I guess you know better than Jes Goodwin himself :rolleyes:

That would be the 'necromancer' unit. Rumors about it/a big walker have been floating for many months. The initial rumor was even accurate about it having a giant glowing crystal in its chest.

Wait, 12+ named characters? You mean 12+ HQ units, or actually that many named characters?
Draigo, Mordrack, Crowe, Stern, Corteaz, Karamazov, Valeria and Thawn are the only named characters so far,...

Hey Bigred, I don't suppose that you could clarify what kind of source this came from? Is it random internet buzz or a something you were told directly from a person? Just wondering :)

That's the point though. Look at Space Wolves and how much of a makeover they got. I'm not quite familiar with the old Blood Angels, but I'm fairly sure that they too got a huge shakeup. His stuff...

It was actually pretty bland :/
Rending across the board, the band-aid of 40k rules.
Stern as Mephiston Mk2 down to not being an IC.
Jet packs.
No assassins when GK are on the field. :rolleyes:

Aww :(

Reds8n at Dakka has the June WD and confirms that the whole PDF thing is... a complete fabrication.


Did the guy who said that crap give out any other details, just to know what else is bollocks?...

Can't hurt to get a confirmation, especially for something this important. The thing is already out, so I'm sure someone could be bothered to actually verify that the claim wasn't made up.

We're still waiting a confirmation on that though. Shouldn't be hard/take long to ascertain whether or not the June White Dwarf says anything about this (as per the rumor).

Kiss GK-in-2010 goodbye it seems.

Not believable one bit, yeah. If SoB were this close we'd be hearing about it; instead it's full-on GK and DE with Necrons somewhat trailing behind.

I deeply hate the design of the landspeeders, but a closed off version that ressembles a Valkyrie/Lightning would be fantastic. I hope this unit will have a model, but I'm afraid this will be the GK...

You're right, it's a sort of Ares-not-Ares. He later commented on it:





So it's not exactly a classic Land Raider Ares.
The cannon placement and length resembles the FW Valdor's but on a LR...

Stickmonkey is back in business.





The Land Raider he's talking about is the Ares, which is pretty neat.

Harry said that the first wave of DE models is ready to go, so it's neither a codex nor model issue. At least not anymore, which is why we're seeing conflicting rumors.

Purge the Heretic from HO proposed a fairly solid theory: both armies are ready to roll out and now it's up to the marketing department to make a choice. Hence why both armies are getting 'me first!'...

It's amazing how every week the rumors flip flop between "GK first, then DE" and "DE first, and GK second" :p

They usually parrot what comes from online websites like BoLS and Warseer :D
Coincidentally, early this year (and also in late 2009) Harry was saying that GKs are coming.

Pretty much.





At this point there's really no big reasons to doubt that GK are next and August is more and more likely.

Considering that WHFB is quite a bit less popular than WH40k I don't see how that holds any water.

The reasons against them that I've seen the most: 'they are too powerful' or 'this guy would...

Swarmlord and Trygon Prime in a 1000 point list? That's nearly 2/3 of your army on two units.

Personally I'd use two Tyranid Primes (2x Boneswords + Deathspitter) each joined to a brood of two...

Have fun garbage diving for destroyed models :D
Pretty sure that they know that some people will attempt this, so they'll destroy the stock (well, the stock that's not kept by employees and their...

They did, and inversely there have been back-to-back Xenos releases. Like DarkLink said, the "cycle" is simply GW trying to balance out the releases. Keep in mind that half the armies are Imperial...

Ah right, there's that too. I didn't mention it because I really have no idea what it's worth.
