Новости и слухи прошлых лет (2008-2011)

[Dr Darog]

С Колокола, на заметку

So I was in my local GW store today and all the staff were wearing new t-shirts that had the slogan “Everything you have heard is a lie”. When I inquired as what this meant, I was told that GW was re-launching their web site with its own rumour section. After laughing hysterically for a few minutes I asked them to expand on what this meant. Is it merely the return of the sneak peeks or the dreaded GW message board? The staff didn’t really know much.

So what have any of you heard? What do you expect from yet another “new” GW website? How is GW going to “leak” their own rumours? Is this just another corporate attempt at viral marketing? I mean hobby rumours are pretty much just that.

I'm not sure if this is the right place on the forum, if not I apologise!

T'other day whilst mooching around in my local GW my Missus had the forethough to grab my shoulder and point at the PC Monitor. Upon it was an open copy of Photoshop with a poster stating "Congratulations, you guessed correctly; the mystery box is "Space Hulk"". Wording may have been different, but I noticed Space Hulk and Mystery Box and as I gasped with the knowledge the Emperor saw fit to grant me the GW employee looked around and angrily closed the program.

Unfortunately I've not had time to post this since that day, but for any who are desperate for confirmation I reckon that's the best we'll get before the announcement (oh ye of little patience, haha!).

I appreciate the sheer luck of seeing the poster is mad, the employee was new (I'm aware of this) and the shop is fairly small, as all UK Games Workshops I've seen tend to be, so the computer is facing the store.

I'm regurgitating more information than I have myself; I saw the words, but not the program (my Missus noticed long before I stopped being gormless and looked as well). As to the poster, I presume it's linked to the store's promotion as they have a raffle: whoever guesses what is in the box will be allowed to have access to it the night prior to it's being released. Funnily enough I entered myself straight afterwards.

Believe what you wish but I'm afraid you've an inflated ego if you believe I'd lie purely to dupe you and a community. I thought BolS might be interested in knowing what I'd noticed, if you're not you're not and if you are you are. Make of it what you will!

Having spoken to the missus again (break at work):

It seems it was an in-store produced image, by Photoshop she meant a program that allowed image editing. The poster was more than likely in response to my aforementioned in-game competition.

Imagery was standard 40k, GW logos. Clipartesque image of an exploding present with large red lettering that said "You Guessed it: It's Space Hulk!".

Again, this is what she's seen and I saw in passing, that doesn't mean it's definite. Chances are it's not official, from what she described, but it is relating to an in-store competition that involves the mystery box!

Perhaps it is the Alpha Legion at work and what was seen is irrelevant, but I'm feeling chancey on this. I've no reason to doubt it unless GW are enacting a serious counter-intelligence campaign.

Heh, and thankyou TSINI: I honestly meant this only as a heads-up!

Cheers,

Rogue Trooper

General Info

A couple pictures were shown of the Space Wolves models. The Forgeworld Chaos Reaver was completed and on display (expect pics of that to start circulating shortly). Skaven came up in passing according to some.

Mystery Box

No formal announcements were made. GW staff was seen wearing shirts with Terminator and Genestealer sihlouettes, and everyone is saying the formal unveil will occur tonight via the GW website or newsletter. All the birds are chirping its Space Hulk and there is now contradictory chatter as to its availability. Some say limited, others say available till the end of the year. We will know all, including pricing when the formal letters go out in a matter of hours. Follow the Mystery Box drama in the Lounge here.

Also this from a BoLS reader attendee:

...they showed a teaser trailer with a statement, that GW's website will bring some big news tomorrow.But considering that the official GD shirts today sported either a genestealer skull or a terminator helmet and after various long talks to high GW stuff it was pretty clear that this is about Space Hulk. So it's pretty much official.The trailer also hinted at the Blood Angels taking revenge for their fallen brothers and taking the fight to the great devourer of worlds.Store staff was as of yet not in the know about prices, content or anything else specific concerning the boxed set.

