Forgeworld has updated some of their experimental rules for theTau XV107 R'varna Battlesuit and Irillyth the Phoenix Lord of the Shadow Spectres. As well they have released the model and rules for the Achilles-Alpha pattern Land Raider for the Horus Heresy and the Kharybdis Assault Claw that is for the Horus Heresy and 40k (SM and CSM).

Its hard for me to remember the exact rules as they were before, but I do like Irillyths rules and the bonus's for nightfight. The same goes for the Tau XV107 suit. I know that there were complaints about both of them, Irillyth not being worth his points and the suit for being too strong. However, tournaments are coming up at Warhammer World, and these units are now usable in the Warriors Code ruleset.

The Droppod, Khardybdis Assault Claw is for both Chaos Space Marines and Space Marines, and takes up a Heavy Support Choice. Once again, this a 40k unit, and legal in GW tournaments. A great way to penetrate deep into territory where there could be a Super Heavy or Fortress.

Of course the Achilles-Alpha pattern Land Raider is for the Horus Heresy, and not approved for 40k. However the model is immune to melta and lance, making it extremely durable in 30k

The Achilles-Alpha pattern Land Raider is the most durable vehicle currently in the service of the Legiones Astartes. These vehicles shrug off weapon strikes that would cripple other battle tanks, and are proof against even the most toxic environment. The weaponry of these vehicles is formidable, featuring an advanced quad launcher and powerful volkite batteries.

The Achilles-Alpha pattern Land Raider model, designed by Stuart Williamson, is a complete multi-part resin and plastic kit that comes with the option of either twin-linked multi-meltas or twin-linked volkite culverins as sponson weapons. Used by the Space Marine Legions during the Heresy, the model can also be used to represent a standard Land Raider Achilles for Warhammer 40,000 when equipped with the multi-melta weapons.This model is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday January 31st.
