Would you say that it is easy to magnetize then? Because its a bit expensive and seems that it you could magnetize it without it looking bad

If a man truly wants to magnetise his arms I think he will.

Tlotsqi over at Warseer also confirmed Haemunculus, Wracks (26€) and Grotesques for June (WD next week will show), all probably Finecast.

I would say magnetizing is unnecessary. I'll take a picture later and show you how they stick on the arm.

Anyone have a real pic of the talos next to something like the above cronos?

Here is a shot of the Talos compared to a AOBR dred and a sexy spase marine

Nice conversion that

Hell yes! I reminds them what their fighting for!

This is the arm and weapon pod for a Talos/Cronos. As you can see, it's a pretty heft peg. Friction keeps it on pretty well and if it doesn't, I just add a little glue and smooth it out to make it more snug. (Letting the peg dry with the pod off, of course.)


Here's some more shots of the Talos, now list-legal and showing off the different tail positions and anti-grav hip pods:





These are the tiny, creepy, vestigial arms.

Thanks Foo. I don't think it'll need magnets anymore. Those little arms look like hey would be great for haemoculous kitbash/conversions

I really wish it came with ordinary spikes to put in instead of those wracks on the back. They really don't look all that great. I'll probably have to use a ton of leftover daggers or some of the left over jetbike pieces to make some. Or just fill in the holes.

But overall they look really nice.

The more and more I see pictures of the Talos, the more I want them.

Far far better in person, been to my GW store and saw them, awesome.

The Chain Flail + Dual Liquifier is def the best looking weapon outfit. Its a shame its illegal and even if it was legal would be rather expensive. Im going to arm mine as such and use it as either a Chain Flail or Dual Liquifier.

Errr. No. The Talos can upgrade a cc weapon to a dual liquifer. The Talos can buy an addition cc weapon. This weapon reverts to the top and can be given chainflails. Page 94. It's cut and clear.

...That makes sense. That's a pretty scary combo, if legal!

Mind you, it says "replace one of its CC weapons" not "replace a CC weapon". I'm not sure you can.

The Cronos has a different rack for the back which you could use instead. There are also some extra spiky antennae and blades that are meant to be used in the vestigial limb holes, but could probably fit up top if you wanted.

then wouldnt you be able to replace both CCWs with TW liquifiers?

It's page 92. My bad.

You may, "replace one of it's close combat weapons with one of the following..." I misread it early and stand corrected. Even with two close combat weapons, you can only replace one of them.

I made this quickie overpaint to show what I mean...



Back to staring at my nids...
Cheers

Has anyone noticed the vents on the one closer to the camera below the cockpit, could that one actually be the void raven and the one further away be the razorwing?
I cant see them including two different "tops" in the one box.

Ok I just read the post with the picture my bad haha

I would say it's the opposite. The one closer to the camera seems smaller actually, if you look at the cockpit's connection to the tail, etc. I suspect the one closest is the razorwing fighter and the one in the back is, perhaps, the voidraven bomber - it's clearly a bit longer, etc.

IDK. The closer one looks more like a bomber to me. The cockpit placement and it looks slightly heavier

I think, the one in the front is just photoshopped, as the poster of said photo admitted in the post

Minor update: It will be 5 wracks per box and one grotesque per new blister, all Finecast.

Any idea of the pricing? Haemonculi covens could get very expensive!

The size comparison pics are so off >.< they need to be put in the exact same distance. Some pics the Talos looks really big , and evidentally when the distance is reversed , the marine looks Talos sized.

All these new Dark Eldar are blowing a colossal hole in my wallet. On order;
2x Raiders
2x Ravagers
2x Venoms

Will order;
2x Haemonculi
1x Razorwing

My hard-earned cash is floating away...

Judging based entirely on current GW trends I would say: too god-damned much.

I've seen the model(s) in person, and I can say the Talos is about the same size as a Dreadnought, so rest assured it is not Marine sized
