I think the thing most people are put off by with the khornmower is that the torso is so humanoid. All other daemon engines have animalistic design. From the crab-like defiler to the dragon-like heldrake, the gorilla-like maulerfiend to the rhino-like juggernaut.... where as this guy is basically a giant berzerker on wheels. That being said I really like it!

Not forgetting, of course, that we only have one picture. A picture that's a scan of a picture of one angle of one model, in the studios typically sub-optimum paint scheme. I have no doubt that many more people will like it in the flesh

That Khorne thing is literally the worst model I've seen from GW in years. Just. Awful.

I actually really like the Khorne engine...
I just wonder how they will handle Apoc this time around. If it is anything like the last edition then i will not be playing it.
Whats the use of massive models that you can only use if you agree to let every opponent use anything he might want to throw at it? Ive seen waaaay too many "Kill the big bad titan." lists for it to even be remotely entertaining to field one.

I kind of agree, I shouldnt be able to Guass-out 2 Superheavies in the same turn...

Don't worry, next month there will be more leaks and you can find something new to hate

I like it it will go nicely with my 88 berzerkers

I think I found the true inspiration for the Skulldozer, and it makes me like it even more!!!



Mega Man FTW!!!

Guts Dozer. I beat that sucker a lot in Mega Man 2.

I cant say I dislike the khorne blood/gore/skull knight (10 bucks its going to be called one of those) but I just wish it wasn't so khorny. I mean, just make a general, unmarked chaos titan thingy. If you get one, you could use any paintjob/conversion to show which god (if any) it is dedicated to. Making it specifically khorne means its not as appealing to other players like me who field Thousand Sons or others who have nurgle or slaanesh themed armies. Really, it is a well-detailed model, but it lacks versatility. Give me something that can look like its dedicated to any chaos god and you have my money. Give a khorne monstrosity and... well... those necron megaliths look cool.

If every army is getting an apoc unit - what are Eldar getting?
We've got our shiny new knight, but that is most definitely 40k.

What other eldar super heavies (in the fluff) are there?

Not counting phantoms, revenants, cobras, scorpions and everything else already available from FW.

I'm still hoping for a bright stallion....

Tempest Grav-tank, and possibly an "extra-large" Wave Serpent based on the original design that could carry thirty men.

The big tanks are:

Cobra and Scorpion - which FW already produces (The tempest is actually another name for the Scorpion)
Then there's the Void Spinner - a beefed up Night Spinner
Finally, there's the Storm Serpent which is a kind of mobile webway gate

Edit:
At a pinch, I suppose they could turn the Deathstalker Prism cannon into a super heavy - just think up-gunned Fire Prism

I suspect GW won't be offering any of those amazing boxes like they did last time when Apocalypse launched?

Well my wallet is hoping so anyway.

I'm keen for it, as I believe the painting and conversion opportunities that offers will be awesome. Buy base model, magnets etc and twerk it out, finna get one and do it up large

If you look on the inside cover art on the new eldar book there is a super heavy like the cobra/scorpion with Large Night Spinner Cannons, all the way to the right by the large pillar in foreground

If someone with great photoshop skills would just put nicholas cage's head on that sucker, we can finally agree to call it the Lord of War.

Lord of War was a great movie.


But on topic, I think we will get those deals (and special boxes) for Apocalypse 2: The Apocalypsing because GW had oodles of cash during that period and a lot of it was down to huge amounts of big box deals.

I mean, that "Space Marine Company" box was amazing. How could they not do that again? I mean, going on their track record it'd now be a half company (for the same price), but still!

There are definitely new Necron models coming some time soon. The regional director for GW came into the Dudley store for a meeting with the store manager the other day and since it was so quiet I could hear them chatting out the back, and they were discussing ' freeing up shelf space for the new Necron models'. Didn't hear anything about Khorne mind you, but I live in hope - I love Khorne!

Live in hope? We know there's at least one new Necron model, and a new Khorne model (the Khornemower!).

I still have mine. It was an amazing deal and has only gotten more so with the price hikes. At the time it was $450US (I think?), and the contents are currently worth about $860US at retail.

I actually wouldn't mind a Basilisk battery...

We bought four of the TAu suit set.

Haha I totally forgot about those sets, god damn they looked awesome, does anyone have a list of what they were? Forgotten most of em.

I would love for apoc 2.0 to see dread armies or some vanguard type sets, 30 wraith blades and 2 wraith lords.

About the new khorne thingy, we are only seeing one side of the model, it may well look better from different angles, and have better wargear than just what we see. It also may have interchangable heads, so lets not get away with ourselves until we see more of the model, because as I remember there was loads of hatred towards other grainy models of new releases e.g. plague drones, tau flyers, land speeder... wait a mo, people still don't like that.

I started up orks just a few weeks after they stopped making the Green Tide boxed set...

Oh for that and the leman russ boxed sets again.

From TheDarkGeneral, originally posted on Throne of Skulls and picked up by me on Warseer:

It's a dual kit approx size of baneblade box, but taller model. Makes either the Deathdealer or Lord of Battles.

Also there's a bunch of new data sheets, inlcuding some for those of us that bought multiple NEW models

It's also NOT the only Chaos models coming out, along with a few other Khorne...speedy guys...

Approx price is $125

More chaos, eh?

Oh, Khorne.

10 Leman Russ tanks for $275...mmmm, almost sorry I missed out on that one (I only buy GW from the FLGS anymore unless they just cannot get an item in). Now "worth" $495!

I honestly don´t see the problem. I have a file and some spare god symbols....

I did one of them as a soulgrinder conversion.

At least you dont have to fork out £70+ for a new model then.

Damn dont get me wrong, Khorne is the only true/valid god but I hope it really isnt just khorne and necron stuff. GIVE ME LOOOOOOOOOVVVVEE!

I hope they do the Apoc deals again......I am really gonna stock up
