Новости и слухи прошлых лет (2008-2011)

[Dr Darog]

От себя замечу, что как раз, кого будут издавать третим - интрига.

Поскольку ДЭ, которых раньше планировали быстро переиздать, по слухам, задвинули очень далеко, но обещали все-таки издать в этом году.

Также ходят слухи, что в подпольях ГВ топится новый кодекс Некронов без Ктанов - но это слухи большей частью фанатов.

Все это можно почерпнуть на Бсоле в обсуждениях и на Варсире.

Слухи с Колокола

So we have been hearing rumblings of plastic Grey Knights as a possibility for a bit now, but along come 2 fellows with a picture of a glorious Grey Knight assault, and a snippet from the artist that he was retained by Games Workshop to produce imagery having to do with the final assault during the 1st War for Armageddon.

Artist's quote"

Release Summary:

The new Codex is designed around the Imperial Guard Infantry Company - a rank upon rank of soldiers supported by a huge array of armoured vehicles and battle tanks. The range is well supported with plastic box sets for two famous Imperial Guard regiments - the Catachan Jungle Fighters and Cadian Shock Troops - as well as a number of vehicles including battle tanks, troop transports and scout walkers.

The key themes of the Imperial Guard army - lots of men, lots of tanks - are highlighted in this Codex. Infantry Platoon squads can be deployed together as a single scoring unit of up to fifty men can (sic), and tanks can be chosen in squadrons of up to three vehicles: this brutal mass of bodies and armour is what the Imperial Guard is all about.

The Codex includes a number of special characters, including famous officers such as Captain Al'Rahem of the Tallarn Desert Raiders, Commander Chenkov of Valhalla and Colonel 'Iron Hand' Straken of Catachan. Each of these characters has a unique rule or set of orders that conveys the character of his home regiment. In addition, legends such as Commissar Yarrick and Ursarkar Creed are brought up to date, and new characters such as Knight Commander Pask of Cadia and the Catachan Devil Gunnery Sergeant Harker are presented.

Features & Benefits of Codex: Imperial Guard:

- Reduced points costs and Infantry Platoon special rules allow Imperial Guard armies to rival even Ork and Tyranid hordes for huge units. Plastic box sets and the two Battleforce sets allow customers to build such an army quickly and conveniently.

- Chimera fighting vehicles are now the standard Transport upgrade for Imperial Guard squads, and can be chosen without need for special rules or variant army organisation: any Imperial Guard army can be fielded as Mechanised Infantry.

- Command Squads can now influence nearby Infantry Squads through the use of the orders rules. These range from allowing nearby Guardsmen an extra shot with their lasguns, benefiting from improved cover saves, or receiving a bonus to their anti-tank shooting. These rules make the Command Squads more important than ever before, and introduce a new dynamic into the Imperial Guard army.

- Tanks can be fielded in squadrons of up to three vehicles as a single choice on the Force Organisation chart, allowing players to include more than ever in their armies.

- The expanded army list includes several tank designs available from Forge World, such as the Medusa, Hydra Flak Tank and Leman Russ Vanquisher.

- This book revisits many of the Imperial themes of the Guard army, including new character types like Astropaths, Primaris Psykers and Lord Commissars. Touches like these firmly place these human soldiers in the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium."

- Leman Russ special rule: "Lumbering Behemoth" - a Leman Russ that remained stationary or moved up to 6" can fire its turret weapon in addition to any other weapons it may fire - even if the turret weapon is ordnance.

[Шикарный Манул]

Planet Strike will supposedly come sooner than expected. I’m told July at the latest.

Rumoured rules:

In a game of Planet Strike, the Attacker/Defender split will be very important, with them possibly getting different FOCs.

Defender

Gets to place all terrain on the battlefield and picks his table edge.

He can declare Terrain to be dangerous if he wants (Mined for example) although it’s not clear how much he can do this for.

There will be buildings with mounted weapons, like armed bunkers etc. Probably, the defender will have to place all of his army.

Attacker

May place some Craters to get some cover.

May move in from his table edge, Deep Strike and Outflank, similar to a "Dawn of War" Scenario.

May also get some goodies like a prepared Artillery fire on the defending units, special equipment etc.

Will most likely get first Turn.

