You can only take a hurricane bolter on Ironclad Dreadnoughts, unless Mortis Dreadnoughts in the Forgeworld books have been updated with them.

How did you do that Grey Knight armor?

It was literally only Army Painter Platemail Metal color primer, plus Nuln Oil. Then they looked so cool that I let them sit for 2 weeks, terrified that anything else I would do to them would somehow screw them up. I eventually did the trim and accessories, mostly in gold, red, black and bone. I think the non-black primer really made the lighter colors like the red and white on the shields pop out more than they normally would have.

Bit late, but I bought two boxes for a 10-man SG unit and was fairly impressed with the kit. They've got a LOT of detail and come with all sorts of extra bits like extra older-Mark helmets and stuff. Also picking up just one means you'll never be hurting for special weapons; each box comes with one heavy bolter, one heavy flamer, and two of each combi-weapon (-flamer, -plasma, -melta and -grav), along with two each of flamers, meltaguns, plasma guns and grav guns, five regular and five storm bolters.. I honestly want to recommend picking up one box even if you don't like Sternguard as a unit, you get so many neat bits for customizing and loading up your Marines in one box. Hell, there're so many ornate bits in there that it shouldn't be too hard to bling up a coule of standard tac marines with the parts to make an extra Sternguard or three. Same goes for Vanguard kits really, even if one box comes with 'just' five Marines you get so many close-combat weapon bits that picking up one just for the spare parts isn't too bad of a call.

The Tactical box is also one of my favorite new kits - one box comes with a fuckton of new stuff, including all the kit you can conceivably put on a marine sergeant. The only heavy weapon in the kit is, sadly, the missile launcher, but you get one of each special weapon, a bunch of bits you can use to make a combi-weapon of your choice, a handful of melee weapons.. and the bits are much more detailed than the old MArine kits were. There's really not any wasted space on the sprues at all.

Holy hell are you right. Picked up some of these and some resin bases, going to make the best looking dudes in my drat army.

Hurricane bolter is not a weapon option on the Contemptor-Mortis in IA:A at least, regular Dreads don't appear in that book, and it isn't an option for Legion Mortis or Contemptor-Mortis in the HH books

This is a forgeworld book. Supposedly its going to include rules for '30k in 40k' IE: legion chaos vehicles like drop pods, storm eagles, earlier pattern land raiders, and the works. Also LOTD/Renegades are back. Rumors for now, but hail Satan Chaos anyway, this is awesome if true.

This looks loving awesome, and would be neat to tie together my Black Legion army and my future all-Terminator Sons of Horus army.

The Vanguard Vets box is cool as heck and comes with the all important power armor thunder hammer and storm shield for making King poo poo of Punch Mountain. I keep meaning to make a biker Librarian with one of the power axes but I haven't had time recently.

I have to agree; the two vet kits are quite amazing. I'm going to be using bits from them to make my biker command squad (all grav guns all the time), and I used the awesome power sword for my bike librarian:


I think I'm in love with poorly done kit-bashing.

Parts were dark vengeance librarian, hacked off at the waist. Dark Angels upgrade sprue for the wings and book, dark vengeance biker bolters just glued onto the wheel thingy. The baby is from the recent librarian kit, and the sword is from the vanguard vets kit.

Latest FW newsletter is out. So Bulbasaur's rumor was pretty much on the money as Ghost Hand said as it's the slipcase for the special edition of vol. 13 (heh) of Imperial Armour.

Forgeworld posted:

The latest edition to the Imperial Armour book range includes profiles and rules for the vehicles of the Chaos Space Marines, Chaos Titans, Daemon Engines and the armoured vehicles of the Heretic and the Renegade.

It also includes a complete army list for the forces of the Renegade and the Heretic, alongside extensive details on the dark heraldry and blasphemous iconography used by the traitorous Chaos Space Marines.

Presented in a unique slip case and including a exclusive double-sided A1 poster, this special edition is limited to 2,000 copies worldwide and is available to buy for the first time at Warhammer Fest.

Can someone give me a bit of a primer on what's good and not so good with Orks now? Are bikes good? I have 9 bikes as it turns out (when did I get THOSE...). Been out of the game for a bit (so mad I missed the whole Black Reach box! Those deffkoptas!!) and I've been building what I had that was unbuilt and gonna give 40k a go again. If I end up liking it I figure I'll pick up a few of these and loot 'em proper, because I guess flyers are a thing now.
