These are NOT my models. They were at a GW store, in the process of becoming store display models. You can see the new large purity seals on the side of land raider. The fitment of the drop pod doors I didn't like, BUT that may be because the store was sent the model without instructions on how to put it together. It also didn't seem like a lot of clean-up work was done to make the fitment perfect, as I was able to take a hobby knife and in 20 seconds had one of the doors closing quite a bit better. With that said, take the fitment pics of the pod with a grain of salt. At least one of the doors was installed perfectly. It closed up and looked great.

Lastly, the hurricane bolter sprue is pictured as well, since they decided to use the other weapons on the one they made.

Here's hoping the land raider sprues end up on bits sites shortly after release, I have an extra Land Raider waiting for plastic Hurricane Bolters. Thanks for the pics.

Somewhere in south-central England.

That's a pretty good looking kit, actually. I'm tempted.

Are the purity seals moulded on or bitz?

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

I've been playing with these kits for the last 2-3 weeks and they are very good.

The hurricaine bolter sets are great and they are sure to make it onto bitz websites.
For the LR a decent replacement of metal with plastic.

Am I the only one who thinks that "extra armor" GW came up with looks like garbage? Guess FW gets more of my money for the near future. :(

Holy monolith wannabe Batman. The drop pods are huge. I was right when I thought you could easily get an obscured result if you park a vehicle behind them. I had a feeling that they would be big, but not that big.

Do you mean the Frag Assault Launchers on the front?

Mm. Those flamey-cannons on the Redeemer are yummy-looking.

Ah, forgot to ask about that. I'll see if they still have it around and get a shot of it.

They had the new land raider and drop pod built at the Glen Burnie Battle Bunker for the AoBR midnight launch. The plastic Mulit-Melta is nice looks about the same but plastic, they wouldn't let me have that bit . The one on my Crusader is a pain in the ass to actually keep glued on. I didn't get to see the hurricane bolters since they had it kitted out with the flamers, but I assume they are also good. My crusader just feels wierd with the heavy metal bits on the sides that flop around. $10 cheaper is also nice.

The red shirt did say that there was only bits for the redeemer and crusader in the box, so no you can't make the normal land raider out of the box.

The drop pod did look nice.
