Cool blog, man. The Alpha Legion are epic, if you don't mind i'll be using them to influence my 'Nids.

Thanks guys.

You know a few pages back I said that Mark Bredford had 'promised' that Forge World would do Crusade-era Terminators? well...

They're Heeeeere!

im Loving them for my Night Lords

I woke up this morning as sick as a dog, but after checking my email and seeing the newsletter, well Now to find the money...

I know! they are great, perfect for my legion

I was just about to order a contemptor and a couple of mk IV kits but that'll have to wait another week or so because I will have to throw these boys in the mix.

Glad you like them, but they barely qualify as Pre-Heresy style terminators.

I was hoping for something more like this:



I like them well enough, but they just aren't the Pre-Heresy look I was hoping for...

You have to read the flavourtext Alpharius, these where late models produced in limited numbers at the very end of the great crusade. ''-Perhaps the most advanced form of Tactical Dreadnought Armour, the Tartaros pattern shares many systems with the MkIV ‘Maximus’ pattern of power armour, and provides greater mobility for its wearer than the Indomitus pattern with no loss in durability or protection. -FW''. This is the hightech version, the big and bulky design is another mark that more closly resembles the plastic kit Indominus-pattern armour. I would not be suprised if they released that version as an upgrade kit.
After all, they only need to make different shoulderpads, a heavy gorget and a new helmet.. and lots of leather straps

Oh I know, I'm just disappointed that "true" Pre-Heresy Teinators weren't released first.

These are certainly OK though!!

Alpharius what you're referring to is the 'Cataphractii' pattern terminator armour. It is noted for being exceedingly cumbersome and inefficient, but also the most well-protected of the 3

I love your Alpha Legion! All your work is great but the AL are the prize in my eyes!

Which, of course, will mean nothing rules wise and we'll just be stuck with those ugly ass shoulder pads, torsos, and helmets.

dont get upset but deathwatch pads go on left arm.
peace

^ Not if they're ex-deathwatch.
If he was still in the Deathwatch you'd be right, but also his armour would be black and his left arm silver.

Hehe, I know it's on the wrong arm, it just looks better with the bulky shoulderpad on the side that will take most fire, you'll see what I mean once I finish his boardingshield.
Also, it's kind of stolen equipment too.

Bah. There's only right and wrong when you're painting/modeling canon. Do what looks cool is my only rule of thumb.

Dear Forge World.. You know I like you very much eventhough I don't buy as many of your things as I want to (mostly because of my quite lean studentloans and rampant expenses for keeping a roof over my sorry ass) I still has made an effort to afford at least my long coveted Contemptor, a MkIV armourkit or two and if I slash down on foods a little those nifty new terminators will also find a nice home and a lick of indigo paint.

While I do find your latest endeavour quite worthwhile in price and design.. where the hell am I going to find those extra £80? Forge World o Why do you TEMPT ME SO!

Storm Eagle Gunship, ... you devious, genious bastards. Just take my VISA-card and let's be done with it!

Wow that looks really cool, where did you find that? Cant see it anywhere on their site.

Here I findz, well.. some guy on Warseer did. I just looted it and ran.

Good going, I'm trying to think of how to change the weapon load out to that of the original Stormraven then its going on my to get list.

Ya, thats pretty much amazing. £80 total or £80 + storm raven kit?

Total, s' a complete kit Hits. She's a real beauty.. just wait until I get my hands on her.

I love the look of that ship! FW just needs to do all the models for GW!

It was in the newsletter this morning and seeing my chapter symbol on the side just made me drool even more after seeing this

So this normal raven thing can be used by normal marines? and not just by Blood-beard marines?
Peace

Experimental rules showed on FW open day says it's a Fast Attack option for Codex: Space Marines, Dark Angels, Space Wolves & Black Templars.

BA has to make do with the stormraven. No Stormeagles for them!

you have a link for the rules?
