D'ya wonder if we'll get an answer to the question "Will the DH vehicle rules be the same as the RT vehicle rules"?

'Cause right now I don't know what's worse - waiting a year and a half to find out that they're the same, or waiting a year and a half to find out that they're completely different.

There are no female Space Marines. Don't believe me?

So enough with the Female Marine threads…

I don't see how two different sets of vehicle rules could be developed for games that use the same mechanics unless the DH devs and the RT devs are forbidden from speaking with each other.

I could see them doing it very easily. That's not to say they will, or even would, but I'd rather just know in advance. It would be a real pain to have the group playing one set of vehicle rules for over a year and then suddenly get a different one.

¿And what about Psykers, TechPriests and Sages?. No any book is about them

Maybe there is an Adeptus book coming out that will cover all three down the road.

I hope the adventure trilogy is aimed at Ascension level characters.

What about the Mechanicus, Psykers or Adepts? No love for our more mental individuals?

The nature of Fate makes it so either all actions are predeterminednone are. If it is the former then justice is a sham for all crimes were meant to happen. If it is the latter however it falls upon us all to take account for our actionshold others accountable for theirs.

Those who trust in Fate will fall to those who trust in themselves.

There's always 2012.

And you know already that the one we all want the most - Ad Mech - will be Q4 2012.

Actually, I like what they are doing and I'm glad they are doing in the order that they are. I think priests need that love most.

Where as Techpriests and Psykers need little additional attention really and of course any additional material helps a well connected or knowledgeable Adept.

Of course by the time everybody else has their new stuff they'll be wanting some too.

It will be interesting to see how many pages each book totals, and what the RRP will be for these.

The page count is comparable to the other supplements released by FFG. As for RRP, those are shown on the Knowledge is Power PDF, generally between $29-39, though I'm sure places like Amazon will be selling them for cheaper than that.

So the page count will be between 120-144 for the career and Ordo books, since these will sell for $40 (the 256-page books, like the Radical's Handbook and Ascension all trade for $50). I won't mind that page count if the books will be heavy on fluff and low on statistics and the like.

I figure the adventure books will follow the pattern of the Haarlock trilogy (60-70 pages for each).

Anyway, I'm really excited for these releases.

I'm actually quite the opposite on this point - i can get fluff for the 40k setting from many sources, but i can only get official rules and mechanics from FFG, so i want at least an even ratio if not more heavy on rules than fluff. Disciples Of The Dark Gods was very fluff heavy but detailed specific cluts in the Calixis sector so it was ok, so as long as the books contain Calixis specific, ie unique, information about their specific careers and fields of interest then i'll be a happy bunny.

They did it with Rogue Trader and Dark Heresy on the psy powers.

I assume however, that the vehicle rules for both (if not all three games) will be more an amalgam of the Vehicles Apocrypha from 2008 and the starship rules in Rogue Trader. A more trimmed and simple test system.

From reading the descriptions and the fluff it seems highly likely that we are getting....

Commissars and Ogryns! YAY ME!

Tanks.

Grey Knights (NPCs I am assuming, maybe some how to use as PCs with Death Watch side bars)

And so much more.

Course I am jonsing the most for the last release. The same as I was for Ascension when it was announced. Lets home my disappointment is lower this time.

That was a case of FFG coming up with something different from what Black Industries made. They didn't like it (for whatever reason) and made something different. It's not quite the same as developing two entirely different sets of vehicle rules simultaneously. It's possible that the rules might differ because of the different focus and scale of the games but I highly doubt that.

I think it was more of a better way to do Astropathic powers. Ive rarely seen (er read) in any of the novels of fluff a astropath getting any sort of perils of the warp.