Hi all!

Lets have a bit of fun this Sunday morning. As we all know there is a certain amount of unevenness in the rules and minis that have come put over the years with Warhammer 40k, Fantasy, and LotR. With some minis being over 10 years old its just unavoidable.

Today's topic is perhaps the bitterest fruit; those units which have fantastic minis you love to collect, paint and field, but underperforming rules.

What is the 40k, Fantasy, or LotR unit you love to have on the tabletop because its just beautiful, even knowing its probably not the best tactical choice?

Hmmm, I wonder what this is about?

Волки 1

Волки 2

Hi,

i´m new here and just get home from GD Germany. I´m a disappointed about it.

They showed the trailer and yes its Space Hulk.

You see the presentation and an Blood Angels Symbol,then the mouse clicked on it and the trailer was shown. There was a red Space Marine Cruiser with Blood Angels Symbol on it and it flys to something that looks like an Space Hulk,dramatic music and then there are pictures of Stealers like in a horror movie.

That was the trailer and we should register on gw´s website for the newsletter and wait until tomorrow.

At GD Germany wasn´t something new,only Chaos Reaver and the Elysians.

I had a nice talk to Phil Kelly about Space Wolves,but i will write these rumours to the Space wolves thread

[Dr Darog]

С немецкого ГД

Just saw another nugget for the Elysian fans out there: FW has a WIP of seated troopers for the Valkyrie.

40k Armies: Marines Red Scorpions 2000, Tyranids 3000, Arbites/Mechanicus allies 1000

Aeronautica Imperialis: Imperial, Chaos, Eldar

WHFB: Khornate Beasts of Chaos 2000

GORKAMORKAAAAAAAAAWARGL

Phil Kelly just confirmed a hell of a lot bitz in the Space Wolves Pack, and really 33-34 heads most of them without a helmet. Very wild, viking like parts.

You can build up to 15 Marines with a single box and even more if you mix it with regular marine boxes.

Necron News from GD Germany - Нит уже постил, но я повторю

After a long talk with Phil Kelly he told me that Mat Ward (Fantasy O&G & DoC)

got the Job to write the new Codex Necrons.

This is about some things I got from Will Hayes and Simon Egan form FW, and also a few things from Dan Abnett, all of which I was able to talk to at GD Germany yesterday. Not everything is completely new, and some things are to be taken with a bit of salt as well, but read it as you like.

First of all, the Chaos Reaver should be available at GD UK. The model is done (and amazing), the main release should follow shortly afterwards.

Now about the upcoming Orks. Everything that is done will be released as soon as possible, and they are working on different things, including custom weapons and whatnot. I asked about clan-specific stuff, and the answer was around "some things might be specific, e.g. Speed Freaks, but it will be mainly generic". The IA book might be coming sooner than in a yeras time - which is/was the current speed of books being released - as they have new/more people writing rules and stuff.

New models on show were a fulltrack with kannon, a trukk conversion set with a zapp gun, and crew grots. The crew grots were partly those coming with the big kannon shown some time ago, but they were presented like if they would be available seperately - which would be awesome.

I also asked both of the FW guys about Flashgitz, starting with "you see, they are in the codex, but GW doesn't do them... custom guns, yaddayadda". Will Hayes seemed to be quite interested, and replied in a manner of "that would be an interesting thing to do, we'll talk about that with the other sculptors". All through the talk it was repeatedly made clear that they do only what they want to do - and the Flashgitz came along like something they really wanted to do. So there is hope.

On the same matter: don't expect anything else for Aeronautica Imperialis anytime soon. They might add to it in the future, but there are no current plans for it, end of story.

On the matter of a rumoured game of titans vs. titans in epic scale: the answer was "I can't say anything concrete about it, but that would be definetely an interesting thing to do". I don't know how to transport the way he said it, including the body language and the eyes, but it felt like a way of trying to say "how do you know this? well yes, we are working on it". Especially concerning the "we do only what we are interested in" passus from before. Personally I wouldn't hold my breath on the topic, but you never should do with rumours, right?

