Roboute is pretty impressive, but that paint job looks pretty durn meh.

Argh that warlord is not what I imagined at all. It was always going to be way beynd my hobby budget but it's definitely a lazy offering from FW. Still though would have been nice to have some decent proper warlord style eye candy. The driver is pretty cool though.

Not sure if lazy but definetly misguided (to my mind). Looks a bit too much like just a giant imperial knight. Wonder if there will be a chaos version.

I did think it looked too much like a bigger Knight to start with, but people pointed out it is actually pretty close to the epic model for the Warlord, and I like the Knights anyway so I decided to just embrace it.

It is just a large knight. I always imagined a fairly large crew in a warlord. Can't see the crew I imagined fitting in the skinny assed frame of a knight type Titan. Maybe there will be a bulkier pattern come out some day. Anyone want to put a guess out there on the crazy expected price? I go £700, arms extra at £60 a pop.

Just on the last page... over £1000 all in

So I'm not the only one that prefers the blocky versions of titans where they exist?

Warlord looks like the Epic Mars Pattern Warlord to me.

Have I missed the pics of the actual model, and the prices too?

I don't think anyone is disputing that. At least in my case, I was hoping it would end up looking like this instead...



The writing though was on the wall when the curvy knight came out and the final nail on the idea's coffin was the discontinuation of the blocky warhound.

Dont believe so, my post was referring to the art

Opens tomorrow eh?

I always loved that pic. Great warlord design, and shows the crazy scale of 40k (look at that tiny door at the front of the gun!)

OK, that's what I thought - but the talk here was making me think I'd missed something...

Also, I'm another one who is VERY glad the Blocky McBattletech Warlord has been sidelined for The Old School Epic Mars Pattern Beetleback Warlord!

Yep, Beetleback Warlord is the one true Warlord!

At least I have the pretty monoturreted stormhammer to look at online.

Low blow!

Uncalled for!

Now THATS a warlord

With this coming out in the next week or two, and the marine codex rumoured to be coming out mid way through June...

Mah poor, abused wallet...

Guilliman:

And Sigismund:


I like Guilliman. Not sure on Sigi, will need to see more photos.

Never mind.

Loving Sigismund- I wonder if they're having a helmet head for him? Girlyman looks pretty awesome too

Sigismund needs a better picture. This angle makes him look like too much torso.

Guilliman, I feel like there is something maybe too plain about him, or maybe it's just the angle of his sword... But something.

I don't think I like Sigismund. I don't feel the pose overly suits him, and I'd definitely give him a helmet. And like aka_mythos above said, it looks too much torso. I'll wait til there's more photos but I'm not sold yet. I almost prefer the IF command set guy as him, I think the pose is better and it looks identical to the art on Templar, about him.

I do like Guilliman though. Wanna see more photos, but I think he's gonna be my first Primarch model.

I love those UM breachers. The Blade Slave things look cool, more Gal Vorbak like possessed are welcome, and the White Scars look intriguing.

That Warlord is incredible. Absolutely huge.

Wonder if we can buy just the head of the warlord? I'd love to make a display :-)

The Warlord is £1150 including weapons and has apparently already sold out!

Oh my. White Scars!

Is that a lord of skulls with feet???

Yup:

Guilliman looks like a 3rd party sculpt.

Sigi is hilarious in a bad way. He has a face of an aged vampire and a pose of YMCA dancer. I feel sorry for IF players.

The only differences I've noticed on the WS squad are the new helmets and chainswords.

Who the hell are "Blade slaves"? WBs themselves or possessed loyalists? Their leader looks like a sorcerer.

Who is Zardu Lyak? (Obviously a word bearer guy but I mean what part does he play in the HH?)

Well, at least now we know there are going to be lots of marines in the near future from FW. I was starting to get a little worried that 30k was over.

Are you kidding? He looks badass!
