Does that termi (second from the right) have a Cyclone Missile Launcher?

[EDIT]: And... removed. "This video has been removed by the user.".
For those interested in the content:
Starts with Ahriman giving a speech about how it is time to take the fight to the Wolves. Another 1KSons sorcerer calls him a traitor, and that they don't forget what he did to their legion (I love the fact that they're playing this aspect of the fluff up, that the 1KSons are divided). Magnus stops the argument, stating that they are all his sons, and that the Wolves will fall.
He talks about loyal forces, and those that were with Ahriman (basically), showing flashes of Power Armour and Terminator Armour 1KSons. He talks about how they will go to Fenris, with shots of a 1KSons with a cool assault cannon thing. 1KSons Sorcerers riding discs. There's a Tzaangore with an Auto-Pistol. Lots of shots of Magnus.
It's all black and white pictures with subtle movements and lighting effects.
Very cool.
Thanks man
And now that the pictures are up, time to hyperventilate! Forever!

The old Ahriman was a pretty good mini, but the new one is just stunning. Seeing how good these minis are makes me even more excited for the aos Arcanites release and the loc.
Look man, any army with 2 wounds has got a lot going for it.

The Polito form is dead, insect. Are you afraid? What is it you fear? The end of your trivial existence?
When the history of my glory is written, your species shall only be a footnote to my magnificence.
Actually it looks like you get one on foot, one with a jump pack (the one that's 'farting') and one on a disc.

Wow. Very impressed. There's some really nice models there. I'm not interested in Tzeentch, and this doesn't really change that, but I really love that Ahriman model. It does the original justice, I feel. I may pick one up (and hit eBay for a couple of single Rubrics). I can already picture a sweet diorama with them battling some Grey Knights or Dark Angels.
That seems like an awful lot of flamethrowers there with the Rubrics. What's up with that?
Crazy question for those who play AOS, would it be possible to use these guys as Counts-As Stormcast? Assuming they have the rumored close combat loadouts, would it be possible to do this?

Actually I think it's his new pimp collar from his robe. Mean threads dude, bad rags bro...

Stormcasts are the same size as Terminators. These dudes would be a bit small.

Noticed that too. I counted 5 AND an assault/rotor cannon. Also, love the reimagining of TSons on the cover.
Overall awesome minis but like others, I'm gonna get the dex first before I spend all my money.
The new Ahriman does look awesome. I loved the old sculpt though it was a bit clunky and love that he does not have his bolter in his hand.
They did the old one justice just like the new Eldrad. Both capture the spirit without the need to fill both hands with weapons just to show case them.

Didn't expect quite that many kits. Terminators seemed like an outside shot, and the sorcerers set was out of nowhere. Hope we see character sets like that in the future as well. I'd pay, $50 for a set of a foot, jump, and mounted character for marines or orks or dark eldar.

Maybe it's just loadout options for versatility. Like how chosen can equip 5 flamers if they want.

The Sorcerers look great, the Marine Squad is fantastic (and 10-man, not an overpriced 5-man box) and seems to have tons of special weapons, the Terminators are delicious, and that Ahriman sculpt is simply fantastic (far better than what they did to Kharn.
The only downside is that whilst I like the Tzaangors... they are basic single-pose minis like the plastic Cultists. There are 5 poses, you get 2 of each. Genestealer Hybrids these are not!
That's the odd part. I expected the tzanngors to be a 40k/aos release with separate arm sprues.

They look like we can get creative with them. I like the mask helms and hope there are enough for all the birdy beauty boys.
They do not look that monopose to me. It looks like arms, torsos, legs and heads could be switched around creatively. I managed to make my necron warriors and immortals in distinct enough poses but I have not seen the sprue.
I still love em anyway!!

Wow. They really went above and beyond the call of duty.
I really really REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY did not expect... well, anything other than a plastic magnus kit (which I assumed to be a collector's piece) and a plastic thousand sons kit. Just because it fits the bill for how they treat chaos. Is this the beginning of physical therapy for the Chaos Space Marines?
