Same here!

I didn't think I wanted to start a 30K World Eaters force - but...maybe now I do?

I've always loved their Pre-Heresy color scheme.

These helmets look ace too!

Used on both Grimaldus models and probably others too.

Are you joking here?

US Dollar pricing is surprisingly less than I thought esp for Sicaran.

Also one of the GW Stealth Price Decrease By Doubling Contents going on with the Terminators (orig $60 for 5, now $85 for 10) like the mk3/4 before it and Liberators etc

**gorgon**

I don't even play 30K anymore, but I'll probably pick up a pack of the new helmets, since they're pretty much exactly what I wanted back when I built my XIIth legion.

**Saturmorn Carvilli**

The terminators are a tad more than I thought they be at $85, but I suppose 'GW reasonable' enough. Hopefully, I can scrounge some Cataphractii power weapon arms. Then it's just a matter of getting some Carsoran Pattern looking power axes.

I think what's going to do my $$$ in is regular power armor and weapons upgrade kits. I don't know if I can resist weapons I like (like Heavy Bolters), but don't really have a place in any army list I want to field. I'm already fighting the urge to make a Destroyer squad because I think double bolt pistols is cool.

**SamusDrake**

£30 for the Mechanicum/Knights/Titan book? Hmmmm...

**Blastaar**

Wow. The Sicaran may be fair value at a decent discount.

Ok, I'll never unsee it now.

Hey, now I'm considering getting some of those, add batwings and use them as some kind of small flying monster.
Hm, maybe paint them to look like killer tomatoes ...

At least someone is finally supporting murder fish gnomes with miniatures!

**H.B.M.C.**

From an aesthetic choice, do people here think, were you to get them, that these helmets should be given to all members of a squad, or just squad leaders, or scattered around at random or to important members of a squad?

Yeah that's burned into my brain now.

These World Eaters ones in particular? I think a full squad of them for veterans, maybe just the sergeant for normal tactical marines is now I’d do it.

Both, really? Some of them are more general than others might just fit with vets or squad leaders.

Just curious what people think.

**Dysartes**

Remind me, guys - is the Sicaran a standard tank, or a super-heavy tank?

**Mr_Rose**

It’s a standard one. It’s not a lot bigger than the Predator and is much smaller then the Kratos which itself isn’t even a super-heavy.

**Dysartes**

...you can tell I've not picked the army list books up for this edition, can't you?

I'm surprised to hear the Kratos isn't a SHT, though - but I think I'll be picking up a Sicaran first.

Kratos can even be squadrons of 2. Iirc Spartan isn't superheavy, but the gun tanks built on the chassis are. But the Spartan is currently a lord of war in 40k

**Gert**

The Cerberus and the Typhon are Lords of War but no longer Superheavies.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Darksphere has Deimos Rhinos back in stock. £21 a Chuck.

Monster Monster Monster!

**SamusDrake**

Glad to see the Knights are finally getting updated, after all this time!

Oh...wait, wrong game.

Goodness sake! Forgot to add the bloody link! Twice!

Well, if they’re deviating from how the Knight Lists in Conquest were presented, then that’s a shame.

Right now I have the old gladiator bunny ear helmets saved for special models. I have them on some characters and on my sergeants to make them easier to pick out. Personally I feel like that scattering the upgrade bits around works well for 30K. "Stock" looks and a certain amount of uniformity between legions makes sense for the setting, IMO.

Same! I quite liked the customs ranks you could purchase for your nobles.

**Gert**

There is this bit at the end of that paragraph though:

There are oodles of options on top of this, making Knight armies more attractive than ever.

Maybe the older system is still represented in some way. It's not like WarCom is always accurate with regards to rules.

. Fingers crossed.
