How could anyone not?

Yeah they do look pretty cool. I like FW stuff for this reason making stuff with a diffrent look from GW.

If you knew your old GW models, you'd know that these are actually designs from about 20someodd years ago, redone with a new aesthetic. That new rocket launcher looks so cool it hurts. Shame the price tag is as high as anything else from Forgeworld though. If I had a lot more disposable income I'd be all over them.

Agreed. If my money wasn't tied up in other affairs, I would slap some of it down on probably 2 packs (for 4 total, among other weapons) of these.

They do look pretty wicked. It almost looks like a rapid-fire missile launcher.

Now that would be cool. A Missle Launcher that fires anywhere from 1-4 shots, and scatters 2" for every shot past the first fired.

So 1 shot would scatter as normal, 2nd shot would scatter +2", 3rd shot would scatter +4", etc.

Wouldn't be very simple, and so would never happen, but damned if it wouldn't be cool.

Sounds kinda like you're talking about a Thunderfire cannon there!

Those look awsome, I'm going to have to pick some up as soon as possible.

I could barely tell that was a rocket launcha' first time I looked at it

yeah, it's freaking awesome. Besides the aesthetic side of it, they're cool to shoot out of a rhino.

Thats actually a really good deal for a weapons pack!

Yeah, it is! It gives you two of everything except...Plasma>? Why no plasma?

Because that would have been way to conveniant for me :( I did however just order two of them....

I am surprised no one hs stated the Obvious yet: The Image shows a model made entirely of Plastic and Resin; then the text insert says: Plastic and resin components not included. So per the text you are buying air.

I know that is the only image that makes that ridiculous claim; but still I find it funny.

meh.

They looked ugly in 1987, they look ugly now.

Most importantly, it doesn't look like a missile launcher.

lololololol

use your imagination boyo

I hope they make the rest of the over-the-shoulder heavy weapons, especially the heavy bolter... they looked just like giant bolters!

Becouse the Space Wolves ended up with them

Duuuude

That'd be so cool if they did the rest of the RT heavy weapons.


And special weapons too. : P

I'm I the only guy who doesnt it like it? The curved end bothers me. I like my Rawkett Lawnchairs to be angular or cylindrical. The ammo feed looks neat though.

Can't get enough of this stuff, going to be making tac squads out of these kits. Unfortunately it does mean that each squad will cost about £60 (plus extra bits for a sergeant conversion).

You're all crazy. He looks like he's carrying a fish.

^ It really does now that I think about it

You're right. Someone needs to make a Space Shark army and convert these into Hunter-Killer Missiles.

I like it. Definitely get some of them and the Iron armour they're selling some day.

I want RT era Plasma cannons:


Hideous, yet compelling, at the same time.

It's neat from a nostolgic point of view. I prefer the current devestator model.

...not as expensive as this forgeworld tech.

If FW are going to re-issue updates of the old RT weapons lets hope GW return to allowing some of the other weapons to be carried by SM.
I would love to be able to use my old conversion beamers,shoulder mounted autocannon and hand held assault cannon.
It will never happen as this would make vanilla marines strong again and we know GW wants to keep issuing new models and rules to make each "chapter of the month" the must have army.

I would give Forge World someone elses kidney for an updated conversion beamer.

WHY?
Tactical's can't use it in the current rules and its not very effective on a MOTF.
Any time I've used my MOTF/conversion beamer he is never in the situation where using it is his best option.
Now if GW reurned to allowing it as a Tac Squad heavy weapon........!
