С БОЛСа. Я очень надеюсь на этот слух.

You heard that right - there is word swirling around the tubes that Games Workshop is bringing out a release process long thought extinct. Details after the jump...

There are conflicting details of exact kits involved, but the meat of the rumors are that the 100% linking of miniature releases to the currently released Codex/Army Book are coming to an end. In a return to the days of many years past we can look for independent minis being released that will be sprinkled around the various factions all during 2014.

Maybe it was the realization that people don't like to wait 6 years for new minis for their armies, or maybe GW REALLY, REALLY wants out of Finecast but here are the details we got:

- A range of 30-40 minis are planned

- These are split across 40k and WFB

- None of these are named characters (which will remain small batch runs in resin of some type)

- All of these are currently Finecast or originally metal kits

- Most will be single minis redone as plastic clampacks (mainly HQs), while some may be smaller kits. Large kits and vehicles will wait till their faction books come around.

- Released roughly 3 per month, probably tied into the new weekly release schedule.

Commonly named culprits are:

Major Daemons

Harlequins

Runepriests

Cryptek

Sanguinary Priest

Chaos Lord

etc...

[Lastman]

Sources have told us that many of the quick assembly minis in the Dark Vengeance set are getting the full treatment and arriving as fully-optioned multi-part plastic kits. The following are on the way:

-Helbrute with all the weapon options

-Chaos Cultist set with options for Plague Zombies

-Chaos Lord in clampack format said to be bits compatible with the existing CSM range.

-Chaos Chosen with buckets of god-specific bits including 5 heads per god.

-Obliterators/Mutilators combo-kit

-Chaos Havocs with all new visual designs for certain weapons.

Half of these will ship very soon, the other half closer to Summer.

IG will be in April. March will focus soley on the Imperial Knights. Followed by Wood Elves in May...

It sounds like Imperial Knights will be a Dataslate or a mini codex. I bet you see it in the WD then have it come out in Dataslate/mini dex. From what we were told it will not be in the IG codex and will be able to ally with various armies.

IG is getting a new name with their new codex a la SoB. According to 40K Radio's source, they'll be renamed to the Astra Militarium.

Yup a brand new name. The book is called Astra Militarium.

I am just going by what our source has told us. Could be a legal issue, could be they are incorporating more things into the Codex. Time will tell.

And I want to re-iterate Knight ARE NOT part of Astra Militarium (IG).

The Rumor

Got more info on the supplement, veteran skill upgrades are a flat unit cost.

Confirmed skills so far are, fear,infiltrate,tank hunter, relentless,outflank?, stubborn, preferred enemy, shred and fleet.

Fear was around 5 points a squad with infiltrate being the most expensive skill available.

On an unrelated note expect a fair amount of metal models to disappear from sale within the next two ish months as gw is melting down metal stock again and selling it off.

QnA Session

Thanks for the excellent rumours! 1) is the new vet skill permanent to the squad, unlike a banner?

2) Any idea if it can be used with the BL supplement, or just the codex?

1.Skills are permament.

2. The supplement can be used with ANY chaos supplement not just the BL supplement. Future supplements may have restrictions on what skills may be taken however

Is FNP purchasable?

FNP is not purchasable I'm afraid

Do you know if all of the skills will be available to all units with VotLW, or if each unit will have a separate selection of skills to choose from? On a related note, will it be a flat cost to upgrade or unit or will different units have to pay different amounts for each skill?

Basically each skill has a list of units underneath it . Any unit on the list may take the skill. Certain units are not on the list due to whatever reason. The example I was given was havoc can't take the fleet skill.

All skills cost the same no matter what unit takes them.

Are the different legions mentioned in the supplement, or is this just a way to expand upon the Chaos Marine codex? Can you take more than one upgrade?

Yup, there's a limit of three skills I think per squad however. To answer your original question the legions are mentioned in fluff only. The supplement is really just Codex chaos space marines +1.

if it unlocks Stubborn at a decent unit price.... Man I'll be bringing some big ol CSM blobs to the party.

Stubborn was one of the cheaper skills I think, at around 8 or ten points. I'm not sure if that's a decent price as I don't play sixth ed

8 or 10 for the whole squad right??

All prices are for the whole unit. Hq's skills are 5pts each

Can you still take mark upgrades while also taking these vet upgrades?

