Damn forgot about those yesterday.

They did have the new predator variants but they sold out pretty quickly.

Seconded. Still waiting for cataphracts here. Will Hayes needs to get to work.

Pretty much my whole PH army is converted from other bits, these new FW models have made people lazy (and taken the magic out of it a bit, TBH).

Just as a piece of information regarding the Deimos pattern tanks, be careful with what you get. Back in February I ordered a MK1 Rhino and Predator, and the side armor was very poorly cast. Underneath the stepplate, below the side hatch, but above the wheels, it was very thin, and had spots where the resin didn't get through the mold.

I may have gotten a bad round, and this is all purely anecdotal, but I wanted to put my experience thus far with these kits out there, so that others know that it has happened. I can provide pictures if needed.

You're kidding me, crap I had a source at adepticon ready to snag one and they ran out that quick? Bum luck for me.

I own those shoulders and they are not what I am looking for. I mean I want a full sculpt not because I want exacting detail from pictures but because whenever Will Hayes does a pre heresy piece we get some nice odds and ends on the design side.

Did you call it in and get your free replacement? Cause usually that quells all problems.

@ Carabine - No mate that was at Salute, don't know what was going on in the States.

@ Vermgho5t - talk about bad timing, I bought two. I'm off to check boxes. Cheers.

Not a fan of the new predator. I just dont feel the new/ old looking stuff. the apothecary are pretty nice though.

The new Apothecaries are really nice. I won't get them because I don't have a place for them in my army but they look really swell.

The new Predator has nice rules, seems a bit too expensive pointswise, and is butt-ugly. It's remarkable how with every single new Predator or Land Raider I keep thinking, that's it, these models can't be worse, FW manages to again trump their prior delving into pre-heresy. The contradiction between these 2 kits in this same release is remarkable. I guess there must be someone out there that thought the models from 20 years ago were as good as it got and its been a downhill slope since then, so I guess I'm glad that person is getting some love.

I can't wait for IA12.

They still had some at about half 1 when I had a look.

I cracked and preordered the apothecaries and two show enforcers instead

What are the show enforcers? Exclusives?

They'd run out when I got there but because I was at the show I was told I could order them, so I got 2

Probably a misunderstanding on my part then.

They had sold out of something by 11:30 anyway.

I've just finished making and painting my own frekin sweet apothecary......but I bought these bad boys!!!

Just gonna have to alternate I guess!
