And im just sitting here waiting for Alpharius

Them's some purdy decals
A lot of the stuff on the Iron Hands and Salamanders sheets wouldn't look too out of place in 40K either

A neat touch to have lightning bolt stencils on the Nighlord etched brass.

Are those nostraman runes on the sides also holes through the etch to use as stencils?

I think the runes are just etched in, similar to the Word Bearers one.

Yes?

How can I be of assistance?

Oh, wait...

...yeah, me too!

I am a bit concerned about how they'll give him his 'dynamic' pose and door-stopper base though.

Come on it's obvious,

Alpharius in his ceremonial armour, top hat striking a mustache twirling pose towering over some Ultramarines tied to a stretch of STC railway line

Nah, it'll be three identical marines on one base, you'll know which is the real Alpharius because he'll have a baby stapled to his head.

Kinda jealous of Salamander's special geometrical glyphs, even AL didn't get them.

Also thumbs up for Nostramo glyphs. Out of all legions, only WB and now NL have language glyphs.

That was so obvious I completely overlooked it!

1) That would be a post-Heresy version!
2) And you've more accurately described a Word Bearer setup there!

If it was Word Bearers they'd be wearing black trousers, white shirt, black tie and have a big selection of pamphlets on the Chaos Gods in their identical backpacks.

Pre Heresy version would have Alpharius in a baby carrier on the Emperor's back.

Does anyone legitimately play Solar Auxilia with actual FW Solar Auxilia miniatures? I don't think I've ever seen a batrep or even a full army pic of SA here on Dakka. Everyone lauds the beauty of the army, but no one's willing to spend a couple grand on a bunch of non-Marine cannon fodder

Solar Auxilia is not a cannon fodder army though, that's what the Militia list is for...

They are reasonably easy to proxy with alternate models that are usually much cheaper so I'm not surprised. A Solar Aux. force is on my list to buy once I finish my UM but even I who buys a ton of FW am looking at alternates.

If it isn't power armor or a MC, then it's cannon fodder. My point was, where are the SA buyers and collectors? I don't see them. I see people proxying SA more than anything else.

Thallax say hello.

There's not arguing with some members of the 3+ Reich.

I'm not even sure what that means. Care to elaborate?

What are they for then? Just for people to emulate in freehand? Seems like a weird thing to include.

If I didn't already have boxes and boxes of Dreamforge Eisenkern, I would be buying the Solar Auxilia models. As it is, the DFG models will do quite nicely for me.

Anyway, anybody heard anything about maybe some new Emperor's Children transfers coming eventually? Other legions are getting a refresh, would be nice to see the EC get some of the love from their new artist.

The funny part is that in 30K even the power armored guys are cannon fodder.

Cannon Fodder Everywhere!

Also 2000th post on this thread

You can make the list pretty cannon foddery if you don't take all that many upgrades, tbh.

Oh lol, I just realised...

Budle costs 225 gbp. If you want free shipping, you need to spend 25 more. Bundless book+knight costs 255. So you only save 5 gbp.

Now if you chose not to reach free shipping price limit, the extra 15% shipping increases the price to 258 .

Well played, ForgeWorld, well played

PS. If anyone actually wants that, I have spare January free shipping voucher so pm

The bundles have free shipping included..

Oh, completely missed that - distracted by that shipping sign, stating that free stats from 250 Yeah, it's pretty cool then.

I like the lightning stencil on the Night Lords etched brass, it's a nice touch

It is a nice touch but it seems a bit strange to chose the lightning in my opinion, that seems like the easy part of the iconography to reproduce.
It could have been a nicer touch !

What happened to the rumors of an Admech VS Tau Imperial Armour?

AdMech are still in there, at least according to the people who spoke to FW at that GW 40th birthday, but you know how it's when FW sees an opportunity to sell more marines.
