So once they start showing up as singles they might make some low cost conversion fodder for all sorts of armies or terrain. Now sure of sizes but Heroclix is 28mm.
Hello Dark Eldar something or another
Hello new armored limo.
Hello Ork tank.
Would you like to know more?

Or use them as Heroclix. It's a fun game in itself.

They'll be about the same size as the previously released Haloclix Warthog. They use the same base.

I love that Batmobile, it's clearly a Batmobile but with both hot rod and hummer influences.
I ain't kidding, if these are reasonably cheap I'll pick up a few to use as armored limos/terrain/whatever.

Wow! I never expected to see the Haunted Tank in a game. I thought DC had forgotten about all of its WWII genre comics and deposited their memory into deep carbon storage deposits in West Virginia.
I am not crazy about any of the vehicles for 40K but I can certainly see some uses for them in skirmish games.

Will these be sold in their own boxes or are they part of the whole "buy a brick and maybe, just maybe it's in there" scheme they use for this game?

Yeah but there's tons of similar 1/48 die casts out there. I wish they'd done with the retro GCPD cars from the animated series.

Ditto...once removed from the bases these are going to be great for modern/near future skirmish games, both as active models and terrain.

They've been using a "super booster" system for a while now. Bricks contain 8 boosters and one super booster. Each super booster is blind, but is guaranteed to contain a colossal figure (or in this case, a vehicle).

Clix are made from the worst kind of plastic. Enjoy your purchases because your conversion attempts will leave you disappointed.

I've not gotten any of the huge Clix but the Star Wars Huges were made from stiff styrene rather than bendy plastic.

If those models prove popular within the Heroclix community they'll sell for upwards of 40-50$ US. Those boxes are blind pulls (meaning the buyer doesn't know what he's buying) when purchased retail so it really bolsters the price of those models on the secondary market (because that vehicle box will retail at 30-35$ US). Large size models always sell for a pretty penny in the Heroclix community.
But some of those models are definitely conversion worthy. Automatically Appended Next Post: I'd like about four out of six of those vehicles just for the Heroclix itself. For those wondering those vehicles will be made out of the harder plastic, not the bendy stuff used in their man sized figs.

The base is listed as 2 x 4 whatever that means.

A Heroclix map is divided into 1.5 by 1.5 inch squares. So 3 inch by 6 inch base on those models. Automatically Appended Next Post: Also the Bug ( Blue Beetle's ride) is actually on a 3 x 4 base.

If they're anything like the previous vehicles they've done(Warthog, Banshee), they'll be hard plastic instead of what the standard figures are made of. I hope they'll have the rubber tires and ability to actually roll(and turn!) when removed from the base that the Warthog had, but I doubt it.

You've clearly been out of the Heroclix loop for a while.
Since they were picked up by NECA, Wizkids has been casting their Heroclix in a much higher quality plastic than they used to. They're some of the most detailed, high-quality pre-painted figures I've ever seen.
I went on a huge Heroclix binge during my break from 40k before coming back. I still play (though not as often) and I can say the quality of their products have gone up drastically from the old days.

This is accurate. Hopefully they won't take after the colossals from the Galactic Guardians set on the secondary markets. A few of the colossals, like Galactus and Dormammu, were selling for $50-$60.
