Hmmm... Jervis has been and gone on the GW E-A Forum, but has yet to address this issue. ?I think this will end up being a classic case of the two areas of GW not talking to each other. ?
IMHO - You can bet that the FW designation Hyperios will end up being the official one because the model is already being advertised, and it's going to be easier to just change some text in the E-A draft rules and remove "Hunter."

Tas,
I'd put my money on your version of things.
Helios or Hunter, what does everyone think?
Shabbat Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

G/W will make the Hunter and F/W will make the Hyperios. ?
It follows their pattern, do the most illogical and uneccessary...
As long as the artist/model maker is happy. ?

The new hobby shop (funnily enough called Hobby Monkey) had a copy of "Imperial Armor - Update" (IA-Update) so I took a look through it.
One of the things I noticed (not in "IA - Update" though) was that the Black Library has a campaign history book coming out for Armageddon as well as the new Imperial Armor - Compilation book. It's massive.
Anyone seen it?
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

The Forge World NL shows some pages from the Imp. Armour book. Very cool...  ?
Is that the same book? ?
Sounds like it... ?

FW is coming out with the new Imperial Armor mega book so, yes, it's the same book.
If you look on the Black Library site, you can see previews of the new Armageddon History / Scenario book. It looks very cool.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

The local store has this book in and I was most UN-impressed. Based on their previous efforts I thought this book was not as good. I had thought to pick one up but did not once I looked through it.

That's interesting. I haven't seen the Armageddon history book yet in the flesh so to speak.
What were its' shortcomings?
Low production value?
Poor illustrations?
Lame fluff text?
Poor background?
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

And Jimbo pre-ordered the FW book this morning... expecting to get it in August, but it actually becomes available on the 1st of September.
I saw the only copy in the UK (the other is in the USA) and it is a really really nice book and well worth the ?45.

Excellent, as I really fancy getting this, just from the preview pages on FWs site, and what other infomation they released about it... Can you tell us a little about it from what you saw Jimbo...?
Cheers!

OK, now I am unsure if we are all talking about the same book. The book I saw this weekend and was looking forward to was the background book titled "Battle for Armageddon".
Here is the link:
http://www.blacklibrary.com/backgroundb ... eddon.html
Is this the "history" book you are talking about?
If so, then I stand by my words. I did not like this one. If not then I am sorry to have mislead you all.

O.K., the Forge World book is more about vehicles & equipment and the Black Library is more of a campaign book. ?Both reminded me of Osprey, Squadron/Signals publications. ?Both look good from what I saw. ?But I'll have to save up for them, after I save up for E-A ...

I did try and use quotes to make myself clear that I was talking about the ForgeWorld Imperial Armour Book - containing pictures, background information and rules for all the Imperial Guard vehicles (and flyers)
We were also discussing the new Black Library Armageddon History book. Have you seen that one as well?
|
I have also seen this, and I am with dafrca on this one, in my opinion it is not worth buying unless you really love fluff... there is almost no gaming material (from what I could see) within it - ie no rules, scenarios, background stuff, much more pictures, maps, stories...
