My wallet is dead, those Custodes things arent even out and I know I will be buying them.

When are the Phoenix Spears released ? One week after the FW event ?

Soon, I hope. I'm really looking forward to putting some on some of the new plastic Tartaros terminators for my Alpha Legion.

The custodes stuff looks epic, future purchase for sure; but all the custodes stuff just got eclipsed by this little gem on battlebunnies...

http://battlebunnies.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/weekly-progress-report-6112016.html

"Mechanicum Taghmata Transfer Sheet"

Maybe there'll be an "Ordo Reductor Transfer Sheet"? and a "Legio Cybernetica Transfer Sheet"? [sacrifices a tube of superglue, a NOS necron warrior, a GW cube of dice and a full pot of 'boltgun metal']

Oh look at that

I'm not going to lie - I thought that Custodes Contemptor was a Custodes Terminator!

This guy is it? I thought it was just a big terminator? Its Dread sized?

Look at the knee, for one thing. It's a Contemptor.

Bad Ass Custodes Contemptor...

I want those spears. Then I could make plastic palatine blades.

What's the mini behind him, to the left of his sword?

It's the FW event model for this year.

Long shot but I guess this is the right place to ask. Will FW ever be making a dominatrix model for the bugs?

He's a very nice model. One of my local 40k group was kind enough to pick him up for me at GenCon alongside The Unknown Ranger for Infinity.

Since the Caladius Hover Tank was for sale at the event, how much do they cost?

What is the exclusive model anyway?

Siege Breaker in Cataphractii Armor with Thunder Hammer and a Volkite Charger I think.

It'd make a kick-ass Deathwatch Contemptor, too. Just slap some =I= on it and off you go.

are there 3rd party phoenix spears? I need them for my termie sergeant and my palatine blade

They're coming out soon from FW, they were available at the event so I doubt they'll be long.

Yeah!. And it's exactly the right amount!

You could, but they have different style shields. I think the mkIII breacher shields are cooler.

Also, the arms would not match up either.

Those aren't Mk III shields. And Breachers come in 10+ per squad, so six shields won't cut it. Besides, I can get 10 shields off Shapeways for $19 instead of 6 shields for $28.

They existed during the Horus Heresy, and were used by MkIII-equipped Breachers. The arms don't match MkIII, but then you can barely see any of the arm between the shield and the shoulder pad anyway. The biggest issue is getting the rim of the MkIII shoulder pad to fit next to the shield. Price is of course a valid reason not to get them, the upgrade kit is frustratingly expensive.

Possibly a silly question, but are the "event only" figures available if you go to Warhammer World?

I think forgeworld was trying to subtly hint that you could get away with using their badab war boarding sheild upgrade set with the images in the black books - here's another..

The Ultramarines boarding shields coming out are that style too.

I don't think there is even an attempt at subtle! When it comes down to it, most of the equipment still used by Space Marines in the 41st Millennium was developed during the Great Crusade or Horus Heresy. Like the Mars pattern MkII Rhino, which was in limited use by the Legions in the late GC.

That they are, the snippets of fluff about unit markings and battle honours, and the short histories of the soldiers depicted are some of my favourite parts of the HH books!

Yeah, it certainly is, I didn't notice the Iron Warriors MkII Rhino on my first read-through of Book III for example.

Have the FW prices done a sneaky rise in the last few days?

There's Warhammer World exclusive stuff, and there's event exclusive stuff. I'm not sure if you can get the event exclusive stuff at WHW whenever.

I'm thinking about getting a couple of sets of Mor Deythan and/or Legion Scouts for making Deathwatch with Stalker pattern Boltguns.

Are they single piece or effectively single piece models? I can't find unbuilt photos and was wondering if anyone had experience with them.

So kinda/sorta posable on both but not crazy posable. Good to know.

Tiger Shark redesign. Apparently going to be released early next year. Found on Facebook in the Warhammer 40k: Tau Empire group. Yes, it makes both variants.

Hohoho, Santa Claus has been generous with the Greater Good.

From the same FB group, it seems that the AX-1-0 rail weapon is the same from Ta'unar.

I have the old ax1. Guess I'll need a new one too.

