Burning at Prospero boxes game!

REEEEEEEEEEE I WAS HOPING FOR GENERICS, WHY GW, WHY!?!?


Custodes are cool tho.

Tartaros and MkIIIs look quite generic. How many you get them in the box is another thing. If it's 10 MkIIIs, 5 Tartaros and then super special models on the other side, fuck it, I'll wait for the solo boxes.

Can't wait for "GW would never do plastic MkIII because they wouldn't be like FW ones" user to pitch in.

FOR THE WOLF TIME!!!!

Oh no, I love the Tartaros and MkIII, as well as the Custodes. I hate the Space Wolf character, and the more than likely Thousand Sons character, as they can't be made generic compared to the already generic BaC HQs.

Heck, the BaC Chaplain isn't actually wearing a Skull helm, as they did back in 30k.

No, please.

claw makes me think bjorn

Which is hilarious, seeing as FW did not want Bjorn in 30k, just like they did not want Volkite in 40k.

Though, with Bjorn they have a more justified reason, seeing as he was a Literally Who? back then.

>... this brand new bored game
Is that what it says at the bottom?

>FW did not want Bjorn in 30k

Why the fuck not? They have put plenty of literal whos in there. Why is he a no-go?

Bjorn fought alongside the emperor.

That makes him more recognizable than 90% of the other 30k characters.
>This super stronk marine did stuff and ded.
>This admech was super stronk and ran away.
>This marine was super SUPER stronk and ran at first and died later.
I mean really, stop being bootyblasted about space wolves you manchild.

FW is weird about random shit

>just like they did not want Volkite in 40k
Like, I don't get that. It's a one-off in the adeptus mechanicus, who are the people who would almost definitely have some 30k shit in abundance.

You can't just go from "these weapons are essentially standard issue on not-imperial guard" to "there are NO volkites in 40k EVER"

It says boxed game.

Because Bjorn is just a random tactical marine at this point. He's more than a literal who, he's a literal nobody.

he's a terran veteran, ain't he?

Except that they weren't even being made anymore at the time of the Heresy. And they sure as hell weren't standard issue, despite everyone putting them in their army lists.

>Burning at Prospero boxes game!
I read that title as
>Boxing at Prospero
I thought GW was about to drop a new sports-themed Specialist Game on us. A 40K equivalent of Blood Bowl, just another sport more focused on personal combat than teamwork

No.

Pretty sure he's from Fenris. Or he's a newly made Terran SW by that time, as no legion except the Death Guard stopped recruiting from Terra, iirc. TSons might have stopped as well.

Try Wolfguard Champion during Prospero.

hm, well, still, as far as 30k marines go, he's right up there with ahriman and kharn for "being from 30k"

It would be strange not to have him in the game, since his whole deal is that he's from the heresy.

>he's right up there with ahriman and kharn for "being from 30k"

Yet he's not a captain, Polux has more rank than Bjorn, he is a no one that should get rules when FW does the Scouring in 202X.

Nah see, that's what makes him special in 40k.

In 30k, there is nothing special about him.

He's important because he was the one that was left behind when Russ left. Really has nothing to do with what he did during the Heresy.

>No, please.

fuck yes custodes!!!! loving the mk3s as well gunna grab one of these for my sons of horus blam!!

But wasn't the point of that being that Bjorn was pretty much Russ' best friend? Like, to the point that it personally hurt Bjorn when Russ specially told him he couldn't come with him.

No, that was mostly after the heresy when he became a pretty cool dude and part of his bodyguard. Albeit the lowest-ranking member of it.

>Like, to the point that it personally hurt Bjorn when Russ specially told him he couldn't come with him.
This was more of that he couldn't understand why Russ told him to stay behind, as he was hurt that he could not go alongside his bodyguard brethren. What Russ meant as a compliment and for him to lead the chapter, Bjorn took as an insult and personal injury, and could not and still can not comprehend why he was left behind.

So, how are these dudes more of a "somebody" than a wolf guard champion?

That's the Luthor story.

Unles HH writers are so uncreative that they just copy paste various marine fluff over others.

Because during the Heresy Bjorn really was a nobody. In 40k he's famous for having been alive back then and the lowest-ranking member of the Wolf Guard during the Scouring.

...

Rolled 12 (1d20)

>That's the Luthor story
I'll admit I don't know my Wolf Lore, and I haven't any ranks in Knowledge (Wolves). Help me out here?

>Thousand Sons + baller yiff models + FUCKING CUSTODES HOLY SHIT

Goddamnit I don't have like 120 euros to dump on this shit.

He was wolfguard during Prospero. He was part of the honor guard on Nikea. He fought a daemon and Amon.

>He only fought a demon and some random marine
>Thinks thats special

Space wolves? More like Space Scrubs.

Oh, you're right. Forgot, actually.

