Did you hear this Chapterhouse?

I don't know what to think of this beast. I kind of like the ugliness of the kit, if I don't look at the tracks to closely. I don't see it fitting in well with the rest of the IG aesthetic. I want to see it next to some chimera and LRBT, it looks like it could shoot over them both!

I am probably going to get mine from the $.99 stores.

Actually I was thinking Lego. Baby will role fast with those! But I'll try all the wheels I have kicking around too.

Yes, it looks equally ugly on land, sea and outer space.

How about we go back to two axles at the back and one at the front? Like a Deuce and a half.

this is already a double deuce Of a model. Big smelly deuce.

The Turox still looks to me like a ready made ork battlewagon with extra armor. Just slap some random plates on it and its good to go. Stll thinking the design team flubbed that one.

Rest of the stuff looks kinda cool.

$16.50

$9 for 6 space marine bike tires

Greatly improved over the stupid GW model.

Just got a set of these wheels, HORRIBLY warped. Will never buy them again.

Having seen the new pics of the Taurox just now, I'm actually warming up to it. Pretty sweet armament it's packing. Loving the scions too.

Austin Powers drove them in looking at them from this angle the turrets don't appear to have a 360 degree option; they look to have a rather limited arc of fire

Way better in green, certainly.

Strangely, the more I come to accept this vehicle as part of the guard roster, the less inclined I am to loot one for my orks. I'll be getting those scions for my inquisitorial detachment, but I think I'll pass on the Taurox for now.

BTW, what about those red barricades on the pic with the three Tauroxes(?)? I don't think they're part of the Wall of Martyrs set... new?

Drove in from the left and turned on the spot with their tracks?

Look like regular Wall of Martyrs sections painted red to me.

The new truck is starting to grow on me, but I think that the baby blue colour scheme looks terrible.

Maybe if I get one and do it with an urban camo scheme it will look better.

Yep.

A limited rotation turret would be fine if they could manage 180 degrees or so, but it looks suspiciously like the one with the gatling cannons is turned about as far as it can go, so maybe 90 degrees at best. At that point, you have to wonder why bother with a turret at all, when you could just have a hull-mounted weapon?

It's not like there's even a reason for the hull bit which gets in the way of the turret to be that tall. Just bad design.

Ah, good to know! Thanks!

If you think the treads look silly, you'll be in for a rude awakening if you think these will look good. They'll be hysterically tiny.

So we see the "new vehicle about the size of a Land raider" is nothing more than an ugly Rhino with weapon options (that will bleed First Blood points) built for a splinter Codex..
Meaning no new assault vehicle for Ogryns??
Making Ogryns uselessness continue into the new codex?

Wells Fargo & Loomis are getting serious about their cash pick ups!

The group shots have helped me scale the Taurox in my mind. I think I'll be picking up this release to start my Ultramar System Defense Force.

I will have to fiddle with the Taurox a bit though. Not a big deal as it will give me an excuse to try some new modeling techniques.

Just a general reminder folks :

We know it seems daft but can we please not attach to dakka images of the new kits, at least until they're officially unveiled.

Thank you.

So hold on, is the imperial guard being completely renamed astra militarum?

This needs to be renamed Codex: Gets Crushed by Wave Serpents.

AV11/10/10 vehicles with no save and T3/4+ save models are just not going to cut it when tons of people are spamming wave serpents.

Are these at least assault vehicles or something?

Get used to losing to Eldar. I believe GW said the power levels of Tau and Eldar were a mistake and to not expect similar in the future.

You just need to forge a narrative where no weapons in 40k are over str 5.

The green one doesnt even sit right on a flat surface, the front tracks are way off.

Model maker shouldnt have made it like that, photographer shouldnt have taken an image of a model like that, and passed it through to marketing, and the WD editor should never have allowed it in the book.

Absolutely. Whoever built that kit should have chucked it in the waste bin instead of building it

Looks like they used a badly cast resin prototype. The whole hull appears to be warped/curved from front to rear and side to side. Front and rear fenders should be parallel to each other. The bottom edge of the hood should be parallel with the rear fender and the top of the panel above it. For side to side, the leading edges of the front fenders should be parallel to each other, but they are not even close.

The blue trucks do not seem to have this problem, although the missile launcher is badly warped.

This truck had the potential to be a cool vehicle, but GW grossly overdid it, turning it into a silly cartoon truck. Even if someone gave me one for free, its far too much work to even begin to fix it.

Welcome to page 78 of this thread!

On a good note - my gasmask stormtroopers will fit in very nicely and no additional purchases seem to be in order.

Now it will be a choice of which rule set I like better - Scions/Astra.

I'm assuming this means yes.

which still makes the situation BS. 20 years of the guard and now they change the name. way to screw with established worlds, fiction, etc.

They decided Astra Militarum was easier to pronounce than Imperial Guard. It just rolls off the tongue.
