New weapon variant for the Phantom Titan, a giant Runeblade

A new IG Tank with a Plasma Cannon.  This was called a Macharius Omega but the name is set to change.

Imperial Armour Volume 12 is called The Morros Incident (several gags about Morris Dancing at this point)
Set on a Prison Planet with a subterranean labyrinth prison.
Will feature Penal Legion,
Minotaurs space marine chapter (Minotaurs in a Labyrinth? Go figure)
Tzeentch

More SM vehicle variants and chaos dreads

Dark Eldar are not likely to get anything more for a while as they take a really long time to make though a Thunderhawk sized barge has been mentioned as in the pipeline.

Cheers

P.S. as any questions and I’ll do my best to remember sorry for the lack of pictures.

Hashut’s Blessing:

I love the fact that Tzeentcch is going to get some attention. Gw focuses so heavily on Khorne and FW always enjoy Nurgle, there’s never any love for Tzeentch and Slaanesh (but Slaanesh loves itself, so it’s okay :wink: ).

The rest of the stuff is fairly meh for me, personally, but I’m sure it’ll excite others!

Regarding minotaurs chapter, people have been known to discuss making Chaos squats using their colour scheme and style - Space Chaos Dwarfs of maze-y bullness.

aka_mythos:

I hope the Tzeentch daemon engine is as cool as the other two… the Blight Drone and Blood Slaughterer were excellent and I hope they can keep up the quality of those with the Tzeentch one. I want to see a more robotic vulture like Doomwing.
