Yeah, the sized are super off. The Y'vahrah uses regular riptide plastic legs, and this is a FW comparison to a riptie.

They aren't. Obviously they're just two pieces of artwork side by side, like those color plates from GW codices, and aren't being displayed in the correct scale. The XV9 is either scaled up or the other is scaled down.

Yeah exactly. The colour plates like this are always separate in the books so they're all the same scale as there's nothing else with them to show size normally, and they're just the same size as each other here to fit on the slide.

That's my phone case. It gets around. It's on several of Games Workshop's social media posts and photos because I tend to leave it laying around Warhammer World during tournaments.
After I took these photos, a nice guy walked up and said he was a games developer who was looking to work on a game of a more epic scale. Because we'd been cooing at the big guns, he asked if we knew about the larger models and if we gamed. Had a nice conversation with four of us giving feedback on that. He asked many other people I'm certain.
We said that one of the most important parts as gamers, regardless of platform was the ability to build an army, not be given a set bunch of things to use.
I wonder what will come of that.

4-6 IIRC. But you can take just one as a 'bodyguard' for an Iron Warriors character.

No idea fluff wise but the "Shield Of The Iron Tyrant" rule calls for a unit of at least four models instead of a command squad.
That is one expensive choice, in terms of cash and points. Some £208 and some 820 pts, throw in Perturabo and you have a 1200 point 5 man unit.

No idea why, but part of me wants to say 7. The Iron Circle model is huge btw - there's a pic floating around somewhere of one next to a space marine, and it's about twice the height, if not a little more.

I believe you only need 4 in order to get the special bonuses his personal Iron Circle retinue gets. You can probably still have him attached to a smaller unit like a normal IW IC.

It's a high price but perfectly consistent given its size. It's practically Contemptor sized and it's a legion specific units; if there weren't a general premium on that size of model already they'd have likely charged more.

Anyone want to take some guesses on the Heavy Railgun Array and Meteor missile stats of the new weapons?
I think its obvious the new HRA will be a single target D weapon but anything else? Seems like a waste to have only a single shot so might be a few.
As for the missiles I can't even fathom. The default pulse ordinance array is already wide area attack with massive blasts. And they don't look like they have volume of fire like other models that pack missiles.