Marks can still be taken by the squad along with banners.

what's the projected release date for this mini-supplement?

This is a bit of a mystery to me, it's a week 4 release in the new weekly white dwarf, all I really know is its coming soon. I'm expecting it to be out within 3 months at max

Can Plague marines take infiltrate? Can Terminators take infiltrate? Does shred apply to all weapons, or just melee weapons? Thanks!

Terminator's can't take infiltrate, plague marines can I believe. Shred is for melee weapons only

I'm not sure about the infiltrate on the thousand sons. Fearless is a skill that pretty much every unit can take, terminator included

can mutilators get fleet?

I don't think oblits or mutilators can take any skills at all, I will have to double check in a few days time to confirm for certain

Can HQ's with VotLW take any of the USR upgrades?

Yep, hq's can take the skills, they have access to every skill I think

If I can put Stuborn on my CSMs and not have it be shot out like the fearless banner, then assuming it's no more then 25 points, I think that will solve the biggest problem for CSMs as a unit, leadership.

Stubborn was around 10 points as far as I can remember

Will the Rumored models (New CSMs, Lord, Etc.) be released alongside this supplement?

Yesh.

Is there anything else in this supplement, let's say FOC modification?

Is Infiltration really costy?

Nope its nothing but skills I'm afraid. I'm no too sure if it's a full supplement or a big dataslate. I wasn't paying that much attention to begin with.

Infiltration is 20pts a unit

HQ skills are 5pts each

All other units share the same skill price

Future?

Future digital products WILL include free stuff for units of a comparable quality to chapter tactics.

i just want something to give my noise marine rending so i can pretend that they are palatine blades

Rending may be on the skill lists. I can't confirm for a few days

Does the unit ~have~ to take the VotLW upgrade in order to qualify to be able to take an available USR upgrade on the unit?

For now yes, future downloadable content is likely to change this or make the Votlw upgrade free

I also suspect that none of the Walkers can benefit from this?

Walkers can benefit from a few skills, tank hunter being one which I can remember currently

from your perspective is the pairing between the unit and what the skills offer at least viable?

Most units can take the majority of the skill sets. There are essentially pointless upgrade skills but you can still take them for whatever reason. It's very much a choose whatever you want kinda thing

All I play is Thousand Sons. Not really interested in what happens with Mark of Tzeentch CSMs but I am interested if you could describe what you know about the plastic god-specific bits (if anything)?

Tzeentch heads are similar to the current thousand son heads, on head is also a very nice bird mask helmet.

Nurgle heads include a mixture of gasmasky heads and a head with its brain exposed.

Khorne heads are horney, spikey helmetty heads.

Slaanesh heads include a hellraiser Esq pinhead. Helmets heads have stretched skin, tounges and big speaker grills

Now, it is a 10man kit? Are there any "sorcerer" looking things, or a tabard? Maybe a nice force staff?

It is a ten man kit, there are a few tabardy things that go in between legs. The spear could be possibly converted to a staff without too much trouble I think

o Walkers can also get these skills!? All our Walkers? How does this work, as they can't take Veterans of the Long War - They have just access to these skills by default? Will they get further upgrades like Marks/Dedications so they something god-specific?

Just dreadnoughts, predators and land raiders to my knowledge. I'm not sure how it works with vehicles tbh, I will find out and include it hopefully in my next info batch.

Marks/dedications are not present CURRENTLY

GW is going to reveal some big new project internally soon. He said he and his co-workers speculated that we might actually see both new editions for 40K and WHFB this year with rules altered in a way to get both systems as closely together as possible to make transition for players as easy and attractive as possible. They also speculated that the recent campaign running in the US stores is a test for a similar campaign run with the *new* starter set.

[Листопадов]

40K Radio

Some updates on 7th edition: 1) It will purely be a book release. 2) It could be released as early as May.

On the Chaos Space Marine Releases. 1) Look for the stuff to be released beginning of summer. 2) Crimson Slaughter(CSM in the DV starter) might receive a Supplement as well.

[Листопадов]

via an anonymous source on Faeit 212

The current experimental model is as follows:

This summer will conclude/"wrap up" Dark Vengeance.

In September there'll be a new Campaign featuring 1 imperial and 1 non imperial army which astute readers will be able to guess at because you already rumored about it, just not correctly.

