...Keith Robertson has been working hard on a brand new unit of Death Guard which you will be able to see for the very first time at Games Day.

The Ferrus Primarch and Fulgrim Primarch models will have a diorama of their duel....the two models fit together

...As for death guard unless Alan changed his plans from the weekender they are to my knowledge getting a terminator squad armed with a lot of chem/rad weapons as he felt the chemical warfare aspect of the death guard hadnt been expanded on much in book 1.

As was said, my talk with Alan was at the weekender and about new units, the Deathshroud do have chem rounds for their hand flamers, but thats it as far as the entire death guard armies "chemical weapons" go.. a couple of extra special rules on flamers. they dont have any kind of rad/chem grenades, that honour lies with Mortarion, Moritats, Seige Breakers and Destroyers.. (3/4 being available to everyone)

the other new units mentioned were the reavers, gorgon terminator squads, medusan immortals (special boarding marines), the kakophony, phoenix guard, the ashen circle (destroyer unit), proto storm shield termies for salamanders, pyroclasts (flame gauntlets), murder terror squads and proto raptors

Volume III - Battle of Phall
Release Date: Christmas pre-order shipping in January

Raven Guard
Alpha Legion
Iron Warriors
Imperial Fists (Battle of Phall for the last two)

I spoke to Alan at the open day and just had a general chat about book 2 &3. He confirmed the plan is to release the two books this year. He also mentioned that the idea was to get all the legions done in some form as quickly as possible and that whilst prospero, calth etc would be done, they don't plan to follow the same order as the black library novels.

This was a very specific point. They don't want to be the model and rules arm of the HH and specifically said that whilst they will include the larger characters I.e. first captains, wh40k surviving characters, they don't want to make All e black library characters or even cover the black library territory.

Another point he made is that they will be doing other battles to ensure other legions are covered sooner, he specifically mentioned the imperial fists. He also made the point that what makes a good novel, e.g. Narrow character focus, doesn't necessarily make for a good campaign book. He specifically talked about looking at known conflicts in a different way (I was eaves dropping at this point to him responding to someone else's question).

What I read into this was battles like Calth, whilst will be included it will be in the scheme of either a broader campaign or looking at a specific aspect e.g. The underground war. They are not going to verbatim copy know no fear - for example.

Also spoke to alfonso who designs sons of horus. The contemptor is coming as is more legion specific units e.g. Command squads and that this is generally happening for all the legions. There were some very cool sketches in his note book. Sons of horus are going to be more involved than in HH novels.

Finally chatting to all the guys, the general idea was that HH book 1 was a bigger success than they planned and they had recruited LOTS of staff of the back of it. Talking to Alan he was saying that whilst the outcome of the heresey is set in stone, what they d explore isn't.

Sollte stimmen. Ich hab am Games Day das selbe gehört. Am FW Stand war der Mensch, der für die Produktion der Formen mit verantwortlich ist, und der sagte auch sowas. Ferrus Manus sollte der nächste Primarch sein.

Das ist ja schon lange bekannt bzw. sogar schon quasi offiziell angekündigt worden, dass Ferrus der nächste ist. In einem 30k-Board habe ich gelesen, dass danach an Horus und Lorgar parallel gearbeitet werden soll. Horus von Simon Egan und Lorgar von dem, der gerade Erebus und Kor Phaeron gemacht hat.
 
halte ich für ne Ente. Auch wenn ich es mir als DG Spieler wünschen würde.
Wäre er wirklich schon in den nächsten Tagen bestellbar, dann hätte man ein Exemplar, oder wenigstens ein weit fortgeschrittenes WIP auf den vergangenen Games Days bewundern können.
Und da Forgeworld kein B2B Verkauf führt, glaube ich auch nicht das damit eine händlerspezifische Vorbestellung gemeint ist.

Bitte, bitte lieber Imperator, Tzeentch, Khaine, Mork oder wer auch immer mich hört, bitte lass die Mortarion-Meldung keine Ente sein... das wäre der Startschuss für meine Pre-Heresy-Deathguard. Damals, als sie noch cool und unvernurglet waren 😉

Davon abgesehen: HH IV: Prospero? Aber gern! Aber mein SW-spielender Mitbewohner bekommt auch noch seine geliebten Sororitas Silentum... das werden harte Zeiten für meine Thousand Sons 😀
 
Das würde mich sehr wundern, wenn es keine Ente wäre. Ferrus hat man schon so oft gelesen für den kommenden GD und die Jungs hier sind sogar momentan live bei dem Event auf dem gerade angeblich Mortarion vorgestellt werden soll:

Da wurde lediglich ein neuer Roman angekündigt. Wäre komisch, wenn die vom Roman berichten, die Minis aber auslassen.


edit:
Das im gleichen Post angesprochene PDF hat Natfka bereits selber wieder runtergefahren:
"I have been told by several managers (since this post went live) that there is no pdf."
Die Glaubwürdigkeit dieses Posts ist also recht dürftig.

Wie inzwischen fast alles was da so steht....

Von Warseer:
At the weekend Alan confirmed the book is on its way so unless the boat gets lost it will be available at games day. Book 3 is now being finished so Christmas is achievable too. Book 2 is as big as the first. So as it does not contain the original army list that gives you an indication of the number of legion specific units, mechanicum (full army list) and backround in the book. It also means another costly book.

At games day will be a lot of the units seen at the heresy weekender plus many more unseen. To buy that is!

Oh and Vulcan will have the biggest ever space marine thunder hammer. Even bigger than Ferrus'! He will be a 'hitty' primarch!