As you might have seen on pictures from the general GD Germany thread, there were some sitting Elysians on show, which will be for the Valkyrie.

What I did not ask about was the topic of Chaos Dwarfs made by FW. I did hope others would ask, and if you did: this is the place to tell us!

Finally, I had a nice little chat with Dan Abnett about "Double Eagle". Asked about a sequel in the future the answer was a definite "yes", he even wants to make it a trilogy. No time scale for that was given.

I made a couple of pictures too, and will upload and add them later today or tomorrow. If you know any other news, please share them. But now I have things to do... didn't see my girl for over four days...

О Спейс Халке

Rumour is a limited run of 100,000 copies with say 220 UK shops that would only be 45 per shop for the whole UK. Factor Europe and the US as well as Australasia into this and I could quite see only 10-15 copies going per shop.

Переведено транслейтом, если кто-то знает немецкий, переведите нормально

В ьberschauliche студии предложили мало нового, но все еще довольно много интересных миниатюр.

А если у меня есть моя новая мало, что действительно так. Новости Игры семинар новой политики, что значительно ограничивает нет прослушать космической Халк, и только мало пространства волки. Были только 3-UPS из новых пластиковых увидеть волков и космических волков плакат, который обложке нового Кодекса показывает еще 2 волков из Plastikset.

А больше интервью с Филом Келли о космических волков Кодекса и других доведено некоторые сведения об обновлении спру / стая волков космическое шоу. Поэтому он должен предоставить в общей сложности 33 глав, большинство из них без шлемов, и бесчисленное количество знаков, трейлеров и тому подобное. Приблизительная оценка должна быть 15 космических волков, и он может построить еще несколько, если спру смеси с регулярными множествами.

Что касается зловещих буря пушек Страна Raider Фил сказал только, что это не так уж много он должен выглядеть. Он хотел бы иметь больше говорят, но она также неоднократно напоминали не вдаваться в подробности. Что касается вопроса о транспортном средстве между Predator Raider и земли, он ответил просто "смешно интернете слухов."

Фил ясно, что очень сильно Кодекса об символы и их саги будет вращаться. Человек получает мощные возможности, но они очень дорогие и поэтому армия является очень небольшим. Он предупредил, что армия 25 космических морских пехотинцев будут слишком хрупкими для серьезной игры, потому что они могут быстро уничтожить.

Но не только обычных посетителей были несколько удивлены мало нового, даже торговцы были очень разочаровавшиеся с мало нового. Дилеры, а краткое выступление было сделано. Таким образом, пространство и волки Skaven лишь вкратце. Последний будет сильно пластиковых паллет о работе, за исключением нескольких пластиковых ящиков (фиксировании монахов инфицированных, Rattenoger, тень бегун). Так что если вы думаете играет Skavenarmee zuzulegen теперь должна заставить Klanrattenboxen коробки и бункеры, где мы ожидаем 100% безопасность с новым 17.50 10 ящиков или $ 20.

Прошли дни превью до 2-3 месяцев, в день игры и до 6 месяцев и в будущем у дилера. Игры Семинар предназначен тем, что надежды на большую радость общины Новости. О смысле и глупость может быть спорным. Вот она, однако, фурмы для немецкой студии брейк, сотрудники могут быть разочарование по поводу решения, которое было принято в Ноттингеме, точку зрения. Это от большого пространства Халк презентации стало нечего, был в последнюю минуту перед Игры дня решил и сделал подготовки немного сложнее.

В студии можно было бы также различные новинки Forge мир посмотреть. Некоторые из этих орков, но и хаос Reaver Титан.

Затем были также некоторые Orkumbausets для транспортных средств, которые с октября будут доступны. Возможно. даже в Великобритании День Игры.

Цены пока не известны, однако, было подтверждено, что в следующем Императорского Armor (№ 8) очень сильно о greenskins будет вращаться. Заметим также, новая Grotz на изображении.

