Classic mode sounds interesting, though isn't that what RO2 was in the first place?

Action mode on the other hand sounds like an abomination of everything RO is supposed to be, and will probably inevitably eclipse the proper way to play by nature of being easier.

Said flyers rumors. http://www.belloflos...-up-in-sky.html

Yeah, sketches, but bear in mind these are the same guys that leaked sketches and word of the Necron second wave models that came this month in the same fashion as this preview. In the actual podcast(or maybe it was elsewhere) there's speculation that with flyers 6th will have rules that differentiate them from regular skimmers properly, so rules changes might make them more survivable than they currently appear.

I like the look of the Storm Talon, I think I might have to pick one up. The deepstrike tagalong is pretty cool too.

Edit: Seriously, are tags generally disabled? Oh, but when I just paste a url in...

Speaking of rumors...

Big talk about flyers from the guys mentioned here

Guess we'll see if they're full of it tonight.

Edit: apparently it won't let me make a link....

Are those actual leaked values or just guesses? I think AP4 chain weapons beating armor on everything that's not wearing power armor is probably a bit much and favors things like Assault marines a little too much, especially when marines are wounding most of those guys on a 3. Granted even AP5 chainswords would be shredding up guard...

Edit

Though on further thinking maybe that kind of boost for ASM wouldn't be so bad. Their biggest problem as what is ostensibly a CC unit is their piddly number of attacks, as they're still 1 base will have at most 3 on a charge if they're all pistol and chainsword. They'd still be just as iffy against marine equivalent units, but they might be worth taking if they were capable of carving through just about everything else...

Rumors are still all over the place. It's looking more and more likely that the next closest big things for 40k are Chaos and 6th Edition(a bunch more specific rumors flying around about both today), but beyond that it gets hazy. Flyer rumors again, like last year. Though GW has announced some sort of party for a 'secret release' on June...2nd? can't remember the exact date, but it's apparently on their facebook page, that might be it.

Dark Angels are probably coming up soonish too, what with the White Dwarf spines, and them taking the place of Ultramarines in the new painting starter boxes. But there are conflicting rumors that we'll see Chaos, DA and Tau codices, in that order, this year, or that we're only going to get a new Chaos one. About the only stuff you could maybe say for certain are 6th ed and Chaos.

On the specific 6th ed rumors that are floating around, I like the idea of close combat weapons all having AP now, rather than either ignoring or granting an armor save. It never made sense to me that, after confirming a wound, a guardsman/eldar/tau smacking someone with the butt of their gun had just as much chance of getting through someone's armor as a chainsword...