Yeah, I just don't like that the arms are Mk VII. I am going to pick up a bunch on Shapeways shields so I can still use the Mk III arms. I can put etched brass emblems on the plain shields(the ones with a cross will be for the Sergeants). Much better price. Unless I can figure out a way to get the arms in position so the boltgun can go through the gunport, they probably won't be holding the shield in front of them though.

Interesting, seems like less of an aesthetic change than the Barracuda. It's just unfortunate that a combo kit means it probably won't have the retractable drone rack like the original one, which was a pretty neat feature.

It's conceivable that they could make one designed to be used with magnets, but I don't know much about the feasility of that. Is the current one actually articulated (is that the right word? Slideable?)

 Verviedi wrote:

Yeah, it's like the drop-down missile bay on the old Barracuda. Slide it backwards to unlock it and then the whole section drops down.

Interesting. Will have to check that out. Thank you. Here's hoping that the new Tiger Shark does the same thing.

Well, here it is officially, with a bundle if you want it:

Using vouchers on digital orders is still Tech-heresy as far as I know.

The only technology sanctioned to be used in conjunction with the vouchers are telephones and fax-machines.

They allowed you to enter it last year. However, beware, if you enter the code before logging in, it'll mark the code as used and expire it! I fell for it and had to contact Forgeworld. Enter only when you are truly ready, logged in and want to order. Tricksy system...

Hmmm, I just placed an order last week... I wonder if they'd give me a voucher if I asked nicely?

Why is the macrocarid cheaper than the Triaros? I thought that it was basically a reskinned land raider, and the Tiraros was the smaller of the two transport options.

I don't know, and i'm not going to tempt them to raise the price again by complaining!

It has irked me a bit to see the triaros go from £88 to £92 while i waited for the macrocarid.

I still bought one, and a vultarax to go with the macrocarid.

You're really going to complain over a £2 difference on £90 models? And from what I've seen the Triaris is a bigger model, or at least longer.

It's not a complaint, it's bafflement.

Ooo, vouchers. Now to spend those 250 to get a free voucher that will force me to buy something else in january

Yeah, it's a trap

Post pics of your Vultarax when you build it, SirDonlad! Also, I had been reading your name as "Sir Donald" before typing it just now... bit of a different context if it were that these days

The Triarios is a larger transport- it has a transport capacity of 20. The Macrocarid Explorator has a capacity equivalent to a Land Raider.

Fair enough. When I assembled some myself the difference was almost undetectable on the actual model (the main aesthetic differences between the two armour marks on the arm are almost entirely obscured by the shield and shoulder pad). Have you got a link to the Shapeways shields though? They sound intriguing.

Sure - and i'll accept your vote in the race to be Prime-Minister of the UK with much gratitude!

Sometimes if you just call them to place the order they will give you free expedited shipping despite the amount spent. I have had great luck when phoning in orders.

Sorry if this is obvious, but given your US flag how are you calling in orders? Does the cost of the call not offset the savings?

1 Inch thinner, and IIRC, 1.5 inches longer.
Serves as amply proxy for a Macrocarid anyway, if you cba to buy a Landraider.

Great question.... Off to check my phone bill.

Aren't expensive international calls a thing of the past?

edit: Looked it up and no, it's still expensive as don't bypass the language barrier like this. Reds8n Well that's unfortunate.

These last two replies cracked me up

Everything's so connected now that it makes sense to assume this kind of thing will be easy to do cheaply in the future - for now I think you could do it with Skype or the like?

I've called them via Skype in the past. It wasn't free obviously, but it wasn't more than a few dollars I don't think?

I just realized that FW sneakily decided what a graviton imploder looks like - it's waaaay too big to be carried by a myrmidon destructor!!
It's supplied with the new Macrocarid..

Sigh I recently bought a Tigershark, specifically because the Barracuda disappeared but before the remakes where revealed. The entire body is somewhat warped so the cockpit doesnt really fit making assembly a hassle (which forgeworld usually already is) so I might get the new one as well, it does look good.

This Free Shipping Voucher seems poorly thought out. I can either

-spend £75 and pay for shipping to gain free next month or
-spend £250, get free express shipping and gain free postage next month.

First option means paying for shipping once anyway. I have never payed for shipping with FW and never intend to do so . Second option means spending a lot, leaving me no need to place another order next month.

