Well after looking at the leaked ref. sheet from France (which is also available to see in English on the same thread were the French ref. sheet is) I must say that 5TH Edition Guard will be Epic!
But my friend and I were wondering what the Vendetta is? We both believe it is the Vulture Gun Ship from Forge World, just renamed. Can anybody enlighten us???

Those of us on The Board don't really know what it will be, either. I'm hoping it's like a vulture gunship, yummm:
a heavy bolter, 2 frag missile launchers with a 4" blast radius, and 2 battle cannon shots...but if you want all anti-infantry, you can ditch the single use hell strike missiles and have no less than four frag missiles with a 5" blast radius! And if you'd like some tank killing ability from the sky, you can give it a nose mounted lascannon...plus 4 hunter killer missiles which it can fire all together. At least, that's the forge world version. Hoping it will be here, too!

You know, I rather like the vulture more than the vendetta. So that is what I am naming my first one if it is what we think it is. GW cant make me conform! NEVAR I TELL YOU.

its dumb....
you would need to make the masks for all 4 of the crew members... then it would be cool! And if anyone bitches about it, you can just say its your "Commissar's Personal Ride." Hey, if Armoured Company gets Black Command tanks, the Drop Crew can get black ships.... my two cents.

Vendetta is "up-gunned" Valkyrie according to warseer. See my post in "More guard rumors"-thread

It's a vulture gunship.
Awesome. Better start work on my cadian/Robert Duval conversions.

Gotta get some of those old school Harlequin heads and use them. They have a very V for Vendetta feel to them.

P.S: Are you also called John Galt on some other forums?

Okay. Your Ayn Rand reference will be tolerated so long as you do not go about referencing her works, quoting her works or indeed mentioning her in any way.
It's one of my little quirks. As a student of history and economics, I find her works deeply insulting to my intelligence.

Aw RT, your the one who brought it up...
"Why ask useless questions? How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky? Who is John Galt?"
fortunately I have no opinion on the matter.

Vulture = bigger than a Vendetta
The Vendetta is just an upgunned version of the Valk. I talked to my local GW store leader and he is playing guard himself and alreadysaid that he will get the Vultures as they're better than the Vendettas arms wise

if it can have multi meltas and lascanons we could just bring it up first turn and melt a land raider and by moving 24 inches we will get a 4+ cover save so most incoming fire will miss

The Vendetta is a heavily armed valkrie with less transport space apparently. Possibly an idea for HQ's?

Inquisitor Deis' theory holds water, the GW website speaks of how you can upgrade the Valkyrie to a gunship version.

Okay. okay, sheesh ! This is the GW page ( www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?community=&catId=&categoryId=&pIndex=1&aId=13400001&start=2) on the new Valkyrie model, but i know i saw the vendetta listed somewhere...will attempt to find it, my quest! (Monty Python/Holy Grail music starts playing) EDIT: FW Valkyrie: www.forgeworld.co.uk/valkyrie.htm doesn't normally allow missile pods, and the GW site says its an upgrade. I believe I heard this from an employee at my local GW, who said an upgraded, gunship Valkyrie was called a Vendetta, not that it's a different model, the transport capacity just changes, or it might not, who knows

I agree with Sharps! In my opinion, IG are more likley than DH and WH to get an airstrike (they get an orbital bombardment, but hey, same concept . Now we can have 9 flyers armed with multi-rocket pods and lascannons carrying a total of 30 stormies with plasma guns and melta guns and Ap3 standard rifles! Even though I probably won't use all that many of them, I'm still psyked for the release!!!!
