Was this updated as of my last checking? This is strange.

I love the models, LOTD was one of the handful of SM chapters to first take my interest.

Wow they really look awesome. GW really put some hard work in the making of these...

over and out avach

Legion of the damned squad - £20
Damned legionnaires 1 - £10
Damned legionnaires 2 - £10
Legionnaire multi-melta - £8

Convert the chappy into a commander and you have a small army to use, ok, it costs a hefty £225.20
but it will look good
BTW, i mean these as a chapter rather than a unit choice in an army

Good point!

Of course, that might mean that the scholars at GW's Ivory Tower don't think it is an issue.

But that's another issue...

But then we get to have a debate over whether they don't think it's an issue because he 'obviously' has two power fists, or that they don't think it's an issue because the Gauntlets are 'obviously' just one weapon.

Or maybe each Gauntlet counts as one weapon, with the underslung bolters counting as twin-linked?

OR maybe he's illegal, having four weapons?

MINDBOGGLING!

would make a cool counts as GK force though

Soo pretty.

Well, I guess I'm in line for damning then, because I will definitely be picking up the Sergeant (Chaplain conversion, here we come!) and the Heavy Flamer, minimum!

+1
That sergeant will make a damn fine chappy imo

I don't O had a pile of them back in the day that I was going to use as CSM but they got sold instead.

According to this post here:

http://www.warseer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4188918&postcount=172

over on Warseer, there are even MORE Legion of the Damned Models coming:

Damned Sergeant with Bolt Pistol and Power Weapon (1 Fig Blister) 2-Jan-10 US$15.00 New Metal
Damned Legionnaire with Flamer (1 Fig Blister) 2-Jan-10 US$13.25 New Metal
Damned Legionnaires 3 (2 Fig Blister) 2-Jan-10 US$16.50 New Metal
Damned Legionnaires 4 (2 Fig Blister) 2-Jan-10 US$16.50 New Metal

One of these will, allegedly, be the 'half skull face' version we saw previously as a green.

Sadly, they look to be direct only?

Wait for it....




DAMN!

Well looks like my army of legion of the damned based on the chaos codex and thousand sons will happen for sure now. Those are pretty modles indeed.

At least the sergeant can be bought separately, which is good right?

i still don't see the point in procucing metal minis...

Metal Mini's cost less overall to produce than plastics. The moulds for plastics cost heaps of money, so they have to sell thousands of them to make up for that cost. Models like Characters and Legion of the Damned which only some gamers will buy one of for their army (opposed to buying 10 plastic troop choices). So metal is cheaper to produce but costs more for the gamer.

Back on topic, I remember that flamer dude, I'm gonna hunt for a pic of him now. That'd be great, so there'll be more than 10 unique models for legion of the damned, sweet!! But if they're direct only does that mean that we cant buy them from our favourite discounted online shop?

Do we have to go to the dreaded www.gw of doom??

ps. daemonhunter1241 - legion are a loyalist chapter, they just got sucked into the warp and look all evil because their days are numbered, but they fight for the emperor.

BrookM wrote:At least the sergeant can be bought separately, which is good right?

Well, maybe!

This is a different model (bolt pistol vs. plasma pistol) than the one we've seen already.

If it is as good, then definitely!

If not, then I will still be 'forced' to buy the boxed set to get the really nice one...

These models are pants!

Where are the greens Ive seen, with bones protruding, half skull/helmet, older power packs etc?? I want THOSE LOTD, not these skull blinged regular marines painted to look like LOTD. Didnt we see pics of really done up LOTD? I want my LOTD to look like walking death, cursed souls that the fluff eludes to. Where are they?

I rather like the look of these, probably bite the bullet and buy a box (oooh, alliteration!)

I plan on making a Silver Skulls army with my leftover marine stocks. These guys would make great Sternguard for the Silver Skulls or maybe just use them as sergeant models for tac squads. The Damned Sergeant will likely become Chapter Master Argentius, with a little conversion work and maybe a weapon swap.

Curious to see the upcoming Damned models. Hope that one with the damaged helmet exposing the skull head is in that batch someplace.

I can't wait for 'picture proof' myself, but I will be doing so before purchasing any of the figures.

I have changed my avatar in commemoration of these awesome models.

Does anyone have any idea what the parts breakdown is on these yet? I'm intensely curious as to whether or not any of the shoulder pads on these things will be separate pieces... given the marine metals as of late, they usually aren't, but it would be fantastic if they were.

Alpharius wrote:I'm guessing I could buy the box, keep the sergeant and sell the rest.

(Damn you GW for canceling your bitz service!)

I would probably be willing to buy the leftovers.

All of the LotD models now showing for Advance Order are GW Direct Only with the exception of the boxed set of five models. The store items containing two models and store items containing single heavy weapon LotD models all have the Citadel "box in a circle" watermark on them indicating "direct only" sales. Occasionally, stores get a few as a "splash" on release weekend (e.g., Njal Stormcaller), but not always (e.g., Commissar Lord), so if you want to be guaranteed to get those models Direct ordering is the way to go. And the fact that most of these are Direct Only would seem to indicate that any possible future models in the range will also likely be Direct Only.

And, allegedly, there are more variations to come, that will also be 'direct only'.

These are the ones we're waiting to see pictures of...

Yeah. In addition to what's on GW's site, there's also...

Damned Legionnaires
Damned Legionnaire with Heavy Weapon
Damned Sergeant with Bolt Pistol and Power Weapon
Damned Legionnaire with Flamer
Damned Legionnaires 3
Damned Legionnaires 4

Are all things listed on the new releases trader information for January. I have no idea what "Heavy Weapon" is - probably a heavy bolter - or what the very first item in that list is, but it's indicated as being a 2-figure blister priced at $16.50 like all the other LotD ones.

The Flamer one is probably the same one as what's in the squad set, only sold separately, similar to how you can get a Grey Knight with Incinerator in the boxed set or in a separate blister. Legionnaires 3 and 4 will either be separate LotD models - which is plausible, as we've seen some parts, like the half-skull helmet that haven't been released yet - or maybe variations of the guys in the squad box.

To add to this. Just got new WD through door, and it confirms 6 more LotD models for Feb.

"Direct Only" - yawn.

If GW doesn't care enough to sell these through brick and mortar stores why should I care either? I like to support my LGS, not pay GW postage just because they don't want to offer their full range to retailers.

Most retailers can special order it for you.

The excuse is they're moving their metals to being more like "splash" releases.
