pretre Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Chapter Approved 2018 Talking of the 41st Millennium, we’ve just revealed what you’ll find in this year’s edition of Chapter Approved – your essential guide for gaming in the 41st Millennium. Chapter Approved 2018 is packed with content for all kinds of players – we’ve got a sneak peek at some of the most exciting headlines. Take Looted Wagons – Chapter Approved is the home for experimentation and innovation, so is the perfect place to include rules and guidelines for including your most kunnin’ konversions in your Ork army in open and narrative games. Or the Eight. When Codex: T’au Empire was released, we had loads of fans ask about fielding Commander Farsight’s elite bodyguard – so, in this year’s Chapter Approved, we’ll be bringing these iconic heroes to life in style. You’ll find a host of new datasheets for using this gathering of Fire caste legends in your games, including matched play. As if that wasn’t enough, Chapter Approved 2018 will also feature a beta codex for the Adepta Sororitas! This is quite possibly Warhammer 40,000’s most anticipated codex ever, and we want to make sure we absolutely nail it, so, alongside our usual rigorous professional playtesting, we’re asking you to help us out and provide your thoughts. Make no mistake – while this is a beta codex, it’s a fully fledged one that offers the Adepta Sororitas more options and more cool stuff than ever before, allowing you (for the first time EVER) to represent the unique tactics of various orders with unique Orders Militant Convictions. The Order of the Bloody Rose, for instance, are zealous close combat specialists: There are loads of nifty Stratagems too – one our favourites is Burning Descent, which lets Seraphim purge the unclean from on high by giving them a free shooting attack when they arrive and increasing the range of their hand flamers: Deep fried heretic, anyone? Vigilus: The Next Chapter Over the past few months, we’ve heard all sorts of news from Vigilus – a war-torn world on the frontier of the Imperium beset by invaders from… well, pretty much everywhere. Now, it’s time for the Imperium to strike back… Vigilus calls for aid, but who will answer? Something tells us things might get worse before they get better for this beleaguered sentinel world… Necromunda Not to be outdone, the Necromunda team have been hard at work and can reveal the final House Gang – meet the insidious agents of Delaque: Re-designed and re-born in glorious multipart plastic, your House Delaque gang will be available in a jam-packed kit that lets you build a host of sinister gangers armed with all manner of unique equipment – not to mention the best trench coats the underhive has to offer. If you’ve been tempted to get into Necromunda, it’s about to get even easier. Two new books are on the way that take the content from the Gang Wars so far and compile it into a pair of concise guides to skirmish warfare in the depths of the underhive. The Necromunda Rulebook is your essential guide to the game itself, combining the rules found in the Necromunda: Underhive boxed set with a host of content from Gang War and updated with the latest feedback from the FAQs and Errata. Meanwhile, the Gangs of Necromunda supplement contains rules for all six of the House Gangs, plus Hangers-on, Brutes, the trading post and more. These books are your one-stop shop for rules and are perfect for both veteran fans looking for an easy reference for their battles and juves looking to take their first steps in the underhive. If you’re looking to get started, Necromunda: Underhive is still a great way to do so, but now, you’ve got the option of kicking off your first campaign with one of the other gangs who’ve joined the fray, like House Orlock or Cawdor. Nightvault Speaking of skirmish warfare, we’ve got some exciting news on an upcoming warband for Warhammer Underworlds – the Godsworn Hunt: We’ve seen the Darkoath expand over the past few years with both the Darkoath Chieftan from Warhammer Quest and Malign Portents’ Darkoath Warqueen, and it’s awesome to see this fresh take on the marauding tribes that fight alongside the Slaves to Darkness. For Warhammer Underworlds players, this means new cards and new strategies to master – while Chaos fans will be able to add these warriors to their Warhammer Age of Sigmar games with a free warscroll. That’s not all! We here on the Warhammer Community team have some cracking content planned for you, and soon. Building your dream Kill Team is about to get a lot easier thanks to Command Roster – a free online tool that lets you build matched play-ready kill teams in moments. We’ll be launching Command Roster soon… For Warhammer Underworlds, meanwhile, we’re teaming up with the guys who created Udeck to bring you the ultimate Warhammer Underworlds Deck Builder. Designed to make building killer decks as simple as possible, and including additional functionality for making sure your deck is tournament legal, it’s sure to become your ideal companion for adventures in the Mirrored City. Celebrating our Warhammer Heroes The first round of Warhammer Heroes – our global effort to find and recognise the hidden heroes who make our hobby awesome – was a roaring success. With your help, we were able to give a number of key pillars of the community the glory they deserved – and we’re almost ready for round two. Coming to a wall at Warhammer World, soon. Podcasts! Good news, podcast fans – your wait is almost at an end. We’ve spent the last couple of months looking at how we can make sure that StormCast and the upcoming Warhammer 40,000 podcast, VoxCast, are as awesome as possible, and we’re happy to announce that both will be returning in December. Mark your calendars! An Event-exclusive Space Marine Lieutenant We can also (at last!) show off a very special event-exclusive model. This Primaris Space Marines Lieutenant (first previewed at AdeptiCon) will only be available at independently run Warhammer events next year, starting with AdeptiCon in March. Event organisers are a key part of our hobby – it’s through their tireless work that countless thousands of people across the world get to take part in great Warhammer events. This model commemorates that tireless heroism and is a special thank you to everyone that’s helped us make Warhammer as awesome as it possibly can be. We’ll be keeping you posted in 2019 as to just where and when you can grab this model for yourself. And One More