Looking forward to the Wastelands releases.

However due to the incompetence of GW Australia having 2 weeks off over Christmas (fair enough) then moving their warehouse to the opposite side of Sydney, without telling staff. Having several resign as they could not travel that far, have the computer order system fail, then hire and train new staff to replace the old ones, I am still waiting on the Squat book and extra weapons that are now 8 weeks post ordering, from my FLGS.

Love the rope ladder, I imagine someone beeing hunted by an ambull and they manage to pull him up in the last second.

I would love to have one to make a base camp for my aeldari biker scouts.

I'm probably going to get the new guys and the upgrade sprue. I still haven't put together the guys from my Ash Wastes box, so plenty of upgrade fodder.

I kind of like the tower too, but I'm also dreading the price. If I *did* get it, I would probably spread the parts around all the other hab modules from the AW box. Which I also still haven't put together.

I might have been tempted by the walls if it was 1 regular, 1 ruined and 1 data stacks. But I don't really need 3 ruined wall sets.

The Hab Module looks really good. But yeah, the price would put me off, most certainly.

Two ruined and a normal wall would have been great. And it's coming out too close to both kreig and the mechanicum tanks for my wallet.

I do plan to get an armored hab though, as that is unique, not just a reprint. I'm rather curious about mixing the parts onto a double wide instead of a single, how that would look

Mark me down in the column for "That tower looks so cool but not I'm not willing to spend $X" where $X is whatever flapping insane price GW will charge for it.

The anti-climb spikes are an amazing detail

Same, the Ash Wastes habs are already some of the most ridiculously priced GW kits, unless the addon sprue is added to the kit for free I'm not interested

Ruined ZM walls triple bundle is nice but too many copies of the same pieces, especially since I already have one kit.

You want a Rogue Astartes? You got a Rogue Astartes

New model reveal - Vandoth the Fallen



Edit - fixed URL, and noting I was ninja'd

Excellent! Hell of a model and one more for the list

A rouge Rogue Astartes!

It’s a nice touch using the Rogue Trader era Blood Angels Orange scheme.

Good spot. He’s very old! I like the fact that a legionnaire is still out there, likely fighting dæmons of the mind

Interesting that the artwork and model dont match. I mean, the artwork has him wearing Genestealer Cult styled armour…

It is probably a nice model, but I wish they'd shown more angles.

Blood Angles?

Abd rules which say heavy carapace armour akin to the art.

I think I prefer the model version. Very clearly power armour plates with random bits strapped to it to replace damaged parts. No backpack so no power supply and carapace it is

Usually the 2d art doesn't translate from the page as good as it could when made into a miniature, but in my opinion this is a vast upgrade from the art.

Could be a coincidence, but I really like the backpack/bedroll that makes it look like the silhouette of an Astartes backpack-reactor thingy.

It is the same case as the Hermaphage Magos. The Original Art resembled more the Biophagus than an actual Tech Priest. (though I kind of wonder if the Malstrain version and the Purestrain version might be different forms?)

What an awesome model. Specialist Games just keep knocking it for six.

Kind of wish they didn’t lean into him being a Blood Angel. I think it could setup for a better story if he was Dark Angel legionnaire.

DA would be a little on the nose given the name, and BA fits better with the blood drinking.

I'm not sure I like the mask on the face, and has been pointed out by others, more than one angle of the Angel would've been nice in these preview articles.

People on Bolter and Chainsword were obsessing about the chapter and the specific lore too. It doesn't matter. Just paint him however, give him new name if you want to, use whatever lore you want.

Love the rogue astrates... Imagine a faction of those.

Looks cool. Maybe missed opportunity to make him one of the lost legions?

I think that's what you call Chaos

I'm assuming it's making up a character based on Comus Nocturnus from the Bequin novels.

Yes. One of the worst encounters in the series…
IMHO what makes the books awesome is the (almost) total lack of SMs - focusing on (mostly) normal humans.
Introducing Chaos Raptors (?) and Comus was a clear downgrade.

I will probably paint him as an Imperial Fist gone feral as this is more in line with Necromunda fluff.

Given the amusing wonk of Inquisitors rules, where a Marine throwing pebbles hits harder than his Bolter, I’d always fancied running a feral Astartes as an antagonist

And now, I’ve a model for that.
