Ummm...but wouldn't the damage to your wallet be the same? It'd just be a question of perception...

Absolutely it's perception! Its my simple mind, It likes simple things.

Although I think the Deredeo is a little inferior in aesthetic compared to the Contemptor, I think both are leagues ahead of the angry washing machines of old. Certainly look *way* more intimidating!

They may be better models (finer details, whatever), and they may have a sounder design from an engineering point of view, but I liked the old boxy dreads more. They were more grimdark and fitting for the Imperium, while these sleeky-curvy models look like something the tau might come up with.
Well, in a regular 40k setting they'd be considered sacred, rare relics afaik while in 30k the technology was still pumping, so there's that, but I actually liked the old cubefoots better.

Im the complete opposite haha. I can't stand the boxy dreadnought, and I really like the Contemptor. I don't see Tau in it but I guess with the sleeker lines I get what you mean

Still not decided on the Deredo, but it's growing on me. Awful name though!

Yeah, Deredeo sounds like a lunch special at a Mexican restaurant.

Mmm, Deredeo con queso...

Yep. When I first saw it I didn't realise it was named after the old Dread and assumed it was a translation haha.

I still can't stop saying it as dorito. I just had to

I never realized forge-world actually took feed back on the experimental rules. Since GW dosen't let them run social media and stuff. How dose Forgeworld actually get feed back on the experimental rules? just google tacticas and stuff the community writes about their experimental units?

(Dose forgeworld read 1D4chan tacticas also....? O___o )

You could just email them. I mean that's still a thing.

They respond to emails. They nerfed the XV107 when everyone complained it kills marines too easily

FW Bulletin #45 - Horus Heresy Weekender Exclusive Models

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/News/FORGE_WORLD_BULLETIN_45.html

I doubt our Alpha Legion guys here are digging this helmet?

**angelofvengeance**

Yeah wtf is that helmet? lol

**ImAGeek**

What are they..? Past IW and AL I mean. The IW is cool, the AL is weird... What's in his hand pointing at us?

**angelofvengeance**

Maybe a sceptre of some sort?

**Fireball**

It looks like an eye on a stick

**ImAGeek**

He looks kind of chubby too.

**Death By Monkeys**

Aw, you guys are just mad he doesn't have a baby stapled to his forehead and a mustache to twirl.

I think it looks pretty awesome - both of them actually.

**BrookM**

Alpha Legion model most likely has an Archeotech Pistol.

**Sidstyler**

Ironically I think he's one of the least silly Space Marine models I've ever seen. I don't know why but something about it just makes it look like it has better proportions than the plastic models typically do.

It looks like completely straight object, so, unless it's a literal boom-stick, I don't think so.

Love the axe and chestplate on the Alpha. The Iron Warrior looks good, but nothing particularly special.

**ImAGeek**

The AL looks based off of this, which I'm 99% is a SoH marine. I think it would suit the Sons of Horus much better.

**BrookM**

Space Marines need swagger sticks?

**H.B.M.C.**

Well Alpha's gonna just love that...

**Commander Cain**

For a second I thought the Alpha Legion model was holding a croissant in his hand...

Or a turd... the armor is nice I guess, you could make a good company commander out of that, but that dog mask? Who had that bright idea?

**Fireball**

Thankfully a helmet is easy to replace ... I really like the armor and the axe. So I guess I will be looking on ebay for that one.

But even more I am looking forward to the newsflash on Wednesday ... I guess they will announce some new stuff which can be bought at the Weekender for the first time.

**Snrub**

For someone who's part of a legion who prides itself on being just that, he's sure doing a bang up job of standing out.

If by love you mean hate, then yes, of course I do!

On the plus side, I don't have to waste time or money trying to track one down...

**warboss**

Is this guy an Iron Warrior?

**ImAGeek**

Yeah, he is. Painted as one there, at least.

**Lord Blackscale**

That Iron Warrior is awesome! I may have to get one for one of my 40K armies. The Alpha Legion..... I'll pass.

**warboss**

I guess the theme for the event minis is the traitor vs traitor (albeit unknowningly vs moustache twirling) legion campaign in the recent HH book.

**Hulksmash**

I want that Iron Warrior figure. He's pretty!

**warboss**

What mark armor is the IW wearing?

**Lockark**

Almost looks like a suit of mark 3 upgraded with mark 4 tech.

I really like this guy. Hopefully he won't be to hard to get off ebay.
