Space Marines getting new vehicle: 40k Rumors

Currently it is rumored that the Space Marines are to get some kind of new vehicle. Some say a tank that is supposed to be in between a Land Raider and a Predator, but the most likely candidate is some kind of flier.

It is a completely new vehicle design, so it wont be the Storm Raven. Some suggested a plastic Thunderhawk, but GW has stated previously that they will not be cloning any more Forge World designs.

Thats it for the rumors!

Warhammer News: Ogre FAQ and a Few Rumors

The new Ogre Kingdoms FAQ is due out this week. Reported in the FAQ is that Iron fists do not allow you to put magic armor on your Butcher.

Also, Empire rumors are ramping up a bit. In the new Empire write up it seems that Mortars will be using the small template instead of the large blast. Thats a huge change for the Empire. But theres give and take.

Its also rumored that the pantheon of Warhammer gods will be available to the army. The Empire will be able to have a War Alter, Knights, and Warrior Priests dedicated to Morr, Sigmar, and other gods worshiped by humans in the Warhammer world.

Thats all ive got for now. Coming soon I will have my first battle report with Orcs vs Lizardmen. With the holiday season there hasnt been much news, but Im looking forward to the first of the year when companies start getting back on track with their release schedules!