Мы могли бы также Симон Egan и Вилл Хейс говорим о более, что мы ожидали Forge мир. К сожалению, мальчики могут лишь сообщить свои собственные проекты и подтверждены в соответствии с орков и другой для императорской гвардии и хаос ожидается.

Хаос гномы Было также отмечено, я, однако, сказал, что мальчик прямо, потому что это будет планироваться с фантазией, но на совершенно другой сайт. В короткие сроки в играх семинара является дочерней компании наладить мир начал, которые будут специализироваться в фантазии дизайнеров и приравненным к этой системе установлен.

С Forge будет мир в терминах Fantasy мало ожидать, потому что работники просто 40K любителей и аналогичные продукты.

Для Tzeentch демона, до сих пор ничего нового, вот вы только что дал указание ", возможно, в Великобритании День Игры.

Поэтому мы будем ждать до 27 Сентябрь ...

Ещё немного о составе коробки СХ.

[Jack the great mage]

С немецкого ГД

...

Переведено транслейтом, если кто-то знает немецкий, переведите нормально

...

http://www.brueckenkopf-online.com/

Перевёл обе части.

http://www.brueckenkopf-online.com/?p=6892 (есть фотографии)

В ++плюсах++ мои мысли вслух и пометки-комментарии. :)

Студийный отдел предложил мало нового, тем не менее там было несколько интересных миниатюр.

И когда я говорю "ничего нового", это действительно так. Новая политика ГВ относительно новостей многое ограничивает, так что никакого обзора Спейс Халка и совсем мизер про Волков. По-этому только 3 миниатюры новых Волков и ещё 2 на плакате к Волкам, который будет на обложке нового кодекса.

+++фотки+++

Из долгого разговора с Филлом Келли о кодексе волков выяснились некоторые подробности об Апгрейд паке\ Паке космоволков. Там будет 33 головы, большинство из которых будут без шлема, бесчисленные инсигнии, обвес и т.д. Грубо говоря, можно будет собрать 15 космоволков и ещё несколько, если мешать с обычными СМ. +++запомните, мешать вредно для здоровья :))))+++

Про зловещий ++злобный++ Ленд Рейдер с асолтками Филл только сказал, что не стоит этому сильно радоваться. Он охотно говорил ещё, но постоянно подсказывал, что не может сказать больше подробностей. На вопрос о танке, среднем между Предатором и Ленд Рейдером, он только ответил "funny internet rumours" ("забавные слухи").

Но Филл четко дал понять, что кодекс будет силён героями и их сагами ++легендами, пивными байками :)++. Это даёт сильные, но они очень дорогие способности, по-этому армия будет очень маленькая. Он предупредил, что армии с 25 Волками будут слишком хрупкими для серьёзных игр, так как их могут очень быстро убить.

Поражены отсутствием новостей были не только обычные посетители - продавцы тоже были этим сильно разочарованы. Дилерская презентация тоже была несколько краткой. Космоволки и Скавены будут лишь немного ?порезаны?. Пластиковая линейка последних будет сильно переделана, за исключением нескольких коробок(всё в порядке с чумными монахами, крысоограми, ?бегущими в тени? ). Кто думает собирать армию Скавенов, должен уже сейчас закупать батальйоны и кланрэтов, потому что со 100% гарантией выйдут новые боксы по 10 моделек за 17.50 ++фунтов?++ (20 евро соответственно).

Позади времена анонсов ++растянутых++ на 2-3 месяца на дне игры и до 6 месяцев после этого для дилеров. ГВ таким образом надеется, что комьюнити ++игровое сообщество++ будет больше радоваться новостям. Об осмысленности\бессмысленности этого можно только спорить. Но надо вступится ++отдать должное++ за немецкую студию - по персоналу было видно их огорчение решением из Нотингема. В последнюю минуту перед Днём Игры было решено, что большой презентации Спейс Халка не будет, и это сделало подготовку ещё немного сложнее.

