take grav.

 

Cheers

Probably not. Iirc, we usually see these kind of unpainted models as examples of kit-bashing. My German is a little rusty, but I'm pretty sure it says in the blurb next to the models that the grav gun is from either the Sternguard or Tactical box, with the sword and plasma pistol from the new DA upgrade frame, and the grav cannon is from the new Dev box.
