Hmmm, would it be bad to use these for 40k? Because I really like them.

Those White Scars helmets look almost Eldar-like. Very nice change.

I would go so far as to say they are the wasp's nipples!

Do it! There's no 30k specific bits there that I can see, so using them to spice up some 40k Veterans or commanders would be fine!

Really like the White Scars helmets, I reckon I could get away with using them in my Emperor's Children loyalist force.

These upgrade kits are amazing.

My least favorite MK armour is the MK 2, but looking at these kits with the upgrades on the site has changed my mind.

Might get some helmets for my sons of Horus, they'll fit right in.

They make me totally hornety

Wow. I really hate that White Scar stuff :/

The torsoes look more 40k than 30k.

The helmets look like Lord of the Rings rejects.

The chapter badge on the pads looks like it was made by a recent art school graduate who thinks misproportioned and half finished is cool.

Classy.

Lol

just noticed that now.

Edit: Doesn't mean i dont like it though.

More top notch upgrade kits, those helmets in particular look awesome, cannot make my mind up which Legion to do now, I was waiting for the Wolves but always been a big white scars fan too, decisions decisions

Not seeing the buck-teeth tbh The helmets look awesome IMO, like a mongolian helmet has just been put on over a basic power armoured helmet.

Certainly gives the impression of this:

The face guard looks like it has teeth. not really buck but now all i can see is a giant smiley face

Better not show it on Tumblr, before the overly sensitive people start sending angry emails to FW.

I always think of this people as twitter and reddit. I forget their is another side of Tumblr besides porn. Lol

Great looking g kit from FW as always. Really dig their look.

Man, I'm always ready to call BS on some racism or whatnot, but the helmet comment is a reeeal stretch.

I will not start White Scars. I will not start White Scars. I will not start White Scars....

Yeah, so much so that we should all possibly just let it slide and eventually fade into obscurity...

Well, in other news, I think the retro/modified/whatever white scars logo looks pretty badass.

Do we have evidence on the Space Wolves? 'Cause I really like their original more stylized logo over the current one- has that one officially left the building, or is there hope the HH wolves have it?

Now waiting for the brass etch and decals...

Whoa. Those are some awesome shoulder pads.

I tried telling myself that about Alpha Legion for a while, but the forthcoming GW plastic HH Mk IV armor will undo my previous determination. If nothing else, the three HH armies I have in work, or plan to do, are all going to play VERY differently (Salamanders, Thousand Sons, and Alpha Legion).

I'm hoping the rules for adding random squads from other legions is in the next book as having one squad from each would scratch that inch for me.

Those WS helmets look the gak! Want some baaaad for my CSM guys.

Shattered Legions may be tackled in the next book, which may just offer this.

I hope so, they've been promising the rules for a while, just hope they turn out awesome!

Reminds me of...

Is it possible that the Alpharius' rules suck so badly and he looses to every other Primarch because FW is planning to make Omegon miniature too? So two of them combined, making one "full" Primarch, would kick at least some arse?

I am still under the weather after apparently choosing the worst when it comes to combat (according to BL and now FW) legion. I need some hope.

Alpharius's rules don't "suck". He may not be the best choice for hot Primarch on Primarch action, but he still brings a lot to the table for his Legion.

Which is much more flavorful for Alpharius, anyways. It makes more sense for him to be focused around making his Legion more powerful rather than being a singularly powerful Primarch like Vulkan or Angron.

Indeed! All Characters so far for the Legion has a strong army/squad support element and are not just beatsticks.

Dynat gives you the boosts of a master of signals consul, good offensive speed in close quarters and is a very flexible close-combat fighter.

Exodus is the coolest character in the game so far, gives good squadboosts to your head-hunters / recon squad and will mow down enemy sergeants, Vexillia-bearers and Independent characters at a frightening pace.

Alpharius, well.. he brings possibly the best army boost of all the Primarchs and also, his rules are the funniest of them all.


Use them well and defeat your foe with synergetic bonuses and interlocking tactics rather than with brute force.


one piece at the time...
