IA 12 is nearly done all the necrons good dream of is in there, confirmed that each xenos race will gets its own book. Looking to add to the existing range rather than cover non codex races.

Sorry squats.

Horus Heresy, will be probably be doing an Emperor model.

  …Primarchs seem powerful but killable. If you’re thinking the invincible beings described by the novels, this is not for you. Angron is akin to Mephison on roids, V.High WS and S, High T, W, I, A. Sv 3+4++

Play wise, it’s designed with 30k vs 30k campaign in mind, with the above force org (unless under 1500), and primarch/super heavy type units (Lords of Battle) above 2k only.
There are 6 Isstvaan III battle missions, using the 6e ruleset and adding a couple of conditions.
Designed for 1500-2500/3000 point games.
Cataphractii Armour – 2+4++ swapping relentless for S&P
Horus, Angron, Fulgrim and Mortarion are IN.
Garviel Loken is IN.

We will be putting up pictures and news all day in here and the Lounge thread, so check back often.  Dozens of BoLS readers are scouring the event as we speak.

Also, lots of info on Horus himself on the Lounge, will be updating as more comes in…

UPDATE: There are WAY too many pictures and items to repost right here.  SERIOUSLY – go check out that Lounge link, and keep on going forward through the posts.  There are dozens of amazing pictures and reports from GDUK con in there. Multiple primarchs, Legion Contemptors, unseen new flyers, etc…

Necron FOB Plate in progress

Codex Chaos Space Marines

Cult units are back to Elites
Cult units are moved to Troops by taking their signature character or a Lord or Sorceror with the right mark
Daemon Princes with the right mark does not move Cult units back to troops
You can only move units to Troops for your Primary Detachment – you can’t do this for allies at all
Abaddon moves Chosen to Troops
They’re moving towards putting Troops choices in a Codex before Elites as that makes things a lot easier layout wise – as you’ve got to have a HQ and two Troops, it makes sense for them to be first.
Weapons and wargear have been split to Ranged Weapons, Melee Weapons, Daemonic Gifts and so on, so that things don’t have to be listed over and over in multiple unit entries.
There are some unique chaos artefacts which the devs were quite surprised “aren’t all over the internet already”. I spotted one which was a Scroll, possibly of Magnus…

Have at it.
