It might be what we can expect moving forward though, right?

Maybe we'll see it on a lot of the RG characters from HH3?

Maybe even on Corax himself?

I'm actually not looking forward to Corax. I don't like his jump pack (giant wing bits just don't do anything for me, or the hair do for that matter lol)

I'm looking forward to Corax a lot!

I'll agree that the jump pack/wing thing has me a bit concerned...

But aside from Alpharius, Corax is right up there on the list for me!

All the Primarchs I'd like to get are still pending:

Alpharius/Omegon (spoiler!!!)
Corax
Perturabo
Dorn
Guilliman
Sanguinius
El'Jonson

A long wait, but plenty of time to save up right?

But Alpharius has already been released

Hmm, the Triaros Armoured Conveyor might just be the most powerful dedicated transport in 30k;

For 135 points you get AV 14(!) / 12 / 12, 4 HP and Flare Shield, which reduces Template weapons by -2 and other weapons by -1, effectively leaving you immune to front-arc firepower that isn't within Melta range. Even Vindicators need 6s to just glance you. Heck, you're immune to Meltas outside of melta range, including the Magna Melta on the Questoris Knight Errant.

The ram is just icing on the cake. Transport Capacity 20 as well...

You can take a HQ upgrade that gives all your vehicles IWND.

Mech Mechanicus is a fearsome thing... in 40k you can get Obj Secured AV 14 spam...

I think mech Land Raiders in Book 1 (they are dedicated transports in the Ordo Reductor list) can give them a run for their money though. Granted they start at 195pts and have a lower transport capacity, but for sheer durability, it can exceed the Triaros. With the upgrades available to it, it can be AV 14 14 14, 4 HP, with a flare shield, extra armour, immunity to the melta special rule (making it almost invulnerable from the front), a 4+ sv vs immobilised results and an inbuilt Anbaric claw, which provides decent anti-assault defence and a bonus to ramming. Not to mention the awesome weapons available to the tank. This does make for an expensive tank though, but its pretty damn tough, especially considering it can be carrying models which can repair any damage it does take.

And here he is:

ARCHMAGOS DRAYKAVAC / MAGOS PRIME

I think it is pretty interesting that FW picked up the GW style to release a combi kit with this one. Can't complain, great idea!

Big fella and nice Ultramarine Legion teaser:

I wouldn't interpret to much into it. Guess it is just one of the Ultramarines of Paul which got introduced in June:

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/News/FORGE_WORLD_BULLETIN_23.html

Loving the Archmagos and pretty much everything else...

First of the official dark mechnicum with the named version of him?

Hmm, I find it a bit annoying that they've come up with a new Dark Mechanicum named character model, without making a model for Satareal who already has rules in Book 3. I guess the thinking was that Satareal was too big to be also used as a Magos on Abeyant, and with this they can kill 2 birds with one stone, for not much extra effort (an extra head and 4 gun swaps). Also, whilst I think the model looks cool, the Abeyant is HUGE! Makes converting/scratch-building one a lot harder.

EDIT: Just spotted something on the description for this guy: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/The_Horus_Heresy/Mechanicum/Mechanicum_HQ/MAGOS_DOMINUS_WITH_RAD_CLEANSER.html

The Magos Domius with Rad-Cleanser, designed by Mark Bedford, is a complete resin kit and includes a Magos Dominus equipped with a volkite serpenta, cortex controller, abeyant and the option of a rad/irad-cleanser or sensor skull.

So this guy has an Abeyant too, despite probably being able to ride the other Abeyant. So you can mount your Magi on 60mm or 40mm bases by the looks of it.

Isn't the Abeyant the big platform thing?

I have that model, he doesn't come within anything other than in the picture, now I'm really confused.

I think the metal case the Magos Dominus hangs from is the Abeyant in the older model, it is just a far less impressive version of the huge platform thingy.

Hooray! I got my Siege Breacher Squad today, along with a nice Iron Hands t-shirt

Have to say, the Archmagos looks pretty neat!

I'm really liking the upgrade bits for the GW knights.

The FW knights are too tall

He somehow looks better painted. However he looks a bit easy to convert (barring all the tentacles.)

Now I need that model! Just no idea what I could use him as in my 40k list....won't be far off a 30k army

Just curious, is there any reason for the wolf skull other than to make him look evil?

I always thought it was more of a bovine skull.

Yes, it looks more like a cattle/horse skull. Inquisitor Heldane would not be amused
http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Heldane

The Horse skull is the personal emblem of Inar Satarael's legion, I Imagine Draykavac is part of it.

Looking forward to the beast that Inar Satarael model is going to be...

He can be a Daemon Prince in a Iron Warriors army, or Jugglord for Chaos.

He's going to be my Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf when I proxy SW with my Mechanicum, probably going to model him to float though.

Really really like Draykavac. Will hold off purchasing him until Book 4 comes out however

The Archmagos is brilliant though. It's the bizarre mix of technology and the decaying remains of nature that is present in a lot of the artwork and background that brought me into 40k in the first place and Forge World's models do a great job of capturing that tone.

Someone posted pics of a new Imperial Fist contemptor dread on Facebook, were there anymore new Fist stuff displayed?

The only thing I don't like about the Solarite Auxilia is the helmets they just look a bit off to me.

Yeah, the top of the helmet seems rounder than the in the color illustration. It does not quite capture the cool shape of the one in the illustration.

Ahh, those were the days....used to have brilliant artwork in White Dwarf. Very Giger-esque.
