I want to see this bloody art for the Elysian veterans. "Too Halo looking" is not Halo looking enough for my taste!

Hopefully, they'll look like the ODSTs from Reach. Image inside the spoiler.

They've been posted. http://www.warseer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5681800&postcount=72
Second one looks the best, I'd say. These guys could easily pass for Elysian Storm Troopers rather than veterans.

Um, HELL YES.

I'll take three veteran squads worth, I think.

Those are pretty nice.

Nice update Kroot, I love me some JG!

Liking the the veterans, not so keen on the new imperial guard vehicle ,not sure why just not a fan.

Is it me or do Forgeworld's releases seem more interesting than GW's main?

Looking forward to seeing the minis properly anyway. Thanks again

They are supposed to be; they are more "cutting edge" and experimental than the traditional line - the lower production costs (overall) enables them to do releases with a lower return on investment.

I don't want fething Halo of all things to mix with my Elysians damn it.

Huh? Where do you see Halo in all of this?

Skipped a few posts I see, read those and come back.

BrookM wrote:I don't want fething Halo of all things to mix with my Elysians damn it.

I don't think they'll end up being as 'blocky' as the concept art, and the Elysian gear as it stands now looks pretty similar to the UNSC Marines from Halo 2+3.

BrookM wrote:Skipped a few posts I see, read those and come back.

I saw the art. Aside from the helmets having visors (which all helmets will) and a few similar lines, they are totally different. The body armour is completely different and the existence of a pack is different as well as Mjolnir armour in Halo has no pack. Claiming that those designs are "too Halo" is really stretching.

Thanks for all the pics and rumours guys. This is better than Christmas.

Any concept art for Bran Redmaw? I know, I know, I should just be satisfied with Christmas. But now I want Santa to bring me an elf for a lap dance. Sue me.

Kroothawk wrote:Void Raven bomber art, and pictures for SSlyth and poisoner.
Void Raven is larger Razorwing, with two more engines, angular glass canopy in the nose, stubby Void Lances. Discussed frame breakdown, likely to end up on three tank sprues.

Poisoner is female, wearing a mix of armor plates and sort of a kimono.

Sslyth is snake like. No legs, sits on tail. 4 arms, with CC weapons. Crocodile like head.

Kroothawk wrote:Medusae and Ur-Ghul in cabinet. Medusae has 2 different complete head options. Got to discussing the Ur-Ghul. Jes explained that it originally came from a throwaway line about a temple of the Ur-ghul, and when asked what they were, they ended up being expanded into a race and unit entry. Also got to discussing Urghul skin, and how it is like shark skin. Some Archons like to wrap the hilts of their weapons with Ur-ghul leather.

Kroothawk wrote:As for Dark Eldar characters, I didn't see any pictures for them. Just the four court models and the Bomber. Two court models are already out, the next two may be in work.

I couldn't quite tell, from the description of pictures of these earlier (just concept sketches?) to this last line where he says that they "may be in work", how far along the 2 remaining DE court models are?

I wish I had a better idea if/when they're coming... I can't see myself (or anyone, really) buying the other two models to use in an actual court, rather than for other conversions, without the remaining two being released...

The concept art looks promising. I need some models to represent SM Scouts, but they need to look like they're equipped for EVA (pressurized suits). Unless they seriously mess them up, I will be buying a squad or two when they're released.

Great work!!!
Well as much as i find those minis really great lookin and all, just screw you FW...,screw you...

I take it you missed the part where Chaos can actually use those new Dreads/weapons, yes?

I'm wasn't talkin about the Comptetors, i was talking about Land Raiders variants...

And don't tell me"just convert one and use it bro" or something,because be it in FW authorised tournaments or even in my gaming group,you are not allowed to take stuffs from other army's,you only have what goes with your dex...

So once in a while in place of having again 8 Loyal SM variants,give chaos at least 1 or even 2,not exactly the same as those Ares and what not silly Marines LR,but real LR designed by Dark Mechanicus,with fitting rules!

They did a Chaos Reaver,how hard could it be to mae a new Chaos Land raider huh?...

