Such dust

Much fog

Wow!

But man why do BA get such cool libs?

Those Termies look good in the better pics, but at this point I'm wondering if they are literally just Assault Termies with the option for a Chapter Banner, or whether they are a new unit.

Terminators kinda blow... Why so much excitement over yet another varient of the same box?

My cup is half full this evening!

Ok the next batch, now from Waaaghgaming.de who has it from the painting guide

This looks to be a mix of old and new kit:

I like the new banner. The terminators are OK but nothing special. I've already got my 3rd edition space hulk termies long ago and I won't swap them out for those.

Sanguinary priests in HQ? That doesnt bode well.

You know that with a model release at £18 a pop they will make them awesome rules wise so they can sell some kits.

Like they did with Bullgryns, the Tau flyers, the Dark Angels flyers, the Taurox and the Archon?

That banner looks so corruptible into some emperors children

30 bucks for that plastic priest....ouch

Is it me or are the paints jobs nothing like a few years ago in quality? They seem to have dropped.

Im pretty sure its to not overwhelm potential buyers with painting well above there ablity or something like that.

(i recall eavy metal or studio painters where hired just to do mediocre work very quickly, at least so iv been told)

Edit: @junior.

yes it is

Well, it looks like I won't be buying that Terminator Librarian.

I hate filing off fiddly details like that, just to field a damn Librarian for my Deathwing.

Did you really need to requote all those pictures?

And yes, it does appear to be Dante.

Could you not just cut off the gems under his wrist and paint the rest of the blood droops green, pretend they're gems and call it a day? Why deny yourself a fairly cool looking TermieLib.

Very underwhelmed with the kits so far in this release and the upcoming terminators. Guess I've been spoiled by the DC and Sang kits so much that these don't really do much for me. I'll still pick up a box of everything so I can add them to my collection but so far everything looks just "meh".

Are those new Termies on 50mm bases?

Looking at the sprue pics of the sang. priest it should be easy to work with. The BA shoulder pad even looks to be separate, for all the successor chapters.

Or for those of us who say "Deathwatch!" whenever we see a Marine character model with an optional shoulder pad.

You can actually see all the HQs but Seth, Tycho and Sanguinor.

Yeah, looks like Meph and Big D ain't gettin' new models.

Well looks Like I'm Gonna grab a couple boxes of terminators to go along with the new tac kits. With the Death storm boxes I bought I'll just mix n match the terminators all up giving everyone a little Blood Angels bling, add on some TH and SS bits and good to go.

Sorry for the pic quote but at quick glance I thought that might have been a new sculpt for Dante, but it's the old one. Mephiston and Astorath are also in the picture too. Same models. So if there is any new SC models, it would most likely be tycho. But doubt it.

They haven't rebased the old characters.

The bad news is that they're not apparently getting new sculpts. The good news is that they're apparently not getting new sculpts which, judging by the Space Wolves, would have mephiston riding this psychic contraption:

Doesn't look like it. I think they're still on 40's.

H.B.M.C. wrote:Yeah, looks like Meph and Big D ain't gettin' new models.

Dante wouldn't be a hard conversion. The SangGuard box is ripe for the picking.

Even Meph wouldn't be too tricky I don't think. I'd even be tempted to knock him up out of the new Sangpriest. Take the body, leave off the arms and backpack. Give him a plasma pistol then find an ornate looking sword, again, something out of the SangGuard box.. The hardest part would be finding an a appropriate head.

An eternal space marine like Dante deserves an eternal base.

Wait, he is not even an eternal warrior :( give him a 32mm base now!

Looks like no centurions/stormtalon/hunter/stalker in the codex if you look at the army pictures, not the biggest deal for me but still worth noting

So to keep with tradition, this is the first indicator Seth, Tycho, and the Sanguinor are to be cut from the codex? Unless we're getting a bigger Sanguinor because we can't have Warmachine showing us up (Harbinger, baby!). But in reality, that's the only model that could go absolutely bonkers with a new sculpt (more dynamic, for one) versus two more PA dudes.

Seth is in the book, he is shown on the codex itune page in the army builder screenshot, 155 pts

Also... is that an Ultramarine Symbol on his kneepad?

They have models. Why would they be cut?

This isn't a Baron or Mordrak situation (or whatever that GK character was called).

'Santoro'. Cool, named after the awesomest tennis player of the last 20 years!
