Plastic Sisters for reals this time / Cadian Campaign / New Inquisitor? / Commoragh Game

That last one is still a rumor. It's from Natfka, who has a crappy rating, and appears to be a mix of known stuff and potentially made up.

Greetings Guardsmen,

We hope you are enjoying your posting on Cadia, where everything is fine and will be forever.

We have heard some disturbing rumours of late that several of you have reported sightings of a suspected xenos creature on Cadia – specifically, a Necron.

Such talk is, of course, laughable. Mankind is the only sentient race with the courage and fortitude to endure under the unkind gaze of the Ocularis Terribus. Cadia’s so called “Man of Iron” is no more real than the night-shadows of Mandragorae or the Deathleaper of Medusa V.

You are most likely witnessing one of the many dutiful priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus, who have recently been assigned to Cadia for completely routine maintenance of the planet’s entire defence system, in preparation for the continuation of everything being fine. For those unaccustomed to fighting alongside such beings, they can seem a little odd and inhuman at first, but their augmentations are entirely sanctified, and in no way alien*. Once you get to know them, they are all most agreeable folk.

In fact, extensive studies have found no trace of any xenos influence on Cadia, or its surrounding moons, at all.**

There had been speculation once that the pylons may have in some way been the ruins of an ancient alien empire. This has been proven false. We are happy to share with your the findings of renowned Xeno Biologis Orthion Casus*** upon completing his survey**** of the planet Cadia circa 939.M41.

‘Upon completing a detailed and exhaustive survey of Cadia, I can state with confidence that the “pylons” on its surface are in fact not of xenos origin, but a natural byproduct of Cadia’s unusual – but entirely natural – geological processes. I am happy to conclude that Cadia’s first settlement by any sentient race was therefore during the Great Crusade, almost 10,000 years ago, resulting in the fine and upstanding human population we find there today.’

Well there you have it, Trooper.

Conclusive proof that Cadia is free of xenos taint.

You may now continue your intense preparation for the imminent continuation of Cadia being fine.

 

Thought for the Day:
‘To know the xenos is to hate the xenos.’

* To suggest otherwise is heresy. Report to your Regimental Commissar if you have transgressed.
** See above.^

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Conclave-Acquisitororius

 

Belisarius Cawl does not take his rank – that of Archmagos Dominatus – lightly. Each time he ventures out into the cold gulfs of space to gather materials for his secret labours, he uses his absolute authority to requisition impressive swathes of combined Mechanicus forces to aid him. Maniples of Skitarii and chanting Electro-Priests stride into battle, their confidence bolstered by the hulking silhouette of a towering Imperial Knight. Enhanced above their already-sinister capabilities by Cawl’s datapsalms, the combined Mechanicus forces brazenly appropriate all information for the glory of the Omnissiah.


This bundle collects together the miniatures necessary to assemble the Conclave Acquisitorius, a formation from The Gathering Storm: Fall of Cadia. You’ll receive an impressive array of miniatures, including the Triumvirate of the Imperium (Belisarius Cawl, Celestine, the Living Saint and Inquisitor Greyfax) as well as a veritable wealth of Adeptus Mechanicus:


-        a framed and signed commemorative art print by Paul Dainton limited to a mere 50 individually-numbered copies, as well as 3 artwork cards featuring the heroic Triumvirate of the Imperium from The Gathering Storm: Fall of Cadia;
-        10 Skitarii Vanguard;
-        10 Skitarii Rangers;
-        5 Sicarian Ruststalkers;
-        5 Sicarian Infiltrators;
-        3 Sydonian Dragoons;
-        an Onager Dunecrawler;
-        2 Kataphron Breachers;
-        an Imperial Knight Warden;
-        a Kastelan Robot Maniple (4 Kastelan Robots and 2 attendant Datasmiths);
-        2 Fulgurite Electro-Priests;
-        2 Corpuscarii Electro-Priests;
-        a Start Collecting! Skitarii set – this adds another 10 Skitarii Vanguard, another Onager Dunecrawler and a Tech-Priest Dominus.

 

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Wrathful-Crusade

 

The warriors of the Wrathful Crusade fight with the absolute knowledge that they are fighting for the future of the Imperium. Theirs is a holy mission, a calling that drives them forward into the enemy with unbridled fury and zeal. With bolt and blade, fury and fire, the warriors of the crusade tear their enemies apart, fighting as one with cold-eyed determination until nothing remains of the enemy but corpses burning in the flames of faith.


