Pretending you had to pull a James-bloody-Bond routine to get a quick snap of the top 1/3 of a Marine is not "doing previews". If I'm being extremely charitable, I would call the FW blog "teasers". Maybe I've just been spoiled by the videogame industry, but when I hear "preview" I assume I'm going to get some actual information about the product, maybe even *shock horror* find out when I'll be able to buy it.
The videogame industry is, however, famed for previewing stuff that never shows up in the final on sale build and failing to hit launch dates (or launching stuff that's unplayable/broken)

Yes, and? You just described 90% of wargaming/miniatures Kickstarters, and not that long ago would have been describing Forgeworld(anyone else remember how we were getting an Imperial Armour book featuring a Tzeenchian cult set on a prison world? Forgeworld don't, apparently). Not every product will meet expectations, that isn't a reason to avoid previewing stuff unless you believe a lot of the stuff you put out is going to be crap.

'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal |

Firedrakes comes in Terminator-flavour only.
This will turn out to be a Pyroclast, artificier armour draped with salamander hides, it's dead on the description in the unit entry.

I have a little hobby-thread going in the P&M section. Some say it's the best blog on Dakka, some don't agree, most belive it would be better if I finished at least one project some time this century and not just kept starting new ones.

You seem right that this a Pyroclast, but on pages 124/125 in the Massacre book they picture Firedrakes in power armor. I have not read the unit entrys yet ...

Yeah, so far, it's less of a blog and more of a sneak preview page.
Which is not a bad thing.
However, I would like to see more text content as well. Behind the scenes commentary, design notes, etc.

I love the way they "tie" the Legion range of IG vehicles into the SM look by adding a dreadnought powerplant to the flank armour.
The sectioned "marine-style" armour is a little better, but is still a bit silly. Then again 40k ≠ realism.

To be fair, the regular Chimera chassis' exhausts are along its flanks, so having the same thing on the Marine one isn't that much of a stretch.

I mean they are nice and whatever but there is only so many times you can see the same basic armour and vehicle chassis before you're completely and utterly over it.

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

I'm unsure as to whether we'll see these artillery tanks make their way into use by the imperial army so i'm holding out on purchase for the meantime as i have a huge backlog of stuff to be painted already.
Loving the Mk2 with TH though - the model holding it looks brutal!