(Who am I kidding? It's Christmas time and I end up choosing the second option anyway. It's a trap indeed.)

jullevi wrote:

This assumes that you're going to buy a £250 order in the near future. If you buy a £100 thing this month and a £50 thing in 2017 you're only spending £150 total, but you got free shipping on part of it. It's not the biggest discount ever, but you're still potentially saving money unless you're always making £250 orders.

Hmm, I'm not sure if the size is especially indicative of the size of weapon the Mymidons themselves would carry, only of the shape, although I think Mymidons probably could carry that anyway seeing as they can carry the huge Irad cleanser.

Take lascannons- the lascannons on a Land Raider sponson are massive compared to the lascannons carried by Space Marines, but they are the same weapon in stats.

Still want those spears. And scythes

really surprised they haven't released a BB pitch this weekend with future releases of 3d dugouts & even stands.

So phoenix spears and manreapers next week?

Here's a pic of some myrmidons with irradiation engines reclaiming a mauler pattern bolt-cannon.

Note how slim the irradiation engine is and consider that the macrocarid graviton imploder has a larger side-on profile and is also cylindrical.

I'll post another comparison pic when my first macrocarid arrives.

Regarding the free shipping voucher, this doesn't work out great if you live in Norway.

If you spend more than £ 250, then your package will be handled by UPS, they determine the added Norwegian VAT and handling fees on the day the package arrives to Norway. Then it's sent to you, and you receive a bill a couple of weeks later. The whole process takes about a week.

If you use the free shipping voucher, you'll receive the Royal Mail standard service, which is probably okay if you live in the UK or EU (or both ). If you live in Norway, however, this means the package is handled by the Norwegian Posten (the equivalent of Royal Mail in Norway). What follows is... a... lot... of... waiting...

Posten is notoriously bad and ill-suited for handling packages arriving from abroad. Calculating added VAT ought to be a simple task, which you'd expect they could do on the day of arrival, but that's not how Posten does things. What Posten actually does, is a complete mystery to me, but sometimes it takes them nearly two weeks to do it. That's a two week delay, right there, and if you live in Norway, you know what comes next. Not only is the flat handling fee expensive, at approx. £ 15, they charge you when you come to collect the package, almost as if they want to rub it in.

I'm not really sure what to think of this (or the Barracuda redesign, which i've only just found out about). There isn't anything necessarily wrong with them and there are plenty of great details added, but something about it overall just doesn't have quite the same feel as the previous ones to me. It's like it's lost some of the sleekness in some areas, mainly the engines now being fully forward facing and seeming to be thicker, it sort of makes it seem a bit lower tech looking. It's still an awesome model and it's great to see the Tau getting some 'new' stuff.

I like the new Barracuda way more, but I can barely tell the difference between these two mostly just the heavy railcannon from the Ta'unar and the Ion Blasters from the Barracuda.

Makes me want to see an updated Manta.

Makes me want them to re-release the Orca so I can do the Tau Air Assault army I've always wanted to do.

This just popped. Via FW bulletin.

If you were at the Warhammer 40,000 Open Days, you might have seen a new weapons system coming soon for the Deredeo pattern Dreadnought. Already blessed with some pretty powerful guns, this new Lascannon battery adds some vehicle-obliterating firepower to the Deredo’s armoury, take a look…


You may have seen on the Forge World Facebook page that the Warhammer Community is coming soon. There’ll be more on this later this week, but you’ll soon have a new destination for all of your Forge World news!

Come back later this week for more news!

I wonder if this means that from now on we'll have to visit that community website to catch all them news and bulletins/blogs will be gone.

Man I hope so. Having to scrounge between several forums/blogs/facebook groups to keep up is kind of annoying. Even the GW FB groups suck since they don't archive it and also I hate going on Facebook for anything other than Dogspotting.

There'll still be rumor sites for sure, though.

I got my Macrocarid!


And here's the graviton imploder/myrmidon destructor comparison as promised..


Everything got QC'd, i'm well impressed!

Looking good, thanks for the pics

That is pretty large. I reckon you could position it like the plasma mortar on the Thanatar automata and it would look pretty cool. I suspect that the version carried by Mymidons normally is smaller, but the same shape.

I am more looking forward to the Legion specific weapons being released at this point. Several converting opportunities await us!

That lascannon deredeo looks lush.

I see the Macrocarid comes with some handy defensive wall scenery attached to it...

Those are some big gates. Yikes.

What's different is the cockpit. Its a lot thinner now that it doesn't open for the internal details. That's why the rest of it looks so thick.

The cockpit is slightly different, but that is less because of the width of the cockpit and more because while the old version steps down a couple of narrow "terraces" towards the wings, on this one the gun mounts are dropped a level, which then rises for the intakes. Also, the engine blocks are far less swept back and slightly taller, and the wings are not quite as curved. And it looks like it has a pair of those defensive drones added. I quite like it. The old one has more of a Halo Covenant aesthetic, while the new one is clearly the same plane, but done in more of a Zeon look.

Here's the old one for comparison

Acastus Porphyrion is comming!!! Woooh yeah, finally! Oh my, I'm sooo excited, I won't be able to sleep now

With its two twin-linked Magna-lascannons

My pants got tighter.

I really hate this knight.
I agree, the new Tiger Shark seems lower tech looking, but it is still great.

About time! Maybe I'll forego the black books and instead get one of those.

Do we have a proper size comparison of this bad boy yet? I saw the original mock up, which was smaller than a Cerastus Knight, but a painted model looked way bigger than the ones next to it.

The painted model is presumably the final size.

That knight looks titan sized. Due to the lack of the base.

I want it.
The plastic knight paladin was an update of the old plastic epic version that drew a lot of influence from the warlord titan epic models (which is why the fw warlord now resembles the knight). The crusader ne was already taken for a knight, but this one is the a blend of the metal knight crusader kit with a lot of influences from the 28mm reaver titan.

got my copy of the new issue of WD today, and there's two page spread about Inferno, and the preamble of the article says that it's out this month:

"This month sees the release of the latest highly anticipated volume of Forge World's Horus Heresy series. The Horus Heresy Book VII - Inferno brings the war to Prospero. No matter where your loyalties lie, there's something in this weighty tome for you."

Here's a size comparison between the Macrocarid and Triaros:



In case you can't quite read the numbers:
Triaros Track length - 195mm / 7.74"
Triaros Total length - 240mm / 9.52"
Triaros Width - 98mm / 3.90"

Macro Track length - 156mm / 6.20"
Macro Total length - 185mm / 7.34"
Macro Width - 110mm / 4.36"

Yeah I believe inferno is out in December after reading white dwarf!!!! So excited about this!!!

do we know what the next primarch will be?

Sorry for the bad news, it's not, verified by the GW webteam on fb.

Looks like we're still on schedule for February 2017 then, IIRC.

The WD obviously went to print before FW had to delay the book.

A glimmer of hope, shattered by change.
Dammit Tzeentch!

Any news on the tau vs admech IA?

The last news was that it will come late - like around February or March (though that is just from memory - and I don't really want to go looking into all the old posts again)

It is frustrating for those of us wanting that book - but people are reporting it after most major FW events.

Holy gak, love that Knight!

I need one... or two... TWO. Definitely.

I hope we get more Household ranks for 30k, so I don't have to shoehorn this sucker into my already-filled Heavy slots.

Hilariously, I think it will be a solid Knight Aspirant, if they don't change the rules any. Reduced BS and 5+ Ion (on AV14) is worth it to save some points.

Can't. Wait.

I think I'm in love...

Probably they will make them require a Knight Seneschal or similar.

I still want a proper Baron suit; lance and battlecannon on one of the fast suits. Or even better a suit you can totally customise for your boss-man. I reckon sword+board+rockets would be super fun…

Em, wouldn't this be a LoW choice for 30k?

I'm not personally a fan of this configuration, but I think the "chassis" holds a lot of promise (just like I wasn't a huge fan of the early Cerastus knights but love the Atropos).

Nice to have the option for sure

Im with Mr_Rose.
A build your own baron would be ace and allow you to properly kit out the baron to suit your own army.

Im amazed that forgeworld have not been selling knight arms like they do with the larger titans.





