I was hoping the centurions would at least have some cool factor, like the stormtalon did. These are just bad any way you look at 'em. They definitely have my vote.

I sincerely doubt it. They're a bit bigger than Terminators. They'll probably more or less be loyalist Obliterators.

Yeah from what I've seen, those upcoming Centurions aren't looking too hot. I mean, the top half looks decent enough...but 'dem legs?! It's going to need a bit of converting for sure to salvage, 'def have to cut at the knee and re-segment the leg somehow because what's going on now is just too..."squat" (yeah, I said it).

Wow, lots of... silliness. I agree that a lot of the old tyranid models were really awful. Not just the old warriors (which were probably the worst), but... well... lots of stuff, including this one...
And while those new marine units look awful, they're still not as bad as...
Because, com on, it's a dumpster. A dumpster with the pretense of flight, and a turret that can't even shoot down.
But mostly...

That's what I thought at first but the halos usually have 12 points, seems odd to not only have it different but to be 8 specifically seems on the heritical side.

I'm a wolf fan and I consider that 
|
ADB: I showed the Wolves revealing the key weakness at the heart of the World Eaters; showing Angron that his Legion was broken and worthless compared to the others; that he was the one primarch who couldn't trust his own warriors, and that they didn't care if he lived or died; showing that loyalty to brothers and sons is the heart of success for the Legiones Astartes, to the point even Lorgar makes a big deal out of saying the World Eaters and their primarch were massively outclassed by Russ, and Angron was too stupid to see the lesson Russ had sacrificed time, sweat, and blood, to teach. We're talking about a battle the Wolves won, by isolating the enemy general through pack tactics, and threatening to kill him, without a hope of defending himself. It was a balance, 50/50 - Angron overpowered Russ, and the Wolves were losing ground to the World Eaters; but Russ and his warriors had Angron by the balls, and barely broke a sweat. They won, no question. Lorgar even says: "The Wolves won, meathead."
Dorn won’t help you either. He’s too busy being the Emperor’s groundskeeper, hiding behind the palace walls. The Wolf is too busy cutting off heads as our father’s executioner, while the Lion holds on to his secrets, and has no special fondness for you. Who else will come? Not Ferrus, certainly. Nor Corax either. Even as we speak, I suspect he flees for Deliverance. Sanguinius?’ Curze laughed cruelly. ‘The angel is more cursed than I. The Khan? He does not wish to be found. So who is left? No one, Vulkan. None of them will come. You are simply not that important. You are alone.’ Konrad Curze to Vulkan
