What new rules do you mean? The Bolter one is technically a free beta rule, you can use it our not in your group. It is in the new/upcoming White Dwarf but they also posted it on their community website.

Look at this baby for Genestealers. I'm absolutely finding a reason to steal it for my guard.



@GP, rules are pretty much the same price they always are. You can probably find one of the little books out of a starter set for 20 bucks or cheaper. The full sized 40k rulebook is I think $60. (All my prices are in Canadian because converting things is hard yo.)

Genestealers are about to get a codex, Sisters of Battle have one coming (Woohoo!) and just about everyone else has a current codex. I think, am I missing an army? Harlequins maybe or one of the flavours of space marine?

That buggy will make for a perfect looted Shockjump Dragsta or Scrapjet. I'm loving the new Ork buggies too, but them all being mono-pose is a bit of a letdown.

Yeah I'm the same. Love the buggies, bit sad its monopose. I'm already planning on getting some of the new cultist bikes to make rough riders, now if I can find something that fits for this I'm set. A scout salamander maybe? Are there still forgeworld rules for that?

New box set coming as well. Shatterspear is Space Marine Vanguard Primaris VS brand spanking new Black Legion Models. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/02/08/8th-feb-lvo-studio-preview-2019-revealed-new-chaos-space-marines-sisters-of-battle-and-moregw-homepage-post-1/

Vanguard marines appear to be units dedicated to stealth, infiltration and guerrilla warfare.

Check out Professor X over here.





Black Legion also getting some love. The video at the end also shows a real brief teaser for a new Abbadon model!

I really like the Primaris LT there. I get the jokes about the ton of Lt's they keep making, but this one actually looks awesome. Its also one of the first kits that makes me even somewhat interested in chaos.

Have IG still got the Cavalry Rough Riders unit in the army list?

Its in the index but not the codex. So you can still have them by using the index rules. Perfectly legal, just means they likely wont be updated for who knows how long. I use some to fill a fast attack slot and make Polish Calvary jokes.

Thanks - so I could use the points value from the Index, and mix them into a list from the proper Codex?

Also is the standard cavalry base a 40mm round or the oval type used with bikes?

I've seen both bases and I honestly don't know which one is the official standard. Mine are on fantasy cav bases for what its worth and no ones ever said anything about it. And yup, as long as you use all the info from the index you can use them in codex detachments and stuff.

In other more traitorous news, Abby has a new model!

There is technically no rule related to which base you need to use.  GW's position is that they recommend you use the base the models ship with.  You can use biker bases, fantasy cavalry bases, or some combination of round bases.

That is because that guy you were looking at is  special anniversary model. All the ones they've put out like that have been that price.

That second one in black and white looks ridiculous!  :Ohmy:

Just look at where his head is height-wise compared to his arms - is it a chaos or Ork mutant where the head comes out from the top of the chest.

Overall a very positive FAQ this time. Well thought out and addressed quite a few of the 'big ticket' items.

Looking forward to including these changes. My deathwach have taken a bit of a hit. The unit of terminators i've been using may not be as good now so will have to evaluate them. Glad that SM vehicles lost the bolter rule.

My guard remain as strong as ever and the opposite for my marines.

My genestealer cult build was not effected by the limits on ordering and spamming so happy days!
There are 40 different shades of black, so many fortresses and ways to attack.

So why you complaining!
