The funniest thing about that Daily Mail article is how it refers to the whole affair as if it's a real, non-fictional 'Warhammer army squadron' which has now started to admit women into its ranks. Like many of the sentences, taken out of context, wouldn't give the reader much idea that this is an entirely make-believe change. Eej posted:It's slat armor for protection against RPGs. RPGs are designed to focus the explosive blast of the grenade to a tiny point to maximize penetration power and the slats catch the projectile away from the armour so the focus point is away from the vehicle and the explosive blast spreads out relatively harmlessly against the actual vehicle itself. This (and other similar replies; not trying to pick on you) is a common misconception. That sort of bar or net armour is designed to prevent RPGs from detonating. Making them detonate at that slight distance from the vehicle would not be very good protection - due to how shaped charges work, it wouldn't be enough to prevent the charge penetrating the vehicle. The intended function is that the warhead (that distinctive cone shape soviet-design RPGs have) strikes between the slats, and essentially crushes itself. Those RPGs detonate when a small charge at the tip goes off and sends an impulse down the sides of the cone into the main charge. If the warhead doesn't strike at the tip, and instead the sides of the cone are forced against each other by the bars of the armour, the circuit is broken and the main shaped charge doesn't detonate.

Frog Act posted:I hope they do that again for other old models, I swear there used to be a 40k snotling horde that came as a swarm on one or two bases but I can’t find any evidence of that and might just be remembering an old fantasy model You are correct. The snotling base used to be a shared model as between Warhammer and 40k. It was most famous in 40k as being the ammo for the Shokk Attack Gun. I don't think they existed after 2nd edition.

Unless it's a new mold (which I'm sure it's not) that Metal Ork Dread is a terrible kit. like 10+ years ago when the current Ork Dread model was released I was given one of the metal ones by the local GW manager for buying two new plastic ones. I never bothered to build it because the pieces were so janky I couldn't even dry fit them.

What does it mean that Emperor's Children are getting an index? Is that the right phrase, "getting an index?" Does it imply they're being squatted, or are they being prepared for a codex, or is it meaningless, or...?

It means Emperor's Children are going to be considered their own army after the Chaos Space Marine codex comes out. Presumably this also means that they will get their codex sometime before 10th edition ends as every army is supposed to get their own codex.

Their units aren't going to be in the Chaos Space Marine codex, and will instead be published in a free online supplement with their datasheets. It is not clear what the rules will be for using them with CSM.

They didn't get whittled down like the other legions at least, they just took off on various journeys into fulsome leisure. Will be interesting to see if they get a small selection of units like World Eaters or if they still get the mainstay chaos stuff and replace units with specific choices. If they look to the hedonites for some inspiration that would be sick. Give me those twisted yet beautiful Phoenix terminators.

It would make sense that the EC are the big 10th endcap army release, but between separating them out of the CSM codex, the new Fulgrim model for 30k (tangentially related), and 2 new EC books either out or coming out soon I hope we at least get a new Lucius or something soon. I don't want to get the official one and the 3d printed Lucius' are often so loving over-detailed and look annoying to paint.

It's basically the whole CSM codex except for Abbadon who has to be Warlord but Lucius also has to be Warlord. Finally CSM players get to experience the codex divergent chapter experience.

They had a huge manpower advantage because Fulgrim got snotty and quit the siege halfway through and took his legion with him so they didn’t get ground up in the late siege meatgrinder. Masterful commitment to the bit.

This reminds me of the other best parts of Siege for me, all the Nassir Amit POV sections. When the World Eater Kargos recognizes him through the butchers nails blood fugue and goes "hey buddy!" and Amit tells him to eat poo poo and beats his rear end. Siege of Terra owned, sad it's over.

A Raven Guard ninja-like master beat Lucius in a duel during the Heresy and got away with it because he only felt pity for him. I can't remember in which book it does happen or maybe I'm just misremembering things.

I would love the hot pink hair metal guitar satanists to be the heel army for 11th, but I don't see it happening. They always want something that looks like an obvious and unironically threatening monster faction for the ultramarines to fight on the cover of the boxed set.

Chaos being the starter set baddies was kind of an anomaly. 3rd edition had dark eldar, 4th had Tyranids with Battle for Macragge, 5th had Orks with Black Reach, 6th and 7th both had Chaos with Dark Vengeance, 8th had Chaos with Dark Imperium, but with 9th we went back to xenos with Necrons in Indomitus and in 10th we have Leviathan. I wouldn’t make any guesses about 11th but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a xenos army. I think those starters tend to be a better showcase of the universe, rather than just Humans vs Spiky Humans.

Orks would be cool for the 11th box set baddies, and entirely possible it feels like there's not really a current lore reason to be it be eldar or tau, since they're kinda-sorta on the same side as the imperium in trying to avoid everything going completely to poo poo then again, it's just a box set, so really they can do whatever they want

Whichever one they pick, they should go with one of the armies that needs a bunch of new models, there's plenty of those to chose from.

Currently the lore centers around the imperium trying to force open the pariah nexus gates, that is where 'the big one' battle is happening, so my guess is that since they already did Necrons they will go with a chaos undivided army.
