Warhammer 40K Tabletop Thread XLIII: "This Is A New LoW For Us All"

[Wraith]

The Horus Heresy is getting a new edition. They say it's still going to be based on the 7th edition 40k rules, though, so I guess we'll see where they would have gone with it if they hadn't done a total reset in 8th.

Wasn't it already 7th edition rules? Or was it more of a mix and I just assumed the rest of it fell into line?

How do you like them ... flea riders? I'm gonna say fleas. Giant mutant fleas, what a time to be alive!

Apparently they're called Dustback Helamites. '-Mite' as in 'dust mite', presumably.

The very last thing I was expecting - Ash Nomads were traditionally more Mad Max on motorcycles and with dune buggies, these look more like something out of Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal - but honestly, I think they're pretty cool.

I like the divergence - now that the Hive Gangs have Am-Bot and other automated minions, it feels suitable that the Ash Nomads have gone full on 'Tuskan Raiders' and use living mounts to set them apart. Neat.
