Look like thralls with shotguns to me. I really like how FW seems to be making a big effort to get all the Mechanicum options (and Legion options in general) represented in models

I don't think we'll see Mechanicum get large walkers beyond knights. Aesthetically I think GW/FW see it as a chaos or dark Mechanicum thing. I'm inclined to believe we'll see more of these different tracked guns and varieties of robots, in addition to the infantry we're still waiting on. The tracked guns and robots seem to dominate the existing artwork.


Your heresy has been exposed!

My apologies if my message so bothered you. It wasn't meant to.

My opinion as written was proven wrong. I however was addressing your post about slapping a gun on the large multi-legged Ramshackle walker. I'd meant the post to convey the fact that I thought a multi-legged walker was aesthetically removed. My message was obviously missing that qualifier. Thus my apologize since it appears to have bothered you as a result of my quick and haphazard writing.

There be too much! Honestly, they have added masses of new units, not all have models yet even with the masses shown today.

Alphaus has a very cool rule, you write down which unit you have hid in him then can reveal him any turn up to turn 5 when he is auto revealed regardless. If that unit was destroyed he just gets stuck in reserve and comes on normally. He has a AP1 spear with armourbane as well. Alpha have Headhunter kill teams, Lernaen Terminator Squads, Exodus, Armillus Dynat & Alphaus.

Fists have Templar Brethren (terminators), Phalanx Warder Squad (boarding marines), Sigismund, Alexis Polux & Dorn.

The only Tyranid it might be if it's not a new one is the Viciator. Although that doesn't explain the meat rockets.

Aw man, the knowledge that some people has their HH3 books and I have to wait is seriously giving me the jitters, shakes and a severe case of frustration.

I need my Alpha Legion fix real bad, it's been too long already!

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.

To me it looks like there's an initial wireframe mockup with just the body and an arm sculpted, to establish the scale. Then the other bits are intentionally left disassembled because it's still a work in progress (look at the tail).

You do know that the primary function of a supressor has nothing to do with noise but to reduce muzzle-flash and thereby make detection harder in a ranged firefight?

By itself? No. But there is also lower powered bolt rounds that essentially are solid rounds.

Two kinds of suppressors: "flash" suppressors which reduce muzzle-flash and "silencers" which are primarily designed to reduce the sound signature of a firearm.

Ok so Nid, beasties: My apologies but we had already left by time you asked the questions, they were fairly tight lipped but it seems these are for an upcoming IA book or something similar, the Dimarcehon (or whatever the hell it is called) seems to be a VERY large bipedal critter (only the legs were on display) possibly a supreme hive tyrant or something, other than that only the mock ups were shown which have a real horror look to them, lots of grasping tentacles and stuff) There are also some new biomorphy bits (a split claw arangement was one thing i noticed)
Lancer: Had a nice chat with Simon William the designer, who also sculpted the new mechanicum tanks (one of which Lee got) regarding the tanks he was very much going for something completely different and said main influences steampunk and WWI. The Lancer is designed to be posable and the shield goes on either arm, we had a good chat about the differences in resin and plastic and he said he had to work hard to get enough inner workings on it (basically they are required in plastic to hide joins and things) as working in resin is much more organic than plastic. The question about whether this would be used for future versions (though i didnt mention chaos specifically) was met with a knowing smile. He also confirmed my suspcion that the lance is desinged as if it retract and then punches through other engines.. He did say pilot models were unlikely as youll likely not see them and they will just drive cost up. Very cool and a dude who obviously loves his work
As was Simon Eagan, who revealed that he is planning THREE versions of horus, this one is horus just before the turn, he said he wanted a hidden level of malice in the model but for him not to appear evil., he also said he was in two minds about the hefty base as it drove the cost up but he felt that Horus deserved a pedestal. The second version will be a turned but not fully chaosified horus. the final version WILL be the duel with the EMPEROR. Yup you read that right. He also said he was working on another primarch right now but wouldnt say who, he said more would be revealed at the weekender. He said each primarch takes around 3 months to do but horus took longer.
Next i spoke to Steve who is working on the Gal Vorbak! His concept sketches are INCREDIBLE, they will be on 40mm bases. He hopes to have them done for the weekender abd said they are mostly there now,. Had an interesting chat with him regarding the scuplting process and he said he will basically make the model as best he can and then see if they come back and tell him if there is anything they cannot make. Sometimes they will tell him to thicken a part or move something about but not often. We spoke about the Chaos range and he said he loved the DV stuff but felt the main range was a backward step, certainly what he is heading for is more inline with the chosen from the DV box and he said that the models are closer to his concept work than he could have hoped which is a VERY good thing. We also had an interesting chat about space marine anatomy and the improbbility of fitting in their armour which he confessed can make them VERY challenging to sculpt in dynamic poses.
I also chatted to Rob Macfarlane about the cad process and desing work in general, not too much gleaned here but he confirmed he works with original GW source files to make sure everything fit and gets proofs back in 3D print form. In fact some of the figures in the cabinet WERE 3D prints. Not that you could tell. He said all peproduction mock ups and stuff are done in 3D print now so he can see if he needs to refine any designs. The printed part he showed me was exceptional.

We also have a large gallery of stuff, my favourite was the Firedrake Terminator!

Thank you for the extra pictures. Honestly most of the stuff in there we hadn't seen earlier (or can now see better) doesn't excite me all the much.

The Salamanders upgrade stuff is decidedly meh. I would have expected more moulded salamander heads than simply stapling Drake hide to everything.
Not a fan of the helmets in the Fists set.
The only combi-weapon I prefer to its GW equivalent is the flamer.
As cool as the Razorback turrets are (and they're awesome) they're just too late.
The Gorgons may be WIP, but they just look off in the same way that the Iron Hands upgrade did. Random exposed cables and spring looking things everywhere with no obvious practical purpose.

The Salamanders guy in Terminator armour looks great though, and the Thanatar looks better every time I see it. Thallax plasma fusil looks pretty cool, too.
