I would say that you'd be very wise here.

I'm sure the OP has/had the best of intentions, but I don't think most. much even, of this is happening, at least not in the timeframe suggested. Especially things like the plastic T-Hawk.

That said I'd be amazed if GW didn't find another use, perhaps, for that swanky new largeer base they've put in with the Trygon and the Valkyrie.

There's often a big difference as well between seeing -- on a day when the design studio was closed for the Xmas holidays-- concept art and this leading to an imminent release. For example the concept and design work for the plastic baneblade was up and on display in the design studio for ove 1 year before that was finally released. And it's not uncommon for it to be 18 months or so from a 3 up or deign being finished and actual production starting of the model.

That said some of the claims about some of the DE stuff-- cylon raideresque jetbikes and so forth definately sounds true, tallies with snippets I and a few others here and there have seen over time too. Very much along the work and feel of the dark eldar as dedpicted in the 5th edition rulebook and in the Liber Chaotica -- which is where you'll see some of the design sketches for the new wyches.

I find it as annoying as everyone else that GW are so tight lipped about things... there is some, quiet, talk about this chnaging slightly -- witness the.. 3 or 4 month early announcement of the battle missions book, and those of you ( in the UK anyway) with a GW store will have seen the unreleased 5 or so Legion of the Damned on the instore computer terminals screen saver ( including the one with the damaged or open helm with the skull bit underneath) which should roll out later this year as well ( March again maybe ? ). And their long standing trick of hiding things in open sight -- bastions, landing pads, plastic satutues and so forth. But anything beyond the sequence of Beasts, Battle missions, Blood Angels and Ogres is dubious IMO.

Are Ogres confirmed now, then, reds8n?

The rest of the LotD will be released this February according to the blurb in the January WD.

actually it said they'd be shown in febuary not released.

Still, Beastmen, Blood Angels and Ogres are not really the releases at (or even near) the top of most people's wish lists.

Let us hope the Battle Missions releases and the latter part of 2010 will make up for this.

Agreed!

It IS odd, especially with all of the really depressing stuff we're hearing about the quality of the Beasts miniatures and army list...

I have a feeling that the "Plastic Greater Demon" would actually be the "Plastic Demon Prince" which they are sittin gon for reasons unknown.

As talked about before...

Huh. Great-looking LotD, but the skull on that last one looks more like an ornament than his real skull - eyelense, size etc...

Ohohoho, do I ever want me those left-handed freaks. Nice, bloody good show!

Being left-handed is actually a Cursed Founding thing

So why has one (on the left of reds8n's last pic) got a cracked open helmet reavealing a skull ??

I think this means they will be shown along with a release date (probably march) in the next months WD so im not sure if they will be realeased in February.

Every time I misread LotD, I get the same feeling.

I've just looked at the GW website. You can advance order the new Leiogenaires from today onwards. They will be shipped to you at the start of February (i was wrong!!!). Theyre at the bottom.

I saw it this way too. :(

It's too bad the regular marine models don't get poses as dynamic as those legion models.

2x different flamer marines for LoD ?

Seems i did well in rearming one with a melta.....

I dunno, I find that a variety of dynamic poses can be achieved with trivial conversion work. The Space Marine plastic line is really quite adaptable, especially once you start mixing in parts from Devastator and Assault Marine kits.

I really love the LOTD with the half skull and helmant. WOOT post 1k!!

I hate that you have to buy a Beaky guy for every non-Beaky guy you get. I don't like beaky helms! Stop forcing them on me!

Those new Legion models are really nice. I just don't see them getting bought, given how awful their rules are though :(

Well that and the price tag is what, $100 for a squad of 10?

I bet you'd get great resale value as there's a lot of beaky lovers out there...

the price tag is just the same as any other metal space marine model.

the price tag is just ridiculous.

Fixed your typo

Sweet. Dude. The new batch of Legion of the Damned is even better than the original batch, with new Sergeant being my favourite. It's a blessing that I don't actually play 40k. I can enjoy great models without having to worry about rules.

My sources give me a big 'negatory' on OK coming soon.
