I would have responded to their email with the following:

"To those concerned,

Feel free to play beastmen, and take revenge!  You can get the following to start you off..."

[Andrew May]

@Scurv, I'll refer you to my opening word "Meh"....
but of course in your hurry to always be right you might have misssed that.

I hope they don't find out how I work Sooty.

  Best post in a long time!

I had a look at theat PETA thing. My favourite bit was from one of the comments below:

"There is nothing in 40k that is a good example of life choices."

Joining the Gryph-hounds, the Vangurad Hunters and Lord Aquilor are Steel Eagles and Stormcast Vanguard Auxiliaries mounted on Gryph-Chargers...  

I think I want them all!

If I'm going to stick to my pledge of not buying until I have finished what I already have painted... I need to get my butt in gear.

The pricing of the new furry Stormcast is quite interesting - £37.50 for 10. When the Stormcast Liberators were first released they were £30 for 5. Now those are being repackaged into packs of 10 as well, though the price has not been announced.

Unfortunately for everyone else, GW still haven't acknowledged the drastic change in the value to GBP, so the same furry Stormcast box is 50 Euro or $60.

Yep,

Appears they are repackaging into 10 Liberators, Judicators and Van-Guard Hunters per box (6 for Prosecutors).

I hope that they don't change the minimum squad sizes in the GHB though (like they did with the... er, Paladins was it?) - a lot of people with the Start Collecting sets are going to be rather upset otherwise that they have a number of very under-sized squads.

I rather like that - the bird especially (although I feel ambivalent about the rider). Nice colourful paintjob too!

I think the big griffin and that floaty, four-armed wizard/demon thing are great. The crossbow-pistols are pretty awful, though - they don't even look like they have a slot for the string. And if bolt guns were good enough for Warhammer amazons, why not just give these armoured chaps some?

I don't think folks who want to engage in Match Play will mind given the amount of minis needed to put together a 2000 pt army.

But yea, hopefully they won't change the squad sizes soon, however, when GHB2 comes out, it wouldn't surprise me if squad sizes change.

Close: Black Templars release confirmed in 7th Edition! 

[nic-e]

That's a really nice army.

For those interested in AoS there's a great fan supplement making the rounds rigth now called hinterlands. It's about 6 pages of add on rules to make AOS into a skirmish campaign game in the vein of necromunda. (the guy that made it has done AMAZING work on it, to the point that alot of people thought it was an official GW leak.)

It's well worth a look for anyone looking for a solid skirmish system since the AOS rules are free, the generals handbook points are readily available online, the warscrolls are free and this supplement is free.

Robot Gullyman and black Dark Angels in 40k?

Looks a lot more bad ass than the Forgeworld Heresy version of him.
