I bought a few sets of mk3 iron armour marines from FW and am considering buying more , however,

they have released this for the mk iv armour http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/LEGION_MkIV_POWER_WEAPON_SET.html

having examined the mk3 arms i have noticed the only difference is the grieve on the forearm compared to current plastic marine arms.


So if i were to cut a grieve off and file it out , i could potentially cast a mold and make these to stick onto other arms giving my minis more dynamic poses.

So my question is , does anyone know if there will be more legion specific weapon sets coming out ? as i dont want to do this work then have forgeworld release something better

As long as the Horus Heresy books don't fail (which doesn't seem likely) I expect they'll eventually have a model for just about everything. FW is efficient like that.

They rather do like producing, well, everything.

Otherwise, you can't really explain the Arvus Lighter or Aquila Lander.

Only thing is they're likely not priorities producing all the different weapon sets, especially when there's a new normal IA in the works for the new year.

For your case in particular, I'd say go for it, as the piece we're talking about is pretty simple; it's just an extra armour plate put on arms, and would give you more flexibility in use, along without ending up with superfluous weapons you may not necessarily use by buying the full kit.
