Nah, they’ve said on the preview LI is all plastic. Well. Additions will be.

I got a renewed vigor for 30k
I keep up to date on most of the releases, but did they ever announce plastic bikers or any rumor of them?

I think its only air-speeders at the moment.

No indication of Spatha bikes coming whatsoever, no.

The closest indication is that bikers have been designed & released for LI, so there's a solid chance that a full scale design exists.

Probably more a question of when than if.

Little bikers! Totally forgot about those.

For me the weirder omission is that they haven't released scimitar bikers in mk3 armor, the kit was designed so that you all they need to do is swap 1 sprue out for the riders to make it happen.

They could be waiting for a Spatha biker set to do a new rider sprue that is cross compatible, then have direct only spathas and scimitar with the opposite riders.

Did anybody find an unboxing of the Melee weapons? I want to know what poses are possible on Tacticals or at least see the sprues.

Siiiigh.

Another Thursday rolls around. And as I brace for disappointment, hope remains.

Current theories say it might be the anthology novel that leaked, given it's not being listed in paperback prints of the SOT books. But after a 2 week gap that'd be a bit of a wet slap.

So let's recap, it's been 5? weeks since Heresy Thursdays resumed and we got (checks notes):

1) Melee Weapon sprue
2) there is no 2

Is Li apart of the Heresy Thursdays?

For some of us, Thursday has been and (almost) gone. So every Thursday is a disappointment in so far as lack of Heresy content goes. Friday's though have been noted for the occasional Heresy article.

Lets be honest though, as far as GW are concerned, that melee weapons sprue is so jam-packed full of stuff it's got to be at least worth 6 or maybe 7 weeks worth of Heresy content.

Yup.

Last ones were Dark Mechanicum (very groovy) then illustrated paint schemes for Solar Auxilia (interesting, but not what we’re there for)

Here's a question while we're waiting; Do the Dark-Mech walkers have void or ion shields?

Neither. They have Construct Shields.

Same immunities as Void Shields, but once down you can’t reignite.

In a squadron, all shields in the detachment must be stripped before you can get smashy smashy with the evil bug machines.

So, if I have a squadron of 6 Littler Ones, they’re Construct Shields [1]. The detachment can therefore absorb 6 hits from Light AT, Anti-Tank “no trait” and/or Shield Bane attacks, after that the squadron starts taking casualties.

Oh right. Not sure how they'll go about implementing those in Titanicus, but it'll be interesting to find out.

Same as LI I’d guess?

Squadron up ala Knights, count up and pool, and that’s your equivalent in Void Shields.

Gives them an interesting surviviability curve compared to Knights and Titans. Limited Sure Thing protectyness, but once it’s gone, you can’t get it back (don’t think there’s any way so far in LI to raise them back? Maybe a Formation. Will check)

Given your notes don't include the LI Mechanicum Battlegroup (Sep 26) or the smaller Dark Mech Spidery Things for LI (Oct 10th) alongside the melee weapons sprue (Oct 3rd), you might want to work on those note-taking skills.

Not arguing that GW have dropped the ball somewhat since the initial announcement at the end of August that Heresy Thursday would be returning, but there are three official sets of reveals there.

Back from checking. Definitely no current way to regain lost Construct Shields.

Cool beans. Thanks for checking, Doc.

HH players don't really view LI models as "new HH models". Just saying, old buddy.

I mean, that's completely not true though? You can't claim to speak for all HH players when HH:LI is a objectively a Heresy game.

It would be like saying KT isn't 40k or Warcry isn't AoS.

Nobody is disagreeing that Heresy Thursdays should have been better but pretending LI isn't a part of it when Titanicus was part of it before is just needlessly divisive.

Funny you should bring that up...

Black Library reveals are normally posted on Wednesdays. In terms of books, so far HH Thursday has only shown new rules content.

Free LI rules.

Disappointing for HH players but a very good thing for LI.

Could still be more later.

Probably not, but still possible.

Lets hope so!
