Possible new Rites for certain legions -Tylos Rubio is being worked on right now by Israel -No characters/units for new legions -There will be a Meduson character that can be used as a HQ for all Shattered Legion armies. As he is so close with the Raven Guard and Salamanders he can be used in different army lists with the alternative Rites of War -Certain equipment will be mentioned for each legion such as multi plasma arrangements for the Dark Angels and a special Glaive hand to hand weapon for the White Scars. -The Keshig will be upcoming for White Scars -A new bike has been finished by Blake. -Mastodon and Stormbird will appear Further info we have also found out: -Darren Parwood is working on a new knight -A new air tile is being worked on right now that will accomodate the Stormbird/Thunderhawk. Not being completed until the Stormbird was finished (just to be sure the Stormbird doesnt go through the board!!). Stormbird is currently in printing production. Possible first appearance at Weekender Red Books - gagoc on first expedition http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx78/DasTaub/Forum%20Pics/1451730496062_zps86pnddr6.jpg More Corax and transfers More Corax pics and transfers :P see more @ http://battlebunnies.blogspot.co.at/2016/01/new-pics-of-corax.html Some tidbits Corax looks lovely in person, paint job seems a bit off with pure black eyes, just looks unfinished. Dark furies are ace in person, a friend bought them and gave me the bodies/legs for my blood angels. Russ is the next primarch, with magnus being next, both this year. Inferno is aimed to be out late this year. Signus book might not be book 8, as book 8 may be calth part 2. (Sad face) I'm back from the event but very tired and got friends round so a full write up will follow. Briefly: Istvaan Campaigns book is being re-done. No points value changes but some units may gain extra rules / abilities. Some of the original Legiones Astartes rules for the first four Legions are being adjusted. I do have details but you'll have to wait :). Legion Crusade list is NOT changing. No points value changes but will have the latest units added like the Leviathan and Xiphon. There will not be a collectors edition for Book 6 but Book 7 is due later this year - this will be Prospero. Crusade Imperialis is the Red Book for Solar Auxilia, Militia and Warp Cults as well as Knight Households. I have details on the new set up for Specialist Games / Forge World studio set up - I was pleased with the details. Heresy / Age of Darkness is staying with the FW studio and Alan Bligh. The Mastadon will not be ready for sale at the Weekender. It looks gorgeous and is huge - little tweaks still need to be made before the model can be sold. The Leviathans new weapon is a melta weapon. That'll do for now. I'll do a full write up later. 3...2...1...

Hrolf the Cunning Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Love that Corax model, although it looks like he is giving the poor old traitor a wink as a takes him out, intentional style or painting slip-up?

ddarz Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Headhunters! Tbh can't tell much from the picture, look a bit too blinged out for sneaks. Can anyone tell if they have combi weapons equipped? Or are they just seeker bolters?Either way, good stuff!

ddarz Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016  Headhunters! Tbh can't tell much from the picture, look a bit too blinged out for sneaks. Can anyone tell if they have combi weapons equipped? Or are they just seeker bolters? Either way, good stuff! They look to be seeker bolters, no combi's   Yep you are right, both combis and seeker bolters have that nice scope on them, but these look like only seeker bolters. So we thinking it's an upgrade kit? The legs look plain so it could be so  On another note, the dark furies are looking good painted! Is it just me or do the chest plates and shoulder pads make them look a bit over-large?

Caillum Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 It's looks like a Headhunter upgrade kit to me - shoulder pads, heads, torsos and weapons. Their bolters are unusual - looks like 2 barrels, but one above the other rather than side-by-side like combi-bolters (please don't be combi-bolters). EIther way, more Alpha Legion bits will be fantastic. Â Meduson as a character is going to be awesome. Really enjoyed the stories about him!

Hmm, you could be right, just saw a close up on the Alpharius group page, the top barrel looks larger than the standard top rod on a seeker bolter http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-PL/Legion-Seeker-Bolter-Set-2015 could it be?

Lunar Centurion Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Imperialis Crusade red book?! YES YES YES YES YES! Now I can run Imperial Army without having to justify Ultramarines or Knights too Now we need a full BA army list, then I'll finally be ready to start a crapton of buying. Also, does anyone have any leaks on the new RoWs? Or if there's a new IA list? Edit: Not quite related, but the weekender sold out.

Brother Captain Lucian Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Corax with a helmet would look so :cussing kick ass..  Glaive and Keshig for White Scars sounds great, but they said no special units? The Keshig is the Khans bodyguard, that sort of seems like a special unit to me.. New bikes, also cool :p  Headhunters look good, as does Furies.  Well im certainly positive! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317768-warhammer-birthday-bash-discussion-thread/#findComment-4266495 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't get why the new legions don't get their unique units or primarchs, seems like a real let down for all dark angels, blood angels and white scars fans.

Calas Typhon Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Corvus Corax? more like Corvus Segal. (or should I say Corvus Segull) Â Meduson though. That is all I saw in this post, and It makes me happy.

Emperor's Furor Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Are the rules updates going to be free for the Istvaan Campaign books and the legion updates? Shelled out £70 for it and it's going to be out of date?

Leif Bearclaw Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 What's this about Russ? Modelwise or rulewise (if we know)? I'd assume both. Given how they dealt with Gulliman and Tempest I'd expect either Russ or Magnus (maybe both ) to coincide with the release of Inferno. I don't dare to hope that will be anytime soon, but it's how I'd bet they do it.
