Reivers Rules Leaked!

Greetings all! Apologies for the lack of updates. I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post. I am in the middle of moving to a new apartment and I did just have someone break into my online bank account, so I'm dealing with all of that. I did want to pop in quick and share the rules for the Primaris Reivers which were just leaked. Also, I did "fix" one of the released pics of the Reivers in Photoshop. My rendition to the right.

Reiver stats after the jump.

Indexes Leaked! First look at Blood Angels in 8th!

EDIT: Updated with scans from the Index! Scans of points, profile of Death Company, Death Company Dreadnoughts, and Terminator Ancient after the break.

Turns out someone on an Italian Forum has all of the Indexes and is posting the rules. Over on DakkaDakka, KurtAngle2 is translating everything to English and posting it in this thread.

Being that this is being translated and there are no actual pics of the Indexes in question, I'd take this with some salt. The good news however is that the Space Marines Faction Focus article dropped on the Warhammer Community website. Seems like a lot of this is actually lining up, so it seems fairly legit.

After the break our first look at the Blood Angels in 8th Edition.

8th Core Rules, Devastation of Baal

Mortarion!

Majority of these were posted by Grot Orderly over on Facebook some others I grabbed from I don't know where. If I missed crediting someone, please comment and I'll be happy to add. Just reposting here as I haven't seen all the images posted in the same spot.

Also, if you are hungry for more 8th Edition news, check out this crazy long thread on Dakka Dakka. Big thanks to Rippy for maintaining the crazy summary in the first post.

Harlequins Compiled PDF Preview

All right all you Juggalos and Juggalettes! It's time to queue up Insane Clown Posse and Wicked Clowns as today sees the preorder of the new Harlequins Codex.

As usual when a Codex goes on preorder there is a bunch of new eye candy to take in including new images as well as excerpt previews from the Black Library website and the Apple's iBooks Store. I've complied both the iBooks and ePub previews into a single PDF for your viewing pleasure. I also have all of the images reposted here so you can view all the new stuff in one place. I'm not really down with the clown, but this Codex has some of the best artwork I've seen coming out of GW (including the above image I stitched together in Photoshop from the iBooks preview).

View the images and download the PDF preview after the break.

Starweaver/Doomweaver leaked (aka Clown Car)!

I've never been a big fan of the Harlequins (unless we're talking the Joker's chick), but I know people really dig them so I'll repost them here for everyone. I have to say, the models are pretty cool. Probably not something I'll pick up, but I like the action poses on the minis and I especially like the look of the Starweaver/Voidweaver.

Pics of the models and rules after the break.

Final Blood Angels Rules Dump

This is it. My final "preview" post on the new Blood Angels Codex. This gives us a really good picture of what to expect come release. If you are stuck on a forum or Facebook group that's fallen to the Black Rage, stop on over at The Bolter and Chainsword's Blood Angel Subforum which has resisted the Red Thirst and remains the most open minded and frankly the best gathering of Blood Angels players on the internet IMHO.

Big thanks to Pascalnz and Duke Danse Macabre from over there for getting hold of the Codex early and doing a massive Q and A. I believe they are still answering questions, so if there's something you are dying to know, head on over to this thread. At this point, I'm satisfied with what I know and for anything else I'm just going to wait until I get my Codex.

Rules dump coming after the break.

Spanish version of the Blood Angels Codex leaked!

Iuchiban has the Spanish version of the Blood Angels Codex and was doing a Question and Answer thread over on Warseer.

I reformatted everything and posted below for your perusal. I also added it to my Blood Angels Compiled MEGA Post. Here's what we know:

Army Special Rules:
Furious Charge

FOC Changes:
HQ: Librarian Dreadnought
Troops: Tactical Squads, Scout Squads
Elites: Death Company, Dreadnoughts (Death Company and Furioso), Command Squad (Honour Guard are gone)
Heavy Support: Baal Predator

Baal Strike Force Detachment:
Mandatory 1 HQ, 1 Elite, 2 Troops
Optional: as usual, but 3 additional Elite slots (Total 4)
Special Rule: +1 Initiative when charging, all the army, any turn.

More after the break.

Blood Angels Compiled PDF Preview

Update: I updated the link. Apparently all the traffic broke my Dropbox!

Just in case you aren't keeping up with my "Blood Angels: Compiled MEGA Post!!!" I created a 55 page PDF which compiles previews from: Blood Angels Codex: iBooks Interactive Edition, Blood Angels Codex: eBooks Edition, and the Sons of Sanguinius: iBooks Interactive Edition. You can download it here.

With that, I'm going to take a break from the Blood Angels rumors for the time being unless pics leak of a unit we haven't heard of yet or something else interesting pops up. I'm still adding auctions to eBay and I'm starting to get to the Warhammer Fantasy Battle stuff I had laying around. You can see what I'm currently selling here.

Enjoy the weekend folks and let's offer some words of encouragement to my Pittsburgh Steelers as they are in dire need of it.

Till next time,

New Blood Angels Terminators Pic!

Where are all of the naysayers now?

I have a lot to add to the compilation thread and I'll get to that tonight. Just wanted to get this pic up right away.

New Blood Angels Terminators!

