I think it looks good but not worth the price for me.

I would have liked to see them do something different, I know they're all about plastics these days but how about some resin minis, like 1 special character of each type of armor from MK1 till now? Even those terminators that looked like the round fellas from the 5th Element.

If the mini came fully painted to that standard, even an old cynic like me might have been tempted.

Thanks a lot Chikout

How to drybrush Space Marines? I imagine in the same way you drybrush every other fething thing. Ugh - GW, if you insist on triggering people's nostalgia for Ye Olden Tymes, you're going to have to step up your game on the content you provide around said nostalgia; at one stage painting articles actually tried to teach people advanced techniques.

**Chikout**

Sorry. Stupid attachments.

Drybrush a Space Marine? Heresy!!!!

In all my years in the hobby, I've never heard of anybody drybushing a space marine. Smooth armour plates and clean lines make for an easy painting experience IMO, even for an average painter like me.

Why would you need to drybrush? Why?

WTF

**Zywus**

I tried drybrushing some back in the day when it was more or less the only technique I used on everything.

Needless to say, the result on Space marines were quite unimpressive.

Hero Spotlight: Marneus Calgar

Really? Really? Yeah, we definetely need to hear more about Marneus Calgar.

**JohnnyHell**

Surely Calgar needs another size/armour update to Centurion armour now?

**Big_Mek_Gazguzzla**

I mean, sure, with certain colours dry brushing has its place with your marines, but it's not nearly as useful as the more often touted wash and edge highlight approach GW usually spruiks.

Oh well, should be good for a laugh.

I am going to try calling my GW's manager to see if I can pay for one ahead of time so I don't miss out. I suppose if I get back from Wisconsin in time I might be able to pick one up but I don't want to chance it. I have recently gotten a bit of a Beakie obsession.

They can't really do things like that from my understanding, since if they put the item through ahead of time it would be an issue.

Maybe ask if you could put the exact amount it would be onto a gift card ahead of time and then have him hold you one?

**casvalremdeikun**

Codex Supplement: Angels of Death, huh? I wonder if that will be worth it.

**Necros**

I drybrush everything, even space marines

step 1 - use a colored primer to save time.
Step 2 - paint in solid colors
step 3 - slather on the nuln oil
step 4 - ???
step 5 - Drybrush highlights - optional depending on how lazy I feel

I do it on my CSM for a look that is weathered without being quite dirty.

Most of the time it just looks bad though.

28 new psychic powers coming too according to Scanner on the spikey bits forum. He mentioned chaos too, though didn't say more than that.

The rare exception to the never drybrush space marines, is of course, Nurgle Marines. It is the only group that it works well with.

I remember when the current citadel paint range was released a few years back, they gave away a leaflet which showed every colour and a guide to painting an Ultramarine:

Base, shade, dry, layer, glaze, and texture the base. Looking at each stage right now, if you removed the dry stage, it makes absolutely no difference to the result. I honestly think it was a GW move to get kids to buy an extra pot of paint.

**Vorian**

Or to show them every "type" of paint - they should have thrown on some blood for the blood god to complete the set though!

£18 for a single 28mm plastic figure, artificially limited as they could churn out as many as they like from the mould. Gone are the days when something like this would have free on the front of White Dwarf.

I don't think a miniature like this would ever have been a freebie. The Emperor's Champion wasn't, Sergeant Centurion wasn't, none of the many White Dwarf models ever were, to my knowledge.

**Rosebuddy**

It looks nice but that's just too much to ask for it. If this was a set of ten than I would gladly buy a box but if this is all I'd rather spend that money on the old metal originals.

How did he lost all his limbs in a battle against hive fleet Perseus? Why his bionic eye is now on the other side? Where his alien raptors have been gone?

Spread aross all races? Or just marines/chaos?!

**Talys**

Love the model, hope I can get it at FLGS or at least web store. I don't want to drive out to the GW, lol.

Don't be ridiculous, Space Marines don't get Str D! I look forward to making my own version of this dude if I don't end up getting one. I have a newfound love of Beakie Marines.

no no no... they get "d weapons" (little d!)

I'm scared...

**Chikout**

The repackaged boxes are all discounted to varying degrees. The 20 cultists plus aspiring champion for £28 doesn't sound too bad.

**reds8n**

..Bloody hell, those new powers will certainly mix things up a bit.

Intrigued to see what formations the loyalists will get too, pleased to see the Sallies get some attention too.

.... now if GW will just give my Iron Hands res. protocols then...

Me too, I've been progressing at glacial pace, but the whole idea of my CSM when it's done revolves around the BL Supplement rules..

**Kanluwen**

I'm in for the Company Command set. I want a second one of the Shadow Force Solaq Captains.

**Warhams-77**

Lots of stuff... And... These are the FW Thunderhawks, right?

**Slayer-Fan123**

Whoa, we're getting CSM minor updates AND more rules? Color me excited!

Now there might be a reason to actually run Salamanders!