However, this new armoured lump is what ive been waiting for.
However, after waiting soo long and seeing its size, im wondering if the £350 i set side will even cover it now.

Only hoping its rules make it of use.

As a stand-alone unit for a Space Marine force or something, sure. We're talking about the Knight List which lets you take Knight suits as every force org. slot though.

I'm not normally into Knights but that Plumpatron is looking good.

I doubt we will see it restricted to ranks. Maybe restricted as a 0-1 type slot. One per army maybe. I can live with that. And yea, I want to see a Praetor-equiv for Knights as you mention. Twin Gatling? Sure! Upgrade to Cerastus Chassis?! +35pt. Add to your Ion save?! Can do! +50!

Would really be nice, imo.

As stated, for some armies yes. But for a Questoris Knight army, it is based on the rank it is given as to where it fits into the FOC. And this thing in the Arbalester (Heavy) slot would be disgusting, but I am leaning towards Scion just for the points savings.

Worst restriction they can put on it is 0-1 per 2000 pts, as with the Atrapos, which is more than fair enough, given the rarity of the pattern.

And yes, this will be my new Arbalester for sure!

But.. but... I have two Styrix so comfy in that slot. Maybe it will be a Lord of War option for a Questoris army! Wouldn't that be amazing! Maybe with a custom Household rank to go with it. Obviously, doubtful... but a new book means new possibilities!

I'd rather not have to buy a new book and just download the rules from their site, thank you very much!

I'm already miffed that my Errant with Thunderstrike gauntlet and my Crusader with rapid-fire battlecannon are not allowed in the Questoris list, so please don't make me buy another book as well.

I'm getting one to finish my knight household - what a beast!

I like that rocket pod. I wonder if it would be possible to make it articulate?

Big fella shall be bought. Any ideas of what size he's gonna be yet. Seen a few different sizes from knight size all the way up to bigger than a warhound

Is there any inkling of price yet?

I don't know why having those resin hand rails make me nervous.

I want FW to do a Baron Knight too. The way the rules are currently they could just make alternate armor panels and call it a day.

FW seems to want to do more with Knights, but even releasing alternate heads didn't work out the way they originally wanted. We have three alternate Atrapos heads sold on their own or with an Atrapos, but the original idea was to release a mechanicum lancer, castigator, Acheron with those heads along with the Atrapos' armor panels in place of the standard panels. There is a dissonance between the creatives and business people. However I think this indicates a business side interest in approach like selling individual weapons over off-variant Knights.

I would love to see customizable Knights, it'd create some fun opportunities. A Cerastus Knight paladin would be interesting to see.

So close to the Fires of Cyraxus release next year. I have money saved for the book. Please release sooner Q1 than later.

That big guy. Woah, darn nice. Pity Im done with Knights for now :(

Sadly, no Knight, but instead..

Why do CGs have a CCW if both their other weapon options are specialist?
They can never get +1 attacks right?

That tanks shooting is fairly nasty. 60" str 7 TL at BS5 and heavy 3 rend? It'll hit nearly 100% of the time!

Help me out here, I can't figure what brand of deodorant that was made from.

I do love that the deodorant tank has had an £85 update, hahaha.

Looks like at least some will be held one handed so other arm presumably comes from original kit.

One of them is also terminator sized and fits onto resin terminator arms. It should also fit onto the cataphractii/tartaros power sword arms with some minor cutting.

Why would you put a phoenix spear on caterphractii?

Oh feth yeah we're getting Legion specific weapons now! I can finally create my own Asterion (as much as I love the model already). I'd just need to cut away most of the wing on the spear and find a spare Combi-Melta bit.

My power scythes...finally! May have to convert the hands, but yay!

^ You are my hero

Where do I get contestant forms?

Power spears look awesome. I just MIGHT order a BAC to make some Emprah's Children
My guess is that we will see the Knight on 12.09. So it would be shipped on 16th and arrive via UPS express (because it's obviously going to cost more than 250) just in time to be packed as an x-mas present I wouldn't mind seeing it next friday though

Who cares about these chump models?!?!?

Where?





Where is the Moritat?

No fing news about zthe knight?

While I like the Grav tank, it doesn't quite scream "40k" to me. Yes, I know this is meant for 30k, but I assume 40k rules will show up sooner or later. I can hardly find a 40k opponent, let alone one willing to play 30k.


