NECRON RUMORS

via Nostromodamus on 12-27-2014

There will be a plastic Cryptek along with a new Destroyer Lord. That is all I am aware of for Necrons at this time. Don’t count on too many new units until the ranges are fully converted to plastic.

Now compare this with word from a couple days back:

Necrons will hit on the 31th of January (so advance orders are up on the previous Friday, the 23rd). Codex, clampack character, and an army box – the latter probably a bit after the book/character.


Necrons Rumor Roundup
 

CHAOS RUMORS
 
Some Chaos Marines tidbits are out and about. Strange rumors always happen when folks settle down during the holidays.
 

 via Nostromodamus on 12-27-2014

One project that is more on the horizon is plastic Chaos Cult Troops. I can say that the Plague Marines are more bulky and tailored for the new bases. Standard 5 man squads per box with all weapon options and nice bits to spruce up the Champions.

2015 will be the year of supplements and campaigns. Dark angels will almost certainly feature in the next campaign which i heard quite possibly is called DarkStorm

~The opponents to the Dark Angels are said to be Crimson Slaughter

HARLEQUIN RUMORS

via Darnok (who’s on a rumor tear!)

“As most of you will know, the next release for 40K will be Codex: Necrons at the end of January. But…

Source #1

After that come…. Harlequins. Multiple plastic kits and clams over several weeks I think including new jetbike riding ones, is there a current or old name for them? These are called sky weavers.

Apply salt as usual, but this comes from my most trusted source. Unless there is anything big I’m unaware of this should be hitting February, or March at the latest.”
Wow, the Harlequins last saw a full Army List in the Warhammer Compendium from 1991.




FORGE WORLD

 


Forgeworld rolls out 13 bundles.
 




And the new Forge World character…

Forge World shows off its new Horus Heresy figure!

The new figure is Alexis Polux. Polux is the commander who took control of the Imperial Fists retribution fleet during the Battle of Phall.

His nickname was the Crimson Fist, which he took for the name of the chapter he formed after the sundering of the Legions!

Checkout that sweet boarding shield and of course a power fist! How will you paint him up? Yellow and Black, or Crimson and Blue?



Thanks to Rob over at Spikey Bits for this. 


And the new Solar Auxilia Flamer section




Working in conjunction with Lasrifle Sections, the Solar Auxilia Flamer Section provides close quarters support to their Infantry Tercio. Whether advancing on lightly armoured enemies, assaulting occupied bunkers or entrenched behind Aegis Defence Lines, the gouts of promethium flame from their weapons will drive back foes far greater than them in number. They are also often employed in boarding actions, clearing corridors of ships with ease.

Solar Auxilia Flamer Sections can be deployed as part of an Infantry Tercio in a Solar Auxilia army in Horus Heresy games. Their rules can be found in The Horus Heresy Book Four – Conquest.

This is a complete multi-part resin kit of ten models, including weapon and head options to make a Sergeant.
