Two good things about the warp talons, I will have new noise marine heads, and Lots of LC for my terminators.

They have power armor arms, they'll be tiny and weird looking on Terminators.

I am guessing it is like a huge jet turbine or something.

I really don't get this. They fit exactly the Daemon Engine aesthetic. They look like huge, warped Daemon machines. You can see terminator shoulderpads on some of their legs, bits of defiler or dreadnought armor on others and this is all mixed with a huge daemon beast (reminds me of Bloodcrusher aesthetic). How is this not chaos?

Yea I don't think it has legs so I guess it is in perpetual motion lol. I am struggling to figure out how to fix that thing. If it's 70 bucks they can keep it, way to expensive to kit bash for me.

I doubt it, have you seen the pictures of the size between the DV power armor , and the normal terminators?

Agree completely. I am a little put off by the head of the ForgeFiend but I think it is actually a third cannon... if not then it is getting the Mauler head when I build it. Regardless, Daemon Engines indeed. Personally I think they look better than anything warmahordes has put out.

It just isn't as angular as the CSM stuff usually is. Look at the old defiler and dread, very square. The new hellbrute is very round though so I felt this was comming. I personally prefer the more crude square look.

Guys they fit perfectly and stop moaning. Now I m sure people are not happy with anything.
We get a new possibly better WD, we get a new dex, new models and these are he pics we have online ATM.
Wait for more!

Here's hoping I can field maulerfiends is squads of three like carnifexes. Nine of those on the field would just look awesome!!

No leaked pics of Dark Apostle makes me a sad Word Bearer.

The rest looks awesome though.

Those walkers and the dragon thing look fugly... I got all excited when I saw pictures in the thread title, only to be greeted with some goofy mecha -beast things. Hopefully this is not the only stuff being released!

I like most of it I just dont like the design of the dragon which sucks to be me lol.

I really like the Warpsmith a lot.

The new Raptors also look great, still Raptors to me, don't care that they have new names.

I'm kinda liking the beasts. I imagine they have multiple heads and I be there is a better looking head in the box. In any event, it can be made to look pretty cool I bet.

The dragon is pretty awful, but maybe he looks better in robot mode.

Is it me or do the "arms" on the forgefiend look like they have plama coils on the top?

The dragon depends onteh rules it gets, but not overly fussed abotu it - might just use my Hellblade instead.

I actually like the look of the Fiends - pretty much what i woudl expect a daemon engine to look like. the Forgefiend looks a little too...static maybe, but you might be able to pose the model differently.

They will fit in perfectly for my preheresy zoids army.

Oh and btw its better to have a model for a new unit than no model at all.
Remember tervigon. Whole gaming population converted and finally after 1 and half year GW released model.
Nice right? Oh and btw if you don't like the models go convert and INVENT!

Haven't people been complaining that CSM were just spikey marines since the 4th codex came out? Careful what you wish for, I guess.

Yea this stuff is too specific if you play Nurgle or slannesh but as others have said maybe there are great bits on the sprue. A dual kit means less space though.

I think its the strange web like trim pattern in the positive space tat kills it for me. Would it have killed them to maybe try and sculpt some actually detail in those parts rather then just randomly connect some lines. I am comming around from my initial reaction otherwise, I think I am going to have to do A LOT of sanding though.

Or just not paint them in such a stark contrast?

Maybe I was holding my expectations too high but I was expecting beasts similar to the forgeworld Brass Scorpion.

If by people you don't include me with that lot you may be right.

Big meh with all the models, though it could be the pictures.

The thing that bugs me about the dragon is the triangles on the end of the wings. Need....different.....angle shot.

exactly, it's one thing to be more organic metal like the others but that thing clashes badly with it's own wings.

Also agreed. They're the logical continuation of the Forgeworld Chaos aesthetic, the Blood Slaughterer especially. Shame there isn't a bit more Decimator in there, but what can you do.

I actually like the Dragon, I don't think it looks Cartoony at all.

I'm sure this isn't all the models that are getting released, we may see two waves this coming month, like what was predicted.

I'm looking forward to seeing more stuff, I'm just excited to finally start seeing models!

Very few people are actually complaining about the Warp Talons (which look sickening) and the Warpsmith which also looks pretty cool. Note that most of the negative comments are towards the anteater engine (forge/warpfiend) and the dragon.

You can have Chaos Marines without a bunch of children's toys.

Yea, I am probably just going to use decimators/ Blood slaughterer for the fiends to be honest FW does everything better lately it seems.

The distinction used to be Daemons and special rules for Legions.

Now the distinction is Zoids.

I respect people's right to like the new "direction", but can they also respect our right to question it.

They don't look like children's toys to me. They look like a cross between Oblits and Bloodcrushers.

Zoids is just going to be the new Chibihawk, something for people to parrot for a couple of months because that's what is cool.
