As soon as the new terminators are up then I'll be making a sizable order

I wonder how viable an all-infantry HH force will be. I have pretty much no interest in GW's or FW's current vehicles (maybe minus the HH jetbikes). But those new termies are crazy cool.

I consider this a fair price for a Primarch. All of the totally hideous wannabe Primarch models go for at least this much on ebay. Angron is possibly the single best looking "space marine" model ever sculpted.

Wait till we see the emperor (Because if there going to do primarchs there bound to make the emperor)...

They have already said there WILL be an Emperor but he's probably 3-5 years out as we're only getting a new book every 6 months or less.

Personally I'm waiting on Sanguinius and Dorn. To which if Dorn is done barefaced like John Blanch's art I'm having GorFrag put mutton chops and a bad mustache on him.

I suppose it'd make sense to see Mortarion, Fulgrim, and Horus out of this book. I don't know whether they're all stat'd in it, however.

It mentions in the product brief that it has "rules for the Primarchs of the four Legions", so they all have rules in this one.

Of those four, I cannot decide whether I am more excited to see Mortarion or Fulgrim.

Ok, well, I ordered the book and instantly got buyer's remorse.

Then I noticed this:



... and now I don't feel so sad.

Yep yep yep, I went over to the FW site today to order their chainaxes pack for my Skitarii officers(I only need seven, but there's none on the ebay bitz stores atm so what the hey), clicked the "New Stuff" section on a whim, and immediately revised my shopping list for next week's food to "bread(2), tin of beans(lots)"

On a more serious note though, FW need to fix their ludicrous express shipping; there is no reason on earth I should be paying over £20 for a non-next-day shipping service, especially not when I'm ordering one book and about twenty grammes of resin. The flat 12% for standard shipping is bad enough.

So is there a list of what order the Primarchs are releasing in?

I have all 4's rules in front of me right now. So yeah, they'll all 4 be in it.

You and about half the internet wish.

They are starting at Isstvan and going to the end of the HH. Where each Primarch lands is anyone's guess at this point since they all make appearances throughout the story. The HH actually started before Isstvan when Russ, Lion El'Jonson, Sanguinius, and Guilliman were sent away on missions. So technically they should have been in the first or second book. The 4 they have in this book make sense, since they were the first 4 to change teams.

Then of course FW has said that some Primarchs might get a couple versions of minis/models.

So it's a total crapshoot as to which Primarchs FW picks and chooses to release.

Eh.
One thing to note is that not only are the Primarchs going to get models, but figures like Loken and Abaddon are as well.

So it's a total crapshoot as to which Primarchs FW picks and chooses to release.

They've stated that all are being released. So that's not a worry.

Hope they do a signus Prime one, but these are sick so far!

@Kan

I know/understood all that from the previous FW/HH thread. I was just extrapolating for our fellow forum user.

That said, it is a total crapshoot for what Primarch comes next, or even what character is next, and who is the next book.

I will stand in line like everyone else waiting to see who's next and if it will be a purchase or not. The one advantage (I would like to think) of getting "your" Primarch/other characters farther down the release line is, chances are their model will be better than those first released.

From what I understand, Mortarion is next.
Then Fulgrim, and lastly Horus.

My question is: Is the first book needed as a 'core' book?

Every book will probably serve as a core book, much like the Imperial Armour series.

Ok thanks, I have no familiarity with FW books. If that is the case, then I will probably wait until the Dropsite Massacre book with Salamanders and Iron Hands (i'm speculating here).

I'm actually really surprised to say Mortarion. Between his 16" move, rerolls on IWND , making all frags and havocs poisoned, a nasty little pistol option, and still being a monster, IMO he earns his points and fits my aggressive style best.

Horus is (predictably) the Draigo of the four, being basically every SW HQ rolled into one. Fulgrim's also fun with rending meaning he can pen LR with his sword, and finally Angron has some fun rules, but really is a glass hammer (for a primarchs) and is probably the worst value of the 4. Red Sands with Butchers Nails is just awesome, he mauls charaters, and he too laughs at AV 14, but a 3+\4++ makes him so much more fragile than the others.

I love how he can Challenge every character he's in combat with!

Cataphractii Terminators are now available online ... damn ... I was one day too early with ordering Angron and Book I ...

Really wish the new shoulder pads were up as well. I don't want to place an order now,and then turn around in 2 weeks and do another order just for World Eater pads.

I'm waiting on the Sons of Horus shoulder pads to drop before I order....

Terminators work out to be a mere $10 more than the GW plastic kit. Still overpriced but not so much that I won't pick up a squad or two of them!

you sure you're including the (rather expensive) weapon sets in that?
because if not, you're paying only $10 more for terminators without hands.

Including hands yes! Not the special weapons though as they are a few quid more then the storm bolters.

With one set of hands they run: $72

Which isn't that bad compared to a basic terminator squad though you'll be missing a heavy weapon.

For me, I'm starting wtih 10 of them but with the following loadout:

2xTerminator Sets
2xSpecial Weapon Sets
2xPower Axe Set

Comes out to a little less than $100 per 5-man but I'll have the parts to magnetize and make them whatever loadout I prefer for a Loganwing army, Chaos Marine army, or Deathwing army. Which is pretty nice when all is said and done

I'm sticking some Termies on my Christmas list along with some Special and Chainaxe packs. Gonna use them as part of my CSM army and also as part of a Heresy World Eaters army.

I just gotta say I really hope they had Mechanicus Legio Cybernetica Robots to these eventually. They were quite active in the Heresy, are awesome as hell, and would be a new/refreshing thing.

I was in the FW seminar at games day and you will be happy to hear that the Mechanicus and Robots are on the agenda.
To say i was chuffed would be an understatement.
