A whole host of new units, including Space Marine Warhammer 40K reinforcements and a new addition to the upcoming Old World game, have just been unveiled at the Nova Open event in Washington DC.
Even though the event is a bit smaller than the likes of Adepticon, there were plenty of announcements to kick off the Nova Open for everything from Warhammer 40K to the company's board games for 2 players (indeed, the only long-running title that didn't get a spotlight was the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game). Because a lot was revealed, I've broken down all of the best bits for you below.
The Emperor's finest snagged the bulk of reinforcements in the Nova Open reveals, and there are plenty of new units you can add to your army. Marching alongside a new Codex army book with 93 datasheets and seven complete detachments are multi-pose Terminators, new heroes, and revised versions of classic units. In other words, it's well timed if you're thinking about going beyond the Warhammer 40K starter sets.
I've listed the best bits here. Unfortunately, we don't have a price or release date for any of these - but it'll presumably be sometime in the Fall, if Warhammer's usual release cycle is anything to go by. Based on previous launches, they'll probably set you back roughly $60 / £40 each, too.
The only thing cooler than a Space Marine is a Space Marine with a jetpack slapped on the back. The newer Primaris Intercessor Marines get these for the first time here, allowing you to dart across the battlefield for head-to-head combat. Naturally, these are multi-part models with lots of different customization options.
A customizable captain is included in the box too, and he looks suitably epic with a flowing cape rippling in the wind behind him. Presumably while stirring, heroic music plays in the background.
The Terminators in the Leviathan box or starter sets are all good and well, but they can only be made in a single pose unless you break out the clippers, modeling putty, and spare parts for a conversion. That's finally being fixed with multi-pose miniatures that can be armed with everything from chain-fists to the wonderfully OTT shoulder-mounted missile launchers. They can be used with any Space Marine Chapter, so they're suitable no matter whether you run Ultramarines, Blood Angels, or something of your own creation.
You'll also be able to get those classic Chaplains in Terminator armor, along with a multi-pose Terminator Captain. These seem to be sold separately, but come with plenty of customization options.
Just note that the new kit doesn't include Terminator Assault options. At the time of writing, you'll need to stick with the older kit. (Or wait, because more will presumably land in the not-so-distant

When a small city abruptly parked all its buses to launch a publicly subsidized van service offering $1.50 trips anywhere in town, only one of its bus drivers — a big-city transplant — went along for the ride.

There are some things Googlers must never say in writing about Google, according to an old memo the US government dug up for its monopoly case.
For reasons I won't get into here because it may constitute a little bit of a spoiler, the planet Earth in Starfield is a bit of a wasteland. But what if it was The Wasteland—that is, the post-nuclear hellscape of Bethesda's other big sci-fi-ish game series, Fallout? In an interview with The Washington Post, creative director Todd Howard said developers actually gave thought to the idea.
You may have heard about a little space game called Starfield, the gravitational pull from which risks swallowing all games discourse for months and possibly years to come. Perhaps that's no surprise for a game that's been in development and hyped for as long as any title that I can remember (well, ones that have shipped anyway) but it's easy to forget now the thing's in our hands that it was subject to multiple delays along the way.

North Korean hackers targeted Russian diplomats and successfully breached a Russian aerospace research institute earlier this year, Microsoft Corp said in a blog post published Thursday.
Payday 3 comes with a laundry list of decisions that players will have to answer quickly when walking into the next job. Mask off or on? Creep around corners and avoid armed confrontation or bust in guns blazing? Engage in a hostage negotiation to buy some time or power through as quickly as possible? After 10 years and more than 200 updates since the Payday gang infiltrated Washington, DC, and after acquiring a few new associates along the way, the crew is picking up where they left off and heading to the greater New York City metropolitan area for Payday 3 — even crossing the Hudson River for a sting in New Jersey. They may have learned a few more tricks of the trade, but it’s up to the player to utilize them effectively. And, more often than not, going in with the goal of pulling off a job under the radar ends in reluctantly busting out guns. One false move is all it takes to blow it.
