Surprised they didn't show off the Axeman option for the unit. Studio not done painting a squad?

I would bet that axes are a separate kit as they likely couldn't find room on the sprue.

Not sure if I'd prefer an extra sprue like the Marine special and heavy weapons or an entirely separate kit that could have different poses (but won't).

LOLWUT.

That is something you do once. Maybe twice if you are particularly thick.

And lived long enough to get MkVI armor? They would have to be hard as coffin nails.

Yes, suspect it's a mix of truth and made up stuff i.e. 18 sided dice is not actually possible, green plastic and Salamanders are definitely possible, I'd be surprised at push fit models but who knows...

arrived at our store today, a store that is on top of their game, to find out that GW delivered everything to the owner except the main HH rule books. No explanation. I wonder if they are doing this to try to shift a few more box sets. So frustrating.

No, the warehouse is just that terrible at their jobs. And it isn't just Trade accounts, the local shop dude also has stuff just not show up in orders as well. Did he get the completely unsolicited Objective coin sets? No idea what those are for, guess they will get used for event support.

Sales reps have no idea what is in or out of stock, so an order will arrive with 20-40%+ missing because those codes were out of stock, but at least there is an extra 10 boxes of Mandrakes that were not ordered at all.

And it isn't like you can ask for an invoice since they think that order hasn't shipped despite receiving it the previous week. Which means it isn't visible in their system somehow. Yet the warehouse was able to pick and ship some random collection of product and send it to an address.

If it wasn't for the fact that the product lines are massively popular, I am shocked that they haven't collapsed under their own befuddlement.

So you think GW would use counterfeit models for in-house promotional material because you think an employee of the company wouldn't be able to buy them?

Hate to break it to you big dog, but GW staff get a discount on everything, and if they're HQ staff the FW store is literally on the same premises.

I have been in group orders for Chinese recast items with GW staff. Staff discount isn't THAT good.

Im fairly sure he was confusing the Errata which is 7 pages, there is no way GW can do all 18 legions in 7 pages.

As much as people want to crap all over GW for this, I don't think that was ever the plan to have it be that small.

Nah, that tracks with the amount of effort the rules portion of this project appears to be getting.

This pict really drives it home for me. Anyone saying the old models were superior to the new one, take a deep breath, blink a couple times and take a look at this - still think the new one's are rubbish?

Yeah. Other than the size queen obsession with scale creep, the new porportions are gangly and whatever is inside doesn't have the feeling that it is a wall of meat like Marines are (used to be) described as.

I will give credit to the new sculpt in having the arms attach to the shoulders in a way that makes anatomical sense.
