Furioso/Libby Dread, Stormraven, and BA Battleforce all went up this morning. No apparent news about other chapters getting the chibi-hawk.

Yay!! Flying Lego eggbox ftw!!

Sorry couldn't resist.
If you like and you enjoy, then is good

This is the single ugliest vehicle I have ever seen, seriously...

What were they thinking?

Lets chop a thunderhawk in half and add some dakka! but don't actually scale it down to what would be normal with it's length! that should do it!

AND HOW THE HELL DO MELTA'S WORK ON A PLANE?

"Oh my god, we'r crashing, all engines are out!"
"Good, now we can finally be in range for the melta's before we plunge to our fiery death"

WHAT THE HELL?

Hmm now it is time to chaosify the dread or loot it into a deff dread might get two of em.

Um its an aircraft design for assaults and rapid troop deployment... its meant to get close to the enemy

Lol, there is already a thread made for ranting about design and price/being excited!

Price is steep, but places like Battleroad will certainly help mitigate that!

I am VERY dissapointed though that there are no new metal characters... Mephiston and Corbulo were absolutely begging for it...

Also very dissapointed the BA battleforce only includes DC as from all the amazing BA plastics running around... and, Tacs and Rhino instead of Assault and Dread??? wtf?

Good thing it's design seems to represent that >_< a brick looks more aerodynamic.

Putting a tactical squad in the Battleforce completely ruined any potential value the battleforce may have had.

The Stormraven is still incredibly ugly.

The dreadnought kit is nice.

3/10

Yeah the only thing worse to put in the battleforce would have been scouts over tactical marines. Oh well, better luck next time

I kinda like the clusmy awkward look of the stormraven. It's like a widdle baby airplane. DAWWWWW

Also anything with that many guns on it is instantly cool in my book. Even if it is essentially a flying brick (which seems very much in the spirit of 40k)

Also good to see they're still doing battleforces, maybe that means the DE might get one soon.

And the dreads are nice of course.

Yeah, don't put a nigh on compulsory Troops choice in there! Replace them with Sanguinary Guard, an expensive Elite unit, which can only be an expensive Elite Unit, and available to your army in very limited numbers......

Is it the photo angle or are those multiple bolters on the side unable to fire forwards due to the thrusters being directly in front of them?!?

Looks like it XD

Shred your forward thrusters with your own hurricane bolters...

I'll have multiple furiosos but maybe just 1 "chibi-hawk" as it could be saved somehow , I hope.

at the moment i don't really like the raven it still looks ungainly to me.the dreadnoughts on the other hand look sweet.in particular the death company one.

I guess you all missed this thread:
