Should have read a little more carefully, then. There is no complaint about the Daemonhunters or Witch Hunters on their own. The problem is the Allies rules, which allow you to take only the strengths of those two books and add them into stronger 5th Edition codexes. And you can use that to cover what few weaknesses remained to balance that increase in strength. No other army lists have that luxury.

Yes they can and its the cheapest way to take one. You simply exchange your jump packs for a rhino or drop pod.

Assault Squads can't take drop pods.

It's a multi tiered defensive terrain, that actually looks awesome when you see it up close

Does Spear of Sicarius remind anyone else of Spear of Longinus?

Wait... Did... did you just call the Witchhunters and Daemonhunters unbalanced?

Please tell me you're a comedian or otherwise have no clue to their rules because, well lets face it, they are currently two of the most nerfed codices on sale.

Now please pardon me whilst I laugh myself to death.

Have to say, having the prices would help me plan for any purchases.

I am guessing the cathedral is the dark angels one we have seen in the promo shots. (awesome)

But the defense line coming as a single model? One barricade in a box? It had better be damn cheap!

The spear may come with a few heavier vehicles, like predators and iron clads.

Because the ultramarines are the posterchildren of GW, and Sicarius is the biggest one of them all. Ugh, dem boys in blue. Like we really need them any more.

For a moment I had a nerdgasam. To be totally supportive of the release and be the token GW-lover, I can't wait for it to come out. The Imperial strongpoint and the Cathedral sound like some very intesting pieces of terraign, As well as the mines and boobytraps, etc. It seems like something fun to play a game over. If the RoB voard was a bit cheaper I might look into the Imperial Outpost, but because GW will probably on Increase the price I'm not looking foreward to making my wallet starve to death.

I bought 2 of the imperial city sets just for personal use so they will find a buyer her for the new terrain, just not the actual boards which are a complete waste of cash and storage space

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only,...

Imperial Architecture!

Hoplophile — Thu, 14 May 2009 15:42:01 -0000

That's super cute, but I question their logic of dropping devastators in.... fluffwise I'm thinking Thunderhawk deployment for any of the heavy stuff.

Which leads us to: Plastic T-hawks, c'mon c'mon!!! :P

CATHEDRAL! Must see that! sounds awesome!
Everything else is pretty nice as well, tempted to get one of the other buildings, but a cathedral...

Re: 40K SNEAK PEEK: July Releases

GW's trend for imperial structures is somewhat well thought out from a modeling standpoint as well as a financial one. Imperial architecture lends itself to conversions for a few of the other races. Add bodies and spikes, chaos bastion; orks bolt whatever onto whatever, so make some rivets, get some random stuff from the hardware store and it's orky; Tyranids have really only sent hive fleets into imperial space, greenstuff some tenticles, then glue on some rippers and those little hive nodes from the gaunt sprue, voila! late stage tyranid terrain. I'll be the first to admit, there are a lot of races that get neglected in this game, right out of the box, or with some ingenuity, these kits do cover a lot of races.

ThatDude — Thu, 14 May 2009 13:20:16 -0000

Really? You're complaining because it sounds big?! Has the whining about GW pricing gotten to the point where we start complaining BEFORE we know the price? Here's the wonderful thing about free market societies, Don't like the cost? Don't buy it.

RealGenius — Thu, 14 May 2009 13:10:07 -0000

Well, let's guess... 142 models. Second Company is diagramed on pgs 18-19 and pictured on 124-125.

Sicarius and the Lions of Macragge plus Trajan is 7, so that leaves 135.

Sic Tac Squads, 2 Dev Squads and 2 Assault Squads is 100, so that's 35 left.

Two Dreads and Pods for them leaves 31. Pods for everyone else leaves 20.

So what is in the 20? Maybe 10 Sternguard and 10 Vanguard?

kire — Thu, 14 May 2009 12:58:20 -0000

that would make far more seance. i had always amused hat cathedral was a scratch built but then again i thought the same of the imperial bastions until i saw the box. so i got my hopes up. (not that i could afford it either way)

Somehow I think the rest of us will be able to enjoy it without your critically important aprroval.

Thanks for the useful input, though.

Bugger. I misread Sicarius as Sicarus and gasped at the possibility of a Word Bearers
army. Then I re-read it and remembered GW haet CHoas marines.
