If it helps....anyone with an HQ and 3 Platoons should be set to go here.....I have no doubt it will be something along the lines of the Space Marine Company formation.

So 30 mega vulcan bolter shots? Very nicee!

The trick is that this is a TRASNSPORT variant of the tank, so moving might be a wise choice when crossing the battlefield. Its also a Super Heavy, so like the Gorgon we are not talking Turbo charged engines here....Although I do agree 30 shots is nice, I have used that many shots from my 2 titans in previous battles and I can say it is swwweeeeetttt. Especially when you can take down a whole squad of marines in one round of shooting....

Its a new month and new FW gear is coming soon! Looks like a cool new artillery tank, which looks to be as big as a Land Raider. Double Earthshakers perhaps....Hmmmm worth looking into for a conversion job. With the mole launcher it looks like the notorious Mole Mortars are BACK! More blast from the past....it seems to be the new way with GW, digging up old rejected gear and giving it new life in the current age of 40K, seems the same with FW. I wonder when the laser destroyer will make a comeback? Finally the hades, which for me is perhaps the biggest disappointment, although I have yet to see the rules but this is no Termite. Which is what some of us old timers were hoping to see. Perhaps in the future, but for now the Hades is more of a one trick pony, and like DWV Codex the conditions need to be right for this to be effective, in this case a Siege battle. Enjoy!

Wow, some gorgeous new stuff there. I love that mole launcher. A really nice piece of nostalgia there. Although this means I have to buy IA volume 6.Doh. :)

Ah, the hades breeching drill I saw this in one of the FW books and I wondered when they would release the model. Now that it's here it's disappointingly small.  :-\

Looks good though, as do the other mole gun and minotaur

I survived the "CoC Crackdown".

Imperial Minotaur

Ho-ly amphetamine parrot.

I want one. Actually, I want three. I want a battery of those magnificant beasts.

Any clue as to where the rules are? It's not on the contents page of Vraks part II.

These may be 'leftovers' as has happened a few times in the past. So didnt make teh cut/were finished too late for Vraks.

The Minotaur has definately grown on me *in a few hours* money is now waiting for one of those lovelies :)
Its an even stranger day when you have a fat Games Workshop-Fanboy Ninja declare to end you for something you did for April Fools on Teh Interwebz.

It's a strange day in the world where I find myself agreeing more often than not with Swiper.  :D

Heh, I would have money waiting for one of those lovelies if it weren't 80 frakking pounds, a.k.a. just over $200 in real money. That's before shipping as well.

I may have to cancel some of those Space Marines...

Actually today the exchange rate puts 80£ at $140. Not quite $200, but still pretty pricey.
10,000 points of guard is like having $10,000 in nickels, sure it's $10,000, but it's all in nickels!

Try SGD. 200 bucks! And that's without counting shipping.

But that's something to aspire to. Knowing GW and their lack of dual firing ordance weapons though, I'm willing to guess that that's a twin-linked Basilisk shot. With better armour (thank goodness!).

Well, the macharius isn't twin linked, and that has two ordinance...

Its strange how that the Minotaur comes out after I've been planning (if only in my head) a super-heavy artillery tank based off a Shadow sword chassis (three eathshakers in the box turret, like a battleship)...

I'd guess a heavy 2 Earthshaker, rather than a twin-linked one.

Really? Gee, I've always thought the Macharius was twin-linked. My bad.

The Vanquisher cannon is, I believe, but the battlecannon version is ordnance 2.

It makes sense from a design perspective. If you had those two cannons pointing out the front, you wouldn't be able to put the driver's position there. Meaning you'd either have to elevate the drivers position, exposing him to fire, or use some some expensive and fiddly sensor array in order for him to be able to see where the hell he was going. It's really a very sensible design, insofar as anything in 40k can be called sensible.
