    General Infomation

    Incase you havn't noticed, a few kits are up to advance order aswell as the codex so get over their if you want them.

    To be released January 16th 2010

    Written by Robbin Cruddance (Author of Codex:Imperial Guard) and is already completed.

    A second wave seems to be planned as well.

    HQ

    Special characters, such as Old One Eye and possibly the Red Terror, will return. These will be survivors of wars and also have been mutated, instead of individuals.

    Malanthrope may be a new HQ choice.

    Gaunts

    All gaunt now in seperate box sets.

    Hormagaunts will be 6 points and normal Gaunts 3 points including Without Number (WON). This is without ANY other weapons,
    only with WON. Hormagaunts will be able to buy WON for 3 points.

    Nidzillas

    Carnifex will be made to be more close-combat oriented.
    Crushing Claws are +1A, double Strengh (10 Max), ignore as, add d6 pen, d3 "wounds"/"vehicle hits".
    Shooty Carnifexs will become less powerful.

    Plastic Tyrgon kit

    One of the new species: The Mawloch. Buildable from the kit for the Trygon, it is a variation on the Trygon, "with a distending mouth and lots of funny spines all over it." Again go over to the GW website for a better look.

    Weapons
    Talons +1A.
    Envenomed claws, upgrade to CC symbiotes, wound on 3+
    Rending Claws, autowound on 6 on hit, more expensive
    Spinefists, fire and run?
    Barbed Strangler, large blast, entangle...unit next move as difficult terrain
    Lashwhip, remove X attacks from attacking unit (allocate as wounds), can target individual, but then only affects single model. no min 1A. no longer base contact constrained.

    Misc.

    Plastic kits are not been re-done

    More anti-tank weaponary.

    Warriors to be improved. They will be avilable in every slot. Wings will them Fast Attack, a Tyrant as a HQ makes them troops, heavy support have +1t, +1sv and each can take a "heavy" weapon.

    Possible new more powerful psyker.

    Genestealers are going to be reduced stat wise. Moved to Elites.

    Broodlord and Lictors will be much improved.

    See page 7 and 10 for a stat listing. I cannot confirm either of these and that is why they are not on this post.
