Genestealer cultists are fucking nasty. Their lore is gross.

Tyranidasaurus Rex?
Rip and tear, Terminator armor is always paper in comparison to Genestealers. Sometimes spaceship doors are completely invulnerable to them, in some lore, though.

It's the tiny arms. Now sure how Bonesabres are being used in those gimpy little things. Looks like it should be a Zoanthrope or something.

They have a unit coming that matches the size of an Eldar Wrathknight. Rumor is that rules will allow more Carnifex models on the table too. Pretty cool if true.
I have 3 armies: Eldar, Blood Angels, and Tyranids. I love em all!
Because with Rending, a roll of 6 to wound is AP2, dawg.
Deathwing in space hulks FPS anyone?

Can rending units still shred through tanks?

I'm a junky...
Space Marines (Salamanders)
Space Wolves
Tyranids
Orks
Sisters of Battle
Imperial Guard (this started out as inducted troops in the old Witch Hunters codex)
My tyranids haven't seen play in a long time though. In fact many of my big beasties are still unassembled. Here's hoping the new book gives me a reason to actually dust them off.
That model was supposed to have retractable bone swords or something like that.

Genestealers had fantastic background. The way they would infiltrate a world and create hybrids and purebloods and slowly exert influence over a world was great stuff. The Patriarch would get swollen and fat with psychic energy the larger his brood became. Eventually he became a beacan to the Hive Fleets, letting them know a world had been subverted and it was ripe for the taking.
The whole cult angle was great from a lore and RP perspective. I ran a genestealer cult in Necromunda!

Closing the shutters ain't gonna save you from genestealers!
Needs more robes. And the bolter barrel needs modelling better.
But still, a good FPS Space Hulk would be ace.

Too bad 2013 Space Hulk is poop.
Edit: Wait, this is being made by a different team. There's still hope!

Steel Cobras
As a note, those are all rumors and rumors this early typically don't pan out. The two exceptions were posters named Harry and Hastings, but both have retired from 40k rumors.
I was guessing Steel Something or Something Snakes. So close. Thanks.

Think I'll give Independent Characters a go next then, cheers guys!
I really miss the both of them.
I'm considering ordering some Eldar or Tau to assemble and paint up, or maybe I'll go for some other cheaper game, I don't know, I just really want to paint something.

You won't get a better deal than Warhammer 40,000: Dark Vengeance. Great minis, and lots of them! Only $100.

An open-world RPG set in the 40k universe would be sublime.
So do I. Both were so reliable, you always knew they had something solid when they spoke about any rumor.
His last schedule information will come to an end in 2014
So basically he's been spot on... Tau -> Eldar -> SM -> Orks or Nids next, since he didn't say where to move the Orks.
As for cheapness, there's a number of alternatives out there for 40k models from Russian and China, if you don't mind what it implies.

An open galaxy RPG would be even better. Teraflop of data? Sure. But who cares? It's WH40K!!

These guys are riding wolves. My God. That's awesome.

How could wolf-mounts possibly be controversial?!
I've never played a tabletop game but I remember wanting a Warhammer fantasy set so bad back in the day. Honestly, looking back I'm kind of glad I never got my hands on one, but the interest is still there. If I was looking for something with gameplay similar to the TT games (either 40K or fantasy), do I have any videogame options? I realize that a big part is building, painting, and maintaining an army (as well as the social aspect), but I'd like to get a feel for what actually playing it would be like.
Well Warhammer: Mark of Chaos isn't the greatest RTS out there but it's enjoyable enough and you build an army like you would do for the tabletop version with you choosing your army, colour scheme and points limit.
Didn't help at all that the very first wolf mounted model was basically Prancing Dandy the Wolf.
It's a really funny site (sometimes), but linking it here feels like putting your head in a lion's mouth.
The Emperor's finest
Not according to Prospero Burns. -_-
Spoilers:
Last night I got to the part where the narrator asks the Wolves why they're not angry that Russ was passed over for Warmaster and they responded with something like, "he's the Emperor's executioner, not his heir." If Russ was executioner, I don't want to know what Curze, Angron or Perturabo were.
^What did Uber Aemos say when he was captured by the Fourth Legion?
ikr, no one does unintentional humor like 40K.
Curze gets even better, btw. His first name is Conrad and he's from the planet Nostramo. That planet existed in perpetual darkness, both literally in that it was night almost 24 hours a day, and that the inhabitants were criminals, monsters, and otherwise debased people.
Most perturbatory.

General Horus Heresy Spoilers:
The new line from the HH books is that Russ & The Space Wolves were created as a sort of executioners to deal with other legions. They're sent after the World Eaters in another HH book and it's hinted more than a few times that they dealt with the missing Legions as well.
They've got the brutality of the World Eater's & Night Lords but Russ is actually loyal to the Emprah and does what he's told.

Finished the Dawn of War 2 campaign the other day.
By the end I had everyone in Terminator armor basically wrecking everything.
Now I'm going through Chaos Rising and it's pretty good so far.
Only thing that annoys me sometimes is I'll attack move a group and sometimes melee units will kill what ever they are attacking then just shoot at enemies with their bolters instead of engaging in melee. And ranged units will sometimes stop and not attack until ordered again.
Other than that it's as fun as I remember.

It's cool that some of the traitor / loyalist legions are reflections of one another, but not all of them had to be that way. I'm waiting for El'Jonson to have a twin brother by the end of this.
Since we're on the topic of Horus Heresy era Space Wolves, they seem awfully superstitious for the heyday of the Imperial Truth. Wyrds, ghosts, afterlife, etc.
Yeah they never really leave Fenris behind, their weird tribal culture just moves up with them when they become Marines. I suppose it's why they never bothered giving Roboute Guilliman's Codex Astartes a second glance and have just done their own thing for thousands of years.
