Asterion Moloc and Chaplain Enkomi released as a two pack! http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/ASTERION_MOLOC_AND_IVANUS_ENKOMI_OF_THE_MINOTAURS.html



Oh, and Space Marines get the rapier: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/SPACE_MARINE_RAPIER_LASER_DESTROYER.html

No you didn't.

I like the new characters, the Terminator is particularly nice.

Wow.. those are pretty amazing

Oh, those types of Minotaurs!

Stupid 40k players taking our names and what not.... Got me all excited for a incredibly sexy terminator lord.....

I'm gonna have to have all of that. All of it.

Way to go FW!

Is it just me or does Asterion seem to be the perfect basis for a rather dynamic Belial conversion?

Very nice indeed - pre-ordering them now.

It looks very much as though Asterion Moloc's armour is intended to resemble a Heresy-era Terminator suit - perhaps a hint of something to which to look forward from FW?

Those are some great minis. Forgeworld does it again.

Refresh me on who Belial is. DA Chaplain IIRC?

I thought the same for a fraction of a minute, the realized it doesn't fit the DA aesthetic enough to me.

I'll stick to converting Culn models for my Belials(the only reason this sentence uses plural being that I forgot to magnetize him the first time I did it).

I'd say that's fairly doubtful. Their Terminators tend to look a little bit "different" to GW proper's, excepting Tyberos the Red Wake(who was originally a conversion of a standard GW Terminator by Will Hayes with some sculptwork). If you want to see a "hint" of what they'd do in terms of the Heresy-era Terminator suits, look at Hector Rex.

Space Marine rapiers? Sold!

And I'm glad of that. The GW plastic terminators are awful. No-one can stand with legs splayed that far apart - they look ridiculous

Who, incidentally, isn't actually wearing Terminator armor.

Pah, semantics.

Does a unit of artillery fire like a normal unit? IE do they all have to fire at the same target? So far that s the only part of the rules that I would change is allow each one to fire seprately (since both crew seem to have a targeter on their backpacks). I might have to order 3 either way. 8) Ohh and if you didnt go look at the FW sites pics, the chaplains crozus has a built in twinlinked boltpistol. So thats alot of CC weapons for one chaplain.

Words just cant explain how epic they are, damn if only they sold the heads seperatley, I would buy 100

i think you buy up to 3 and deploy them seperatly, but im not sure on that

I like the space marines from the Badab book, but I can't use them in my army with all of that Bull Iconography.

I love the Rapier and crew. Pretty bitchin. I'll use it as a thunderfire cannon with my group.

This pose cracks me up. "Dude. You should, like, totally shoot some of those guys over there, or something. Sweet..."

Photoshop the bases out, find the painted versions and place an explosion behind them.

Fethin' sexy.

Those are quite awesome. Just when I think in done with futuristic minis, they pull me back in again...

feth me.

These are sexy.

Irony meter destroyed.

Anywhoo...

I like these two characters, but they seem way too "Minotaur specific" to even consider getting for other uses.

Holy Mother! They're so awesome, I just went on and bought both sets despite the fact that I play exclusively Flesh Tearers. Oh, well! I can always pretend that my frothing maniacs have guests over for dinner!

These are good,

But £30 for two models.

Ouch.

Cheaper than the new medium-sized Failcast characters.

I'm not familiar with Failcast. I think you meant Finecast.

These prices are pretty high for 2 dudes...

I do what I can.

But the point I made still stands. Asterion isn't really mentioned as having a Terminator suit which might date back to the Heresy; nor anything about the Minotaurs suggesting it. The Hellenic look though does bring up echoes of the Heresy--which is likely intentional as if we look at most of the artwork it seems to have the Hellenic/Roman look to the wargear of the Astartes.

That said, I hadn't originally noticed the twin-linked Bolt Pistol on the Chaplain. It reminds me of one of those "bang sticks" you sometimes see divers carrying in shark waters (incidentally: I learned a new term today! The actual name is a "powerhead").

And of course the Rapier can't be used by Chaos. COme on FW, throw us a bone! (The decimator's a step in the right direction, just too fething expensive!)

I assume the price is meant to echo Huron's cost (which is 19 GBP) as he is the only other Terminator character they sell who includes a "scenic base" bit. The Chaplain likely, if sold by himself, would be in the 15-18 GBP bracket...so it's high, but not as high as it could be.
