Kind of disappointed by the mor deythan models honestly, maybe I've been spoiled by anvil industries Black Ops models, but I'll have to pass on the new kit. Also I realllllly want corax next now after seeing how cool perty is

 

I have that exact same feeling.

 

I want that Mastadon though. Not sure which army it will go in, but I want it.

Me too, but I want to fill it full of Death Company... Shame it wont be Relic :(

I think it's important to release the background sections on the Scars and Angels because it makes no sense to start an army of them if you don't know ranks, titles, organization, whether armor is integrated or separate, etc. Id be pretty mad if I built some blood angels breachers only to find out they don't exist in the same company as assault or tactical legionaries.

Just had another discussion with Alan regarding Book Six:

 

If I understood him correctly (please bear in mind the area was noisy and I'm hard of hearing) Book 6 will have a section that gives rules for various Legions in a general sense. This, I would imagine have a basic structure of said Legions including ranks etc. This is to allow remaining Legion players to get started with authenticity (for want of a better term).

 

Also, to be looked forward to in the future (not sure if he said book 6, or just in future) rules etc for shattered Legions on both sides. Also rules to have Multi Legion armies. Reason why they aren't done yet is down to balance (as in Alan wants to ensure the balance is correct). He also said that whilst such armies may look OP on surface, using such armies WILL have consequences...

 

I can really see why people have such ahigh regard for him. His love for the setting is amazing

So book 6 will be like book 4 in a sense?

My hope is that is the new Rites of War they had been mentioning for a while. Maybe something like the Relic section from Conquest. If this book is meant as filler they can easily do color profiles for Scars and Angels to intersperse in the background.

I think that someone is trying to kill me

Infecting my blood and destroying my mind

No man of the flesh could ever stop me

The fight for this beast is a fight to the death

White whale - holy grail

What remorseless emperor commands me

I no longer govern my soul

I am completely immersed in darkness

As I turn my body away from the sun

White whale - holy grail

Split your lungs with blood and thunder

When you see the white whale

Break your backs and crack your oars men

If you wish to prevail

This bionic leg is what propels me

Bolters thrust in the sky

Aim directly for his crooked brow

And look him straight in the eye

White whale - holy grail

lol, I wanted to link this song

I'm hoping if the name really is Retaliation, that means we will finally get a book about the loyalists kicking :cuss this time.

Yeah that'd be cool.

 

On a related note, when I started getting into the heresy stuff, I was all about the traitors; but more and more lately I've been drawn to the loyalists. I don't know if that's just because the traitors have mostly been touched and it's mostly loyalists were waiting for, but the loyalists are definitely more appealing than they were before.

So what is a shattered legion? And how does it need rules? :D

Iron Hands, Raven Guard and Salamanders post Istvaan are referred to as the shattered legions, because, well, they were shattered at Istvaan ;)

Do we know if we are expecting the rules for Kytan daemon-engine of khorne today? Also if there is any news on when it might be avaliable after the event.

The KDE is (as far as staffers know) due to be released generally in about a month or so (same timeframe as Guilliman give or take). Have no clue about the rules, sorry sad.png

The traitors have always benefitted from the ability to use bitz outside their own ranges from fantasy and elsewhere to give them a cool aesthetic that the loyalists don't get. I'm sad to see that even with the upgrade kits loyalists are still left in the cold when it comes to aesthetics. I was hoping FW would be able to expand the imagery of the loyalists but it looks like they will be stuck with the generic look.

If you read what I said, I know there are examples, and a picture from the card game really isn't the point. Like I also said, I do hope they do Mark VI for other Legions also. smile.png

No worries man, I read what you said. The point of the pic was to support your "sign of things to come" statement, as it's from the Siege of Terra when MkVI is really everywhere (seen on the Word Bearers getting wrecked too). FW is going off a lot of this art and will definitely release MkVI parts for all the Legions. I don't think there's going to be a sensible order to the MkVI pad releases though, they're just going to come out whenever they get done regardless of what Legions an armor mark was associated with more.

....also I just super love a lot of that art and I'll shamelessly take every chance to bring it back around :P so there's that

What will you do after all the loyalists are covered? ;)

Many thanks for letting me know. Just trying to plan my army for a campaign at the end of the month so does help knowing the time frame :) Though i just end up going back to the Perturabo model, which just looks stunning. Will be intresting to see how it breaks down into the non display base like the other primarchs.
