Hmm, there have been rumours of a new Priest kit, but that actually looks blinged enough to me to be Corbulo... the chalice is identical to Corbulo's too, so maybe it's a combo plastic kit?

Yep, excited now

So help me god, if I see someone selling four of them for 100% increased prices I'll kick a child.

Really? We get picked on in highschool, we get bullied and here you are ready to kick a child who is innocent and has nothing to do with it. Joke or not, it's not funny.

We are geeks and nerds. This is how we grow up?

Lol speak for yourself =)

I'm not a fan of that priest kit and prefer Corbulo's sculpt despite the age. That new kit looks awkwardly plastic.

More important mark IV plastic legs on the tactical to the right .

Those come with the standard Tactical that released last year. I'm looking at my Tact Sergeant right now with Mk IV legs.

With these new tacticals, I am hoping we will be able to take either a heavy or special weapon in five man squads. Do you all think that will happen?

DAYUM, I like that bling! Look at that sweet chainsword!

GW keeps trying to murder my wallet it seems.

They should be as they are most likely being brought into line with Codex: Not-Red Space Marines.

Yup. Thats corbulo. Im sure of it. Also in love with that cover art. Raymond Swanland strikes again.

Remember it's about narrative like I said before and the reason why GW takes this approach is that they want to keep the game as open as possible. They want to give players these cool things for their armies.

This. Some people get a bit too hung up on the fluff. We want cool things, they want to sell us cool things, win/win get over it!

That's great, except for the fact that for some of us the "cool things" we want are fluff. I know it's not nice, but I honestly hope one day in the future GW drop BA as a unique codex and roll them into C:SM, just so I can be there to tell you "don't get so hung up on the things you like, win/win get over it!".

Why would they do that? This thread along with countless others across the Internet are testament to the fact Blood Angels have a huge independent following.

The fluff is important – extremely important – to me too, but this hobby and the universe in which it exists is a constantly changing and developing thing. We can't let it stagnate and be locked in the past.

It's supposed to be fun, just try not to take it too seriously.

But that was supposed to be the point of my comment; you don't consider this particular thing important, so your response is "get over it", "don't take it seriously" etc etc, but would you enjoy being subjected to that kind of condescension if things you DO consider important were changed/removed? "Blood Angels are just red Marines anyway duder, get over it, why so srs, lulz" etc might be a technically valid response in the sense that anyone is allowed to hold and to express their opinions, but it's still crass and tactless to respond in that fashion to someone who's having their enjoyment of their hobby diminished.

EDIT: Also what sock said.

Like I said before, fluff changes in a lot of universes. I've seen it in Star Wars, Batman and plenty of others. When you are saying here is not the equivalent of giving the The Penguin a new back story, but getting rid of The Penguin altogether and pretending like he didn't happen. They are completely different things.

Whoa Corbulo looks awesome.. I hope it's a multi-use kit that *can* make Corbulo or some random sanguinary priest.

Doesn't have to be, just needs to be modular enough to kitbash.

I'm just happy the tac squad only costs £26

Its also not corbulo. Its just a sanguinary priest according to price list

Something about new Corbulo that looks more like options put together rather than the single monopose character we usually see.
On the other hand, that skirt would not look proper on ordinary hq/command.
Perhaps mephiston/corbulo dual kit.
I really like it though, but can understand if people used to the simplicity of old Corbulo take this as an insult.
The real problem here is the sternguard veteran kit being so pimped out with bling an actual commander/named character must stand way over the top.

Just remember for the rumor tracker that all the rumors predicting a GK style release with no new models were wrong

Where are you seeing this? Because £26 is a) more reasonable than I expected and b) easily worth it for the upgrade over the already awesome Tactical Squad.

Wow, that priest is... bad.

I like the chainsword and the chalice, but "robes strategically positioned to reveal nipples" reminds me of girls flashing their tits at Mardi Gras for beads.

And the leg position looks super awkward. Maybe the model will look better in person (but there's no way to fix the boobrobe I fear).

And why robes anyway? I thought that was exclusively a DA thing...

Have any of the 6th/7th edition plastic kits been modular besides just a hand/weapon swap? All the ones I've seen have been monopose and most don't even have a wargear swap.

The DE Archon could do head and arm swaps iirc.

Prices are on blood angels facebook page. Its not corbulo nor is it a multipart kit. Its an £18 plain Jane sanguinary priest

@ Sock, Yodhrin, fair point, my apologies.


But now... New Priest kit, or Corbulo..?! The body would even make a good base for Mephiston!

No worries, fella. Kudos for being a gentleman on the internet. For what it's worth I can see where you're coming from and I'm not averse to all fluff changes, I just happen to disagree in this case as I think it would be too drastic.


Now, this Priest sums up how I feel about a lot of recent GW releases. The constituent parts are quite cool (the arms especially so), but the whole doesn't quite do it for me.

I'm not sure what's going on behind his head and the gorget seems to be way to tall; the robes don't really fit if that's meant to be Corbulo, Need to see some more angles before drawing a definitive conclusion.


However, the body looks like it could be a good basis for a Mephiston. Do we perhaps have a multipart plastic kit inbound that could be used to make one of Corbulo, Mephiston or a generic Sanguinary Priest?

Not a huge fan of the Priest, but I have enough kitbashed that it's a non-issue.

Look at my cup.... my cup is amazing.

I agree with you there. The chainsword arm is awesome and the outstretched arm would look killer with a bolter in it. I will buy it just to make some kind of super cool veteran sergeant

I prefer my own sanguinary priest

The exception I was referring to was the commissar who IIRC had a weapon swap but that still in my book isn't enough to justify the ridiculous prices for monopose single plastic figs. Also, from Motograter's post, it looks like this will be a generic monopose priest.

Motograter wrote:Prices are on blood angels facebook page. Its not corbulo nor is it a multipart kit. Its an £18 plain Jane sanguinary priest

And the ridiculous prices continue. I thought it was bad enough when they did the fireblade and commissar at cheaper than that.. but that takes it a step further. I can justify the space marine commander at that price a few years back because he came with a truckload of unique bits for customization but there is no way in hell that a single monopose marine sized fig with little or no customization is worth that price to me.

Its not multi part. The description in white dwarf says sanguinary priest and that's all.

No doubt it can and will be used as conversion pieces for corbulo or maph but it is just a priest

Like the Priest's sword thing, very cool looking.

This release is going to hurt my wallet so much!

D

wow, this priest is awesome
