The Badab War IA9/Forgeworld at Baltimore 2010

The below from Neil Kerr commenting on BoLS. I don't know much about Neil, I think he's very active in the Grand Tournament scene and had good info in the past on Tyranids but I can't vouch for him as such.

Since its today I guess I can post this info:
Yes its Badab War, it will be in 2 books (both around the size of Tauros) and there are rules for ship fighting.
You have seen all the MK's of Power Armour and Weapons
What else?
New Red Scorp Librarian and Honour Guard
Huron Blackheart in Terminator Armour before his face got melted
Space Sharks, though they have been given a Greek name to sound less cheesy.
Loads of chapter specific shoulder pads (both power and terminator) including Mantis Warriors - which have been developed both fluff and rules wise (lots of scouts I believe).
I'm sure this will all come out today to back me up.

That's the full sized pic I'm afraid, but here's it cropped, blown up and enhanced slightly if you like.

Badab book 1 is Sep 27 I think the preorder said, book 2 will be Nov or Dec.

Forgeworld Inquisition/Sisters maybe late next year

Forgeworld Brass Etch- Salamanders, Flesh Tearers I remember.

Negative response to a female guard regiment, but maybe heads/conversions.

More Reaver Weapons planned when schedule permits, likely after the Eldar titan is done. Volcano Cannon at the top of the list.

Just got back from games day and thought I’d throw in what I remember

Ultramarines Movie seminar
Not too much here, Dan Abnett and (if I remember correctly) the head producer gave a few little details about the movie, nothing big. And did a Q&A

The trailer was ok for what it was (I’m still holding off my judgment until I see the movie), still not sure on who the enemy is going to be. But we do know that the Imperial Fists are in it in some way.

Black Library seminar
I went to the 2nd one myself, got to hear to Dan Abnett read from Prospero Burns, which seems like its going to an enjoyable book.
Next year we should start seeing the Bequin trilogy, as well as a book of short stories from the Eisenhorn, Ravenor series.

Forge World seminar
IA:9 will be Badab War part 1(the book should released sometime next month)
9 chapters will be featured in the first book
12 new Space Marine characters will be in the book (some of them will be getting models)
New transfer sheets and Etched Brass
New rules for boarding actions

IA:10 will be Badab War part 2 (their hoping to have it out by November –December)
The rest of the chapters (including the Space Sharks) to take part in the Badab War will be featured.
New Space Marine characters
New Space Marine siege army list
New rules for BFG (a small chance of a new model or 2, but unlikely)

IA:11 will be Eldar vs. Space Wolves, Cadians, and Elysians
Set to take place on an Ice World
Phantom Titan due out this year (maybe)
No solid info on what the Eldar will be getting, but we do know of small light skimmer, troop upgrade kits, and more then likely a super heavy
No news of what the Woves or guard will be getting.

A reprint of IA:1 (with updated rules) due out sometime next year.
IA: Masterclass vol. 2, out some time next year
A random Necron model has apparently been made
A new grot tank (The mega grot tank?) has been made and doesn’t look bad. Should be seeing it soon

Alright that’s all I remember off the top of my head, will add more if I think of it. Sorry if this is all old news by now, just got back and didn’t feel like reading the 8 pages to see what has been said.

As I understood their answers, they have no PLANS to sculpt more than Loth and Huron. However, based on their answers to that question, they do have expectations that they eventually will make a few more characters.

The poster art for IA9 is a great looking Dreadnought by Paul Bonner. The other side is a celestial map of the conflict.

They mentioned that there would not be Chaos or Renegade type stuff for Badab. Marines vs. Marines. Maybe that will change since IA10 is still being worked on.

IA9 has nine of the chapters (of 17), the Tyrant's Legion army list, and 12 special characters.

IA10 has the rest of the Chapters, more characters, the SM Siege List, and a Space Marine Technical Section, including new war machines (language directly from the presentation slide). They mentioned the Caestus will be in the second book, but the word war machines is definitely plural. Tony, with some audience pushing, agreed to consider a slipcase for the Badab war duo; similar to the slipcase Vraks got. Said it might add about $4 to the cost. The dread was still very WIP, but Tony called it a MkIV Ironclad design.

I'd love to see some Salamanders releases, so I hope they get a character and some pads/torsos as well as the transfer sheet.

As for IA11, they listed it after the IA1 redo, so I would not expect it in early 2011. More likely it'll be spring, summer or fall.

Lovely high res pics from our old mate Warboss Gubbinz, you can really make out the detail on Huron's back banner in this one (and can make out his hand inside the claw):

**Sparianos** · 23-08-2010, 17:40

I have much better pictures of the slide show FW did. Use our podcast site
www.chanceofgaming.com and the link for Gamesday Coverage.

Few things. Yes most chapters' iconography has been updated. The Astral Claws have a Lion/Cat Motif w/ silver and blue as colors. Fire Angels are Silver with red trim and Red Cross Motif. The Fire Hawks look amazing now with whitish armor and red-orange flame motifs. They acutally have a phoenix/fire hawk motif and it is beautiful. All bets are off from previous incarnations of the Badab chapters as Paul and Tony both reported that due to the 80s several of the marine groups needed modernization.

New Eldar Light Tank in the pics as well as the Super Grot Tank. 9 space marine chapters in the first Badab book and the rest in the second. The list in the first one is the Astral Claws force under Huron. BTW each space marine chapter gets a special character, but they reported that not all of them would be made.