Releases:

New terrain such as a multipart plastic kit similar to the Cities of Death ruins. With enough of those you will possibly be able to build fortresses, defensive structures for tanks, or control towers, outposts etc. Also some new craters and other stuff that wasn’t expanded on.

Plastic Thunderhawk is again mentioned.

so other rumours to possibly add RE: models

Plastic Grey Knights (especially for teleporting squads as an attacking force)

Plastic Stormtroopers/Arbites Riot Squad (ST as an attacking unit, Arbites as a definate defending unit)

Rumoured early 2nd wave of IG stuff (Hydra, Leman Russ recut kit)

2nd Wave of Daemons (makes sense as they have DS as part of their deployment rules)

Land Speeder Storm (pushed up from the 2nd wave of SM)

Eldar Jetbikes

IG Vendetta conversion Kit (via Direct - as the plastic frames we have seen don't have enough weapons to make it and the Valkyrie instructions don't seem to include it)

Вот такие пироги с котятами.)

C Колокола:

Games Workshop has kicked out 2 new 40k Apocalypse formations for the new plastic Shadowsword in the latest White Dwarf. They should be making thier way to the website in due time:

Shadowsword Domination Force

1 Shadowsword, 3-6 Leman Russ, optional other vehicles like Sentinels. In a nutshell, if the Shadowsword loses a structure point it can pass it off as a destroyed result on a Leman Russ. If a Sentinel is available in the formation, it can take the destroyed for the Russ.

Iron Saint

It has 5 special crewmen and costs 850 points! Basically, each crewman gives the vehicle a special ability or strategic asset which is lost when he is killed. Each time the tank would lose a structure point, roll a D6, on a 6 one of the special crew is killed instead of losing the structure point.

Hi all,

We've been hearing all kinds of news from across the country regarding Games Workshop stores and reorganizations. In no particular order:

North America HQ Re-organization

Apparently in a major re-shuffle the GW-US and GW-Canada groups have been integrated, with many folks getting pink slips as part of the corporate re-shuffling. There is now reportedly one new GW-North America group with responsibility for both US and Canadian operations.

Store Closings

We have heard word of multiple stores being shuttered in the Southern California region, and the shutdown of the Memphis TN, Battle Bunker, along with associated layoffs. There are also reports of sporadic layoffs across the country at GW stores in various locations.

New multipart plastic terrain kit similar to the Cities of Death ruins. With enough of those you will possibly be able to build fortresses, defensive structures for tanks, or control towers, outposts etc. These are believed to be seen on p.81 (bastion), p.230 (bastion, barricades, autocannon AA turret), p.243 (bastion) in the 40K rulebook.

Важная новость!

Все те, кто не смогли купить рарного СМ сержанта, у Вас будет еще один шанс.

A quick one guys. The old Games Workshop-Canada website has quietly sunk beneath the waves, to be reborn as the new-style GW Website. There are now only a few countries left with the old-style sites (we're looking at you Australia, Italy, and Japan), as the slow web-transition continues.

As with other web-site rollouts, Games Workshop is offering the Web Exclusive Space Marine Sergeant for those who order over $100 from the new Canada site.

Коротко:

Нужно заказать на канадском сайте на 100 баков и вам пришлют рарного сержата в подарок. Я думаю акция будет длиться несколько месяцев. Серж ничего так, разница в стоимости доставки из канады и США - не очень большая, поэтому это может быть приятным подарком самому себе)

На Колоколе, появились фотки очередного мега скретчбилда - титана варлорда.... Детализация - потрясающая!

ТЕКСТ:

Why Did I Do It?

I built the Warlord simply because I wanted titans in my games of Apocalypse, but couldn’t really afford the Forge World Warhounds or Reavers, well I could… but I’m married with kids after all. At first, I was going to make a Warhound, but figured that GW would eventually make a plastic kit in the future, and I might as well make something big if I was going to go through the effort of scratch building.

Тут можно посмотреть все фотки

Project Overview

I started with the Epic mini and I scaled it from that. A lot of people think this thing should be huge… like six feet tall, but I’m used to the epic scale and I based it off that. I like the size and it will play well with existing Reavers. My Warlord is about 28 inches tall. Basically, I compared the mini to other epic minis like Leman Russes and Land Raiders and built it from there. Actually, its scale is a little bigger than Epic comparatively.

