via anonymous sources on Faeit 212 The orc fighter is getting a resculpt new kit which will allow you to build 4 different versions of the fighter instead of 3. The other is the Stormtallon Gunship. It will not be able to make two gun fighter ships. (This bit is likely the Stormhawk and the source got confused with the billion Storm-ships around.) The Death From the Skies book coming out will have a limited print run of the hardback edition followed by an unlimited print of the soft back. But if You viewers which to get the hardback, they should get it the first week. This does not mean they are making a collector item they are simply printing a smaller number then they would normally.
yes like the centurion. HH and 40k names are separate but not ignored, i remember in the centurion descrption somewhere the difference with the centurion grade in the old legions
Instant fan of the "chaff launcher". Launching stick boms behind you, hoping to intercept enemy missiles, is propa orky.
GW has been playtesting Bloodbowl. The board and accessories look familiar, as do some of the players. *Doesn't that player on the far left seem to be doing well? He's got all his team in his opponents part of the field, hidden from view. (But he should be off editing books!)*
Leaks are out on Death from the Skies. Part 1, Part 2 Wall of text inside. Spoiler: Eldar suck! (As usual, translations may not be 100% correct) - There is a new detachment: Air Superiority Detachment Is formed by 1-3 Flyer Wings* Restrictions: All models have to be chosen from the same faction Benefits: - Air commander; If the commander of the Wing is in reserves, re-roll interception, If you have superiority and your Chief is in Reservers you add +2 to your reserve rolls instead of 1. - Combined formation: You choose to make a single reserve roll for the whole formation if you want. - Transport that have the hover mode have the Objetive secured rule. Of course I need to read the book to know what it all means. All the existing flyers have the same point costs and rules as in their current codex. The stormhawk costs 125 points and comes with: Twin linked assault cannon, twin linked heavy bolter, "super laser thing" (24", S9, AP2, Heavy 2), Ceraminte plating, and one ítem that allow the stormhawk reroll when jinking. Has the supersonic special rule. May exchange the laser thing for an Icurus Cannon for 155 points. May exchange the heavy bolter for a Typhoon missile launcher for +20 points or for a Celestial hammer missile thrower for +5 points. About the ork flyer: 140 points 12/10/10 3HP (Cannot translate the ork weapons) Twin-linked 36", S8, AP2, Heavy 1, Blast, Gets hot 1x 36" S1D6+4, AP1, Heavy1 5++ vs one single hit each enemy shooting phase (May be exchanged for an ork energy shield 5++ to be bearer and all models at 6" for +25 points) and can other chapters....BA and SW etc use them? Looks like, but they have to be taken as part of the detachment mentioned before. The book says that all the flyers described in this book replace their Data Sheets in all the current codex. Seems that this rules are coming to stay. FMC are not in this book. The datasheets are: - Valkyries - Stormhawk Interceptors - Stormtalon - Stormraven - Storm wing (Formation) - Strike Wing (Formation, 2 Stormhawks + 2 Stormtalons) - Blood Angel Stormraven - Grey Knights Stormraven - Dark Talon - Nephilim - Ravenwing abductor squadron (Formation, 2 Nephilim + 1 Dark Talon) - Stormwolf - Stormfang - Ice Storm assault pack (Formation, 2 Stormwolves + 2 Stormfangs) - Heldrake - Razorwing - Voidraven - Blackheart Talon (Formation, 2 Razorwings + 2 Voidravens) - Crimson Hunter - Hemlock - Shroud of Kurnous (Formation, 2-3 Crimson Hunters + 1 Hemlock) - Night Scythes - Doom Scythes - Oppressor Flight (Formation, 1 Night Scythe + 2-3 Doom Scythes) - Blitza-Bomber - Burna-Bomber - Dakkajet - Wazbom Blastajets - Ork Skwadron (Formation, 3 of any but Wazbom Blastajets) - Kustom Wazmob (1 Wazbom + 3 up to three of any other ork flyer including the Wazmob) - Razorshark - Sun Shark - Air caste Support cadre (Formation, 2 Razorsharks + 1 Sun Shark) I will try to sumarize the new stuff: All Flyers have now three new Atributes: Combat Role, Pursuit and Agility (the more the better) When shooting there are two types of targes: Ground and flying. Flying targets are FMC, other Flyers, Jetbikes and Grav vehicles. The rest are ground targets. New rule: Air superiority: If a player has Flyers in Reserve at the end of the Aerial Duel Phase can add +1/-1 to their reserve rolls. Opponent has -1 to reserve rolls. Any flyer can now make an additional pivot at any point of ther movement if they roll their Agility or less in a single D6. Only Flyers with the Attack Role can have AA when shooting, but they have -1 BS when shooting Ground Targets. Flyers do not benefit from cover (Terrain or other models) When moving Flat Out you can add your Pursuit to the distance The different combat roles give different bonusses depending on the type of the Attack Pattern. There are 6 different attack patterns. If I could post a picture of the patterns I would do it, but I think that it is forbidden ... To sumarize a litte bit: Duel Phase happens at the beginning of each Player's turn. It is optional. It only involves Flyers in reserve or active reserves. If a player wants to skip the phase, roll a d6. Winner decides. 4 Subphases: Interception Aproximation Maneuver Attack INTERCEPTION Each player roll a D6. Winner (after applying modificators) is attacking player, the other defending player. APROX, MANEUVER AND ATTACK During each phase each player chooses secretly a Tactic, then compare tactics in a table and apply results. At the end of the Attack phase, resolve a shooting phase between both flyers, applying the mods from the previous phases (if any)
I know it's not 40K, but..... Leaked pictures of the new AoS boardgame Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower! http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2016/05/warhammer-quest-silver-tower-latest-rules-pics.html Box contents (Whoa Nelly!