++фотки++

Орки принадлежат личной армии Филла Келли.

И вторая часть.

http://www.brueckenkopf-online.com/?p=6879

В студии можно было оценить разные новинки от Форджворлда. Кое-что для орков и Ривер титан.

++фотки++

Были представленны некоторые апгрейд паки для орковской техники, которые будут доступны с октября. Даже к Английскому Дню Игры.

Цены ещё не были известны, утверждалось, что следующий Империал Армор (++Имперская Броня++) (номер 8) будет о зеленокожих. Можно обратить внимание на гретчинов (++гротов++) на фотографии.

++фотки++

Мы могли кроме того поговорить с Саймоном Эганом и Виллом Хэйзом (++прямо как Исаак Хэйз++) о том, что нас ждёт дальше от Форджворлда. К сожалению, парни могли рассказать только о своих проектах и убедили ждать, соответственно, орков и прочее для Хаоса и ИГ("имперская армия" - может и для остальных имперцев?).

Про гномов хаоса я тоже спросил, но парни сказали прямо, что что-то планируется с фентези, но в совершенно другой конторе. Совсем скоро ГВ создаст дочернюю форджворлду фирму, которая будет специализироваться на ФБ, и в которой будут представленны соответствующие ФБ дизайнеры.

От Форжворлда в будущем не стоит ждать чего-либо в ФБ, так как там работают фанаты 40к.

Для демона Тзинча нет ничего нового, только фраза "может быть, к английскому Дню Игры".

Так что ждём 27 сентября...

As GW refine and work on their website they are and will be releasing more and more articles/similar for download. I mentioned already the forthcoming "13th mission" pdf which will let you design your own Hulk missions, and Jervis Johnson in the ( well a anyway) forthcoming WD unveils the first of his "Battlefield Challenges" which are new scenarios and missions for ALL their core systems. I've heard some rumblings to do with prizes for contributions as well.. exactly how this works I am as yet unsure.

ВРАКС №3

Greater Brass Scorpion = +1 Structure Point

Rex has 2+/3+, +1S, an Anointed Force Weapon, and a boatload of anti-daemon equipment - 285 points and can take 0-9 Henchmen

Gorefeaster and Jibberjaw are the two giant spawn/chaos beasts that have existed as models forever, didn't read their rules

Ang and Scabs are just reprints AFAICS but are DoC only

Blight Drones are 125pts, 1-3 per squad and can be taken in CSM that have at least one PM squad

Blood Slaughters are pretty similar but didn't notice what FOC, presumably Elites

Nurgle Guard list is pointed etc in line with the new Dex

Zhufor is a Chaos Lord of K with +1WS, +1S and an Assault 3 Bolter, he can take a Termie Retinue

Arkos gets minor rework as some of his gear is from the old Codex

Mamon has T7 and some DP equipment

Khorne DP has S7 I6, Iron Hide and Rending

There are at least Apoc datasheets for a Deathrider Company, Blight Drone posse, Blood Slaughter posse, the Purge, Malcadors, an Inq Lord + GKTs in LRs strikeforce, and a Titan Battlegroup (1+ Reaver, 2+ Warhounds)

No new GK rules AFAICS

There's a Nurgle Herald called Necrosius. I didn't see anything that suggested it was the herald that comes with Mamon (bearing in mind there's no Khorne name Herald). His unique rule gives Plague Zombies Furious Charge

Plague Ogryns have D6 attacks strangely, and Noxious Touch.....me want!

Plague Marines and a 2W Nurgle Champion HQ are in the Traitor List as expected

Didn't read the Krieg Armoured Company at all - sorry

С колокола

Hi guys, the latest word bubbling around the tubes today is on rumored Tyranid Codex said to be coming in 2010. Lets get right to them:

The sources say they spoke to Phil Kelly during GD Germany. Here are the tidbits.

