The more in depth preview is up now.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/11/04/the-blackstone-fortress-awakens/





Hammerhead man is an Imperial navigator, Chainsaw Flamer is a missionary zealot and other fun things.





Everything will have rules to use in 40k, and possibly kill team as well. They're also extending the preorder period to be 2 weeks, so preorders start on the 10th and the game itself is out on the 23rd.

The Blackstone stuff seems incredible, unfortunately I don't think I can get my mates to play it. Luckily I just got my brand new Ork codex and money to burn. So many enticing options though, I'm unsure what to buy first.

Apparently you can play it solo also!

Yuppers! Warhammer quest that can be played with 1-5 players, so likely no GM needed if you want to play co op. I want to see more of the mechanic that lets your characters 'level' up between missions. Or at least keep equipment from one game to the other. I'm curious to see how different the rules are from Silver Tower.

I could play it solo but for me that beats the point of getting the game. I want my games to be a social event, for single player RPG's, well. My Steam library is full of them  :-P . Also as an Ork player there are so far no models in there that I can use for my regular army. Expansions might change that but that might take a while.

Interesting lore blurb, but the big ol robot in the Blackstone set is confirmed to be a Man of Iron that's been masquerading as an Ad Mech robot. In addition to that, it's exploring the Blackstone Fortress to try and find robot tech, and possibly somehow get in touch with whatever machines are IN the Blackstone fortress.

It's the Vigilus Open Day Weekender, so GW is showcasing a ton of new models coming out in the next few months. There's more talk of the SIsters of Battle stuff and making Grey Knights cheaper points wise in the coming Chapter Approved, and a new campaign book set on Vigilus that will showcase a new Marneus Calgar who's been upgraded to a Primarus.

But check out the new models!

You mean your wishlist isn't just more ultramarines and Primaris LT's?

Another garbage Chaos model. At this point the Black Legion are even less interesting than Ultramarines.

Love the genestealer cult models, along with the Blackstone and Necromunda they prove that when GW stop making marines for half a minute they can produce magic.

Most people I know seem to be pretty pleased with it. Looks like a nice little bonus without being that powerful.

I will experience the rules fast enough as my friend likes to play Iron Warriors with plenty of regular marines, but by the looks it seems an elegant solution that isn't overly powerful.

So it should apply to Sisters as well?

As the current rule, I think its unlikely. Doesn't it say something like only applies to Astartes or Heretek astartes?

My money says Sisters are going to get something similar but under a different name in their own codex. A buddy of mine was even suggesting this might be an easy way to beta the rules for not just marines, but see how bolters will work for sisters before they put the book out.

So this has become a bit of the new release section, so here's more upcoming stuff! On the 23rd and 24th of February is a big black library shindig and stores are going to have some promotional limited time stuff. including:

Commissar Severina Raine!

Is there a list of what else is being done promotionally?

And by the way, how much do the new rules cost?

And are the current army codexes compatible?

Mostly a couple of new books and some reissues.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/01/23/23rd-jan-coming-soon-black-library-celebration-2019gw-homepage-post-3/

It's still 8th edition, so all the codexes they've released since the update are still compatible. They've just done more work FAQing things and occasionally boosting stuff, like this new bolter rule.
