I;m sure that they'd then increase the armor save to 2+, the Toughness to 5 and maybe add in 2 wounds for good measure.

None of that is happening, and neither is 'Official TS Marines" from GW.

If there was a new starter box, I would personally guess that it would be Eldar vs Chaos marines.

I remember jes goodwin and gw saying marines are 7 feet tall out of armour and 8 feet tall in armour....several novels from black library state this too.....termies were larger.....

when you consider the models have gotten a tad bigger with each new redo since rogue trader era to now, and more detailed, and GW is always redoing rulebooks and codexes and re-releasing models....take a look at the 1st land raider look & size and compare to new one, look at old rhino and newest rhino, look at dreads from 1st version to now. All the old models are smaller compared to most recent versions...

GW wants money, and they continually update rulebooks, codexes, add new kits, etc...

If space marines & csms newer models come out and are just 2mm taller & wider, they'll look more to scale compared to humans....

I'm sure someday this will happen if it means more money for Games Workshop.....

IF Space Marines are a MERE seven foot tall then I know people who are bigger and probably bulkier than Space Marines. Which just seems WRONG.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here...

Anyway, 7+ feet tall and appropriately 'big' is quite intimidating in person, never mind in power armor!

Think Shaquille O'Neal in armor - that would be large, and in charge!

I don't know if this was mentioned, but if larger miniatures were indeed seen, and for the sake of argument lets say they were, I'll bet they are sculpting 'one -up's'. Perhaps 1.5 times normal proof before casting/molding.

I've never seen a one-up in the industry, more often I see 'three-up's'.

Lol that's not TrueScale you saw. It's GW's 1 Ups.

MightyGodzilla wrote:Lol that's not TrueScale you saw. It's GW's 1 Ups.

1 up? Really dude?

GW does 3 ups.... 3x the size when creating models....


also, here is a pic of old eldar and new eldar size comparisons....Models are getting tad larger and more detailed.....

That's not a size comparison. Look at the bases. Both models are on 25mm. The new warriors are slightly bigger, but not Ogryns.

got it right off gw site...

Yes...but LOOK at the bases. The new DE is zoomed in to show detail. The bases are BOTH 25mm bases.

Yeah, this picture has been up before, and was debunked back then as well.
It´s a bad angle at a screen showing the models next to each other...

I was talking to the GW manager in regards to this post, who had told me about "a tad larger csm" back in GW HQ (the reason I started this post)....he said something about it might have been a "citadel finecast" model. (Huh?) GW is apparently re-releasing old metal minis (120 so far) into resin and also making a new "collectors" range in resin minis like fW now. He said it might have also been a new FW hero model, and that is why it might haver been a bit larger then the regular plastic marine it was next too.....

"Citadel Fine Cast" is apparently what the model range will be called when the metal mins are re-released in resin.

This is according to a stock update email from Bitz & Kitz.

I reallyhope there will be chaos, and hopefully more plastic kits for raptors, obliterators, dreadnoughts, and chaos LR variants

News from the GW site

Hope So

Bloody hope not i just started CSM and my collection is steadily growing, dont want to have to replace them all as i have bought the world eaters kits of Forgeworld to convert normal marines!

Don't sweat it mate, since FW & GW are one & the same now, I don't think they will release the same item FW made.... They took 120 old metal minis and recast, with better detail, in resin...

He said that he has been gathering a lot of information over the years and slowly giving it to friends to get past GW's cone of silence.

It's okay, hes a jerk so even if he gets fired and blacklisted I got all the info I needed already (hes such a loudmouth over vent).

Basically he gave me early pictures of the new box set and the sisters/csm codex due out a few months before the main starter set.

Ill upload all pictures to a public site after I finish putting his name as a watermark on them

Oh god, I have to answer this post.

Really... No you won't, liar, because:

A.) You don't have any pics to upload because there are none. The manager wouldn't have them to begin with, nor would he give them to you in the first place, even if he did have any.

B.) The manager's name at the Chicago Battle Bunker isn't Leroy Jenkins and the worst part is that was easily searchable on GW's own website, genius. There has not been a Leroy Jenkins at the Chicago Battle Bunker, neither as a a manager nor a red shirt in the 4 years I've been going to the bunker on a regular basis (3+ days a week).