-4 New Tyranid species never before seen in a codex, one of which will make the current carnifex "look like a dwarf". ~I assume this would be the plastic Trygon

-Tyranid Characters return... No so much individual creatures like Old One Eye, but these will be indicitive of big creatures that have survived through battlefields and evolved into something better.

-Plastic Hive Tyrant kit with wings.

-Codex is in the can is written by Robin Cruddace (of codex Imperial Guard).

-Tyranids will have evolved rules and abilities to better counter the rapid emergence of mech that has accompanied 5th edition. (implied that Biovores will be viable)!

-Release in 2010

[Lastman]

ВРАКС №3 демоноводы щааасливы.. ну почти...

blood slaughters, they are a heavy support option for a chaos daemon army or an CSm army that includes a unit of Khorne Berzekrers. It can take a weapon which is similar to the lash of submission. Roll to hit as normal (on BS1 WTF!!! and move the target 2d6 directly towards the blood slaughter. Can be used on models of dreadnaught size or less

Блад слотерер --rage, fleet, the rage of Khorne which gives it D3 attacks on the charge, 2 DCCW, and 3 attacks. Can swap one DCCW for the impale attack which counts as a shooting attack which is an absolute waste as you sacrifice a fleet move. it doesnt have a 12" charge

The razorback with psycannons cannot be used by GKs. Only the usual suspects Сирых лыйарей опять обломали.

Imperial Guard Upcoming Releases

The next wave of releases for the Imperial Guard is set for September 19th and includes Colonel 'Iron Hand' Straken, Gunnery Sergeant Harker and five metal Bitz Packs at this stage.

A wave rumoured to include the Basilisk and/or Hydra/Manticore and/or plastic Storm Troopers has been mentioned by a number of attendees to the Retailer Seminar at the recent Games Day in Chicago, but details are a bit sketchy, so I'm leaving it as unconfirmed for the timebeing. Likely to be before the end of the year.

September 19th Releases

Colonel 'Iron Hand' Straken (1 Model Metal Blister - Direct Only) £7.85 / US$15

All-new model. This blister contains one, two-part, metal Colonel "Iron Hand" Straken.

>>> Now officially 'live' on the GW website: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/ca...dId=prod30015a

Quote Straken has survived decades of war. It was whilst he was still a grizzled sergeant that he earned the bionic replacement that would become both his trademark and his moniker. While stalking an Eldar patrol, Straken was savagely attacked by a Miral land shark that tore off his arm. Straken should have died from his injuries, but he is no normal man, he was born and bred on Catachan and is one of the toughest breed of warriors ever to serve the Imperial Guard. >>> New rear shot:

Gunnery Sergeant Harker (1 Model Metal Blister - Direct Only) £7.85 / US$15

All-new model. This blister contains one, three-part, metal Gunnery Sergeant Harker.

>>> Now officially 'live' on the GW website: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/ca...dId=prod40004a

Quote All Catachans have a reputation for being tough, but Harker is perhaps the hardest of them all. Harker is a giant of a man, his large frame covered with slabs of muscle and sinew. His strength is such that he carries his heavy bolter as easily as a normal man might carry a rifle, without even breaking a sweat. >>> New rear shot and resin master on display at Games Day Germany:

ФОТО!!!

Imperial Guard Tank Stowage (#TBC Metal Bits - Direct Only) £6.85 / US$11.50

No further info at this time.

Imperial Guard Crew (2 Model Metal Blister - Direct Only) £6.85 / US$11.50

>>> New sculpts supposedly one Cadian and one Catachan.

Imperial Aquilas (14 Metal Bits - Direct Only) £4.90 / US$8.25 ФОТО!!!

>>> Pic from September's White Dwarf with thanks to reds8n. You get two of the displayed sprue in the pack:

Imperial Guard Heads (#TBC Metal Bits - Direct Only) £4.90 / US$8.25

No further info at this time.

Imperial Guard Tank Commanders (3 Model Metal Blister - Direct Only) £5.85 / US$9.90 ФОТ0!!!