I wonder how it would look to kit bash one. An old-school rhino hull for the center with Valkyrie engines on the sides, Valkyrie landing gear, Storm Raven turret on top armed with autocannons from the Hydra kit.

That is one sexy hunk of resin. I agree completely with you on those handrails, though. I foresee a lot of issues there.

Some of the alternate heads have been a little underwhelming at best, though. I did like the alternative armour/carapace panels, though - and I'd like to see more of that sort of thing.

bleh

So, awhile back i posted this on the Burning of Prospero rumors thread:

Also, according to him HH book 7 should be released some time before Christmas, but they plan to release Magnus (like with Russ) before then.

Which of course had several people replying with "Its not coming out till febuary" "wait till febuary" "games workshop said it wont come out till febuary" and so on.

But

Heres what it says on page 28 of the december white dwarf:

This month sees the release of the latest highly anticipated volume of Forge Worlds Horus Heresy series. The Horus Heresy: Book VII - Inferno brings war to Prospero. No Matter where your loyalties lie, there's something in this weighty tome for you.

It will contain Thousand Sons, Space Wolves and Talons of the Emperor, and will be out this month.


So, that leaves nothing else to say except

I WAS RIGHT!!!!!


Ember

I think they've already clarified this on Facebook as being correct at time of print, but this has been changed, so the book is still some time out.

Indeed they have, so calm down with the gloating there Ember! Still February.

In other news, I totally am getting one of those Custodes pimpmobiles. Those suckers look awesome and are basically the same thing as a frickin' Sicaran Battle Tank, only without the treads.

Oh I know, I thought this was how I was going to tote my Custodes around the battlefield. It does look like there will be a variant with a transport capacity, but it gives up the extremely awesome turret to get it.

The other variant is actually smaller, like a 1 man skimmer type thing. There'll probably be a transport at some point though.

I'm intrigued to see how GW and FW handle the Custodes line. They have a plastic infantry kit and are probably in the Imperial agents codex for 40k. Would GW leave them(and the SoS) at that and leave the rest for FW, or will they be getting more plastic kits from GW main?

Yeah, most of the images I saw didn't have any other models nearby for scale. But yeah, once I did a little more looking it is readily apparent.

Still, hopefully that tank gets 40K rules. Even if my Custodes don't get to ride around in it, it is still an awesome tank.

EDIT: What the what...?

Bit disappointing, but these are some good deals though, book 1-3 bundle in particular has a £55 discount, quite tempting as I still want those books.

And for anyone hoping for those House Vyronii decals, this was the most recent answer I got from FW.

Still no nostraman chainglaives yet, even though the 2 other weapon packs shown during the summer are available.

I'm going to wait one more week with the release of the Knight, after that I'll settle for getting it next year and instead just get those books, which have been on my list for quite some time now.

This is like the Crusade Imperialis red book and Solar Auxilia medics all over again.

not enough energy to read all the fluffy bits or carting even one of them around for gaming.

Feels like forever since there has been anything about the Fires of Cyraxus IA book.

Fires of Cyraxus should come out Q2 2017.

All of those were actually Alpharius, so his point still stands.

I meant loyal, all the traitor primarchs minus Magnus are out.

Will there be a pre-demon Magnus now that GW released the demon version?

I hope so.

Although the GW one would only require minor conversion to make it pre-heresy worthy. But it still would be nice to have a Russ v Magnus diorama, like they did with Ferrus Manus and Fulgrim

Uhhh, you seen how huge Daemon!Magnus is? Magnus was already a pretty hefty guy, even by primarch standards, but he was never almost as tall as a knight pre-ascension. Also, the bird legs would make conversion work really tricky even if he was the right size.

Nah. The sculptors work on whatever the hell they want. If Simon feels like sculpting Dorn, he'll fething do it.

Also, the guy responsible for most of the character series quit some time ago, hence why it has slowed down to a crawl.

Yes. He's next, or was last we heard anyway.

I've gone #FullHeresy. Just ordered 20 Mk.II and 20 Mk.III World Eater Pads, 5 Cataphractii WE pads, 10 of the bunny ear heads, 10 of the regular WE heads, and 10 WE torsos.

