I'm kinda baffled by the people saying that they like the shooty Centurions better than the grindy ones. It's the same thing with a gun in place of the drill:



Still has the same issues. Genuinely confused.

Looking forward to seeing the sprue pics and the 360° view though.

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...

On the shoulder pad that mostly hidden by the combi-weapon. I've seen a different picture from a better angle, where more is visible. And it's definitely red.

Then can you post the image instead of having me sit here with a thumb up my arse, I asked if there was something I was missing. Your post here clearly shows that I'm missing a second angle...

Once you've decided that this is OK:



Centurions should be a problem!

Space (Whale) Sharks anyone?

Umm, Just noticed now I can see both pics together... Are they static posed?

All the arms are in exactly the same positions on both pics, and so are the heads to a certain extent....

EDIT: Not exactly the same as the left arm on both the bottom left models seem to be slightly different heights.

I think this is much more fitting...

Not sure if this was posted already but I don't feel like looking through all the pages

Alf look right above the Combi weapons body. You can see a strip of the Red edging on his Shoulder Pad.

Ya a bunch of pages ago, but this is a fast fast thread!

Was that so hard?

And yeah, but a paintjob is a paintjob, I would say generic SM captain than. The only problem is that banner. I only asked because it looks similar to my Captain Sicarius model.

The only thing is that they already have a finecast version of him, I doubt they'd make another one

It's because the drills are weird and the legs are dumb. The guns are guns, not weirdly shaped tools. The blue does help, I think, but the legs are still a killer for me. I will never buy these. I will instead make my own using some other model as a base.

They are so cute before they grow up...

Ravenguard? I think the shoulder pad is the deciding factor. Raven guard are all black except when company colors are put in the trim... Iron Hands seem to have silver trim on the shoulder pads.

How on earth do those bolters even fire? Is the gun barrel curved inside or something? Do GW designers even think before using another gun as a template for a combi weapon?

If you can't see it by the way, the muzzle height compared to the ejector.

Deffo iron hands, the clue is in the colour of the hands. Veterns have two 'iron' hands.

The character models are average and serviceable at best. :shrug: I really think they've stripped mined those for ideas enough already over the years that there is simply no impressing anyone anymore with the character models. We've seen it all before. Again, the strong winners here are the two tank variants. They look well done. Everything else is meh at best.

The Vanguard box would suggest that Raven Guard Veterans have one all-white arm and a white helmet, the issue is with the picture that poor quality I can't tell if the hands and left arms are white or silver.

Yod's got it - That's the other clue - Raven Guard Veterans have White Shoulder Pads and Arms!

I found these at BoLS forums:

I never thought that GW would find a way to make loyalist Obliterators. At the same time I forsee conversions using these guys into Ork Meganobz and possibly as a good basis for Obliterators.

As far as the various codex covers I'm looking forward to having my Space Wolves on the cover of the normal SM codex, there is a delicious sort of irony in being able to have your favorite chapter on the cover of a codex they aren't even in. As far as Black Templars goes I don't really think it's a bad thing that they're being rolled into one codex, it kind of follows the template set by Codex: Grey Knights where they rolled multiple armies into one codex. Plus after releasing one codex they could focus more on release new models for each of the individual chapters instead of having to do seperate codices for each.

And I'm pretty happy about Gravity Weapons being back though I don't think normal squads should have acess to them, seems like they took the railgun road and gave them to everyone. Technology that rare shouldn't be given to everyone.

Raven Guard Vets also don't have 'Iron' Hands.

The picture quality is as such that the silver hands don't look silver...

Also if this has been mentioned I apologize but any rumors that characters such as captains or CM will be able to don Centurion armor?

I hope they are Iron Hands, it'd be nice to see my favourite chapter get some love for once

I wonder what the fluff for the armour will be? I wonder where the technology comes from? To me, they look like heavy loaders, the sort of thing used to reload shells on Battle Barges perhaps? Though, I suppose specialist servitors are used for that if it isn't all auto?

I can see the picture really well on my screen, they are definitely silver.

I believe they are motorized suits used to field injured marines while they are recovering. Kinda strange I know...

They match the white of the guns too closely in that picture, which looks to be a crappy cell phone pic. At first glance it doesn't look silver, if you go in knowing it's silver because you've read comments of people saying it's silver, your mind is going to think silver.

Also the Centurions should not be confused with these:
http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Centurion_%28Space_Marine%29

I think they're silver, the hands on the marine on the right are definitely slightly darker than the gun he's holding.

That was posted as a joke.

I actually like them, and look forward to adding them to my 10,000pt Ultramarine army.

You can see it clearer on the model further backwards - less flash exposure - and, I've colour picked it in photoshop, it certainly isn't white, and is a shade of grey!

Oooh, talking about Iron Hands, I wonder if there will be any bionics in the kit. I do like me some bionics...
