Well depending on how the new chaos book goes I might have one heck of a legion on my hands then and make my guardsmen slowly get currupted by the forces of chaos.. considering that most games I play for campaigns I get tagged to be the bad guy due to everyone playing smurfs.. will be ordering up a BB or 2 though.. along with some of the new plastic possessed boxsets.. they look very nice.. and provide one heck of a base for conversions.. could be the year that 40k gets the revamp it needs to get into the large 10000 dollar army range Cheers Gris

I'm pretty sure that GW will use the Epic system for the selection of units in "apocalypse". It is quite easy and fluffy ( you choose companies and upgrades...). But it will be a bit more detailled (choice in heavy weapons, special weapons and so on). A kind of a cross over between the 2 systems in a way....

I notice some of you have mentioned space. I been concerned about this. If we have battles this size the boards will be HUGE! I am not sure if I even have enough room in my bedroom to have battles like this!

I know it, we'll have to wait and see. it's probably why they're releasing all the superheavies though - to make big armies smaller, modelwise.

I think it'll be like Epic in 40k scale. Lots of Heavies, Super Heavies and massed armoured formations etc.

sounds like it could be really cool. I hope they make it more integral than cities of death. I got that codex but haven't hardly cracked the cover of it it just seems like an optional 'alternate' form of 40k that people can choose to play - not something that is used in tournament play or anything other than games that are predetermined as cities of death games. I guess I'm just hoping that apocolypse will build upon the core game (but I doubt it will) ... whatever though (!!!) we get baneblades and valkyries!!!!!!!

well, the books are good and all, but in the end... uh... WORD! (cept if those books have the rules for the new cool models heh but then they become more integral - especially since everyone wants to use their uber models)

I'm 90% sure it's just the baneblade and valk for IG though we could likely see those new commissars and ogryns come around about that time too. that's all I've seen as far as IG stuff in the works and DO NOT QUOTE ME on the commissars and ogryn being released with apocolypse cuz I'm talking out my behind and just theorizing.

I just saw what is apparently the release schedule (was posted on warseer) thru the end of the year. I didn't see the valkyrie on it so that should be officially downgraded to rumormill. the baneblade is real - here, let me link you to the thread that has the link to the release schedule: www.ordofanaticus.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1861

yeah boxes of leman russ and basilisk SQUADRONS (assuming 3 kits per squadron). I also noticed the 'IG Company for like $400ish in there - that's alot of models yo. I heard the space marine battle company is like 100 marines, a ton of rhinos/razorbacks and like half a dozen predators or something crazy like that. I have no idea how people are gonna fit all this on a single table (prolly cuz they wont hehe). I never thought my war-room would be reduced to a 'skirmish room' heh.
