One of the selling points of HH stuff is being compatible with 40k. Even the characters and such can be used as fancy captains or whatever

Honest question here, as I've been debating on the colour scheme for my upcoming Death Guard army, did they ctually perform any action beyond the attack on Terra once they gave themselves to Nurgle? I've been going through as much lore as I can find. I understand that pre-heresy those with Terra ancestory wore the armour with pride and seemed to keep it well kept. The future recruits from Mortarion home world were more ruthless and were used in the later Crusade as being able to go without refulling and rearming for longer periods of time and wore more of the battle damage as a point of pride. So....clean is more pre-heresy and/or the Terra born recruits while later generations more battle damage. So depending on how I want to go, a clean look is viable But....when they got trapped in the Warp and gave themselves to Nurgle and became the "Death Guard" of Nurgle, did they do any battles beyond rushing to the siege? Is it viable to have some Nurgle infested marines or were they strictly at the siege as infected monstrosities? Want to know for potentional conversions and what not

Read the first article, extremely gratified to learn I won't be buying into a hobby right as a worse edition comes out. However, I was very interested in Zone Mortalis; am I right in thinking it's indefinitely suspended until or unless it's reintroduced in this new edition?

Preordered. Big box, Liber Astartes, a deimos rhino (always wanted one of those) and the special weapon pack. Watch the FLGS that's opening in the mall across the street from my apartment building sometime in June get all these things at a discount on launch day while I'm waiting a week for everything to arrive via shipping.

Should the new boxed set be up for preorder now? My FLGS owner seems to think not, but honestly he sometimes seems bizarrely unwilling to take my money and buy. the. thing.

I'm honestly kind of surprised they didn't find room for the new Zone Mortalis rules in the big Heresy corebook, given how popular those seem.

Well I'm gonna be busy. I have a box for myself, my friend is splitting a box with me but only wants the tank, rulebook, and 10 beakies, and I have an order of Gal Vorbak coming. I also picked up the transfer sheet, dice, and the bookmark. jadebullet fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Jun 4, 2022 |

Preordered the bawx and swcs, and it all came in at under €200. This might actually be a better points-per-bux deal that BaC or BoP were. The FLGS guy is hella weird for not doing preorders. Oh, and people are talking about some Liber screenshots from GMG that suggest plastic Proteus and stuff.

Ok bro, sure. Not like I'm only buying this easily purchasable poo poo through your store just a favor to you. Pft, I'm going to just buy a copy online right now. Last time he just wouldn't order a kill team book, dice, and tokens. Just told me to "message him on FB about it. I'm in your fuckin' store telling you I want the poo poo! I *think* it's less about him being a terrible business man and more about him giving 90% of his focus to the whales that buy and game there.

While the Legion as a whole was not corrupted until they were literally in the middle of the warp jump to Terra, some members of the legion were corrupted as early as the Flight of the Eisenstein. Personally, I’d say a corrupted squad or two would be totally kosher in most time periods, but a wholly corrupted army would only be appropriate during the Siege, especially if incorporating a bunch of named characters. I’m sure others will disagree, but that’s my take.

I remember reading potentially-old fluff that the Death Guard were one of the few legions that retreated to the Eye of Terror in any semblance of order. So you could definitely narratively play some Nurgle-infested DG as part of the Siege or its immediate aftermath as they made their way to the Eye. Additionally, while the big legion-wide infesting didn't happen until their trip to Terra, there were individual Traitor-aligned DG who got Daemonic prior to the Siege. Ignatius Grulgor (wonderful name) became some kind of daemonhost/living conduit of the Life-eater Virus early on in the Heresy and drives a plague wagon across Molech in the book Vengeful Spirit. With that in mind I think you could totally justify any Nurgly-looking DG as being around during the pre-Siege Heresy.

Isn't it a guaranteed made-to-order pre-order window as well? Waiting to gauge interest seems really dumb as a reason not to take individual pre-orders.Nissin Cup Nudist posted:GW making up their own exchange rates is maybe my least favorite thing. Something that costs 180 GBP coming out to be 300 USD is nonsensical. Shipping cant cost that much extra We get it the in the other direction as well. US computer games are $70 and that gets re-labeled to £70 for the UK regardless of exchange rate (it should be ~£55). And that's for digital goods.
