suddenly the current JPs aren't big nor fussy at all

**endlesswaltz123**

I like it, the wings are a tad too eldar for my liking though.... Even has those gem things that eldar armour has.

**jinnai**

A bigger and more detailed picture of Corax has surfaced on the Warhammer World website.

Completely changed my mind about how he looked, gone from meh to wow. Definitely more detailed than the original image showed.

Now about that hair..

**Januine**

Glorious stuff. Really digging the Corax. Definitely be getting him in the new year. Only thing I'd change is that naff helmet. That niggle aside, fantastic job they've done on this one

Also nice Eldar backpack. on that RG. LOL

**Fireball**

yeah, picture of Corax is way better ... now he looks big enough for a Primarch ... still all these details on a black armor will be difficult to paint

Those are rivets, not gems. The Eldar wings have as you put it much larger gems.

Remember that Corax's wings aren't made of Wraithbone. They're metal.

They're angled down, so probably more likely to be verniers than spirit stones.

**angelofvengeance**

Liking the Raven Guard jump packs. Is that Reflex tech stuff? Also to those of you having a whinge, I'm not sure what you're complaining about. The Sanguinary Guard jump packs in 40K are much worse IMO and I refuse to have them in my BA force. I'll keep the nipple plate armour but they're getting Vanguard Vets jump packs.

**ImAGeek**

I'm a massive fan of the Dark Furies. And I love Corax. Gonna wait for them both and order them together me thinks.

And FFS, what were you thinking FW? This is horrible. The proportions are completely off (broad shoulders and too short), the jump pack is just awful

not to be that guy but are you nuts? the model is freaking gorgeous in every way

Yeah I have to say I like it.

The new image of Corax makes him look much better too.

Oh and yeah, they might not know it but they finally made a new Shrike model

**bubber**

I like the new RG model.
Don't like Corax' boots though.

**Theophony**

All the details on his arm armor and the boots with the animal images help to bring the space sharks connection together for me.

**warboss**

The new image does help a bit but you still have the pencil troll hair and the Zap Brannigan pistol. Both are showstoppers for me and I wouldn't buy that model. I would have preferred a just about to take flight Corax instead of yet another forgeworld named character killing a leaning back nameless grunt on top of a bunch of rubble pose.

**Desubot**

I'm surprised his Jet pack intakes haven't given him a buzz cut

Fantastic details though.

The emperor, in his infinity wisdom, designed each Primarch's hairdo apparently to withstand both wind, turbines, fire both bolter and regular, and frizz without the need for product.

Thats why Ferrus met his end, he didn't have hair to protect his head

But honestly, the Raven Guard stuff looks great to me, between the snipers, jump guys and Corax, I am really tempted to start 500 points of RG and the Primarch... I'm seriously on my way to having a bit of each Legion.

I'm in the same boat! Every legion is cool enough that I want to start a collection of them

**spiralingcadaver**

Corax looks really nice, but not at all a fan of his jumping buddies- way too bulky looking.

I think the problem for me is that they have those huge wings like they're supposed to be ornate and stylized armor, but they're just a flat outline cut out of a sheet of plastic. It's like the sculptor stopped working on it after putting together the rough draft, and FW rushed it out to meet a deadline. If they weren't going to add more detail to the wings I would've preferred to have a normal jump pack with subtle decorations, like this:

**Bulldogging**

How long after event pre-purchases does forgeworld usually require before you can order new items?

**Vash108**

I think those wings on the jetpacks are for the chemtrails.

Depends, the Warlord took ages but the last book released at a weekend event was up for sale on Forgeworld was up the next Friday.

Book 6 :

-Will be available from the Horus Heresy Weekender

-Tylos Rubio is being worked on right now by Israel

the White Scars.
-The Keshig will be upcoming for White Scars

Further info we have also found out:

-Darren Parwood is working on a new knight
-A new air tile is being worked on right now that will accomodate the Stormbird/Thunderhawk. Not being completed until the Stormbird was finished (just to be sure the Stormbird doesnt go through the board!!). Stormbird is currently in printing production. Possible first appearance at Weekender

Headhunter Killteam, apparently.

**Crazyterran**

Another Isstvan legions book?

When are they going to make a combined book of all the non Isstvan legions :(

**Fireball**

These painted Dark Furies miniatures look better, but I still think that the jump packs are too big.

The AL Headhunter Killteam on the other hand looks friggin awesome ... love the shoulderpads.

**Januine**

Lotsa lovely new stuff on the way. New ordinatus variant - like that a lot. Considering getting one once that is released. Corax - delicious!! New warlord weapons are fantastic. Lucius pattern head is horrible. Looks like an old style boiler furnace. Lucius pattern - bleughhhhhhhh. Hated the luscious pattern warhound too but that's just me. Mastodon is a beautiful thing - thankfully for my wallet I'm not collecting SM at the mo!!!!! 2016 is looking good (and costly!!)

**ImAGeek**

Really like the Dark Furies.

It's the Black Library disease...

**BrookM**

Ooh, a Crusade Imperialis book, I thought they said no way? If it contains the Solar Auxilia, very nice!
