Those Protectors with Spear/Halbard/No-Dachi thing are very cool - would make good basis for Custodian / Grey Knight conversions

Not sure on the occulum or giant candle dais - but sure they will be made by someone in MDf soon.........

They look too big for 40K, the normal ones stand as high as a terminator, and these look bigger again.

In a game with Wraithknights, there is no longer any 'too big'.

The new guys look cool, and much more interestingly posed than the archer dudes. Part of that is that their helmets are simply far more interesting.

The new terrain looks pretty cool, but I'd want to see it in the flesh; terrain on that scale and strange visuals is a tricky business.

I'm getting really bored of Sigmarites now.

Yeah, that is we weakness of the Weekly release schedule.

We're used to a few new kits each week but at the moment its all Sigmos.

I think a bit of extra Khorne stuff should have been mixed in at least.

Roll on Fire dwarves and whatever they do with everyone else, but mostly fire dwarves, probably riding fire drakes O' doom...or something like that anyways.

Whoa, sweet. That starsoul mace looks great. I would really like prosecutors in kits, too.

Are all Sigmarines just the same leg pose but with slightly different arms?

Yeah.. "bored" is the only expression I have left.

Uh wow, the exact same miniatures for like a month .. that will definately keep players interested... not.

Liking these new Sigmarite models. The mace in particular is pretty badass. I expect we'll see a Prosecutor (winged guys) kit next week, since that's the only unit from the starter box they've not covered yet.

I will say this, I was pretty worried that we'd end up only having 3 guys in the Retributor box. So cheers GW for keeping it at 5...even if they are pretty fething expensive.

They look neat. I like the glaives the most I think.

But I'll echo the sentiment that we need something besides Sigmarines, or in addition to them.

Did my eyes deceive me or did I see pictures/ read something about the flying Sigmarines having shields and lances or spears?

I swear I saw that somewhere, and look forward to having much more angelic flying guys (who will basically become Elohi for a Basilean Kings of War army).

I like having 5, I plan to get a box and do 1 with a hammer to match the 3 from the starter, and then do 4 others maybe with the swordspear thingy, so I'll have 2 units of 4.

Hoping they do 5 with the wingy guys to.

Definitely agree. They look great, but man... I don't care. This one has an axe instead of a hammer? A bow instead of a hammer? Exciting...

+2 I presume this is the last week of the Sigmarine release cycle and there'll be something different coming up this time next week?!

Yes, I hope they'll make some new for the pre-AOS Warhammer factions, prefebally Skaven. It feels like GW is forcing the Sigmarite releases upon us now.

Repackaged Dryads and Treemen.

The more I see swarms of SC Eternals, the less impressive I find them. I think as a thing they would have been more impressive being an attachment to an army of regular humans instead of their own full army. There is just an unending wave of metallics and armor, nothing to deviate and create interest. An army of robots that are somewhat human shaped, not really anything human feeling.

Well... hmm. I was kinda' curious to see what was going to happen with the minis since even when I wasn't playing 40k for years it was fun to look at what was going on.

I mean, I totally get that bling and weapon is often the only thing telling marines apart, but when your most basic troopers are so blinged out, they all have basically the same masks, and there's no differentiation with paint job, there's so little to tell them apart. It looks like two types of troops are distinguished by whether their masks have nose details?

I was really ready to sit back and ignore the rules and look at a trickle of shiny releases esp. after some pretty spectacular end times releases, but, yeah, what a snooze fest. Some nice terrain, though.

I see them as more of a super elite force, where just a few Eternals are more than enough to handle the typical Warhammer hordes.

They do need something in their ranks to break up the same-ness of what they've got so far.

Agreed. Without the context, they just don't look very special.

cool mini, but AoS has turned into a borefest, since it seems that they only release the same mini with only a slight variation.. Guess we will see the angels next week.

I have this week's issue in English.

There's also some fluff about Nagash and the undead and his betrayal of SIgmar.
Nothing new really that isn't already in the books, a couple of nice pics and they are really pushing the Deathrattle Warriors name for skeletons and deathwalkers. And the Mortarchs are back through the magic of Nagash (but they don't use any of their names)

This is how I feel about Space Marines

Oh look some with wolf bits, some with blood drops, oh look some on bikes. While i might get excited about painting some occasionally it dies extremely fast when I'm barraged by them constantly.

Age of Blandmar?

But wait there's more, the character angel the week after. And possibly the totally not a Chaplin guy a week later

Yeah it's wearing off now. They look like different builds of the same kit. Time to release some Chaos

How are Decimators even borderline balanced? Yeah, yeah, AoS doesn't have balance to begin with, but those guys clearly are up a good notch.

While Sigmarines are kinda growing on me with a not-golden paint job, I too am tired of basically the same guys every week. I think they should have released two units and a hero each week or alternated with chaos releases.

its over 4 weeks now?

What is actually inside the armor? Are there bodies inside or just a soul Thingy?

Damn... they look incredible!

The terrain! Holy crap!
