Empire Rumours

[EpicWarGamer]

As I have shown this in the 40k thread, I thought I would post my findings here. (You can see how its done in the 40k thread)

I found this picture on GW's site:



However, this is the one currently in use by the Empire:



Very interesting stuff. The product army landing naming convention may mean this is the next Army book release.

[pjschard]

your first picture is Ludwig Schwarzhelm, not a greatsword fyi

[Astraeos]

I doubt the Greatswords will be getting updated soon, the current plastics are really good models, despite their price.

[Caelas]

He's not saying greatswords are being updated...

[Miredorf]

Very nice epic =). The only bad thing about this is that im sure GW is going to take note and correct this slip for their future releases :P

[CaliforniaGamer]

Epic-
Nice catch..how on Earth did you find that?

Anyone else want to comment on the jpg tag change to "product_army_landing_intro"? This is first time I think someone has caught this and posted such in my experience.

[Miredorf]

A thread about it going on down in 40k rumours and dark angels =), this is where he 1st discovered about it.

[Kardon]

Both those art pictures are from the current army book. And the renaming of them is something anyone can do.. Not to spoil the fun of it but still

Who ever said it was a great sword.

[Tuttivillus]

well, it ain't Ludvig either.

[lbecks]

That picture is in the army book for the "Commanders of the Empire" entry. So no specific character.

But not everyone can post it on the GW site hidden in one of the "dead" links. Just read about it in the 40k forum. EpicWarGamer found it by digging in the GW site coding.

A good find

[Albrecht Hexenjaeger]

I'm surprised that nobody's put together the fact that if GW has been doing dual purpose kits, and there's all this talk about demigryphs, the rumored new griffon model can probably be built without wings as a lesser option...just sayin'.

[Mortogul]

Empire usually gets a new Army Book among the first Armies for Warhammer.

The only problem with this theory is that the demigryphs are, according to rumor, a unit entry, while the gryphon is a plastic character box with options for multiple riders, including Carl franz!

He is a specific character ... he has just not been introduced yet.

[Tancred II von Quenelles]

blazing sun char?

[Astraeos]

blazing sun char?

That could be cool.

[DivineVisitor]

He is a specific character ... he has just not been introduced yet.

Was wondering when we'd get another rumour
