It's like they're trying to compensate for something....

Like the time they had a banner made with gears out the wazoo?

**H.B.M.C.**

I have that cog banner model. It's actually pretty cool.

**Makaleth**

You know what... they would be sweet for a slaanesh terminator squad.

Actually, looking at the site.

There are some models that are amazing.

For vehicle upgrades:

That is all

**H.B.M.C.**

I ended up getting this one, this one, this one, this one, this one and this one.

Makes a nice squad.

**Makaleth**

Serious heavy armour and weaponry for admec, they look great. As for the shark boyz... these are much nicer.

Get rid of the plumes!!! Or just keep it on the captain model.

yea, I'm not diggin it either

imagine waling around with that thing on yer head

**Reecius**

Dope! Those are awesome.

**SkaerKrow**

SPACE SPARTANS! PREPARE FOR SPACE GLORY!

**Kroothawk**

Space Spartans! First choice for combat in a Space Hulk! When the ceiling is dirty

**Agamemnon2**

Man, that has got to be the most hideous spelling of "Executor" I've ever seen. These guys must be into enforcing some pretty darn tricky wills.

**Sgt.Roadkill**

compared to Hitech's usual fair this is a definite step up

**Kroothawk**

New WIP soon to be released:

**kenshin620**

Sweet not Thunderfire, dont see those too often.

Would look very good with Ad Mech armies for obvious reasons

That's what I was thinking. What an interesting time to release such a thing...

**combat engineer**

Like the cannon. Not so sure now on the Spartans. The crest seem at odds with heads. If they could put an armour helm on them, I think they would look alright.

My thoughts exactly. I think with a bit of converting Id really like them...but at over $90 US...I dunno...thats really outrageous. I can buy a box of Terminators and tons of conversion bits for that price.

For 1/3 the price Id buy 2 sets.

**Griever**

Oh no, that crest on their backs!

Shame, that would have single handedly sold me on a Minotaur army (with the forge Chapter Master of course).

**The Dwarf Wolf**

I rarely express myself in those therms, because i think it is over ofensive... But this time they deserve it:

Those models look ridiculous, the parts that should bring the "uniquesnes" to them are just stupid, and all the rest is easily achivied with less expensive kits.

That is just my oppinion, dont get offended if you think another way...

**JaxnFury**

I quite like them -sort of- but like many others are saying - the price is just more ridiculous than the crests.

**Marrak**

Some of the first miniatures from hitech I like. Nice detail, not blobby... not overly busy.

The crests and the price absolutely kill it. Pity, the optional helmets were really nice.

I am one of the five and I am not. I think they look a bit silly to be honest.

**Omegus**

These are the real Custodians, sweeping the Imperium's streets clean in the name of the Emprah!

**Grundz**

I hate the flat 3d printed details this guy puts on his stuff, the side supports on that hellfire are aweful.

it angers me because these are so close to being super awesome, but not quite.

**Fosner1703**

Does the sculptor wear Bi-focals and think that everyone has to point there head down to look through the top part of their glasses? It seems like alot of his sculpts are looking at the ground.

Someone has to re-do those barrels.

They're so plain it looks like someone took off the real barrel and replaced it with some haphazard PVC tubing.

Poor showing, hyperdetailed crazy-ass melon-fethers.

**ironicsilence**

it is odd for a company that is generally over the top with detail to give such a plain barrel

**Puscifer**

I quite like them.

**BrookM**

I'm more bothered by the track units than the gun barrels for some reason.

I just saw that and am scratching my head even more.

It's so flat and underwhelming that it just doesn't work on both a modeling level and a counts-as level. It doesn't fit the aesthetic of Space Marines, and it doesn't even look like something the IG would use on a dare.
