40K RUMORS: Out with the Tantalus, In with the …

So the crazed fever pitched rumors are working overtime.  The latest Codex: Blood Angels chatter points to the appearance of the “Storm Harbinger”. This is the reported correct name for the flying transport used by the Sons of Sanguinius.  Here’s the latest we hear:

Storm Harbinger
Skimmer, Fast, Deep Strike, 1 Access point (front)
Front:13 Side:11 Rear:10 BS:4
Tantalus Assault Cannon System (R:18″ S:6 AP:4 Heavy:8, Rending, Pinning, Linked )
Transport Capacity:
16 models (Terminators/Jump pack troops/Servitors count double)
OR
5 bikes (attack bikes count double)
OR
1 dreadnought
Weapon Options:
Linked-flamer, linked-melta, linked-plasma, 1-2 hunter killers

Jump Pack Insertion: Jump Infantry may assault the turn they disembark, even if the vehicle deepstruck.

This is said to be a transport upgrade for many units.Costing is said to be on par with a IG Colossus.

~Now standard caveats apply everybody – especially the 2nd time around! No idea on the model’s looks, but this is now officialy tops on my list of most desired new models!  Come on Games Workshop, lets knock this one out of the park!  More Blood Angels stuff as we get it.
