Is anyone else finding that his head looks massive considering the lack of a helmet? Also the leading leg looks extremely thin. He's certainly not giving the same response as the 'Hulk Terminators did.

The captain is a bit meh. I think if the Iron Halo was lowered to sit on top of the armour with the chalice going through the middle of it, it'd look better. Also looks like they copy pasted most of Sergeant Lorenzo from Space Hulk

Huh. It does. But Lorenzo is actually a lot more fancy than this.

Explains the similarities of the Broodlord as well.

And the Ork Warboss...and the Space Wolf character...

All of them were done with CAD.

So what are we actually looking at for each force? From what I've read its

BA TDA captain with TH and Stormbolter
5 Terminators
5 Death Company
1 Dreadnought
Vs
Broodlord
8 Genestealers
3 Warriors
1 Carnifex

40 GBP?

Does it sound like a good investment for a Vanilla Marine (Blood Ravens) and Nid Player? I don't need the Captain or Stealers so might sell them on but the others I can put to good use.

Wow, that Captain doesn't look all that great at all compared to the Space Hulk Sergeant. Part of me would rather get the SH sergeant off eBay, hack his sword off and put a TH there and call it a day. Still, as someone with NO BA stuff, this is better than nothing. Between the Shooty Terminators and this guy, the two DC sets are the only saving grace. Definitely liked Krom better.

It wont be £40 I wouldnt think, £75 would be my guess. It has a small rulebook and a mission guide thingy to.

Hmm. That might be pushing my limits then. Real shame too. I had heard 40 and jumped for joy but £75 breaks the bank for me.

I'll be selling the Dreadnought then too, no use for a DCD.

At £75 it is still a great deal:

Space Marine Terminator Captain rrp say £12+
Terminators £28
Dread £ 28
Death Company £20.50 =£88.50

Broodlord say £12+
Genestealers £18
Warriors £31
Carnifex £32.50 =£93.50

So combined £182.50 rrp before the mini rulebook and campaign book.

Couldn't you just build it as a Librarian Dread or Furioso?

You can

Thanks, Pretre!

Got it from Mexican Ork on FB.

That's why I can't see it, FB work-blocked.

The pose is somewhat...uninspired...which for some reason seems to often happen with GW plastic characters. It's a thin line as you don't want to repeat poses too much, and especially with Terminator armour, one should avoid overly dynamic ninja poses, but still.

It's bit subdued model compared to SH ones. OTOH, finally a plastic Terminator captain! There has been enough of Power armour characters, thank you.

So they are tactical termies, meh. Assault terminators would have been better because SH had mostly tacticals, and also, tactical termies just kinda suck these days.

I'm sorry but the Captain doesn't do it for me, they have basically copied the Space Hulk design. I don't know what I was expecting just not a Terminator Captain. Although I will admit that's what we are missing in the large array of special characters already present.

Same here as I'll pass on the captain and would rather continue to use the much better Sergeant Lorenzo. Also, this now makes it official that higher ranking blood angels will have vampire teeth and Bieber hair unfortunately.

Thing is, they haven't simply copied the SH BA Terminator Design. They've actually toned it down a lot...and it is poorer for it.

If I can order this through a discount store I will pick it up for sure. Stock price is £100, while a good deal, it personally a little tight for me right now.

yeah that captain really has pointy elbows

New 32mm bases for Death Company with Jump Packs?

This looks ideal for me. Sooner the better. May drop the Nid painting production line for a bit.

Woh your right they look bigger

I dunno if it's the hair or what, but the Captain just looks so...baby-faced. Like straight from the Cullen family...

They look way larger than the Gaunts ones', that's for sure.

I have to agree, the Captain isn't fantastic, makes me a wee bit sad but the box overall seems to be pretty damn cool. That's some crazy saving.

I don't play BA, just Vanilla. The icons and stuff can be put to use or scrapped off because I'm a Blood Raven, but the loadouts of the BA dreads don't line up with the Vanilla rules. The closest would be an ironclad which I already have.

Its not a bad one to have though.

Turn the force weapon into a hammer is pretty ballin.

Am i the only person that actually likes the new captain? Hes not quite as cool as the SW one, but pretty close IMO.

Undeniably great. Just not great enough to be affordable.

The captain is fine, I like him. Those are the new round 32mm bases

Krom had a much more dynamic pose than this guy. I get PA vs TDA means this captain shouldn't be all that flexible, but even regular Terminators have much better poses than him. He isn't terrible, just lackluster. It just reinforces my belief that this boxed set would have been much better served with a Reclusiarch with a jump pack to run with the DC than a Terminator anything.

Are those death company on bigger bases? The mentioned 32mm...

Bigger bases for some reason. That's annoying.

And the Captain appears to be a less detailed version of Lorenzo.
