I found something like this...looks to be the new models showing a date of September 15th

Why do i get the feeling the new SM Codex will make the DA Codex look completely useless.

All these shiny new toys the 1st Chapter doesnt have for some strange reason :(

Arent they the old stuff?

They are the old sternguard upgrade kit page. Not the new stuff

Is that a marine w/ a scout HB? Weird...

*Edit*
Ah, this kit? http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440277a&prodId=prod1710018a
Huh, didn't know that existed... Dang thos combi-weapons are ugly

My bad... the poses look different form the Finecast models so I thought

Yeah that's the crummy weapons kit that was released. 15th this year is a Sunday too

That's just the current upgrade kit

They're not the Finecast models.

But if you read the picture you linked it says "Sternguard Veteran Weapons" and mentions that it is a "resin conversion kit".

I am guessing there will be a FAQ or something to include the centurions and that in some of the other sm codex's?

There will not be. I pretty much guarantee that.

Is the librarian Tigarius?

Tigurius? Don't think so http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440271a&prodId=prod1600030a

Those are some ugly models. When I first saw them the first thought was the quote "cant hit the broad side of a barn." Well now we have infantry models wide and flat as the broad side of a barn. I cant picture my Space Sharks fielding these things regardless of the rules.

I concur with most people, the IF pics of those have them looking even worse. But then I hate the GW idea of what Imperial Fist yellow looks like too. Such better ways for a rich deep yellow and they go for flat bright yellow.

@Angry Ron

Well, I understand he has an older model.

Something that amazes me is that, after all this time, there is still no model of Kor'sarro Khan on a bike. I mean, he really should be on a bike, and converting that model to sit on a bike ain't easy considering his cape/awkward pose (for sitting on bike at least).

Yeah, it's jst if you ask me they look nothing alike, plus the current Tigurius model still holds up if yu ask me, and previous rumors say it's a generic libby.

That captain model on page 46, is that a new Sicarius model? Or generic SM Cappy?

Sorry if I missed the discussion already, this thread moves too fast.

Shooty Centurions look much better...not that I minded the assault version, but at least now I know I can put them on the table and I won't be as likely to hear people complaining about how they're the worst models GW has ever made (note: they're really not).

I agree that the drills were too oversized and the bell-bottom legs look a little too thick. But I don't think they deserved the amount of bile that's been spilled over them. If the shooty ones have rules that make them worth using, I think I can overlook some thick legs (not fussed about fielding the drill ones in any case).

And I still stand by the theory that they will look much, much better in real life.

I think all the new HQs are generic

I kind of like the shooty Termietubbies - but the first thing I'm doing if I get them is replacing those god awful helmets and heads and removing that absolutely idiotic leg plate. If I was a rich man I'd proxy Contemptor Dreadnoughts as them instead, but gah.

Its no worry though, I bet all the money in the world that Centurions of both kinds will suck.

The question I keep coming back to is do I like the Dakka Centurions because they actually look good or because I saw the Drill Obsessed Termitubbies first?

I'm not so sure, the captains banner looks like it has raised detail on it, but I can't tell if the ultramarines symbol is part of that, if its done freehand, its exceptional painting.

I'm 98% sure that it's generic.
But even if it is not, it's not Sicarius. He is painted with a red trim, for Third Company, which means it's Captain Fabian.

Sicarius is captain of the Second Company.

I must be missing an important detail that shows that the captain model in hotsauceman1's post is a 3rd Company Captain.

Yep, Sicarius is captain of 2nd.

Yes I know, my UM is all second company, I'm still trying to figure out what part of this image means he's 3rd company, the only red trim I see is the leather in the front...
