He's pure psychic win.

Check those melon-fething eyebrows man. He doesn't need to be bald or shouting, that frown does it all.

**stonefox**

Yeah that's what I noticed too. He rivals the likes of Thufir Hawat.

edit:\/\/\/ screw you man Sting was hot in that movie.

**Scottywan82**

Stupid-ugly Hawat you mean. I hate you David Lynch!

Sorry, side-tracked.

Click on the picture to enlarge it.

Ignore the Sentinels.

Look at the far left of the picture.

What do you see there?

I see walls with Heavy Bolter positions. I see the same walls that I've seen before on a piece of terrain that GW has shown a couple of times.

Now go to Page 81 in the 5th Ed rulebook. See that bunker up the top? Notice how the walls on that are the same as the walls in the Sentinel picture? It appears again on Page 230 and Page 243.

I am nearly certain we are looking at some of the upcoming Planet Strike terrain. Anyone who remembers the previews for Tau Empire will remember that the main picture that showed off the new Stealth Suits and the Skyray had the Tau fighting Black Templars, and they were set up on the then-as-yet unseen CoD buildings.

I think this is the same. Could be wrong, but seeing that stuff appear again, virtually the same (just in a different config) makes me think that this is some sort of Bunker/Fortification Wall kit that would be modular (so you can build a wall or bunker out of the kit).

Nice catch!

You are the obsessive Guard guy, aren’t you?

**Recklessfable**

The Primaris is an awesome model. I don't like the way they pained his skull, but the model itself is fine.

I figure psykers should be hairless since they tend to have eldritch lightening going on around them, but I guess they figure a model without eyebrows would be hard for folks to relate to?

**Scottywan82**

So has anyone buzzed their GW store in the US? Any of them have the book?

I hope its just a terrible paint job...

He looks a hell of a lot better than the current psyker models that look like they all have migraines.

I think it's going to just turn out to be wishful thinking. Those are, likely, self made pieces by a member of the staff.
Look closely, and you'll see that the HB's look like tank sponsons. Plus, the walls are WOEFULLY under-decorated to be pieces of mass produced GW terrain. Compare those pieces to the CoD stuff. They look amazingly bland by comparison.

Probably just pieces that someone put together that CAN be made modular. Just because they put it in a codex doesn't mean it's going to be mass produced.

There is a reason for that, you know...

**Peredyne**

I can see that primaris psyker getting some dremel work to convert him into a genestealer hybrid magus.

I've been bugging my closest GW store about it and I think they're getting sick of me calling and asking them about it. They keep telling me that they won't have the book for another couple weeks - so either they're lying to me or it's evidence to support the "viewing day" thing discussed earlier. I wish I was going down to Ontario again soon - the GW store there is much cooler than the one in San Jose.

Oh, and my opinion on the Primaris Psyker? That's the best damn Psyker that GW has ever made. He looks like he's out to fry someone's brain - not like a WFHB wizard reject like so many of the old ones were.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Saw the new Sentinel sprue today.

As well as six different weapons (Lascannon, Autocannon, Missile Launcher thingy, Heavy Flamer, Multi Laser and Plasma Cannon) I noted the legs are now articulated, as opposed to the previous one piece.

Oh, and the Crew heads for the Valkyrie are very nice too.

Wasn't allowed to see the book though :(

**Hulksmash**

Out here at least they normally have the item 6 weeks out. They normally allow people to look at it 4 weeks out. This gives the staff the time to study it so that they know the material or if it's a model to build and paint it. So we might not see it here for another week or two. I hope not. I hope this is one of those times they drop it early.

**VermGho5t**

I don't know if this pertains to the topic but I think it does:

Are the Catachan HW Teams the same old models or are they retooled for plastic?

**Platuan4th**

They're plastic, just like the Cadian HW Teams.

**Death By Monkeys**

The Catachan heavy weapon teams have been out in plastic for a long time now! With much more proportionally-sized arms, to boot!

Edit: Damn, ninja'd!

**goffnob deffsmakka**

Is the sentinel plastic if szo then it is really expensive for just one plastic vehicle.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Just the one in the box.

**Platuan4th**

Yes, it's plastic, but now with posable legs, more plastic weapon options, and the option for plastic closed compartment.

**goffnob deffsmakka**

That tower thingy on page 81 of the warhammer 40k rulebook clearly uses a door from COD.
Sorry H.M.B.C. I'ts just a conversion.

Sorry for double post.

Unless, of course, the kit(if it's a Fortress WALL kit) doesn't include doors of its own, which would necessitate a door from another kit.

I'm with H.B.M.C. on this one, it would be too much a coincidence for GW to convert a wall that looks exactly like a side of that Bastion.

**Ozymandias**

Also, just like the CoD buildings they may be an early run or the prototype models.

**niceguyteddy**

Is there a pic of sentinel sprue?

**BoxANT**

Can't wait to get my hands on the new Sentinel.

But I really want to see what the armored Sentinel looks like (and how many points)

Having a lot of weapon options for my little walkers is going to be great

**skullspliter888**

yes i'm ordering now yooooo

**sonofruss**

They used the building in the stompatastic white dwarf. In the pics with the fw fortress wall on the right of the pic it is on the bottom of the page. In the big rule book they called it a bastion there was a lower section and a upper one, and looked production quality not a scratch build. * dang gw I hear a million wallets crying out in pain this year*

**Reecius**

Yes, but its a good pain!

**Scottywan82**

So the black boxes DID go out today, but no one is allowed to see the book? EPIC FAIL!

**Flashman**

Spot the Catachan Command Squad box design fail. There's no bloody jungle! Or have they changed the regiment name to Catachan Urban Ruins Fighters?
