If you like a character, and want them on the tabletop just do it. Who cares what the lore was/is? If you want to represent Chairon in your games do it, and you can make him cool as hell. Buy miniature A off eBay, replace head, done. He lives. It's our game to tell stories in, we're not chained to what they do.

You're looking for the top guy.

How is this News or a Rumor? Repost in Amicus?

I've played Ultramarines since 1st edition, OG beaky plastics and metal boys. This new release is great. Wonderful updates all around. I bought 2 boxes of Victrix and the dice. I have the old guard squad in metal, so seeing the chapter banner in plastic was a must buy. As for transfers I was lucky and snagged one of the veteran tyrannic vet sheets. See attached. Glad I saved it.

The world of 3d printing fulfills this extremely well. Given what they've been doing with the accessory sprues lately I'd recommend the aftermarket.

Love the new Stealth Suits! Why does the Neutraliser have a bigger forehead section? It's the only unit with this feature. The leader has an extra bump sensor on his helmet, and they seem to not share jump packs across the squad. I'm not sure why that one unit has a bigger noggin.

Glad they finally dropped these, and they look like I thought they would. My enhanced proxies are in no danger, and look equally as good Lightning Claws are an improvement over the legacy version. I'm disappointed in the Thunder Hammers though. They could have differentiated them from the standard TH, giving them better damage. The OG Terminator TH has a thick power cable that connected to the suit via the wrist power cable socket. This could explain the improved profile, and give us a reason to field them. Missed opportunity in my view.

Nope. It's Battlezone: Manufactorum – Sanctum Administratus.

A money grab to me would be just releasing it for wide format screens and modern chips. + They've gone into the base code to fix community related issues, improving quality of life play mechanics. - The graphical improvements will be a wash for new players, they never played they old diffuse only textures. + Having it all in one game is going to be nice, not like 5 DVD's. If you've not played it before, and you like 40k, it's definitely worth it. I'm biased as I worked on half a dozen mods.

I own an the way up to Soulstorm for DOW 1. I'll be buying it tomorrow, full price, with joy. The work they've done has earned every dollar. I poured a lot of love and hard work into that game through the mod community. To be able to play "Dawn of Steel" and "Inquisition Daemonhunt", in wide screen, after all these years is literally a dream come true.

I just got out of the store, where I saw a DreadKnight cosplaying as a young mother. Seriously, it's a difficult design nut to crack. The Sisters warsuits are close, Shadowsun is rocking Waldo arms like a Shirow Landmate, and she's close. They just don't have it yet.

Do you know if Thudmizer is involved? That man was crazy committed. He carried DoW modding on his back , community engagement, programming the whole 9 yards. Man's a legend.

Oh man. I'm looking forward to non 4x3 aspect ratio, and legacy mod support. I remember when the team and I played Daemonhunt vs the Relic devs, so much fun. Buggo and the crew. Getting that and Steel Legion running will be aces. It also looks like they are adding specular maps to more units, they were added too Necrons but no other race sorted them.

Could the Birdbots be a one off sculpt? As I understand the team design and make minis, then eventually the rules guys make rules for them. These were likely not developed to supplement TS and fill a hole, rather someone made a "cool" mini and we happened get rules for it. Do we know who designed and sculpted them?

Could go either way. Having different weapons isn't enough to split a profile. Tyranid Warriors have three different melee weapons on the models, all use a unified profile. GSC Aberrants have giant power hammers and dual power picks, use a unified profile.
