What kind of terrible Database do they have running on the site that it can only handle that number of items? I'd understand if it was for keeping things easy to find, but they already aren't, so it's kind of silly.

The rumour is that Tom Kirbys wife was/is a consultant for the company on IT related stuff.

It's almost certainly not a database issue. Probably for business reasons rather than technical ones.

That Titan Man-Nipple bundle had some 161 quid savings ;O

Thousand Sons stuff:



£31.50



£34

edit.

They could just make Magnus part of Russ' scenic base. And then Thousand Sons players could use the base sans Russ as their primarch.

Ultimately a base with two characters has a lot going for it.

Those are pretty!

Just stared a TS force and these will be perfect. Just waiting on my heads and bodies so I can finish painting my calth set.

I don't dislike the Egyptian theme of the Thousand Sons but the Scarab is a little too much...

Wasn't the scarab a symbol of a particular sect of the 1k sons too?

A little wierd that all heads seems to be identical. The other legions has some variations and/or a bare head.

The Thousand Sons already have a head set with different ones, this is an extra one. I prefer these to the other ones.

I really like the Contemptor too.

Nice, but I prefer MKIII. Where is my MKIII?

Ah, you're correct. I missed these

Wait a year im sure another BoC box will be out with mark3-2 armors.

Hoping for something like the Iron cage or something.

Don't make me beg.

I love the Thousand Sons in the fluff, but have never really been pleased with GW or Forgeworld's representation of them in models.

It is kind of heartbreaking. I feel I should like them, but I just don't.

I've heard MKIII, as well. Here's hoping! I already own 2000 points of gak from FW. If I do another army, a BaC style box set with MKIII would be nice!

I noticed IA4 is no longer available, is this getting reworked or what?

Reworked again?

Fething well hope not. Unless it's to drop Hierodules to 250 points with a big note reading 'WE'RE SORRY. WE HAD NO IDEA WRAITHKNIGHTS WOULD EXIST AS THEY DO NOW.'

I'd rather see them rework Imperial Armour 8, we could do with an up to date Elysian army list.

I'm going to have to try that metallic red on my eventual Sarum Mechanicum allies for my WE.

Will it even matter?

IA3 2nd edition is more up-to-date (2013). It predates the Astra Militarum codex, so it's still a little out of date.

Nnnnnope, not up to date any more. Based on previous codex.

Dread is nice, but whoever painted those infantry was... rushed. At best lol.

It's weird, I can't decide if they went too far with the egyptian stuff or not far enough, either way, I have to say these area a bit of a miss for me. To me, they had to all look way more librarian'y, more severin loth than all the other previous legions. They are definitely one of the outliers for me in terms of shared design with more 'standard' legions.

I like the metallic red scheme though, FW are doing great things with the Alpha legion color mod too.

So far all of the 1k Sons stuff looks terrible to me, like something from a 3rd party company that is trying to get close to them, but not close enough that GW can blast them. Even the contemptor looks like a fan made sculpt. Maybe the unique units and characters will prove to be more impressive.

I agree - the comparison to the sculpted detail on the Alpha Legion contemptor is particularly stark. the sculpted chest logo thing here looks ok, but not really great FW quality that they are capable of.

The TS contemptor looks like it was sculpted for plastic release rather than resin.