This will have a box set, with snap togethers, and an updated rulebook including the building changes from stronghold assault, and potentially some other minor tweaks. It will not be a new edition.

If the DV summer event is successful, expect a repeat the following year with another "boot" to the game, but not a reboot.

This is more akin to former chapter approved compendiums and what not. That way those who are freshly entering into the hobby do so with something up to date and those who are big on fluff etc get narrative campaigns, etc.

Правила новых орков прямо с испытаний!

via an anonymous source on Faeit 212

I have been handed these play test rules for the new ork codex that is meant for a release around the August period.

I must put a HUGE pinch of salt with these as I have never been sent any information before from this person but others I chat to have declared him as trustworthy.

The Orks are due for a August release.

these rules are meant to be undergoing testing at the start of February.

Ork boyz: 7pts per model

WS BS S T A I LD SV

4 2 4 4 2 2 7 6+

Special rules: war gear: squad size:

mob rule (unchanged) slugga 10-30

furious charge (brb) choppa

Waaagh! (to undergo re-balancing)

new rule additions (can be changed/removed at any time):

swamp them:

if the ork squad is bigger than the enemy it is fighting in close combat then it gain additional attacks.

if the squad out does the enemy by 10 more models then it gains an extra d3 attacks to their combat

if the squad out does the enemy by 20 more models then it gains an extra 2d3 attacks to their combat.

the extra attacks strike at the majority strength of the squad and count as AP -

deff dread: 50pts per model

WS BS S I A front side rear unit composition:

4 2 6 2 4 11 11 10 1 deff dread

new rule additions (can be changed/removed at any time):

stomp & squish:

gain an additional d3 attacks when declaring a charge.

faulty technology:

if the deff dread fails a charge it must roll on the following table:

d6 roll:

1: kaboom - the deff dread malfunctions and is counted as a explode result

2-4: zog it - the deff dread cannot move or charge in the next turn but can shoot

5-6: gotz it - the deff dread is unaffected and may act normal on the next turn.

Killa kans: 30pts per model

WS BS S I A Front Side Rear

2 2 5 2 3 10 10 10

new rule additions (can be changed/removed at any time):

stomp & squish:

gain an additional 1 attack when declaring a charge.

faulty technology:

if the deff dread fails a charge it must roll on the following table:

d6 roll:

1: kaboom - the deff dread malfunctions and is counted as a explode result

2-4: zog it - the deff dread cannot move or charge in the next turn but can shoot

5-6: gotz it - the deff dread is unaffected and may act normal on the next turn.

this just in: storm boyz might get moved to the troops section!

& a new unit called bomber boyz that can send a single model into a tank/monstrous creature for a instant strength 8 armour piercing hit!

again all are to be tested.

boyz will become 2 pts cheaper, but must pay for wargear. Choppas being 1pt and shootas being 2pts. Choppas now give +1 strength in close combat but only give AP4 on a furious charge.

Ok some more news. There was a slight misunderstanding of the new IG name....Astra Militarum. No extra "I" in there. And from our source there will be a mix of Cadian and Catachan releases for Astra Militarum. So the rumors of Catachans going away would appear to be incorrect.

Hello Natfka, I am not normally a rumour guy.

However, I have today seen (and held) something I was not supposed to.

"Astra Militarium Bullgryns"

Shrink wrapped box ready for sale; I don't know what that implys about

release time.

Three Plastic "Bullgryns" which seem to be armoured Ogryns with large

riot style shields. Looked to be on the same bases as the Space Marine

Centurians. They are painted in a new looking blue/gray urban cammo.

They have armoured looking torsos and loin cloth type things made out

of tank tracks (!). They also seemed to have cybernetic enchancement

(ala Boneheads).

Looking at the back of the box, there was a small picture indicating

they could also be built as traditional Ogryns, which retain there

T-shirts and Ripper guns look. The Orgryn on the back had a Green T

shirt.

Да все подтвердились новые огрины или иначе Ауксилии:

via Rik on 40k Radio

So some exciting news.

A listener of ours was at a GW store today that mistakenly received a shipment of some unreleased items.

It was the plastic Ogryn kit.

The rename is confirmed as they were called Militarum Auxillia.

Boom! Nailed it.