Marked as 'Repackaged', so likely the old metal Tank Commanders available previously.

>>> Pic from September's White Dwarf of one of the classic Tank Commanders, with thanks to reds8n:

Other rumoured releases

All the releases for the Imperial Guard after the 1st Wave are said to be spread out over 18 months, so we're not going to see everything all at once. I was told the Demolisher and Hellhound kits would come first with artillery kit(s) "later". Which I took to mean at least one later this year, but it could just as easily mean next year.

At Games Day Chicago 2009, Tom Walton and Jervis Johnson both said that there are plastics planned for all Imperial Guard, including many regiments. i.e. Everything they can make plastic will be plastic. Of the regiments mentioned that they are trying to put into plastic, Praetorians, Mordians and Steel Legion were specifically named. But from what I gather from other sources, don't read this as a "Coming Soon" type announcement, it was discussed more in general terms of working their way through all the races converting what metals they can to plastic.

Basilisk (1 Model Plastic Kit)

Supposedly can assemble either a Basilisk, Medusa, Colossus or Griffon... although there was some talk that these might come in two separate kits rather than all in one. CAD of what looks a lot like the Colossus Siege Mortar:

Hydra (1 Model Plastic Kit)

Supposedly can assemble either a Hydra or Manticore. Supposedly mentioned at the Retailers Seminar at Games Day Chicago to be scheduled for a "Wave 3" release. I am currently seeking corroboration on this however.

Chimera (1 Model Plastic Kit)

Redesigned side panels in a similar manner as the Hellhound. Other recut sprue(s) supposedly includes components to allow you to represent a Command Vehicle. CAD of Chimera hull and new side panel design:

New 'Chimera sprue 2' that was included in the new Hellhound kit:

Leman Russ (1 Model Plastic Kit)

Redesigned in a similar manner as the Demolisher. See "Demolisher Sprue 2" above for one of the new sprues to be included in a redone Russ kit. As I recall, it was said there would only be three variants in this kit, which would leave one option from the Codex entry unrepresented.

Unresolved rumours

Storm Troopers

Greens of a Storm Trooper with shotgun were seen at the 40K 5th Edition Launch Event in the UK in July of 2008. It is unclear when or if this will be released. This assumed-to-be-plastic set was long rumoured to be released with an "Inquisiton supplement" around/with Planetstrike, and offer the option of representing Arbites / Inquisitorial Storm Troopers. Despite several secondhand reports of sightings "behind closed doors", nothing credible has yet surfaced. The absence of Kasrkin models in the recently-released Codex would seem to offer indirect support of new models being in the works. Old rumour was a box set of 10 models between £12-£15.

Rough Riders

Plastic Rough Riders were rumoured quite a while back, with a supposed release in the 1.5 Wave (now gone) but I have no personal information on that rumour and can't speak for how reliable it is anymore.

Колокольчик подвел итоги очередного своего конкурса)) BoLSCon

Я бы не написал бы об этом, если бы не выдающаяся армия, занявшаяся 1-ое место.

Hi all, Jwolf here. Here are the lists that won overall and second overall at BoLSCon. I think their success has a lot more to say about the quality of their players than the perceived strength of the armies.

Michael Strange’s Tyranids

Super Winged Choppy Tyrant

Foot Tyrant, Dual Devourers and 2 Guards

3x 20 Improved (WS, Str, In) Hormagaunts

8 Spinegaunts, Without Number

Lictor

3 Zoanthropes

2x Carnifex – Barbed Strangler / Venom Cannon

Comments: When I checked this list in, I did not foresee a winning list, but Michael made it work, spending all of day one at first table and rallying back to take the title from the Guard army that beat him in round four. Michael has put a lot of hard work into the army, and he has clearly put a lot of working into determining how best to use it. I am pleased that an army that I would not have considered likely to win won in our almost completely tabletop scoring tournament. Kudos to Mike.
