White Dwaft Pictures are hitting the net

This post is a warning. There is a review of the September White Dwarf on the internet. It containes pitures of the new space marine kits, a power armour guide (which uses the armour through the ages models) and a blow by blow pictures of the Black Templar vs Chaos Marines battle report. However if you don’t want to know the outcome of the battle report don’t read the artical. Not only is there a picture of the outcome page from white dwarft, there is alos a reference to the result in the concluesion of the review.

I’m not going to link to it, but I’m sure your going to go looking for it. Just remember don’t read to the end.

Imperial Armour Apocalypse Review

I’m in the middle of moving house at the moment so have taken the week off. However IPeregrine has reviewed the new Imperial Armour book from Forge World. And after reading the 1st paragraph I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss this.

Remenber these are not the views of all ChapterMasters.

Not a very impressive book overall. Some units get changes, but a lot of them are are either changed for the sake of change or ridiculous nerfs to units that didn’t need them. Proof reading is sketchy. For example, one of the DKoK assets gives units fleet, but only for the movement phase when they can’t actually use it. You can read more.

New Sternguard to replace the old Space Marines?

Picture of new plastic Sternguard have surfaced in the last week, with no action being taken by GW? The question on my mind is what is going to happen to the old models. Should we be ordering as many as we think we will needs now, or will they continue to be offered on direct order only. I’m not sure I want to take the risk.

New space marine pictures have now hit the web.

 

So far pictures of the centurions the hunter Sternguard the Vanguard Space marine captain Chaplin , librarian and the tactical squad Have all surfaced. Of all these I am most impressed with the Vanguard. They appear to come with a range of helmets including Mach 3, Mark four, Mark six, Mark seven, and a helmet with a halo.
From what I have seen so far, The hints I was given by the design team about a wider range of power armour appear to have been correct, however the armour seams to be spread throughout the box set rather than contained just within the tactical squad, as I had assumed, but then they couldn’t very well tell me there was going to be plastic veterans as well. The Tactical squad does now appear to have a mk6 chest plate, along with mk4 legs as well as more mk6 legs sets. Given the are not going to be more than 10 sets of legs in the box, I think it’s fair to assume we are getting 1x mk iv, 4x mk vi and 5 x mkvii. There does not appear to have been any pictures  of anything but mk6 and mk7 helmets but it’s early days as far as options are concerned. The veteran sets do appear to have mk3, mk4 and mk6 helmets. I did see some mk8 legs on one of the veterans, which may mean a full suit of mkvii armour may now be possible. A full suit of mk6 looks to be contained within the tactical set as the missing rimless shoulder pad is now present. The bolters I’ve seen so far do not appear to be any but the common patterns. The back packs also all look to be mk7 with little design tweaks, as do the jump packs. At this stage only a missile launcher has been seen with the set but I’m fairly sure there will be a heavy bolter in one of the new sets. So that must means it is true!
