So I InHuman-BitZ-Box an online store from French posted a release date guess on his french facebook. Which can be found here . I translated the important stuff into english. I'm not 100% sure about if anything is true. It are just rumours!
November: Sisters of Battle => Codex? If not in the White Dwarf! + figures
December: ?? nothing I think
And let not forget the Summer of Flyers!!
January 2012 => Tau!?
February 2012 => ??2
2012 => Black Templar? Chaos Space Marine? Eldar? Warhammer 40 Edition 6?

the first real 6th edition codex: Codex Chaos Legions, really big release in three waves, doesn’t invalidate Codex Chaos Space Marines which gets extensive White Dwarf update as Codex Renegade Space Marines
Two starter sets, each with rules, dices, movement markers, mission booklet, one with Dark Angels and fitting scenery, the other with Black Legion and Chaos scenery. You can combine both to play the campaign or use one set alone to play a selection of dumbed down scenarios against every other force, first starter set that comes with a model for a well established special character
All codexes since Codex Tyranids were written with the new rules in mind, especially the new mission and reserve structure
So who else remembers the first Dawn of War game? A Real Time Strategy game that made lots of people start 40k! It also made me start the hobby.
The above video just makes you wanna kill some orks doesn't it?
The first Dawn of war gave us: Orks, Space Marine, Chaos Space Marines and Eldar Then we got Dawn of War: Winter Assault, Dawn of War: Dark Crusade and Dawn of War: Soul Storm.
Winter Assault brought: Imperial Guard
Dark Crusade: Tau Empire and Necrons
Soul Storm: Witch Hunters and Dark Eldar
Then came Dawn of War 2!
This game gave us the Tyranids! Eldar, Space Marines and Orcs to play with.
After that it was Chaos Rising! And of course that brought Chaos Marines in the game.
Retribution was on us after the chaos rised. You could play then Imperial Guard.
All these games where nice and gave a great feeling about the war that went on in the 40k universe!
Warhammer 40.000 Dark Millennium Online!
The massive multi online role playing game! The same thing like World Of Warcraft only this is in the 40k universe. Awesome right? Maybe you can play a Ork, a Templar or a khorne Bezerker? Let the video speak for it self:
Warhammer 40.000: Space Marine:
The game lets you be a Space Marine! You have to kill orks, Chaos and maybe tyranids?
I'm really waiting for this game. It would be awesome if they would make it also on the Wii.
Can you see yourself swing with the controller against a bunch of orks? Lovely idea!
Yes I have forgot the Warhammer Age Of Recoking online game, the fantasy RTS games. But thats not my kind of thing. I like 40k! And I'm about 90% sure I will stay playing, painting, converting 40k figures for a long time!
As Warflake40knoob is making a contest for his followers I joined the idea. "Make a post of your Favo model you have." The link of the post can be found here.
Currently my favourite Mini is this one:
Because he has 2 close hand combat weapons? Well maybe a bit yeah. The axe is made out of Space Wolves Frost Axe. The legs from Dark Angels upgrade box, Torso, chainsword and Head are from Chaos Space Marine box. The Shoulderpads + Jump pack are from the Death Company Squad. He is also one of the first Nurgle Angels I made so that makes him abit my favourite.
He joins his brothers in battle as a blood manic! I still have to make 2 other brother for him to complete the squad. Maybe an extra shooty bastard so they can team up.
So I made this weekend my Libby's for my Nurgle Angels. Also 2 squads of 5men. Another squad I didn't take pics of yet. But they all have the same Chaos Warrior helmet. But now the pics!
Libby 1
Libby 2
Yes the right one doesn't has a helmet. He's a Khorne Wolve!
Last night I got killed again by guardsmen and there tanks. Even against orks I'm having problems.
Time for a different approach
No more of this! Thats why I'm changing my list (again)! I'm scrapping Dante and his guard, Lemartes is scrapped also! I'm adding 2 librarians in replacement, a stormraven. This gonna be a big black/red bird. How is going to carry my Death company and there babysit (a normal chaplian) to the battle! Also instead of 2 priest I'm going for 3 priest! And extra Assault squad!
That makes my 1750 list something like that:
2 Libarians with jump packs
3 Sanguiary Priests with jump packs and power swords
1 Chaplain
1 Stormraven
9 Death Company with Power fist, Power weapon and Thunderhammer
3 squads of 10men with 2x Meltagun and Powerfist on the sergant
Yes you've read it good!Death Company on foot. With the Stormraven if will haven them dropped close to the enemy. And so I can still make use of them. I could put in extra dreadnought! But thats maybe for my 2000pts list? Atleast I think that! Libby will give cover saves. This should work better! I hope! 45 marines to kill! 10 foot slogging. Lets pray next month I get my first winning point in the Tale!
Santa Cruz Warhammer Death Company painted for Heroes of Armageddon
So yesterday I tried out a rusty look on a marine. He is one of the marines I made for fun.
Heavy bolter with a little conversion on the weapon. A dragonhead from the chaos vehicle upgrade sprue. This would be the look I would go for my Sanguairy Guard, Priests and Dante.
About the helmet eyes I'm not so sure.
I followed the rusted part metal from the tutorial made by Kaptirowski. Which he used on his Death Guard. Tutorial can be found here.