C.)There is no Egg Lane in the Chicagoland area. (couldn't be bothered to use an actual Chicago street for this tripe, huh?)

D.) There is no suburb named Blackrock in the Chicagoland area. (Apparently you couldn't be assed to try to use a real suburb either.)

E.) I know for a FACT he would have never told you anything such as this, because his info on anything forthcoming is about the same, if not less than ours. I've been friends with the Bunker staff for 4 years now and I know none of them would do anything like what you claim. I'm quite well known at the Bunker by most of the customers and know the Staff quite well.

F.) The only jerk I see in this equation is you, . Trying to get someone fired when they have not done anything to deserve it is not only low, but speaks that you yourself are a pile of . Do us a favor and don't come back to the Bunker. We the customers don't need you, as you have proven yourself to be a liar by your post, and I'm pretty sure that once he finds out who you are, you'll be banned from the store, if you aren't already. I'm also sure that he does not want your business anymore after this.

So what happened? Did he catch you cheating in games in the store and ban you? Were you stealing product?

You're a lowlife and disgust me to no end.

Now, I recently had a speculative discussion with a few people on the issue you describe. However, I am not, nor have never been, an employee of GW. We never discussed any potential pics at any time of any product. Our discussion was speculative ONLY. I have never received any information from any employee of GW, and based my speculations on what made sense and what people seem to want in the new codexes.

This unfortunately also means I have a damn good idea of who you are and I WILL discuss that with the manager in the morning when I go into the store. Post this anywhere else and I will shoot these lies down there too, as I am also a member of most other boards like this one.

Mods, I'm sorry if I broke any board rules, but these salacious allegations had to be answered and put down as the lies they were, as the Battle Bunker manager's job could have been at stake if they had gone unanswered. GW does read such forums as these. I am at your mercy, and will accept graciously whatever punishment for this post that you see fit.

Doesn't matter if he was joking or not. It was a thing to post. It could get that manager fired, whether it's true or not.

The manager in question is a member of DakkaDakka and saw the jerk's post and was freaking out earlier about possibly losing his job.

So yeah, it's not funny to him.

It was a bleedingly obvious sarcastic post making fun of the OP for basically doing that exact same thing to a real person, rather than an abstraction of some internet personality.

Cool your jets man. Maybe try looking up Leeroy Jenkins on youtube?

I'm familiar with the Youtube crap.

However, that post just made the actual manager have to go through god knows how many hoops to straighten this out with the company. He now has to call his regional and have a meeting on it, and they'll both have to call the regional's boss and set up a meeting, and so on and so forth, over a joke, and all because the Chicago Battle Bunker's name was used. And his REAL job is at risk. Not an imaginary one, a REAL PERSON'S JOB, all because someone thought they were being cute and making a little funny. Well, it's not funny when you are fired because of a misunderstanding

I'll take a pass on jokes like that, thank you very much.

lolwut?

Dear AlphariusOmegon20,

OP stands for either Original Post or Original Poster. In this case, the Original Poster is krazynadechukr , and in his/her Original Post (before editing), it was he/she that was 'spilling the beans' on the name and location of his/her inside source.

It can all be found on page 1 of this very same thread. Go ahead, check for yourself. We'll wait...

I'm going to assume you're being serious, in which case I sympathize your concern for your friend. However unless the next box set is actually going to be SOB/CSM I don't see how he could possibly get fired, for a joke someone posted on the internet about a fictitious rumor. Even if that theoretically was the next set, there is no proof (e.g. no pictures were posted) that your friend gave out that information, so I think he should be fine.

I'm familiar with what OP means and what was meant by it. The OP is not my issue nor do I care what he did. My only concern is the post I responded to and the Manager of the Chicago Battle Bunker.

Yes, I'm being DAMN serious. The next month of his career at GW is prolly going to be a living hell with the scrutiny he'll have to contend with from regional and even higher up the ladder.

I'll also point out that GW has fired people for far less than breaking their NDA and with far less evidence to support the allegations against them than a post on the internet.

Which I believe was the point you were trying to make to the OP?

I'll echo Grass4hopper's sentiments here. I apologize since we seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot, but it seems silly to me that GW would take such a blatantly fabricated post at all seriously. Assuming that GW really is, I'm sorry your friend is being made to jump through those sort of hoops to clear this up.