I roughed the whole thing out in foam board and was too lazy to snap pics of it after that. I layered thin sheets of styrene plastic ”armor” on top of the foam board to tighten up corners and to build in the ”crevices” between armor plates. It’s equipped with two Volcano Cannons which can be separated from the arm if I choose to add a different gun, but nothing else is built at this time.

I used a lot of bits from my Leman Russ Battle Company, but even that wasn’t enough. I cast a bunch of bits from the Imperial Sector and Space marine kits—mainly skulls, eagles, and engine pieces. I also used Forge World brass etched eagles. All the styrene, bits, and paint added up to be about $200 bucks in materials. I kept running out of styrene and had to buy more. Don’t cheap out if you build one of these things, it’s worth it in the end.

Originally, I wasn’t planning on using a base, but the upper body was so top heavy, that I felt I had no choice. My only regret is that the ankles are a bit ”wobbly”. I should have been more careful and reinforced them with wood or something. When I started, they felt firm.

I used Photoshop for my banners. I scanned in Baneblade decals to start with and added from there.

Big tip: I used wood glue for my foam board and strips of cut-up Bristol board (thick art paper) to cover the foam. Also, get ”The Chopper”, a styrene cutter; it works great and is worth the cost.

Eventually, I will add a crew to the cockpit and LED lights, but that’s another project. I want a Reaver crew, but Forge World doesn’t sell them separately. If anyone can help me get a crew, let me know. I fielded this baby in a huge Apoc game at the LA Battle Bunker where it was finally destroyed by four Necron Pylons. It is on display there, so check it out if you are in the area. I also play Epic at the bunker on the last Saturday of every month, so stop by or join the club.

С колокола о новом спейсхалке!!!

Hi guys,

More whispers regarding the best Warhammer 40k boardgame ever made, Space Hulk.

Talk about the tubes is that when Games Workshop sets their mind on something they go all the way. Space Hulk is being described as a full bore rework with all the bells and whistles you could ever want.

Sources say to expect it in Q3 2009, and we have heard tales of modular plastic boards, an extensive set of large scale sprues with all the termys and genestealers you can shake a stick it, and all new fancy elements such as sliding doors and the like. There might even be a need for batteries (perhaps). Expect a full sized boxed game that will make all you cry with tears of joy.

С Колокола:

So we have been hearing for months and months that the Sons of Russ are in the pipeline. First it was last holiday season, then it got bounced to the back half of this year and the latest we hear is Q4 of this year.

A sharp-eyed reader has noticed that Games Workshop has just removed the Space Wolves Codex from their website. The rest of the Space Wolves range is here, but no codex! It stands out as a clear contrast to other old armies such as the Dark Eldar who still have their codices up for sale.

Also note the Collectors Range Wolf Guard with Lighting Claws that was just released. Hmmm, the plot thickens...

All of Forge World will be present including our sales and customer service team, and our designers to answer your questions and show off what we have in store for you over the next few months. This will include a pre-production copy of Imperial Armour Volume Seven, The Siege of Vraks Part 3, new Daemon Engines for Khorne and Nurgle, a new Daemon Prince and Herald, some future Ork models and more. We may even have a few of the new models for sale on the day in very limited quantities. So in order to further whet your appetite here is a sneaky preview shot of one of the new models that you`ll be able to see, and perhaps buy on the day!

We’ll also have some great participation games for Apocalypse and our always popular ‘40k’ scale Aeronautica Imperialis, and we will of course have our sales stand with lots of stock!

Our charity raffle this year will be for no less than a massive Warhammer 40,000 scale Mars Pattern Reaver Titan. Tickets will be £1 each and all proceeds will be donated to Children In Need, so one lucky customer will get to walk away with a brand new titan for the price of a ticket!

We will also be holding a painting competition; bring along your painted Forge World models, and the one we select will win a Forge World trophy for you to take home. Entries will be judged based on quality and interest, rather than size, and if you enter a converted model, it should primarily be made from Forge World parts.

Парень с Колокола: предложил офигенский способок конверсии поз... нам больше не нужны ножи, скальпели и штифты... нам понадобится только СОЛЬ.

Да, да, вы все правильно прочитали - СОЛЬ!

ТЫРК!
