    Those new crossbow units are some crazy glass cannons.  The short range one are pure gold for sitting behind friendlies and defending an objective.

    If there is some rule to move them 'without moving' you'll get a lovely 27 shots from 3 models.

    So are the last few stormcast models going to be up for pre order this weekend or is that going to be the week after. I figured it might be next month so they can put them in white dwarf.

    They're already in the WD.  They should be up this weekend.  Then I assume the 3rd 40K book and then whatever AoS release after that (Duardin!  :x)

    IIRC, the original plastic GUO turned into the Glottkin, so I'm a little sceptical. But it's hardly impossible. They're half way through already.

    I haven't seen anything, but speculation on that point.  There currently is no replacement for the actual GUO model.  There will not Replace BT and LoC to the standards they are currently and leave the GUO as is and just say 'well this one is good enough'.  Either they re-release Glott as a duo kit (unlikely) or they make a new GUO.

    I think they are only showing half of it. There is what appears to be a hinge on the lower right side, and it is definitely a locking mechanism.  My guess is some entry hatch, or a cover for a boiler or coal fired furnace.

    Actually this makes sense to me.  It feels too small to even fit a dwarf.  Some sort of fuel hatch clicks.

    Not much. It's 4 Units of Liberators and 2 of Judicators for the Hammer of Sigmar and a Celestant, a Relictor and 4 other heroes  between castellant, heraldor, vexillor, azyros and Venator for the Hallowed Knights. 

    Four units of libs is a LOT more than people would usually take.  And considering your other units benefiting from this ability have to fit into the mold of the other battalions it could be quite restrictive in options.

    That is 1300 points minimum before you get to other battalions - not including the cost of the battalions themselves.

    Many seem to be waiting with regards to Fyreslayers.

    In fact, they are seen as an "expensive" army to collect due to the absence of a box. For some, Start Collecting seems to have become the new "normal" - aside for filling-in a few gaps here and there.

    Not necessarily a bad thing.  They get a wave of sales when early adopters get in on their excitement and another when the bargain hunters pickup the bundles.

    There's no way I'm waiting for DoT models to bundle.  I need them right meow.

    Damn!  I really really was hoping they wouldn't do stupid paint scheme rules.  Dumbest thing ever! 

    There has never been a rule that you can't use rules based on the color of your miniatures.  Other players might find you to be a beardy opportunist, but that's about it.

    I count 4 in the picture with at least another two on the way.  My dark elves have exactly two, darkshards and repeater bolt throwers. Stormcast is already spoiled for choices in the ranged department.

    The guy with the 'cannon' is a judicator.  

    Stormcast are a very slow army.  Judicators are very soft ranged.  Prosecutors are costly and short ranged.  Adding options that bring fast units and a ranged threat that forces opponents to move gets SC off the teleporting rock.

    Warhammer Weekly is a livestream YouTube show that is done by myself and @Vincent Venturella (who placed second in the community championship this year) each Weds evening.  Each show is 1-1.5 hours where we cover news, releases, and talk about some element of the game or community.  Each week we have a guest on the show from the community.  Oftentimes it is a personality from the community like Dan Heelan or MC1Gamer, or one of the many Warhammer content producers.  This week, Rob of Warhammer TV was on the show.    Next week is actually our two year anniversary for the show.  

    This week's show, which Rob was on, can be found here.  The show is on Vince's Youtube channel, which can be found here.  I also post new episodes on my blog here on TGA, and the link can be found below.

    Ah ha - it threw me when you said Rob.  Looks like I have more stuff to watch!
