How long before we see Chaos versions of the Mechnanicum? Really want a small force to go with my Titans but they are Chaos ones.

Those new mechanicum guys could easily be painted as Chaos, with a couple of CSM bits chucked on them.

Think I might give it a go.

Not a fan of the "playing aeroplanes" pose of a couple of them but that should be fixable. I like everything else other than the poses.

**reds8n**

lets add the whole thing

For some amongst the World Eaters Legion, the cost of their treachery upon the killing grounds of Isstvan III would be their sanity, each devolving into mindless frenzied savages beyond the control of all. Rather than ‘putting down’ such individuals as had happened in the past, the World Eaters Apothecaries had the mad subdued and chained for a far darker fate.

Each was bound within a customised Terminator suit created from recovered wargear and fashioned as both armour and as confinement; mechanised prison cells that could be immobilised with a remote signal. Hung in chains in the holds of the World Eaters warships, foaming and screaming in impotent rage, the Red Butchers were born.
The Red Butchers are a five man multi-part resin kit equipped with Cataphractii pattern Terminator armour and twin power axes. The squad leader, known as The Devoured, also comes with optional chainfists. These models, designed by Alfonso Giraldes are available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Friday January 31st. Remember, if you have any Free Standard Shipping vouchers remaining, you can use one to receive free standard shipping when you purchase this fantastic new release.

I like the style, but the posing is just ridiculous.

**d-usa**

Ninja'd...

**Alpharius**

That's what you get when you ask for 'dynamic posing'!

Strangely enough, it seems to hit the World Eaters' models more often than not too!

It doesn't help that they show these two together:

These models are gorgeous.

The posing was done by an 11 year old girl, sadly.

The painting is meh.

Spoiler:

**Bull0**

Aye, sorry, I'd have linked it more thoroughly but I'm at work, no time. I think the paint job isn't exciting and the models they've chosen to paint up are probably the worst poses of the lot. That leader with the chainfists would've been a smart bet to really sell the kit.

**reds8n**

No worries !

They do seem to have something of a cheer squad dance routine pose to them.

" Give us a B, give us an L give us an O " etc etc

Might well look better in "modern" World Eater colours.

**Medium of Death**

They'd look better in the same kind of Bronze that Angron's armour is done in. I'm also slightly miffed they haven't shown the sprue pictures like they normally do. Would make it easier to see if these could be saved.

**bubber**

I really don't like those Red Butchers - they look a bit goofy to me (& really fat!).

They haven't shown sprue pictures in a long time. I can't think of anything new in the last 2 years from FW that does. Shame, though. GW prime does it, and I appreciate that.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I like my terminators 'Vogue-ing' like Madonna

I'm sure they feel very glamorous.....

**H.B.M.C.**

I think they're unbelievably cool. I could do without the WE symbol on their foreheads, but the rest is just awesome.

That's the only real problem I have with them, apart from the silly posing and underwhelming paintjob. I might get some for my WE eventually.

**gorgon**

I think the Butchers are pretty hot.

I'm only barely resisting jumping into HH in a big way, and I'd definitely be playing WE.

**kronk**

Joking aside, as I said in my post, I like the models.

But painting and posing could have been much better.

The new admech stuff is cool.

Did FW ever get around to giving updated rules for Shadow Captain Korvydae? He was the only badab character not updated.

They have not.

He's also not a Badab War character.

Correct. He's in Imperial Armour Volume Eight - Raid on Kastorel-Novem,

**d-usa**

I emailed them about it and this was the answer:

We have not yet updated the rules for Korvydae but he is on our to do list. If you already have the rules for him from IA:8, they won't change a great deal part from the use of Raven Guard Chapter Tactics from the Space Marine Codex.

**Tannhauser42**

Just to address an issue from earlier regarding payment problems, I just placed an order with FW (more legion stuff, yay). First, my credit card was declined, tried my debit card (both are Mastercard) and that was also declined. Called up my bank (Capital One), and, yes, there was a security "feature" that was blocking the payment with the credit card. After I told them the name of the company and the approximate dollar amount, payment worked.

**Bobthehero**

That's a heck of a Vraks bundle there, you get a free book and then some.

**Medium of Death**

Do you think it's likely or necessary that the Vraks books will get a second edition?

I won't buy all three again.

Eventually, I wouldn't expect them to get a 2nd edition at the earliest after the new Guard codex, and probably not till sometime next year.

**sockwithaticket**

Some of those red butchers look like giant children running in for a hug or playing aeroplanes. The chainfist guy looks like he's just pulled something in his back mid-dance. Not a fan

Ha! Along the same lines, but my thoughts instantly went here for some reason..

**Lockark**

Almost looks like some of them got proto khorn symbols.

Would look better in red and brass imho. Doesnt help the paint job looks phoned in.