Of the 60 HH plastic Marines I have incoming I'll steal 5 of each to turn into Deathwatch Marines with Mk.II and III armour, and the rest'll become HH era World Eaters.

 BrookM wrote:

I cannot repeat often enough how much his depature hurt the character series ... I wish the guy who sculpted the AL character Dynat would do more

Honestly, I only really buy FW stuff now, I basically waited half a year for the plastic MK IVs in the single squad boxes to come out, then didn't buy a single one. BaC was good because I can now focus on buying single units for my HH armies instead of building those big tac blobs.

Was this posted yet? From the 30k sub-reddit.

Who/what is he meant to be?!

A cataphracti terminator (apothecary?) wearing a winter coat over his armour


Not sure I'm fond of that getup.

Primus Medicae in Cataphract armour. They're pushing a lot of these limited's at the moment...

Well, whoever he is, he's definitely a Death Guard marine. Looks like some sort of Destroyer squad variant of terminator.

It's strange. Looks like a heavy stubber in his right hand.

I'm not normally a marine guy but I like this one a lot.

Is this another in-store model? Really like him, has a bit of a WWI look to him.

I'm not sure if I want him because he's over the top odd, with the surgical apron on over Cataphractii plate, or because his Terminator sized Sterling SMG is just that cool.

Looks cool *sigh* Why do they keep doing these as exclusives instead of regular releases?

Cataphractii Primus Medicae! Very cool model. I desperately want to see this in Imperial Fist yellow or Iron Warriors chevrons.

What is up with the weapons though? Very interesting.

Looks like a needle pistol and the narthecium to me.

Maybe comes with special rules given the size though.

Will it be only available @ Games Workshop stores? Looks awesome though.

This guy looks awesome, shame he'll be limited, but I'll be getting one if I can help it.

I want one for completeness, but he has a lot more of the RT era styling than I prefer.

Ugh another marine without a helmet. Pass.

Unpainted pic. It's growing on me quite a lot, but I don't think I'll be able to get it on the 27th :(

Nice. Definitely picking one up now

Well, definitely a Narthecium from that angle! The stubber thing is still very indefinable though. Appears to have two barrels, I really don't think it is a Needle pistol.

The 27th of December is a Tuesday, bit of an odd day for release if it is a GW store exclusive.

It is probably the only time they are open over that window, what with Christmas and New Year.

The poster is in German. 24th is a Saturday and generally open only till noon. 25th and 26th are holidays.

Any idea on price?

I've gone #FullHeresy. Just ordered 20 Mk.II and 20 Mk.III World Eater Pads, 5 Cataphractii WE pads, 10 of the bunny ear heads, 10 of the regular WE heads, and 10 WE torsos.

Of the 60 HH plastic Marines I have incoming I'll steal 5 of each to turn into Deathwatch Marines with Mk.II and III armour, and the rest'll become HH era World Eaters.

Welcome to the XIIth Legion, brother!


I like the Primus model. I don't run and don't have plans to run one in Cataphractii armor (Gahlan Surlak is all I need), but maybe I'll pick this one up. Might be cool visually with a Butchers squad.

Wow, that model is horrible.

Welp i want one

looks bitchin

Yes!

I do wish it didn't have the apron/skirt/whatever though...

Hopefully the Head will be Seperate
A MK4 Helmet in its place would look awesome...

And his Weapon looks like an Oversized Grimdark Nailgun

Ill convert him to be my Preator w/ Drakaina and Chainfist-Style Paragon Blade

In 40k He will be An Alpha Legion Chaos Lord with Hydras Teeth (Combi-Bolter with Blast, Ignores Cover AND Poison 2+ for 15 Points? YES PLEASE)

I do seem to be in the minority... Maybe I need some bionic replacements or something because I'm just not seeing what would make anyone want to own that thing. I wouldn't have it if you paid me (well, I'd take it and sell it on so I had the money).

It's goofy looking.

I'm quite a fan, tho primus medicade in tartaros is better then cataphratti TBH. Still want him for completeness.

It's still a lot thicker than usual but not as bad as that standard bearer we got last time. Head and mouth guard are... different.

