How does one crush blood or mong wrath?

Yes I should call them Blightkings as that's what they are - sorry if that made your search harder Ouze - but I think Blightknights sounds better.

And yeah, fantastic models.

I found them fast enough

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.

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.

Does anyone have a pic of these old Khorne assault marines being mentioned?

Big ups for anyone incorporating the new pics in the OP. It's quite a hassle browsing the pages :(

So is the last End Times on pre-order today or next week?

Its up on Pre-order right now. Got my order placed for the Hardback!

Got mine too. Just for a while only the Khorne dudes were up so I was wondering if I was crazy.

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?

Have pics of the sprues been seen yet? that'll tell us if these are made in such a way that conversion possibilities seem good or not.

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.

I realise that there are other issues with the khorne guys and don't really consider them models worth My money; but come on guys...

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.

I love stocks guy! You just know his attack is just kicking people in the shins.

Which is clearly why the Khorne guys are wearing leg armor!

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.

Does anyone else think the standard bearer, with a few weapon swaps and a Wrathmonger head, would make an acceptable Kharne conversion?

these look great compared to the coven throne, flying eagle elf chariot thing, the wolf guy in the mini longboat and other stupid shitGW has released recently.

oh and the mortarchs look dumb as hell too and i used to be a big vampire counts fan. gw has pretty much destroyed my like of them after so many stupid looking undead releases.

The sprue pics look promising. I think I will nd up getting one box, again for my Terminator conversion project.

A damn shame too, some of those weapons look awesome, but pointless if you don't like the models they are attached to

Kits aren't always released in the order they are made.

All of the weapons are attached at the wrists.

hate it when you cant change the poses on the models. Make me want to punch babies in the face.

Probably wont buy them because of that. A shame since the 360 view made me really appreciate these guys

Solitaire and Harlequin vehicles were 2014 too. Besides, as said, they don't necessarily release them in order of production.

I think the 32mm bases were 2013.
