I actually think those don't look even remotely orkish, and I don't mean the paintjob.

But it still looks better than the real thing!

Not as far as I'm concerned, but to each it's own I guess.

Time for termitubbies!

We just need some green and red ones to go with the blue and yellow.

So Salamanders, Ultra Marines and Imperial Fists?

Who will red be, as Blood Angels won't be there?

Anyone else thinking that the men inside these things had their arms ripped off and then their chest widedned by 2.5x to make their shoulders wide enough for these centurion suits?

Now, now, we've been over that in this thread already. Opinions about models and aesthetics are facts and must be argued about incessantly

Lol those are pretty much spot on. few more orky bits and you are good to go.

I see nothing wrong with the models. All I see in rumor threads like this is that the people with the negative opinions are the most vocal about them.

My plague drones look awesome and painted even better. They are impressive on the playing board and everyone loves them. In the daemon rumors thread people were ripping on them like no tomorrow..

I think they'd look nicer if somebody covered the head cavity with a dome of some sort, similar to a Terran Marine from Starcraft or a stereotypical astronaut.

Have you ever looked closely at any of the GW models? I mean seriously people... this isn't flames of war, it's warhammer 40k, space elves and space orcs ffs.....

Space Marine equivilant of Obliterators? So the models are a lot more ugly, but I bet the rules will be a lot better.

I'm thinking "conversion opportunity."

Take a saw to the torso and bring the chest plates forward. Bend the legs at the knees like it's almost in seiza. Add lots of green stuff and steel wool to make billowing smoke... as a normally-armored Marine ejects from his stricken Termitubby suit.

This would be better as a Devastator gun platform, not so much as a fast-attack suit.

I thought warhammer 40k was non fiction and that's why it's serious business.


Guess I was wrong.

Are we still not understanding that these things aren't armor but some kind of small walker? Whether they're cyborgs or curled up in the chest or what, we don't know. But it's obvious just by looking at them that they're not suits where arms and legs go.

"these are the worst models I have ever seen. No hyperbole. GW is a joke, they have no creativity. I say this as a basement dweller who knows nothing about art, yet somehow I know I have better taste than a team of professional designers. I will also comment on the paint job even though I can't even bring myself to paint my necrons/grey knights/latest power army. I haven't bought any GW models in twenty years, this just confirms I made the right decision to fund (insert any lame kickstarter here)."

Am I doing it right? I think I covered all of dakka's usual bases. I saved you all the trouble of commenting! Now all we need is a new buzzword for these models (a.l.a. dinobots/chibihawk/pumbagore etc) to repeat ad nauseum for the next few months.

I think the models are fine. not great, but not as bad as people are saying.

How about "wreck-it Marines"!

Ah, well, in that case it must just be all internet hyperbole. No chance at all that other people might just, you know, not like them...


They have potential. They definitely look better with helmets. But when looking at a new model sparks a whole slew of ideas for ways to make them look better, rather than just getting excited to build and paint them? That's a model that has missed the mark. And that's what I'm getting from these.

Check me out, I'm so non-conformist I'm going to sarcastically hate on the haters that are hating on the new models.

Parties on both sides probably need to take a break from the hyperbole and snarkiness at this point.

All we need now is for someone to claim how shameful this has all become, and the circle will be complete!

All kidding aside, I've never really been bothered by people with different opinions...

It's probably too much to hope that the Sisters of battle get these as more modestly-dressed versions of penitent engines?

Your wish is granted.
For SHAME People!!!
Cant we all just get along, well except for all those WAAC/OP Tau players.

LOL

Awesome, so it's going to be a dual loota ork/marine kit?

The ork version looks much better, like they could fill out the armour.

I'm wondering whether or not Legion of the Damned will appear in the new book. I'd love for them to become competitive in their slot.

After I get some for my Imperial Fists, I'll model some Sisters helmets for them and give em to my Sisters too. (technically they're allies but same colors and iconography)
Wait, I thought we were supposed to get something larger than a dreadnaught as well. Where'd that go?

I'm thinking I should start a pole. Those who think they look cool and those who think they look stupid.

That way I can ignore everyone on the "look cool" list and save myself a lot of anger over future releases.

Probably should have people post their ages too. $20 says that all the people who like them are 15 years and under.

Yes, everyone who doesn't agree with you is CLEARLY a juvenile person who couldn't ever have anything useful to say about anything. Are you for real?

The centurions look like something MegaBloks would design.

Your a GW apologist and you should feel ashamed of yourself.

You both make me feel ashamed to call myself human.

Holy mother of God... I now have an excuse to play the fail trombone sound.

This is the most back and forth I have seen in a Rumors thread.

I am guessing because it's Space Marines.
