I wouldnt mind a plastic warhound. I like the Lucius more, but a combined set would be cool

Seems I’m in the minority then. The Lucius would be an easier Pattern to convert to plastic I guess.

How do you figure?

It looks like "Boxy" is in the lead, much to my dismay!

But yes, ultimately IF we get a plastic Warhound it WILL be a boxy version because that is far easier to get into plastic...

Looks like I'm stuck with an overpriced resin version!!!

Yeah, so do I!

And by 'stuck with the resin version' I mean MAYBE someday I'll break down and buy the FW Mars variant - but I doubt I'll have that much available in the hobby fund.

Ever!

They are both cool, but the Mars looks... older. I like the Lucius Wolf more. The boxy look is appealing. And you could airdrop units on top.

The mars pattern warhound is well worth the money. Once you see the get the kit and see how many heavy resin parts it uses.

Don't get me wrong, lucius hounds are pretty cool. But then it's basically made from boxes - you can build one from folded paper and it looks much the same as the original. The Mars, however, just says to me "Check it out. I am the ultimate badass. State of the badass art. You do not want to feth with me." I think I'd prefer to see the lucius in plastic, though. That way the Mars would retain it's exclusive, more-badass-than-thou position as a top quality resin kit.

If i remember my classics right:

"Check it out. I am the ultimate badass. State of the badass art. You do not want to feth with me."

was said by the really skittish, overly macho-wannabe insecure guy who had to get smacked around by Ripley in the movie to even be effective... I do like the rounded look far more than the brick though

The Hive Tyrant (um i mean Alien Queen..) was much more badass

The Viletide: Daemons of Nurgle/Deathguard: 7400 pts
Disclples of the Dragon - Ad Mech - about 2000 pts
GSC - about 2000 Pts
Rhulic Mercs - um...many...
Circle Oroboros - 300 Pts or so

One of the customers at my local store said he recently took the tour of the GW studio and the person walked him past an area by mistake that is not normally included in the tour. The new fliers were on display, new SoB model and more. He said there's a flier for virtually every 40K army out there, which is the second time I've heard that now from two different sources. And I've heard the "summer of fliers" bit from yet another very reliable person too. Let's hope some of this cool new stuff is released sooner rather than later.
