Just saw that close up of the bearded librarian. How badass is that? That's awesome.

Almost makes me want to take an allied Librari...

Sorry, don't know what came over me.

And the Mk6 still has a better helmet design practically.

True, there is no protection like the fanboy flameshield is there?

Will say that I am looking forward to this release, some new models for my greenwing.

No other helmet type lets you go underground, overground or wombling free.

Any news on how much the Librarian will be and if that Cherub is a separate part?

That model has Rune Priest all over it.

Mephiston Red in spray can form!? Hot Damn! This will make painting BA and Khorne Daemons ten times easier!

They should have called the paint 'arterial blood'. Then they could have sold 'arterial blood spray' which would have been an awesome name for a can of paint.

Hmm, that reclusiarch command squad with razorback is really tempting, probably be around 65 GBP i would think, and looks really cool. That and codex and maybe both boxes of vets might do it for me, and boom with the tactical squads i have a home, boom an new UM army.

Come to think of it, it is nice and aerodynamic isn't it?

Can't believe they're releasing colour sprays again after ten years.

Q: Okay, does Kantor have the Imperial Fist Chapter Tactic or not? Because if he -does- then he should follow the same rules for allying chapters which says that if two chapters have the same Chapter Tactics that they use the same detachment.You guys mentioned Lysander and Kantor being in the same detachment specifically in the show, then say they can't on here, so which is it?
A: Sorry, they can be. It's late and I misspoke/mistyped. Trying to answer question before I go to bed.
A2 (Follow-up): He [Kantor] can be in the same detachment but only Crimson Fists benefit from his Hold the Line and Oath of Rynn special rules

That.... doesn't even make any sense. So Kantor can be in the same detachment as Lysander but only CF units benefit from his rules? That would again result in what essentially is paint scheme madness, which once again is highly unlikely.

Not really. That might be how GW envisioned it, with the idealistic view that we all paint out models like they think we should. However for this rule to work all you have to do is designate which squads are IF and which are CF. It's really not that hard, or unlikely.

Can you believe this thread lasted 177 pages?

Me neither!

See you when the codex is actually released...
