Though some people flip their vehicles over on the game board if destroyed so I can see why they might not like it...of course you could just store some cotton wool smoke in there and pop it out for the visual effect when it gets destroyed.

I believe 9th ed 40k removed this entirely - Vehicles simply disappear from the board like videogame characters now.

Well that's a bit naff, mind its not a problem for me as I don't play 9th.

I seem to remember in 5th (last time I played much 40k) I made a crater for each of my vehicles just in case they blew up or I'd strip the weapon off it it was wrecked.

Hoo boy do I want 'em...I'll miss the lizard scale shields, though. The promises of new releases later do make me hope that cold one riders will get a much-needed update, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.

I was never a big fan of the Lizardmen faction, but hoo boy indeedy. Those look really nice, and those feathered dinosaur steeds are a wonderful variation on the all-too-familiar themes.

Very nice! I too will miss the scaled shields a bit, but then I like that the new bronze ones are reminiscent of the old 5th edition models. I hope the Slaan will be of a suitable size to use in older square-base armies.  8)

And more Space Marines, this time with super-jumbo-rocket-missile-whatnots. Because, apparently, there are still not enough Space Marine models in the world. Good show then.  ::)

Price increases on some stuff from 06 March link

Average claims to be 6%. Paints pots and starter sets not affected

I suspect they won't be the only folk doing this in the coming months  :(

Loving the new plastic Arbites!

I quite like them but their armour, even by 40K standards, bugs me. Gutshots aren't nice!

More of the individual Kill Teams up for pre-order. I've been waiting for the Kroot, and they're in this batch  :D - link

I just realized the new kill team has dark eldar which are basically 1 of each already existing warrior sprue, plus a new one. Seems quite reasonable but I was under the impression all the older boxes have been fully new models?

As I understand it, each Kill Team box has one entirely new set of figures and one existing set with an upgrade sprue. I bought Octarius, which had a new set of Orks and the existing Death Korps of Krieg with some new bits.

I suppose it cuts down development time and costs having to only sculpt one new set. I had no need for the version with the Kroot (can't even remember which one it was), so was happy to wait for the group to be released on their own.

There's a new partwork starting now:

https://www.warhammerstormbringer.com/

I'll be picking up issue one for £2.99 and issue 2 for £5.99 as I like the look of those orcs.
Waiter, my soup is giggling.

I grabbed issue 1 from Tesco yesterday and I'll likely get the next 2 issues for the orcs & stormcast. Just checked and thats almost half the price of buying the basic AoS starter.

Got it last night from tesco - And I'll certainly get the 10 orcs for £6 with issue 2.

this first issue also comes with a nice card game mat perfect for skirmish sized games and a very nicely printed poster - Not that I'll ever actually put it up, but it is a good one.

I couldn't find Stormbringer magazine at our TEsco. Is it being sold anywhere else?