Ive not realy been fussed with the LE FW minis that they have had in GW up to now, but I will definately be finding a use for this guy.
I really like the look of this one !

Anyone able to get their mitts on one for sale pm me please.

Nothing's cooler than not being able to buy models to represent the basic standard units in the Codex because they're limited edition.

Soo, it's finally Friday! 12 more hours and we'll see whether we are getting the new Knight today! :OO

Meh. Unpainted I am still not a fan. The skirt and proportions make 8t look like fw made a new squat model, not a terminator. Guess I will skip it.

Maybe it's a Carnifex?

Unpainted pic. It's growing on me quite a lot, but I don't think I'll be able to get it on the 27th :(

I'm not a fan (at least for it in 40k/30k). It has a Khador Warmachine warcaster feel to me rather than something from the GW universe. I don't hate it though but simply don't like it either.

On the one hand, the stupid apron and weapons.

On the other, a Primus Medicae in Cataphractii without me having to convert one.

Don't understand the coat, would like to see a medic terminator without an unnecessary coat

It's not a bad model but personally I'm sad it's not Tartaros armor. I just finished a 10 man Tartaros squad and don't want to slow them down!

It's a good thing that he's wearing an apron, it would be a disaster if he got blood on his armour.

he somehow reminds me of the Malon from Star Trek Voyager

Jep, thinking of Khador Butcher as well... But still like it. I might grab one for my cabinet (depending on price ofc).

Alas, no Porphyrion, looks like it's a new year thing then, or something put up just before Christmas..

Gundabad Berserkers?

That's a strange way of spelling "Imperial Armour".

OK, I got it. They are keeping that Deredeo shield-thing for 12.16 release. *saltysaltysalty*

Breacher shields are nice, but finally getting Cataphractii shoulder pads would have been nicer.

What kind of email did FW send out, though?

New Ultramarines Breicher Seige Sqaud and [...]

Spellcheck disabled? I thought it was a fake mail at first.

Damn it Forge World. Don't sent out E-mails with ILLEGAL PROCEDURE as the subject.

..... that's pretty pisspoor isn't really eh ?

All 4 words of the product description wrong, that's quite something.

also : "vehcile " ..??

New spellings for trademark reasons.

Ooo, man, those are some really pathetic typos :O

Those chainglaives look like third party stuff. Weird they didn't give them more flair.

Also, mandatory "Where my decals at!" for this week.

I’ve been looking for boarding shields, and play Ultras. But the price on those for 5 still makes me cringe. I know FW is the land of sticker shock, but ouch.

So, looking at those typos, its safe to say they probably had their christmas party last night.

That is one hungover dude creating that overlay.

I know.....I wonder why they are Ultra branded? You would think they'd be smart enough to not limited themselves.

To be honest - if GW released a Space Hulk expansion with Hybrids vs Boarding shields I honestly couldn't reach for my wallet fast enough. As it is this lovely release misses me on both price and faction.

Because there's already generic ones?

Aren't there only 'official' MKIII ones though?

 Alpharius wrote:

There's the older Boarding Assault Upgrade Set as well.

To be fair - there's already Ultramarine ones with the Praetorian Breachers. I just think non-branded shields and swords would have been a better call.

Does that set play well with MKII, MKIV, MKV and MKVI too?

Praetorian Breachers? Do you mean Invictarus Suzerains? Also, only Ultramarines can give power swords to Breachers.

Mostly. One arm is hidden behind the shield and most of the MK arms can be posed to look OK. I did some Medusan Immortals with them - I'll see if I can dig them out and post photos.

Of. fething. Course. They release a 30K Breacher Upgrade kit and it is Ultramarine only. Not for the legions that use Breachers as their bread and butter (Imperial Fists and Iron Warriors). Yes, Ultramarines use Breachers and use then well, but the Imperial Fists Rite of War REQUIRES them. As in, your Compulsory Troops must be Breachers.

Man, I am glad that I decided to order my shields from Shapeways.

I'm sure they're going to release breacher shields for more legions, I would bet Imperial Fists among them. Why wouldn't they?

It would have been a lot better if they released a generic shield set first. Then EVERYONE is happy rather than 1/18 of the people.

You mean these?

Again though, those arms are too modern for Heresy-era armour.