Eh, doesn't matter to me really. I don't care about the Space Wolves, I just hate the fact that there's non-generic characters in the box. How I hate non-generic characters in boxes such as these.

Plus FW said they weren't going to include him in 30k anyways. So eh.

>Captain of the 9th Fellowship of the Thousand Sons
>some random marine

I think it's more special than being an edgelord that disappears after Isstvan. Or a loyalist from a traitor legion.

I don't remember super well myself. But I remembered it differently.
It's hard cause Lexicanum is awful and is all newfluff bullshit so it's practically useless and I'd have to dig out my old wolf dex to actually check everything.

Too far user, too far and too low.

>I hate the Space Wolf character, and the more than likely Thousand Sons character,
Why do you hate Ahriman?

>Burning at Prospero boxes game!
YES
YEEEEEEESSSSS

I do not hate Ahriman, I hate the fact that he's more than likely being put in this box.

Which pisses me off for two reasons.

One, it means that the HQs the box comes with aren't generic.

Two, it means he's not getting the epic FW model treatment. I mean, just look at their Khârn!

ARE THOSE FUCKING CUSTODES?

No, it just says Custodes ironically

>Possible not WOLFY wolf rune wulfen space marines
>Actual good space wolves again
>fucking custodes
>fucking tartaros armor and mk3 power armor

Well fuck me sideways like a two butt holed badger. You got me interested GW.

Anyone else think that the Custodes are there to form an allied detachment? An HQ and five man Troops, it looks like.

>I mean, just look at their Khârn!
Looks like a manlet version of the manlet primarch

But Alpharius doesn't have a model?

>Tartaros terminators
>Iron Armor
AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGHHHH

Could be just a squad to act as Agents of the Emperor.

Custodes will have a full army list, which means that they won't be Agents of the Emperor. Now if there was only a single Custodes character, then I'd believe you.

Finally, more space marines.

That feeling when there's only three things you want from modern GW.
>Genestealer cult like death watch
>transport for your admech
>A plastic eldar corsair range

Custodes, more plastic power armor variants, non turbo wolf space wolves, are fucking cool though.

>Genestealer cult like deathwatch
man I don't think they'll ever do that

Better not simply be 10 mk3, 5 Tartaros and then the hqs and custodes. The BaC box did so well sue to being generic.

Oh and btw, bjorn used an axe up until the very late stages of the heresy (or even early scouring) so that mini isn't bjorn

user, I knew it was coming I just want it now.

I want another IG regiment in plastic like valhallans/steel legion/vostroyans and the obvious Sisters.

you're probably not even finished painting the overkill stuff, man

I know I haven't touched my hybrids yet beyond assembly for priming.

Volkite I can understand from a lore and possibly power perspective.

In HH it has the mystique of a power type of weapon that is either no longer made or can't be made in sizable numbers. 40k has a bad habit ruleswise of taking things like that and suddenly making them available to everyone and their mother, thus giving the impression they aren't rare.

At least I'm assuming it's the above and not FW acting like volkites are their OC do not steal.

Pretty sure that stuff about Bjorn is from Battle of the Fang and not the HH.

To be fair, I think FW is already pretty far behind on creating models for their special characters. They can probably get away with it because as far as I'm aware they either don't produce art of those characters or give a portrait at best. To further make things harder for third parties, the people who buy from FW are likely the type to wait for the genuine article rather than some knockoff that was rushed out.

Doesn't really stop them from making an Ahriman model if they want to.

Also with regards to Kharn, I still can't figure out how that they messed up which of his arms is bare and which of them is covered. The weapons are also switched up, but you can write that off due to him being ambidextrous.

>Wake up to this

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMNNNNN

What the hell are you talking about? He have like 6-7 models

>40k has a bad habit ruleswise of taking things like that and suddenly making them available to everyone and their mother, thus giving the impression they aren't rare.
okay, but it's still just on the head honcho of the adeptus mechanicus, who are the guys responsible for hoarding ancient tech for themselves

One take with a slim chance is that the mini is not Ahriman but a generic TS sorceror, the reason being that the symbols on his tabard have no corvidae iconography and thus put him in another clan.

Have faith, user.

I've heard a few people mention that we'd see the Silent Sisters in this game.
Any pic of the minis or were the rumour mongers just blowing it out their own arse?

Nope, so Sisters of either kind have been confirmed in any rumour.

It sort of sets a bad precedent though, I can see why FW might not like it.

As far as I recall there was never any mention of Sisters of Silence appearing in the next HH boxe game. They're supposed to get rules in Inferno and models from FW.

>November
>Not October

Fucking hell, I completely missed that.

Man, I wish GW would give us plastic MkII.

I just want an all MkII army.

Sisters of Silence were confirmed by sad panda who also confirmed custodes. Check dakka

All of the alpha legion models are alpharius.

