Brothers and sisters,

 

For those who can't make this event, please leave your questions here and I will try to get them answered. I will try to get this first post updated with as many questions as possible. 30k questions only please...

 

Just to start things:

 

When is Inferno released?

What is after inferno?

Who is the next primarch (Magnus right?) and what's the target release date?

When will Legio Tempestus transfers be released?

Will you sell the dead marines used in the display boards please?

When's Adeptus Titanicus to be released?

When will the Iron Warriors Legion specific units (Tyrants, Iron Havocs, Kyr Vhalen, etc.) be released?

 

Same here with Ninjaman question with the Siege Tyrants & Iron Havocs release.

 

Other wise, I'm just looking forward to seen update though out the day & any cool models that get preview/posted on the forum from the event.

 

Can we get something that's not "When will X get released?"

 

Here's a few:

Could you explain the process of making changes to units for the Red Books? How much additional playtesting is done or is it just based on community feedback?

 

How is the writing for the Black Books divided? Is it by sections, or does one author take the lead with others just filling in the gaps?

 

How many projects are normally being worked on by authors/artists/modelers at one time?

 

How has the split between working on FW products and specialist games affected everyone's work environment?

I'm happy with either type of question, but certainly you get far more of a response and more nuggets of information from an open question.

Spoiler for Praetorian of Dorn

Are the Dorn and Alpharius going to be duelling? And held back for the start of the Sol conflict now?

And will we see a second version of Alpharius now Omegon lost all his shiny toys (Presumably).



Could we please use Jump Pack, Despoiler weapons and breaching shield add ons for the plastic Mk3/4 kits biggrin.png Pretty please!

Some destroyer points love would be ace, poor things!

Whilst i expect they will almost certainly be different any word on Sanguinary guard or death/raven wing units that may appear in future?

And on a slightly more 40k front:

Ooooh the new IA book sounds so cool, any and all info!

And the Eldar corsair upgrades, any eta on them returning to stock?

Any news on the much rumoured united Mechanicus codex?

My issue with the former is when I'm sitting in the audience, and someone asks that kind of question, I want to shout at them, "You could've asked one of the sales reps out on the floor!  And if they don't know, it will be announced/leaked in the next week anyway!  Stop wasting our precious author time!"

Don't worry, that's not how these events work. You get a while to ask questions, particularly later in the day. Also, you can go back and ask later if you want to.

Brothers and sisters,

Just to start things:

 

 

Will you sell the dead marines used in the display boards please?

 

 

This would make me very happy^

 

 

Will Primarchs ever get helmets as an option?

 

Custodes, Sisters and agents of the Imperium are loyalist only -  will there be any agents of the warmaster available to all traitors, or assassins such as Remiare from Mechanicum? 

On that note, will Ingethel the Ascended, or the Red Angel Meros, make it to the Character series?

 

Will each legion get a third unique rite of war?

 

Plastic MK2 and outrider bikes in the Dark Angels Vs Nighlords Thramas box set please

Were Deathshroud intentionally listed as just "Terminator Armour" to allow the player to use the rules of the various Armour sets (for example, can we have Deathshroud in Cataphractii Armour and use the armour's unique rules)? I've seen folks say this is the case, but it seems as though no one has actually asked FW themselves.

While I appreciate the thread, I'm not sure you'll get many answers. It is a 40K weekend (although it's already looking very 30K with its releases). That being said - you don't ask, you don't get, so go for it.

 

I'll just add to the chorus of Iron Warriors asking about Tyrants and Havocs.

 

Also, if you could ask FW wether they intend to create more upgrade kits instead of complete resin units now that we have plastic MKIII and IV, eg. Breachers.

Just interested to see what their direction is going to be with these sorts of things in the future.

 

Thanks. :)

Well, I think part of it is that it's been that way since like Book 1(or was it 2 when they were introduced?), the other part is modeler's prerogative.

 

As a kind of a parallel, you'll notice that in Massacre, one of the terror squad sergeants for the Night Lords has a huge axe that is labeled as a "power glaive". I asked Forgeworld if that could be a count-as chainglaive since there aren't power glaives mentioned in the rules.

 

Their response was that a chainglaive must be a two-handed chainweapon. After that, it could look however you want. A rotating saw on a stick could be a chainglaive.

 

But power weapons still fall under the "modeler's prerogative". Meaning my power glaive, if modeled like the picture, would have to be a power axe because that is the power weapon it most closely resembles.

 

I would argue that is the case here for "Terminator armour". We have the freedom to have any Terminator armour we want, but we choose hy modeling it. So if you want the rules for Tartaros armour, then you can't have Cataphractii models. Otherwise you get that Sesame Street song about how one of these things just doesn't belong here.

I would rather get an official ruling, because I've heard this song and dance for a while with no definitive answer and I find it hard to believe this was their intent without them expressly stating it in the book. No offense, bub.

When will the Iron Warriors Legion specific units (Tyrants, Iron Havocs, Kyr Vhalen, etc.) be released?

I must know the answer to this.

 

Also, will they ever buff the Domitar Ferrum? It really needs a reduced point cost. The Mauler Bolter would be nice too.

I would personally ask on facebook. They do pass these queries on to the rules teams. You will at least get an official response on an official and public comma took. Better than some guy asking the question at an event.

 

Alright, just did. I'll let everyone know the answer if and when I get one.

 

I'd say also ask if the Shadow Crusade is still being touched upon, as I'd love to see Argel Tal and some various other possessed gribblies for my Word Bearers.
