I would love stencils for every army. Heck, even just chapter symbols would be nice. But as someone who has a hard time making lightning, if I had a NL army, I would snap up that brass in a heart beat.

I'm almost certain I remember seeing one for the Iron Warriors which had hazard stripes in the stencil (can't remember if it was in a bulletin or from an event).

Why wouldn't just do a google search for waterslide decals that you need? I am pretty sure you can find a lot of non-GW products that suite just fine:

I'm personally not a fan of decals- prefer to freehand, so I would appreciate the stencil I think. Of course, I am an Imperial Fist player, so whether I'll ever be painting Iron Warriors or not is a different matter. Maybe the traitor scum could be base decoration, hmm....

If you're buying the brass etch anyway it's just a nice little extra having the stencil in the part that normally you'd just throw away.

Personally, I am not too good with doing all the details by hand so I seek help anywhere I can.

P.S. You should probably edit your post before other IW players ripped you a new one...

Same here. I am awful at little details like lightning. I also HATE decals, especially on round or uneven surfaces.

I hear micro sol and micro set are good for that type of issue.

Unless you have tried that already lol.

Micro sol is GREAT. Used it on my Knights shoulder pads ... 2 applications after a gloss coat, then clearcoat overtop ... looks like its is painted all pro style.

Man, after painting just one astral claws chapter badge, I decided decals were the only course.

And yes, gloss + micro sol is the answer.

I will have to look into that. If it works like advertised, I will redo all of my current decals to get them looking better.

Might want to invest in some micro set too, it's the companion product, and I've frequently been asked if my decals are hand painted.

I will look into that as well. I hate how my decals look so terrible. I am replacing many of them with FW brass etch once it arrives.

Here's a brilliant tutorial I found very useful on getting decals to work:

Any new rumors/news on the release date of Imperial Armour 16 (Red Scorpion vs Tau)?

Haven't heard anything new. Is there a GW/FW event coming up in the near future? They would probably release it right after that if there is.

That will most likely release the next HH book, though. Have they done 2 books at once before?

Think we'll see another primarch with Corax so close still? maybe the Mastadon or head hunters?

Edit: For pre-order i mean, not just the sculpts. SW bits would be too

I'm actually surprised that the Solar Auxilia medicae orderlies haven't been tossed up for sale yet, they've been previewed quite some time ago now.

Seriously!?
all they did was Re-Release the MK2,3,4,5,6 armour
This was not a good friday...(i was hoping the Alpha Legion Headhunters were gonna be released today)

Can't have winners every week.

It's strange that they didn't release hands-on bolters with these, but I'm very glad to see the return of Mk V

Edit: Hands-on bolters are already a thing

The Mk V and Mk VI are entirely new sets. The rest are a re-release

Bolters (and other weapons) came out a few weeks ago.

Isn't there more leg variations than previously?

It looks like all 5 legs are slightly different, when before there were just 2-3 variations.

Previously, there were two variants - 1 running, 1 standing nonchalantly.

With these, all five look like different poses. Suit details and embelishments are different and the arm poses are different.

Did the codpieces of the MKV heresy armour have studs before? I can't remember them having studs.

Also, take a look at the helmet in the top right of the MKIV maximus armour. That is weird.
