So hier nun jemand der gerade nach Hause gekommen ist und von dem Open day berichtet:

Now I'm back home some flesh to the 'bones'

40K SEMINAR

Host by JJ, Robin Crukshank (IG Codex author) and Alan Merritt (GW IP supremo). A very, very tight lipped seminar, after the one last year with Alessio and Rick Priestly. The theme was the Apoc expansions for March and Codex: IG. We've seen the Stompa and Shadowsword so I'll not harp on, the next WD has additional APOC rules for Stompa's, extra wargear and a Stompa squadron Apoc datasheet. I ask the question if we would see add-on sprues for the Stompa to make the Mek and Goff variants, and no we won't currently.

IG codex surprisingly tight lipped on this also, the models look great the command squads are very cool with lots of additional bits to add to your other IG squads. Two banners in each (I think) sgts power fist, plasma/bolt pistol. Medic add ons Vox caster and special weapons. Both include heavy flamers, both sets have them based on the existing flamer units. Basically these become 'two up' the May edition of UK WD has parts breakdown and there are boat loads of bits in these two sets. There will be 4 plastic boxes 4 blisters and 2 battleforces (Cadian & Catachan) coming out. Evidently form the talk there is no multi variant Leman Russ kit and the Catachan/Cadian frame dont have additional components - buya command squad there's plenty on that seems to be the answer! Metals, Imperial Advisors we've heard about them in the IG rumours work like the SM Chapter Masters do for Apoc. Primaris Psyker is a great model nothing on the rules for him. Unlike last June's event there were no examples of the IG codex or pages from it on display. Lord Commisar is very cool too. Sentinel has had a revamp, the plasma cannon variant is very nice the missile launcher looks a bit weedy to me but the former metal enclosed cockpit pieces are now in plastic and on the sprue, also the legs are multiple pieces as well so you can pose your Sentinels in a variety of ways now. Of course the rather spanky Valkyrie - this is a very nice model, a very very nice model. Looks about the same size as the FW one comes with different chin weaponry and underslung missile on the wings and the two heavy bolter gunners. I can confirm the Valk is a fast, skimmer armour 12/10 and has a special rule allowing 'flyby deep striking' where by the Valk continues moving whilst the troops deploy. They have to take a terrain test when they land to see if they are injured. On the whole a very cool model and my DH Stormtroopers will be getting a couple at some stage. Ratlings are nice models sort of mini Ogryns with sniper blunderbusses and there is a least one Les Dawson lookelikey in there. Nothing on the rules in any depth or choices in the codex. I think Alan M was there to keep a leash on what was being said basically anything not to do with the IG/Apoc releases was not being talked about. When the inevitable question about additional games i.e Heroquest/Space Hulk was fielded it was met with a smile and a comment that a 'boxed game was being work on'. Nothing on Space Wolves, Dark Eldar or Necrons at all. I looks also like the Blood Angels with be the first and last 40K 'Dwarfdex' for the foreseeable future.

THE HALL - IG and Stompa/Shadowsword dominated the cabinets. I didn't see anything else on show that may hint at releases post IG looks like the GW clamp down on 'what we're doing' is back on after a period of some wagging tongues. The old 6 month window seems to be back with a vengeance.

More as I remember it .. photos to follow!
 
die bilder hätten es auch kleiner getan und die panzer bilder sind zwar toll aber das sind alles Alte Modelle

Werden neue Cadia Truppenboxen rauskommen? Ich mein wie bei den Orks. Wenn ja, wird man dann entweder 10 Normale bauen können oder 8 + 1 Waffenteam?

Im moment ist das die annahme aber alles Unklar ihr macht euch einfach deutlich zu Heiß des wegen