I received an email from a reader whose been playing since Rouge Traders days and he's been worried (as well as some other people) that after the Tactical Squad, Sanguinary Priest, and Codex are released, the Blood Angels are done.

Arguments for this suggest that Games Workshop wouldn't release a new unit after the Codex. Well, historically that isn't accurate.

We'll break it all down and analyze the picture that everyone is talking about after the break.

We'll start with the good stuff (all the leaked images) after the break.

Blood Angels Codex Cover Revealed!

Here's the new Blood Angels Codex cover. Really liking the look of this. I'll do another rumor roundup in the next couple days.

Till then,
–The Harrower

New Sanguinary Priest!

Here's the new Sanguinary Priest from the upcoming White Dwarf. I'm not sure, but this looks like Corbulo to me!

And here's another pic of the Tactical Squad.

Exciting times to be a Blood Angels player!

Shield of Baal: Leviathan Unveiled!

Pics from White Dwarf 42 have surfaced and Shield of Baal: Leviathan has been confirmed. The odd part? The Blood Angels don't take part in the initial part of the campaign. Here's the text from the article:

Shield of Baal: Leviathan is the opening installment of a new narrative campaign for Warhammer 40,000, depicting the Tyranid invasion of the Cryptus System, the Shieldworlds of Baal. The campaign follows the harrowing events as multiple worlds are struck by massive elements of Hive Fleet Leviathan. Against this onslaught the Imperium calls upon the regiments of the Astra Militarum, a Militarum Tempestus strike force and even a convent of the Adepta Sororitas, hurling them into battle against a foe that seeks to harvest worlds.

More after the break.

No Updated Boxed Set for 7th Edition :(

Looks like there is no Blood Angels vs. Orks (or Astra Militarum vs. Eldar) Starter Set for 7th Edition. According to the new White Dwarf, it mentions that Dark Vengeance will be updated with the new mini rulebook. Here's a pic. I'm not happy about this, but I'm not surprised either. Here's to hoping that the rumors of a new Blood Angels Codex aren't BS.

Till next time,

Tyranids Cover Revealed!

Long time no post. I'm done with school, but in the process of moving across country to Austin, TX and that has taken up a lot of my time. That doesn't stop me from keeping up with my favorite hobby.

The Tyranids are on the horizon and here we have the new Tyranids Codex revealed! If you ask me, this is by far the best 40K Codex cover. It looks awesome and I can't wait for my Blood Angels to get eaten by aliens again.

Couple more pics and some unit entries after the break.

40K Radio reviews the upcoming Space Marines Codex!

I don't typically review or cover Podcasts, but my favorite Podcast, 40K Radio, has released Part 1 of their Space Marines Codex review which is HUGE. I can't remember the last time we had such an early and in depth look at an army Codex (Grey Knights was the last one that comes to mind). From what I've heard so far, it sounds like this Codex is going to be amazing and I can't wait to add some Space Marine allies to my Blood Angels lists.

More after the break.

New Space Marine Tactical Squad Pics

Pics are starting to show up of the new Tactical Squad Boxed Set over on 4chan. The new Tactical Squad isn't a big departure from the previous one and that's a good thing in my opinion. It looks like there might be 10 unique legs per set as each of the legs in the pics above are different. I especially like the Grav Gun (second row middle) and the marine that's aiming (first row far right). I'm sure these aren't all the bitz from the kit as we are missing the other special weapons and this image of a Crimson Fist Marine reloading his bolter also showed up.

The below image was also posted along with the Tactical Marines, but I'm pretty sure this is a Sternguard Sergeant since he is carrying a Combi-melta. I think this model looks great, and I'm happy that GW is going for a slightly different look with the new heads.

The flood gates have certainly opened and this definitely looks like Space Marines is going to be an amazing release. Can't wait till the new White Dwarf comes out so I can see more.

Till next time,

Rules for Space Marine Centurions

The Space Marine Centurions have been the talk of the town the past couple days. A lot of people don't like the models, don't like how they'll be retconning the fluff to fit them in, and of course it's the new over powered unit that everyone has a problem with. Personally, I'm not a fan of the models, but they are starting to grow on me a bit. I'm reserving final judgement until I see them person. As to the rules, the sky isn't falling and I hate how people form an opinion before we have all the info. Take a breath and relax.

Anyway, my favorite 40K Podcast, 40K Radio, has been posting some info over on their Facebook page of what the rules look like in the upcoming Space Marines Codex. Here is what we got so far and I did reformat this a bit for ease of reading and to fix some typos. If you want to see the original post, check out their Facebook page here. They also said there is more coming, so it would make sense to follow them on Facebook and give them a Like.

Rules after the break.

More Space Marine Pics!

A lot more pics are making the rounds and the current batch of pictures look fantastic! Except for the Centurions as the jury is still out, but the Devastator Centurions do look a LOT better (pics of them below).

Here we have the new plastics for the Chaplain, Captain, and Librarian. These are pretty cool and I like how the Librarian looks like Merlin and has Kano from Mortal Kombat as a cherub. Pretty creepy! Not sure on the Chaplain, but I think this is just a bad angle. I do like how the Captain has the old school crest on his helmet and that he is in the same pose as the Captain from the Black Reach boxed set. Nice homage there and it looks cool.

A lot more pics after the break.
