Too early to say that the legs look like they are mechanical and not human? No way a human knee is going through a joint like that. I don't care to be honest. Just like the Mantic Enforcers, I am cool with the idea of cyber legs.

They look very good. Nice work guys

Crikey there'll be some amount of prep work cleaning all those parts! That said, purely from a sci fi point of view they are really pretty cool looking.

Kits like that, and I think we'll see GW going out of business soon enough.

Those soldiers are fantastic. Simply fantastic.

Why do you guys keep trying to sell us stuff that we ask for. You should learn from GW and sell us stuff that looks terrible and has less compatibility. Why listen to these nuts on the Internet? Don't you know the Internet is a fad that won't last?

I can only imagine the poses you could do for him - hanging out of a gunship door, fast-roping down from a gunship, even getting 2 of them to sit on the side doors of a gunship like a Little Bird, jumping over sandbags, firing majestically, a gunship giving him cover fire in the near distance....

All joking aside I think that's the most configurable mini from any manufacturer on the planet.

Agreed, although I would say only for the legs. The torsos look a little fixed (upper portion and abs don't seem to be rotated much in relation to each other in the assembled views) and most of the compliments are on the legs.

If the yet-to-be-seen-assembled arms are similar, though... wow. Could be a huge hit (assuming the price isn't insane- a multipack like they have for the zombies would be a good idea).

I am curious to see what kind of weapons they will get. Going by the quality of previous weapons w should be in for a treat!

My only issue... is that these are a fairly significan't departure from the standard marine. I understand why of course... if you make something this complex and comprehensive you want it to be distinctly yours & not just an altered version of something else. That being said... I don't think they'll mix well into a more standard force unless you set them aside for some special kind of troop so that the striking armor difference can be explained by special equipment or some such.

As a stand-alone force however... they'd be phenomenal.

A marine head and the iconic big marine type shoulder pads and it'll fit right in with the same aesthetic.

Are you kidding?!? of course you're not going to use these along regular SM - they'd make the normal PA look abysmal! Really, this stuff is great for stand-alone use - whole armies, if the price is right. Knowing PW, that'll probably be fine. (Hell, I still don't quite get how they can get away with the low pricing on those turrets All I'd need now is some regular machine gun weapons for that MKII turret and I'd be ordering 6 right away!)

Looks great

Yes and yes. it does look great, but IMO it is too fiddly, too many parts. However Im not in the market for IG type minis, so by all means do not take my opinion as typical.

I immediately thought of making them a team for Dreadball... you could make them in actual football poses!

With how beefy they look, I think they would make really good replacement SM Devestator's. I am hoping their Cyber Undead line of heads will match well with these guys as I have a cunning plan...

Ok well it's not that cunning, just stick the heads on them and voila!

These look totally ace. Give give give!

I'm actually kind of curious as to if those Egyptian-style helmets will fit...?

Me Too!

Those look a bit too much like Halo battlesuites for my taste. still nice to see some new stuff.

fixed that for you

Agreed . I just hope the arms and weapons measure up! Alternate torsos (since they'd be easy to make different options for) would be most welcome, too.

Well I bit the bullet and ordered 3 Thundercrows (or whatever he calls that fighter) in anticipation of the DA book and with consideration for the SM book. Hope he gets on building a large fusalage nose mounted machine gun bit to add to it.....hint hint....

Great, now I gotta ask PW if they'll make not-Spartan II helmets! XD




...Will you guys? Pretty please?

I was thinking along the same lines as this

Nice . Post up what you think once you've got your hands on them!

Will do. I'll probably put a review up on my blog. By then I should be writing again In fact, I've got a half dozen articles ready to go but have been to lazy to transfer any of my photos to my comp to upload....

Nice heads... But you know that what we really want is the bodies to go with them!

Hulk definitely want to hear about how you like the fighters, I might buy a pair to go with my gunships.

Sounds great! Yours is one of the few blogs I actually check once in a while

Those marines would make some idiotically cool troopers for Sedition Wars. Either actual powered armor, or just heavy armor, compared to the normal Vanguard troopers.

Or obviously for 40K some sort of carapace armored Imperial Guard. They are quite high tech for the norm, but that's just fine. They'll look different enough from standard Space Marines to not be confused (I really like the integrated "backpack"), and they aren't too far out of the realm of Imperial Guard possibility, if the Vitrian Dragoons from Gaunts Ghosts can have trenchcoats made from glass as mesh armor!

Harakoni Warhawks anyone?

I didn't even know he had one - I'll have to go give it a look now!
