just replace the head with a helmet and be fine (though use a Primaris helmet and use the model as loyalist Apothecary would also work)

Yeah, that's what I did to the likes of Plaguecaster and Felthius. Good thing headswaps are usually not that hard to do.

Looking at the Wardens...

I give GW some points for making the ranged profiles unified. Different number of shots, but everything is BS3+ S4 AP-1 D1.
Of course, some have Heavy, which would adjust the hit roll... So they lose some points for that. Still, on the move, you can just tally up the number of shots and roll them all together.

Set already has two heads, so just change them. The smile would give the wounded Marine a Slaaneshi vibe.

Blender. He has anti-infanty 2+ and his unit has sustained hits. Crits on a 2+ with 8 swings base? At S5 ap-1 and 2d. That’s going to make units just go away.

Also his “press the attack” does not say “while leading a unit” just models in his unit. So he keeps it, even if you kill his squad, unlike most leaders.

Do leaks get covered here or is that a no-go?

They do. We've been talking about the Red Corsair/Eldar Corsair one for pages.

Sustained Hits and Anti-[X] don’t interact with one another, at least.

Oh, whoops. It's hard to keep track of this thread sometimes

Appreciate the info!

Was that erratad? I know you can’t get more hits on the sustained ones, but anti=crit, and sustained=more on crit. So he should end up hitting like 14ish times?

Sustained Hits is on the Hit Roll, Anti-X is on the Wound Roll. They don't interact.

**Dudeface**

He seems a bit good but not game-ending, in 6 victrix in a land raider and say "dare you to come near me" is - I imagine - the suggested use. Leave the ragtags at home.

Victrix are good to go with any captain, he might make a good contender for leading hellblasters with sustained hits and an apothecary though.

Thanks for clarifying. My bad. I blame devestaing wound interaction trauma. Or just my brain failing. Need to schedule my next rejuve treatment…

Putting the interesting speculation aside?

I bloody love that rogue Apothecary. From the demented, worryingly joyful grin, down to the nice merging of Loyalist and Chaos Aesthetics.

The Narthecium is a thing of genuine beauty, being notably bulky with just a hint of “this is actually more ‘urty than it absolutely needs to be”.

My sole criticism, and something that probably fairly easy to “fix”? I’d have had a Loyalist all hacked and mangled and his bottom burned off at his feet. But even then? That grin isn’t suggestive of someone there to help you. It’s someone stoked they get to play Doctors & Sadists once again.

All the tools work nicely together, suggesting different purposes for each, but in a way that doesn’t clash.

Its just beautifully realised.

I’m also liking the so far common design element of a curved notch in the right pauldron.

Huron has it, this lad has it, and so does his patient/victim.

I don’t think we’ve seen that on other Astartes?

I wonder how they will "Blend in" the Red Cosairs;

Maybe a mix of CSM and HH Mk6 Marines Bits/Sprues?

**Lathe Biosas**

Please tell me this isn't real... I don't think my clockwork heart can handle this.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

So far? They seem to be going down the Early Heresy Aesthetic.

Power Armour patched and fixed due to the rigours of war. The odd “suspicious” symbol or emblem, but yet to see the more outrageous mutations and other physical signs of chaos corruption.

Garreon is a solid example there. As in my quoted post, his gear isn’t standard issue, but still looks practical, if a bit hurtier than it absolutely needs to be, given their surgical aids.

No official models in sight as far as I can tell.

Happy to be wrong, but looks like AI generated stuff.

Battlesuit in the right hand middle ground is like a semi-remembered Ghostkeel. Everything else isn’t an existing model.

**Desert Dave**

Oh look Hulkbuster armor on the left background seems to have joined the empire!

Sadly everything in that photo is new and its highly unlikely GW would do that yet. Could be wrong though. They do look cool in fairness.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Biggest give away?

Regard the hand holding the…sword? Big hammer? Mace?

Notice it’s five digits. Tau have four on their hands, and only four.

Five fingers...

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Now, I’m sure it’s not real, as in not a real GW model.

But I’m softening on AI generated, as perhaps it’s just a conversion based on a Gundam or similar base model?

Also, there's not a single existing Tau model in the background army...

Thanks! I saw this thirty-third hand, and while it didn't feel legit. I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

(I'm still disappointed that the Beserker Surgeon didn't pan out either.)

None of that even looks like GW's aesthetic...
