Well gently caress, there goes my impetus to ever get working on my Guard army, looks like it'll be Knights all the way when that Castellean comes out. May just have to houserule with opponents that they actually have the Renegade Knights faction so I can still ally in my Heretorks (or commit myself to never using Matched Play rules).

Neurolimal posted:I think he just wanted to see a model along with the announcement. I understand the gnashing since it's been a criminally long time since new sisters, but These Things Take Time and GW being lead by someone not-obsessed with increasingly larger broken models is still a new occurence. The new Knight is significantly taller than the current ones. It's not just another sprue for that kit. Zark the Damned posted:Well gently caress, there goes my impetus to ever get working on my Guard army, looks like it'll be Knights all the way when that Castellean comes out. My hope is that Renegade Knights get rules of some kind, but having two basically identical books for the same models is not a good route - Marines are bad enough. Would be a good opportunity for Dark Mechanicum though...

Anyone have any suggestions for sources of Chaos Cultists with a bit more variation? I want to run them for Necromunda (once White Dwarf prints the rules), but the only thing I'm finding is the five static poses with specific weapons kits.

I'm dubious whether GW will do that in CODEX: IMPERIAL KNIGHTS but fingers crossed.

I just want to see rules for Knights that follow the true leader of Mankind and not the pitiful followers of the dragon what He conquered 12000 years ago. Because: gently caress the Cog boys, I want Imperial Knights.

Northstar have plastic cultist looking duders. Only five types of body but plenty of customisation for them, between the heads and weapons. They also sell a pack of bits for them with guns. Here and here respectively.

If anything Imperial Knights makes the Mechanicum ones the poor relations, since there'll be a full codex apparently with traits and stratagems etc. whereas the Knights are an afterthought in the Ad Mech book.

Forgeworld has Renegade Militia conversion packs for Horus Heresy. They're just torsos meant to go with the Cadian plastic kits, but I'd imagine with enough work any humanoid arms and legs will fit with 'em. There's also weapon and accessory packs for em as well.

Games Workshop is amazing. I got super hyped watching that Sisters of Battle video and basically went, "Yeah, finally! ...Wait, I've only been playing this game for four months, why am I so invested?" Definitely a different company than pre-8th edition.

Pendent posted:I'd guess Fulgrim but that's just coming from a general sense that we're going to start seeing a bunch of Slaanesh stuff really soon. Neurolimal posted:If it helps you feel better, EC are all but confirmed to be the next Chaos Marines codex, likely to coincide with the heavily foreshadowed return of Slaanesh in Age of Sigmar (since WHFB and 40K usually share daemons). Why do people think there's Slaanesh stuff coming out? I'd have thought the Morathai releases was more of an indication Slaanesh is stuffed, at least in AoS. Considering they're doing a lot more to have daemon releases across both ranges, this puts Slaanesh to the back of the queue.

So, we've been running a narrative campaign here in Nottingham, and our first month of games has wrapped up. The setup is that the Ad Mech along with a couple of space marine chapters and some assorted folks have seceded from the Imperium, and are being chased down by an angry Purity Crusade. To celebrate our first month wrapped up, I wrote some copies of Regimental Standard for the two factions. I lifted a little content for one of them, but otherwise it's all my own work. Thought some of your might get a kick out of it. True Imperium Regimental Standard Month 1 Purity Crusade Regimental Standard Month 1

Glad you liked them. To put some of it in context the cartographic error was after a catastrophic defeat of the Custodes at the hands of the Dark Eldar, and the Imperial Fists are a tiny supplementary force for the Grey Knights. Who obviously don't exist.

It looks to be a very similar framework with a slightly altered back for the exhausts. It just has different armor plating to support the new weapons.

If you are down for conversions, Kairic Acolytes from AOS make for some really nice and varied cultists.

I'm thinking Victoria's prison legion guys are the thing though, run the cult as a few ragged outlanders and a bunch of their buddies they broke from jail.

There have been more references to Slaanesh in the past two months than in the entire rest of the history of AoS combined. Plus we know Slaanesh is merely trapped in some sort of inbetween limbo rather than dead, AND current story rumors suggest Nagash's great plan in Malign Portents will result in Nagash unknowingly destroying Slaanesh's prison.

Given the different positioning of the smoke stacks and the very different carapace armor I'd be surprised if we say more than the bits for the legs from the old knight kit re-used.

I suspect the Castellan is wider, but not taller. OTOH guess I will be waiting for the new Codex before figuring out my Knights. What size magnets should I use for the arms?

Lupercalcalcal posted:This is absolute nonsense, and ignores the lead time for productions of this kind. If they're next year that means that the sculpts are done and probably the first test molds are being made. The studio will have painted at least a few test models, and photography will be in session. Lead time on a release like this is immense - it starts minimum 2 years in advance. Hey, it's not like they haven't revised the basic Sisters sculpts since 1997... Look, I'm not in a hurry here. I'd rather that GW take their time and do the job right. I've got more than enough metal Sisters to last me a lifetime, and I don't want to have the first new Sister-with-a-Bolter in 20 years (oh god has it been that long) come out half-assed or rushed. But it's still hard to accept even sensible calls for patience due to lead time when there have been calls for plastic Sisters for well over a decade...

But equally yeah, I get that. Dammit I want sisters of battle. I'm gonna drop so much cash when they release.
