Perturabo IMHO looks awesome!! Wasn't ever too interested in HH Era IW..... but read Angel Exterminatus recently and I thought their descriptions and characters were pretty cool! Looks like an awesome model too! ..... I wonder who his Legions "other" character will be??

**ImAGeek**

That sketch of Perty is new, I wonder if it's from book 6.

From the latest bulletin: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/News/FORGE_WORLD_BULLETIN_67.html

Awesome ... this truly is one of the best models in the character series. Problem is I like both the helmet and the normal head ... which one will it be?

Why not both? Magnets!

Like Perturabo, only "slightly" over the top

**-Shrike-**

Perturabo is really awesome, it looks like he's just bringing his gun to bear to rip apart another squad.

Also, 8 barrels of dakka on a single infantry character? Even the Orks struggle to reach those levels!

**shamikebab**

And yet another price increase :/ They'll be over £100 each by the end at this rate.

I fear you may be correct! Although.. isn't the Perty model meant to be fairly large.. and the base is bigger too.... still.... Right now my list is already sitting at around £400.... make that £470.... .DOH!

I think he should have a few ammo runts with him - those tiny ammo cans on his back are going to run empty after one or two bursts.

I just noticed this. There's a dead pilot inside the Cerastus!

Spoiler:

I don't like that picture - it's one of the saddest parts of a diorama base yet imo.

second place goes to the solar auxillia veterans on conrad curze's base and third goes to the shattered section of sicarian battletank - can't remember who's base that one was on.

**ImAGeek**

The Sicaran is on Sigismund's base.

You'll probably find this on the Emperor's base?

My Warlord has shipped! Now I just have to wait for the previewed head to come out, and maybe a quake cannon just to not have the two same guns.

Just felt the need to share, I'm pretty excited.

Yeah, seriously. Take some pics of the cooler parts, too.

By demand of the Inquisition, you will create a P&M thread with enough pictures to drown a heretic in.

Seconded lol

**whalemusic360**

I can, and will, definitely take some pic of it when I get it. Other than the certificate, and other requests? The box is supposedly pretty cool. Maybe some comparison shots for size?

I will be farming the p&m part out to a more talented person then myself. It will be on his blog, found here. It will match the Warhound found there, that is also mine.

**angelofvengeance**

That'a an awesome looking Warhound! Bet that looks awesome on the table!

**Ratius**

Does Pert come with a gaming base or only the scenic one? The video I couldnt tell too clearly.

**BrookM**

The gaming base fits into the scenic base.

**Ratius**

But whats the gaming base composed off, just the very top of the knights paldron and cockpit is it?

Yeah, I was thinking about that, its probably has a rather slow-ish rate of fire, but the 4 barrels compensate in part for that, along with every round being very powerful.

Complete model on scenic base:

I was kind of looking forward to Peturabo but he's as unappealling to me as most of the others. The ammo belts look a bit goofy and unfunctional, hammer looks pretty wack, and the head cables give him a fat face.

Anyone ever thought that the reason the Tau are getting a Titan is because of the need or the players for more ease of use?

Super Heavy fliers are not easy to move about on the battlefield or transport. Really, they should only be seen in apocalypse games where other such huge things are moping about on the board.

A walker is easier to utilise on the field. Yeah they could have gone with a super heavy hover tank, but maybe they want to leave them with just the Eldar, and again maybe they weren't practical for the user on the table top.

Not to mention, fluff-wise, the Tau are the race most likely to change their doctrine of warfare to suit the situation. There's still room for the whole fast and mobile thing - but perhaps they're finally realizing that they HAVE to have big heavy hitters to complete wiht the Imperial slug-fest.

47 already? Sheesh. That's quite a chunk of change. And a large chunk of resin for 47.

49 and 50 are accounted for on Warseer. And IIRC, they sold 11 at WHW, and took preorders for 25 more, so that takes us to 36 already. So at least 14 in the first day or two. Plus there are the 3-4 FW has for themselves for display.
