Bummed out such an awesome model is in resin. Not surprised, just not interested in a resin model that big.

Is it the first Legion Destroyer Squad that can't take jump packs?

Really milking bringing back the Destroyers aren't they?

Yep - three of the seven new units, but they are one of the very few visually different non-Legion specific units (others being Breachers & Recon).

UM Nemesis Destroyer Squad - Themed Destroyers
DG Mortus Poisoner Squad - Themed Destroyers
WE Red Hand Destroyer Assault Squad - Themed Destroyers
IW Dominator Cohort - Themed Terminators (Cataphractii)
IF Huscarl Squad - Themed Terminators (Cataphractii)
NL Atramentar Squad - Themed Terminators (Tartaros / Contekar?)
DA Inner Circle Knights Cenobium (Order of the Broken Claws) - New variant

As long as they keep the Destroyers in stock and don't pull the rug on them when the next edition comes out, I'm great with this. Destroyers are awesome.

Don't forget that Fafnir Rann & Dominion Zephon are coming this week as part of the Black Library Celebration:

New box packaging. Looks like the rebrand

Yeah. Bit odd that the side of the boxes is so different, but they could just be mock-ups.

I like how destroyers are basically 30K reivers, only the 30K rule writer actually has a clue unlike 40K hack and tries to make the different chapter spins interesting (and also recognizes, unlike his inept 40K counterpart, that no one is afraid of 5-10 bolters or combat knives for the points tag and actually tries to give them tools to do their job). Hey, GW, how about telling that dude to fix reivers instead of wasting his time pointlessly doing 757395 versions of the same HH unit? Especially seeing you'd sell tons of plastic if you fired the dude sabotaging 40K rules and no amount of putting lipstick on a pig will really sell FW resin at current prices, at best you will funnel more money to thieves?

Not 'could', they are blatant 3D renders. Much easier and simpler than messing with photos of the real thing.

are these limited edition or will they be around for a while?

They'll probably stay around - the previous ones (Eisenhorn, Severina Raine, Valerian & Aleya & Uriel Ventris) are still available.

I still don't get why they decided to make Severina look like she's bald in all of the promo pictures.

Those are some sweet looking boxes.

I don't really see any similarity between Reivers and Destroyers. Destroyers are special weapons squads that specialize in highly dangerous and forbidden weaponry/technology and a penchant for dual-wielding pistols. Reivers are just infiltrating close combat commando types that don't know how to do their job well.

And yet, wearing Lego-tier skull masks somehow makes them more intimidating than the Night Lords.

How long are they gonna drag these two guys on?

What is this, the fourth post about them?

Fafnir always sounds Space Wolfy to me.

Probably because it's a name from the Norse mythology.

I'd expect a similar post about Dominion Zephon, then another when you can actually order them at least...

That and his love of attacking are the reason there's a fan-theory that he's actually a Space Wolf recruit sent to the wrong legion.

Well and he also has two huge axes, and that's a weapon most commonly associated with Space Wolfes.