This bundle collects together the miniatures necessary to assemble the Wrathful Crusade, a formation from The Gathering Storm: Fall of Cadia. You’ll receive the following:


-        a framed and signed commemorative art print by Paul Dainton limited to a mere 50 individually-numbered copies, as well as 3 artwork cards featuring the heroic Triumvirate of the Imperium from The Gathering Storm: Fall of Cadia;
-        the Triumvirate of the Imperium – 5 miniatures, including Archmagos Belisarius Cawl, Celestine, the Living Saint and Inquisitor Greyfax;
-        1 Space Marines Captain;
-        2 10-man Sternguard Squads;
-        4 10-man Space Marines Tactical Squads, with 4 Black Templars Chapter Upgrades;
-        2 10-man Space Marines Assault Squads;

When the Imperium faces the direst of threats, it requires all of its military arms to work in conjunction to secure the future of Humanity. Bolstered by their versatility and shared devotion to the Emperor, and driven by the desperation such a mustering of strength signifies, disparate Imperial warriors become a force greater than the sum of its parts.


This bundle allows you to field the Castellans of the Imperium, a Detachment from The Gathering Storm: Fall of Cadia which forges the greatest of Humanity’s defenders into one combined army. Included:


-        a framed and signed commemorative art print by Paul Dainton limited to a mere 50 individually-numbered copies, as well as 3 artwork cards featuring the heroic Triumvirate of the Imperium from The Gathering Storm: Fall of Cadia;
-        a 6-man Space Marine Terminator Command;
-        2 10-man Space Marine Tactical Squads;
-        a Stormraven Gunship;
-        a 5-man set of Space Marine Scouts;
-        a 5-man Sternguard Veteran Squad;
-        a Valkyrie;
-        a Start Collecting! Militarum Tempestus box – this adds a 10-man set of Scions, a Taurox Prime and an Officio Prefectus Commisar.

"Good news on the sprues. Only Celestine and the Geminii share sprues so we could potentially see these models released individually in the future. Cawl takes up three sprues, Celestine and her Geminii take up three sprues and Grayfax takes up a single sprue."

new video

Last year we promised that 2017 would be the best year of Warhammer 40,000 ever, with incredible new miniatures, climactic galaxy changing events, and epic developments in the story of the Dark Millennium to mark 30 years of war in the far future…

It all starts on Cadia, as the fortress world of the Cadian Gate braces itself for the greatest Chaos invasion in Imperial history.

Against the Gathering Storm, stand some of the greatest heroes of the Emperor’s realm, depicted in a few of the most incredible Citadel Miniatures we’ve ever made: the Triumvirate of the Imperium.

Gathering Storm: Fall of Cadia is a an event that any fan of Warhammer 40,000’s lore and background will want to read. In many ways, this is a battle that has been brewing for 10,000 years, since the first Warmaster of Chaos, Horus, fell at the siege of the Emperor’s Palace above Terra itself. Now, his successor, Abbadon, plays his hand*.

For those gamers out there, there are loads of new rules in there too. Naturally, there are datasheets for the three new heroes, all of which are powerful warriors and have rules that can bolster any Imperial force. There are also new rules to form Grand Crusades composed of the combined might of the full Imperium – Adeptus Astartes, Astra Militarum, Adeptus Mechanicus, Imperial Knights, Adepta Sororitas and all the other myriad arms of the Imperial war machine.

Additionally, there are rules for playing games in and around the Cadian Gate at the time of this 13th Black Crusade. Empyric storms ravage the war zone, empowering psykers, creating vortexes of Warp energy, and generally making the battlefield an even deadlier place than usual!

Warhammer is so much cooler than ten years ago.

[Guest]

So, is this a remake of Eye of Terror, or is this a seperate event that just happens to take place in a very similar set of circumstances?

[pretre]

It's a remake of the 13th black crusade.or just a rehash or a reprint depending on how you look at it.

[Guest]

Just curious. Was trying to figure out if they were advancing the plot, or just updating the old material to fit their cannon changes over the last few years.

[pretre]

Updating and advancing.
