No one uses the sticks, because they are not accurate.. take the ones you have and measure them up to a tape measure, 1inch is not 1inch on those sticks.. some times they are off as much as a 1/2 inch in either direction.

As for the Hellbrute, it looks very aesthetically similar to a dreadnought, especially the old old ones, which looked very much like a living creature, than a machine.

I'm not a fan either, of the Chaos in particular, although much of the Dark Angel stuff is good.
Good to see I'm not alone! Chaos is almost a caricature of itself now...
Wait so, GW go back to the original Chaos twisted biomechanical aesthetic, rather than Emo Marines, and that's a caricature?
If anything, for a long while now Chaos has just been a pale shadow of the Loyalists, half the time you couldn't tell whether someone was playing a Chaos warband or a DIY Loyalists chapter until they told you, and this revision of the original look gives them back their unique character.

I'LL THROW IT ON THE GROUND! I'm not a part of their system! I don't need yet another chaplain for a $50 upcharge. They tried to sell me a limited edition objectives dice set for $16.99. They even said they would give me a 6th edition poster if I bought it. I THREW IT ON THE GROUND! I just went there for paints. Don;t try to up sell me, man. I even want those markers, but I don't want their bs anymore.
I resent GW with a passion. They eat their young. I plan on buying this. However, GW may have done irreparable damage with their lack of integrity. If I decide to buy it, I will do so from a 3rd party company. The cold war against GW must continue.

IMHO, I really like the Hellbrute - Harriticus hit it on the head, he is very reminiscent of the RT-era Chaos Dreadnought in the "bio-mechanical" aesthetic
I don't play DA, but I'm going to get one of the Assault Cannon Terminators just for the cool pose.

The hypocrasy in this is hilarious. I hate them! So I'll keep giving them money!
Even if you buy it from a 3rd party company, GW got the initial sale when that company stocked it, and will get more when they restock it. You're not fighting the system.

As a Chaos player I'll definitely be buying this. The Hellbrute and Chosen in particular look amazing, and the cultists are great too. I don't really need them for my army [I play Slaanesh and the army is pretty much complete] but I just feel the need to own them as I know I'll regret it if I don't. The only thing that might sneak into my army is the Hellbrute but it's competing with a FW Decimator [which is about my favourite model ever].
The PA marines I have no use for but the termies will come in very handy as I bought a copy of Space Hulk without the marines and these sculpts are about as good.
Refused to buy the big rulebook so mini one is a bonus.
Can't wait.

I'm waiting for the "secret E-mail" about the "Lets keep this a secret" E-mail.
I envision a vicious stream of E-mails from GW headquarters.

At the very least, there's going to be a sprue with 4 of each cultist type, the cultist heavy weapons guy, 3 tactical marines, 1 terminator, and one chosen, and maybe some biker parts too? There will be two of those sprues in the box.

Funny though it would be to do this, along with a demotivational poster of a rainbow painted Lictor with the caption "Secrecy: Ur Doin It Wrong" it would further tighten the ball gag on info releases.
Safe to say, when they find out they are going to be PISSED.
