YOU do realize one dude has a Scorpion tail coming out of his ass, im sure that guy has more on his mind than "Do I truly represent what a real warrior would wear in battle..."


Sounds to me like that guy out of all of them should've questioned the only leg armour dress code. I mean how hard is it gonna be to put on plate armour when you have a giant scorpion tail in the way?

Around here? Talk gak about SoB or Ultramarines, Or DA.

"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

Have to say, I still remember the WD where those 2nd Ed Khorne Assault marines were pictured.....and they STILL make my mind boil at there absolute STUPIDITY even now!!!!! Argggghhhh....cant get them out of my head!!! I mean, did the sculptor never try walking with one shoe off? It's an actualy technique to make it harder for prisoners to run away - it totally throws you off balance.... And isn't part of the point of power armour that it's a vacuum suit so the SPACE marines can fight in SPACE? Arggh.....so much hatred, all these years later... Oh, and the models were actually crap too.

They look better once you can see them in 3D, in my opinion, they've got a decent back armour plate so the overall armour coverage is better than it appeared from the front. I'm definitely picking some up to convert 40k chaos lords / obliterators / that sort of thing with. I wouldn't use them for fantasy, though!

Sigh.

I had a plan for these, but the kit just doesn't look modular enough to do the kitbashing I hoped to.

Is it me, or have the plastics been coming with fewer and fewer assembly options recently?

I'm actually liking the look of the Wrathmongers now. Slightly ashamed.

I think I see some True Scale Berzerker potential.

Completely agree Az. There's a lot less dynamic posing available. Short of cutting the kits up.

Speaking of 'metal pants' Isn't that nurgle Guy with the axe that everyone is converting all the time basically armoured similarly? I have never heard anyone complain about him.

This guy?



Well, probably because there's a precedent for Nurgle stuff to be unarmoured, because they're basically dead already. Besides, it kind of makes sense to wear essentially no armour over wearing half a set.

That, and it doesn't look daft with bunny ears.


I think the more important point is that this composition is balanced. Sensible or not, it is composed much better.

Interesting that the sprue shows 2014 as the year, looks like we are moving up in the production calendar.

Harlies were 2013 I believe.

In terms of quality and detail these are amazing, whether we agree with the esthetic or not.

^ I don't know, by my quick count the sprues have:
5x legs (the limiting factor in total dudes)
10x torsos
9x front armors
7x shoulder armors
5x back armors
7x unhelmeted heads
6x helemeted heads
10x axes
10x chain hammers
6x swords
3x mauls
5x icon back poles
1x giant icon

There's definite limits in possibility without getting into a lot of cutting and sculpting, but overall options? Seems like there's a good bit there to me. Not as mix-and-match as many common infantry kits, but it looks to be better than monopose characters or snapfits.


I meant poses, rather than bits.

There's no doubt the kits are coming with more and more stuff in them, there just seems to be fewer and fewer ways to glue them together without converting.

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.