The direct quote from sad panda was.
mkiii isn't wrong but no mention of sisters or custodes. Odd.

They are generics you fucking dolt.

The only thing non generic will be the space wolf character and thousand son character ( possibly bjorn and ahriman). Remember that the ahriman sprue has a alternative chest piece and alternative blank shoulder.

What? Pics?

No Sisters, sorry user. Sad Panda never confirmed Sisters, only made it seem like he did.

So, things that got plastic before Sisters of Battle:
>Admech
>Genestealer Cult
>Custodes
>if the rumours are true, primarchs in the near future

So when is the inevitable Squats release?

I think user meant the two characters.

>Remember that the ahriman sprue has a alternative chest piece and alternative blank shoulder.
I heard someone else say this, but I have seen no proof, and this proof is something I would love to see.

>No Sisters, sorry user. Sad Panda never confirmed Sisters, only made it seem like he did.

Damn it! Dont toy with my erection like that!

Well, if you want cheesecake, don't go to GW, user. :^)

Sisters in Feb, don't worry

To be fair, Mechanicus and Horus Heresy are both more popular than Sisters.

Genestealer Cult likely happened because it makes for a pretty good enemy for a Deathwatch boxed game. It remains to be seen what kind of kits they get and if they get any additional ones. Their kits could end up being similar to what Chaos Cultists got.

It's possible Sisters just weren't shown. I see no reason for Sad Panda to make mention of them specifically with regards to the boxed game.

Supposedly there is someone out there who has looked through this issue of WD, they might have more information.

>Free gift
>DLC CODE

FUCKING SHIT

Do you people not read. I already posted the direct quote. Sad panda is NEVER wrong. Ahriman is not on the cover but he is definitely in the game. Sisters of silence are too. There are probably the "and more" from the text. There will also be forgeworld models later.

>It sort of sets a bad precedent though, I can see why FW might not like it.
the precedent that the admech do indeed hoard the good shit for themselves?

I don't think I've ever seen a source for this FW not liking it stuff, but if it's even remotely true that would be quite silly.

One of the devs stated this at an Open Day after the Skitarii were released, Volkite was supposed to have been lost by the 41st millenium, as it's production had been halted completely by the 31st.

It's also why all the 30k stiff in 40k is going to be super nerfed in IA14.

>To be fair, Mechanicus and Horus Heresy are both more popular than Sisters.
Because they've got models made this millennium. If Sisters had a modern range they'd be at least as popular as Admech.

that's silly

I mean I'm not going to be surprised if [imperial faction] gets ass-reamed by [alien faction] in an imperial armor, but nerfing the stuff because of that?

>If Sisters had a modern range they'd be at least as popular as Admech.
Yeah... I'm sure that's absolutely right.

It is. Nobody gave a shit about Admech until they got an actual army release and they're still low on the overall rankings of things people care about, whereas Sisters have had consistent diehards despite their models being older than most people playing 40k today.

SPACE WOLVES! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
youtube.com/watch?v=EHOBw6XwqRo

And this is why I like the AU where Emps heard Magnus complaining about the burning of Prospero, went to Fenris to ask Russ what had happened, and saw that the Neophytes where mutating from Wulfen...into Wolfblobs.

Naturally he blew Fenris up.

>I'm so butthurt about fictional characters I tell myself make believe stories (about make believe stories) so my feelings aren't so hurt.
Are you people real?

How is that even possible? I barely got my september issue, and there's already pics of the November one?
In October we get a free gift of a shitty comic book (yay) and now we know that in november its a fucking DLC.

Miniatures GW. Miniatures is all we care about.

>Are you people real?
I dunno, is this real life?

>Is this just fantasy?
Well no, because fantasy has been destroyed and replaced with age of sigmar.

Well at least there are people who aren't caught in the landslide that was caused by GW doing that.

>Nobody gave a shit about Admech until they got an actual army release and they're still low on the overall rankings of things people care about,

That isn't true. There were lots of people converting imperial guardsmen into admech styled troops. They were also featured in many stories,converting articles and artwork pieces.

>Sisters have had consistent diehards despite their models being older than most people playing 40k today.

So did Dark Elder before their update. Though they sold well at their release they are now one of the lesser played armies. What the diehards say online also isn’t a good indicator of what is popular and what is not. Scions get a lot of shit on Veeky Forums for being ugly and changing the design of stormtroopers yet they have been one of GW’s top sellers since release.

DE are only "unpopular" in that they're awful on the tabletop and CE+DE stopped being a god tier combo so CE could be OP on their own. And if you consider people posting online a vocal minority, people hating on the scions infantry are a minority of a minority. It's the fisher price trucks that nobody likes.

Open your eyes user, Fantasy was dead by that point. Look up the slides and see.

What you call "diehards" are mostly hipsters thriving off their own made-up victim status.
Half of them would instantly drop sisters if they were updated.
