Newly announced, the Tactical Rock is sure to sweep gamers off their feet, get yours now!

Dang it this is going to eat into my soulblight budget!

Thats the new Golden demon Podium right?

Y’know what’s really annoying?
I actually kinda want one.

Piss poor effort on the part of GW. At a bare minimum, I'd have expected spare bits for the player to optionally and acrobatically balance precariously on hair or ribbons at a bare minimum. Why does GW always screw over Eldar players like this! Obviously, you'd have to sign a liability waiver at the GW store counter along with payment before receiving the purchase.

I'm 6'5" and 365lbs (Roughly 2meters and 166kg for the free world) I demand a larger tactical rock for my posing on. This one size fit's all is nonsense.

They should really do scale equivalents for 25mm, 32mm and 40mm.

Removed - show some class please.

They should absolutely have these for the conventions they go to. 100% would at least take a pic on one of these bad boys. Imagine the opportunities for lighting effects!

Pair these with a prop bolter, chainsword, hammer, etc would make for a great souvenir photo op.

Obvious April Fool Is Obvious.

But, Y’know? From the piccies, I think this might actually do an exist for real. Probably for just that.

Guess time will tell.

Too many would strip down and look like a Great Unclean One. Myself included

Honestly if I had the time & could be bothered, I could see making a couple of bases and taking them to cons, rent them to cosplayers for photo ops

Needs a carry case. Magnetic or foam?

The magnets needed to secure that to a case would wipe all hard drives in a 10m radius.

Primarisized forum user confirmed. The poster scale creep is real!

Indeed. Just convert the measurements to freedom inches and... bam! You're done.

And be a tad cost prohibitive... and you would need to be in really good shape to pry those suckers off a metal surface.

To be fair, you could fit a chunk of gear under there. Install some electromagnets, flip a switch, and maglock your base to the hull.

Ya know, you could probably make something like this mostly out of stuff you find at your local Home Depot (or similar store).
They make round wooden boards for tables and the like, decorative plastic rocks, some tufts of fake grass. Plastic skulls left over from Halloween...
I'm just trying to think of what you could use for the chamfered rim.

I just noticed the weight listed in the product announcement, almost 5 stone! That's a pretty hefty chunk of plastic there.

And with appropriate bindings (possibly liberated from skis) then we are car surfing our way to the tournament screaming and pointing the entire way

Next you'll be having players make land speeders out of deodorant containers or some other ridiculousness!

Wow! Almost like Paulie from the last Reacher season (2.18, 160). That's Space Marine proportions, imposing OO ! For me it would be like carrying a 90+kg backpack, I can imagine my knees snapping like twigs when jumping or running OO Quite amazing, having the muscle mass to put such a body to work. You really deserve an appropriately sized Tactical Rock.

Me too lol

Everyone I know wants one

The club will make one for cosplay photo shoots for sure

I wonder if you could use one as a shell for a Roomba...

Now I want to see a roomba with a bunch of those plush rippers on top cruising around devouring all the dirt and biomass.

Or a swarm of Scarabs, when the new plushies get released?

It would fit with the Warhammer Armoury LARP gear.

Christmas a couple years ago at the Warhammer store in Texas.

May have the size, but I do not have the Build...or the boots
