Sorry.. But the vulkan model looks hideous... The robe/cloak is too chunky and big, crowds the model... The legs/shins seem too short and out of proportion, the spear arm is just awkward, and the gauntlet of the forge they made look way too cumbersome and clunky. Epic fail GW, epic fail...

Awesome. I've been waiting for Planetstrike for what, a year!?

Actually I love their codexes- they are some of the only ones left that actually have any freedom at all

My friend Kelsey looked at the Planet Strike cover...
And thought it said Planets trike.

I stand corrected, I must of been thinking of Battletech, been reading some of that lately. Your right about the lack of love for them recently. I would like to see a combined codex for all the Ordos. With the size of the recent codexes that should not be too hard.

You apparently give enough of an eff to publicly state you don't give an eff...

This is supposedly an expansion for the regular game (as well as apocalypse). It focuses more on set-up and deployment, making games more "attacker/defender" as opposed to the standard "equal ground" style.

Pretty much, they're trying to diversify the way 40K is played, which in my mind is more than welcome whatever the scale.

Agreed on the waiting... I'm willing to bet that it's more the awkward camera angle more than anything else. It looks like the arms are further away from the body than it appears on first inspection.

Planet strike cover: Who is the creepy dude over on the right over the NNI of millennium? Looks like a grim reaper or am I just seeing things?

Funniest post I've read in a week!
Two points, sir!

Don't get me wrong, I like the Inquisition, but really, if they are going to let it languish for so long and not update the codex, better to just cut it off and let it go completely. Then maybe it can return in the future, better than ever in some new/combined book.

Really, Daemonhunters is barely a book at all, more like a pamphlet, if you take out all the rules that don't do anything anymore.

This years GW Games Day model was in the last two White Dwarfs. It is a WoC champion.

Oddly enough the Salamanders had a salamander-like yellow/black scheme during the Badab War according to Lexicanum...

Thanks for the response. I'd never seen it mentioned in any of the material I have. It seems like Forgeworld sticks with green for their iconography as well. Forgeworld's looks like a wood elf dragon IMO.

They said they won't drop anymore armies, nor will merge those two together.

Also, there was something about making those Codies more about GK and SoBs, and less about Inquisition, Storm Troopers, Assassins and Church Freaks... which makes me really sad.

Oh cool that makes sense... I havent read the codex :)

I believe this is an "exclusive look" at an upcoming product that will first be unveiled at Games Day (much like Planetstrike), not a "Games Day Exclusive" model.

Wow. There's cynicism, there's bitterness, and then there's what you have. I'm not sure what to call it, but it's pretty sad whatever it is.

Planetstrike is another expansion, like Cities of Death, that will allow taking the standard 40K game in a slightly different direction by adding additional possibilities. This is great from the standpoint of those that like narrative games and campaigns, as well as those that like to push 40K beyond the little box that the basic rulebook encapsulates.

Excuse me? What is the reasoning behind your statement?

Re: 40K SNEEK PEEK: Planetstrike Cover & Vulkan

Forgefather — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:10:43 -0000

Now that's lame. Do you get this model when you hand in your ticket at Chicago / Birningham / somewhere else, or when you buy the ticket?

Also, getting this model will be a pain in the ass when you can't actually come to the Gamesday. :<

That's a shame, you missed out on all the fame and riches that come with being the first person to reply to a blog post.

Yeah, we have no friggin' clue what's within Planetstrike. And besides, I still don't even own Apocalypse, just to show you that you don't have to buy expansions.

Reread it. The unveiling to the public was (or will be) a Games Day exclusive. This years figure is some Chaos warrior.

Congratulations, you have just volunteered to bring us lots of pictures from the French Games Day! ;)

(it's on April 19th, isn't it?)

Ok, normally I'm all for levying heavy criticism at GW (gotta keep em on their toes or they stop trying lol), but c'mon. You don't need to buy Planetstrike. No-one even knows what it's going to contain or what other releases are going to be associated with it. So why react like that? Chill. Personally, I've gotten my hopes up for some new Eldar stuff based on that cover art :)