Thing… Lastly, the time has come to take a look inside the Blackstone Fortress – Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress to be exact. Squinting at the models trying to work out what they all are? We’ve got you covered – here are some detail shots of Amallyn Shadowguide, an Aeldari Ranger who has thrown her lot in with the other explorers searching for the Blackstone Fortress… …and this awesome Ministorum Priest, Taddeus the Purifier, a zealot who’s following visions he believes were given to him by the Emperor himself. AND, to cap it all of, here are a pair of all-new Chaos Space Marines! We’ll have more news on what this all means for you on Sunday. Make sure to check back then for our most in-depth preview of Blackstone Fortress so far… Wow – some pretty cool stuff in there! Let us know what you’re most excited about over on our Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar Facebook pages. And don’t think we’re done with the awesome reveals just yet, either – we’ll have more news and previews for you at the Vigilus Weekender event in Warhammer World later this month… 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Realm of Chaos The Beasts of Chaos aren’t the only children of the Ruinous Powers in for a treat. We can finally pull back the covers on just what Wrath and Rapture is – and just what it means for you! Wrath and Rapture is a new boxed set that pits the bloodthirsty Daemons of Khorne against their most ancient and bitter rivals – the Daemons of Slaanesh. Like other battleboxes that have gone before it, this set will feature a loads of miniatures including exclusive new characters and units, like these ferocious Flesh Hounds: These guys will be battling against the brand-new Fiends of Slaanesh… …as well as featuring alongside EVEN MORE as-of-yet unrevealed models. It’s an exciting time to be a Chaos Daemons player, whether you’re terrorising the Mortal Realms, 41st Millennium, or both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 It may technically be an AoS release, but the Flesh Hounds and Fiends work just as well for 40K! Man, I need to buckle down on getting Rogue Trader painted so I've got the decks clear when these drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Why wouldn’t a sniper carry a knife? Knives are useful as hell. Everyone should carry a knife, pretty much always. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 I have no problem with the knife, but there's a bunch of detail on the rifle that I'm totally trimming off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Looks like every other Eldar longrifle out there. Seems to have an additional stabilizer arm and an extra long barrel, but that's easily explained away as being a different model... Like, a higher power or a greater range. A Barrett M82 does look broadly similar to a Remington Model 700, but very different in details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a sniper-rifle in close-quarters combat aboard a space station seems the questionable choice to me. Not the knife. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hopefully the above is a sign that GW hasn't forgotten about the CSM kits being in dire need of an update. Love the two new CSM marines. They look good. Very solid undivided CSM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pistol holsters on that model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldar laspistols and shuriken pistols tend to have very long barrels and the shuriken pistols also have very wide bodies, so she couldn’t really conceal one in her robes... She’s got a couple grenades though. Always a crowd pleaser in close quarters. Maybe she’s got some Jokero digital weapons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 We weren’t kidding when we said we had a LOT to reveal today! Wrath and Rapture has already set the internet aflame – and that was just the Fiends of Slaanesh! Having shown off more models a few weeks ago at the Blood & Glory Studio Preview, we can finally take a look at some of the most exciting miniatures from the set, such as the new Herald of Slaanesh and Karanak. We’re particularly excited about the reimagining of Khorne’s most faithful hunting hound – look out Wizards, Karanak’s back! Finally, fans at the Open Day have had the chance to find out more about Chapter Approved 2018 for themselves, as well as talking to the team behind this essential guide for gamers. For those of you not at the Open Day, here are some tidbits we’ve learned… It’ll let you customise your characters more than ever before! Chapter Approved 2018 features a new character creation system for open play where you can build your very own legendary heroes. If you’re feeling creative, this year’s edition is going to be great for you. …and your units! One of the takeaways from the narrative play section was Battle Honours – a system that lets your units level up and develop new skills throughout campaigns. It’s good news for the Grey Knights Matched play fans have been scrutinising the new points from the book, and it’s clear at this point that one massive winner is the Grey Knights, who have seen sweeping points reductions across a swathe of units. The Adepta Sororitas are back – and better than ever Of course, Codex: Adepta Sororitas is one of the most exciting things about Chapter Approved this year, and we’ve had a chance to get an even better look at the rules. We’ll be previewing these in depth soon, but in the meantime, here’s another awesome Stratagem to tide you over: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Karanak and the other new Models from Wrath and Rapture are looking pretty awesome. No sign of a new Keeper of Secrets, tho. Chapter Approved looks like the bulk of it is going to once again be a bunch of Open Play stuff that pretty much no one's going to use. Looking forward to seeing the points adjustments and the Sororitas Dex, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalmer Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 ... looks like Marneus Calgar is back and has been Primaris-sized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusldorf Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 holy trinity stratagem seems most likely to be useful in a seraphim squad (1 pair hand flamers 1 pair melta pistols), but if i was trying to set up for it with a regular sisters/celestians squad i think i'd do combi-flamer on the superior and a multi-melta on a regular sister.
