Models running on tippee toes can be a pain though. I never liked the extra time to hold the running Cadian in place due to the small contact area.

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration.

With good plastic cement you cover the contact points of both parts with glue, give it five to ten second to start a reaction, put them together and apply pressure for a second or two. Stuff shouldn't come apart again after that.

With GW models especially I'm not sure why an even larger surface to stand the model on is desirable given the oversized feet GW usually puts on their models. It makes sense as it goes with the general heroic proportions, and it has the added benfit of providing a large surface to glue on the base. Adding a tactical rock for stability alone is overkill.

Even the Witch Elves I cut from their tactical rocks that only have actual, tiny triangles of the tip of their feet to keep them on the bases are sooner going to snap at the ankle than lose the glued connection.

No, definitely more time than a small dab on the feet of the two feet on the ground models. Plus a little extra time to prevent them developing a bit of a lean.

So glad there was only one per sprue of five Guardsmen.

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest this wasn't your experience, just that it doesn't have to be.

I'm really not expecting the box to be shown. Just a hunch that a release of that size would probably be saved for a summer slot. Hope to be wrong.

Tough one. It would be in line with the idea of Horus Heresy expanding into a core game that's been proposed occasionally to get it as a summer release. Whereas a release late in the year would be in line with the previous Horus Heresy box releases. Both ideas have merit.

I'd certainly like to see the box covered during this preview. I can't really tell from the leaked pictures how the Marines' proportions are going to end up and would appreciate high quality photos straight from GW, Plus, as has been mentioned, a preview should give us an idea of when to expect the release.

Just a note, but Horus Heresy also currently covers the Adeptus Titanicus range, so it may be a preview for that instead

That model has more bling than Mr. T.

Also, I really like that staff of Ra he's rocking.

But F smurfs.

Don't they usually make it clear when it's Titanicus though?

I'm not expecting much more than maybe the Khan and some Praetors, a tease of the boxset at best.

That forgeworld website captcha gating is really annoying. I could see that for ordering or maybe at most putting things i to the cart but not from accessing the site at all.

I just wish they could have made it like some ad mech or inquisitor thing. At least that would make it themed

I’m pretty sure they do, yeah. I don’t remember them ever saying Horus Heresy and then showing Titanicus. They’d just say Titanicus.

It is really annoying. I find that if I go to Forge World via the link on Warhammer Community, I don’t get it though.

I haven't tried that but will for new releases/news items so thanks. Mostly I just click in thread links or from searches for classic items and get turned off from going further. It's too much to ask IMO for simply looking at some product pictures and I doubt it deters Russian and Chinese recasters if that is the purpose.

Khan looks really well done, but no box, big sad.

Shocker, another Heresy let down.

Was kinda hoping for the Khan to have a jetbike...

Was widely speculated for years that Khan would be last due to having an alternate jetbike model Khan released alongside / shortly afterwards to accommodate the two profiles he has in the rules. I suppose there's still a chance, they did say "More to come" or something at the end of the Khan vid, personally I'd prefer so ascended Primarchs or something like that instead (maybe some new poses for the loyalists, but I'd bet this won't ever happen).

I like the khan model. Will definitely be painting him at some point

Khan looks aight but I'm really bummed that the new HH box didn't get as much as a tease yet. Therefore I'd wager that the new box will not be out until Q2/22 at the earliest. Yawn

And on top of that, they're gonna act like its some big news. Like we haven't known and seen the contents for well over half a year by then, and they wont be showing much else other than that. At least that's my gut feeling. Like yeah it sucks your cool box was leaked way before you planned to launch it, but I hope they recognize how broadly aware the community is about this box, and throw in some extra reveals to bump the hype back up.

I'm starting to doubt the box even exists.

I posted this on another forum but as i was mindlessy scrolling through the book of faces i found this in the comment section of one of the Khan posts. Seems to be at least in my eyes confirmation that the box exists

It's been so long, I think I've forgotten what's in this proposed hopefully soon to be revealed new 30K box set.

As well as whether or not the rules will be changing/upgrading as well?

Someone help a brother out!

You realise there's a huge population of users who don't use the internet for their hobby. Who might only glance at the GW site and not much else; who aren't using 3rd party stores or ebay or forums or even facebook groups for news. Many customers are much more casual than those on places like Dakka and often will get their first news at a GW reveal event or Community news post. Not to mention all the people who are not gamers or not 30K gamers today, but will or might be when the news goes formally out.

Thank you beast_gts!

MK6 in plastic - and a plastic Spartan - will make this box ridiculously popular.

I mean, I'm in for at least 2, and maybe 3.

I wonder what's in store in terms of the rules too...

Nope I'm not aware of this massive population of people I would have no way of knowing about, how are you? I suppose it is entirely possible that 7 billion people discover GW tomorrow and not tell anyone on the internet lol. That's a pretty unassailable statement to make, and honestly I don't know what point you're getting at in regard to my post.

This box has been covered on every relevant forum, facebook group, and dozens of Youtube videos. Some are from channels the algorithm will throw at you just for typing in "Marine" (cough Valrak). What I'm getting at is that almost nobody is going to be surprised by this box, so it would be nice to show something else alongside it when its finally officially revealed (for the people we can actually quantify).

Its looking more like 40 MKVI and 10 Cataphracti in the box.

And in shocking newsflash: As hard as it might be to believe for forum goers the forum goers aren't majority. Nor are tournament player. If GW target market would be forum goer size they wouldn't be making nearly as much profit as they do. Questionable would they even make profit...

How many timmy 12yo's you see post here btw? Those are the main targets GW aims for.

GW doesn't alter their reveals because of leaks nor do they need to. Majority still will find it news. The tiny forum goer population is irrelevant whether they get surprised by reveal or not.

Where you getting 40/10 from? I can imagine the Cataphract are more than 5 (the way they are spaced, plus there are some yellow blurs that are likely more of them) but the PA guys look to number around 30 to me.

/Edit - Actually no you are correct, I see 30 SoH marines and 10 IF now that I look more closely.

Im literally saying it would be nice to see something extra for all the ACTUAL THOUSANDS of people who have known about this for months now. And its not just "Fourm goer population" I listed, Youtube, Facebook groups (theres 1-2 large ones for every fething legion), and yes also forums. These are quantifiable numbers of people aware of this box. Why are you even arguing against my statement lol?

I think people are assuming 30/5 because that's what the previous boxes had, and it's hard to tell from the photos (but the inclusion of the Spartan makes this a much bigger box anyway).

What possible use would a 12 year old Timmy have for a 30k starter set? Most Warhammer fans are grown man.

Besides, if GW doesn't care for their internet-dwelling, forum-goer population, why do they pump out so much badly disguised ads in places those people are most likely to be the majority, make so many videos, warhammer community posts, stream so much...

If you are looking to start playing marines, they can be a great on-ramp. My son’s fist box was Betrayal at Calth. He was 12.
