News: FaQ updates for flyers, inc Space Marine Storm Raven

10112012080Games Workshop have released FaQ updates for most codex’s and the main rule set this weekend.

Codex’s updated: Blood Angels, Dark Eldar, Grey Knights, Imperial Guard, Necrons, Orks, Space Marines.

Not only does this confirm access to the Storm Raven for the Ultramarines, but updates the flyer rules across 6th edition.

News: New 40k Flyer Compendium – Death From The Skys

 It’s officially here, in an almost surprising, but completely unheard of move. Games workshop have dropped a new compendium and a stack of flyer bundles on to the website for direct order only.

Most of the bundles consist of sets of 2 or 3 flyers for each race, these bundles cost between £55 and £90 GBP each. The Space marines get an extra bundle with a Storm Raven Dreadnought and Tactical Squad for £101. Imperial Guard only get one bundle consisting of 2 Valkyries and 2 Storm Trooper squads priced at £133.

The GW website states there are “new bestiary and army list entries for the following codexes: Black Templars, Blood Angels, Dark Eldar, Grey Knights, Imperial Guard, Necrons, Orks and Space Marines”

For now we can only wonder what the changes will be for the codex’s which already have the units listed, such as the Storm Raven in the Grey Knights codex, storm talons perhaps?

Death from the skys is only available in English. Death from the skys is not limited edition.

Let the dakka dakka continue.

News: Death from the sky’s confirmed for Feb 16th

GW’s reseller product release sheet has a Death from the Skies Compendium listed for this months releases.

Extract from GW internal news letter stating Ccodex Marines and and Black Templars will receive access to the Storm Raven. Clearly Azrael and Logan Grimar haven’t negotiated or don’t want access to the Storm Raven. I’ll going with the later given over 900 chapters all now have access. They must think Storm Eagles and Thunderhawks will do just fine.