Then use the Chaos stuff. There's plenty that's just as nice as Land Raiders. The Blood Slaughterer and Blight Drone come to mind.

Because the Dark Mechanicus isn't going around thinking "Hrmh, how can we make a variant Land Raider?", nor do they have access to the records of Mars like the Adeptus Mechanicus does--which is where these things keep being talked about as coming from.
The Dark Mechanicus is advancing and experimenting and making things like the Blood Slaughterer, Defiler, Blight Drones, etc.

The Dark Mechanicus didn't 'create' the Chaos Reaver.
The 'Chaos' Reaver is a standard Reaver, just corrupted over the ages it's been around.

With that out of the way, FW is running a poll on their Facebook page for what model should be posted later this week as a preview.
Choices are the Dark Eldar's Tantalus, the Skaven Brood Horror, the Praetor Armored Assault Launcher(and I think FW is still citing the meme, the tricksters), and Armmaneus Valthex.

the dark mechanicus didn't make the blood slaughterers, the world eaters legion did during the great crusade. not trying to be rude to you or anything but i thought the correct information should be posted

Not trying to be rude, but if you're going to try to correct someone...it helps to be correct yourself.

The first 'true' Blood Slaughterers were used by the World Eaters Legion during the Horus Heresy, thought to be a "savage outgrowth of the more common Dreadnought walker technology employed widely by the Space Marine Legions". They are a "dark fusion of technology and the touch of the Blood God Khorne"--which is a hallmark of the Dark Mechanicus, blending sorcery with technology.

My guess is, they are close. Jes never gives away exact release dates to obvious Warseer members, at least not if the boss reads Warseer

Exactly.

Besides, it’s not like any FW items are required to play 40K. This isn’t GW releasing yet another Marine product rather than making a Tervigon kit, this is FW releasing a bunch of new arms for its recently released Dread kit and adding another special character from their two big Marine books.

I mean, they’re releasing a Tech-Marine, some Dread arms, a new LR variant... and a new Guard Super-Heavy and several Dark Eldar vehicles. How can anyone complain about that really? I mean sure, I’d prefer resin Noise Marine and Thousand Sons conversion kits, but I’m hardly going to complain or say ‘screw you’ to FW for making cool models.

The only thing that FW should do is finish off the Ork story they started in IA8. Other than that they can do what they want and I’m happy.

Well said. But they did finish the IA8 storyline, in IA8. It was never going to be a multi-part book.

Actually...they had talked about it being a two parter, and the ending was clearly tacked on.

Talked, yeah. And in the intro they talk about going back to the other clans in a future book, not necessarily a part 2. They also originally intended Badab to be a standalone but I believe Alan Bligh said that it was his fault, he wrote too much, in that designer video.

Anyway back on-topic, regarding the guy who is so very angry about them not doing Chaos stuff... Mr Bedford refers to doing Slaanesh and Tzeentch in a future IA which sounds kinda cool. And oh look, an image of a Dark Eldar badass skimmer blade thing. Which is totally what it's called

I wish they would release non-marine stuff. Oh wait.

Kan you have exceeded your italics for the day! Cease and desist from all implications of tone!

MajorTom11 wrote:Kan you have exceeded your italics for the day! Cease and desist from all implications of tone!

Indeed.

Why would they release the heavy bolter arms for the contemptor at all? The only reason people own them for the regular dread is because it comes with the box. Unless the bolter pattern comes equipped with a significant decrease in points to put it better in line with a dakka pred at half its cost I can't imagine anyone will purchase one.

Well, I guess if it's four heavy bolters and not two twin linked. Even then though, thats not very good for what you're paying.

Neeeeeeeeeerds!

Used to allow pictures of concept art, but doesn't/can't anymore since other companies/individuals have used that art as a basis for knockoffs in the past. Especially unhappy with the argument that since his work is "derivative" that pirating the design is fair game.

Oh that is such crap. I'll need examples of other companies using his work for knockoffs due to concept art before I believe that.

I don't know if that's necessarily the case, but I do remember him flipping out over someone leaking concept art around the timeframe of the Eldar Codex.

He asked what I thought the next major internet complaint would be...

Implying that complaints on the internet lack any form of legitimacy.
