Apparently Karnage was in GW recently and was told by a staffer that Deathstrikes are in the new IG Codex. There are also rumoured a new LR variant called the "Punisher" and a new Arty vehicle called the "Collusus".

Beaten to it lol. But as I said, some of these rumours seem to have been confirmed.

If that IS the plastic one, then someone at GW needs a pat on the back for it being a PERFECT replica of the resin one. I really hope it is, but I'm not convinced.

if that is the plastic valkyrie then i'm a happy bunny, though i do have to agree with digits that it is a very close copy of the forgeworld one and that i still can't see the financial side of bringing one out in plastic (and the stompa but i'm a miserable and tight old sod), good find though if its true though

Christ, and here's me thinking "hmmm, 5,000pts of guard is enough, maybe I'll stop now."
Clearly, it's not. 10,000pts is the way to go.
