could not agree with you more, Padre!!!
yellow is my least favorite color...
i'm off to bleach my eyes now :(
not a bad sculpt, though...

now i'm just waiting to see if any cool previews come out of Amsterdam this weekend

cheers

I'm a huge Imperial Fist fan so that color scheme brings a tear to my eye. So Beautiful my big, yellow cheese!

Ugh, nope I have to agree with the dissenters, not attractive. That's why I always prefer people who lean more towards the Mustard end of the spectrum when painting their IFs rather than the dayglo safety jacket look FW have chosen for their IF vehicles.

Hmmm... I always preferred a more vibrant yellow for fists (not to FWs extent though). Mustard fists just look like a different chapter to me.

From fb:

Who's facebook??

Also saw the rules for it leaked from the open day on facebook-

Vulturax Statos-Automata- 175 points

WS:3 BS:4 S:4? T:7 W:4 I:3 A:2 Ld:8 Sv:3+

2xSetheno Pattern Havoc Launchers(48",S5 AP5,Heavy 2,Blast,Twin Linked,Re-roll sucessful cover saves)
Enhanced Targeting Array,Flare Shield,Searchlight

Is a Fast Attack choice for Mechanicum Taghmata. Can take another 2 Vulturax in the unit,has options for blessed autosimulacra and power blades.

Is there stats for the Ta'unar heavy railgun?

From FB:

Leman Russ looks very feral. One of my favourites of the Primarch models so far.

GW Day in Amsterdam was a rip off! pay 12euro to only shop at a FW stand.... No normal GW store items. Bad placement of golden daemon with he sun in the back...

I don't think i go next time only if you want to buy over 100 euro+ it's worth to go but the place was hard to reach with public transporting.

O and they only had 30k legion stuff, i buy some FW Nids and its all ordering only + side was no shipping cost.

Two axes, a sword, and a shield... Anyone spot a ranged weapon on the model that I'm missing? I was almost positive that he was said to carry a sword and a bolt pistol.

I think Leman Russ looks pretty awesome - maybe not painted blonde (or as blonde), and with wolves running alongside he'd look even better. But I agree with Steiner, probably my favorite to date!

And that Vulturax is cool, although almost reminds me of the FW Nurgle drone.

Maybe because the Vulturax is what will become a drone over time?

Drones are a lot smaller I think. But they certainly represent the same technology and design, warped over thousands of years by the Dark Mechanicum.

Picked up a Russ for a fellow DCM, here's a component breakdown for those interested:





Russ has a pistol at the very least to go with his sword and axe.

Also, Freki and Geri are on the way, confirmed!

Russ has a conceal carry permit. He wears it in a middle back holster

The council of Nibea formally made the whole empire into an open-carry state. Russ claim he can still carry his pistol concealed though. It technically not being a firearm since it's bullets are not propelled by gunpowder but through the spirit of Fenris.

Painted pimp wagons. Via fb again:

No Fires of Cyraxus again!? I'm starting to think its been delayed into next year.

It'll be available Warhammer 40,000 weekend I'm betting...

They had some nice book art on display, plus sweeeeeet art from the upcoming Prospero book, but that's about it.

They said late this year or early next year at the last event I'm pretty sure (same for Inferno).

A thing of beauty, the gun placement at the front bothers me greatly though, they seem fixed forward firing.

Where are all the new models? the previews of upcoming releases?
Dont opendays normally have more stuff?

This is so lame for an open day. Nothing cool to show off.

Nothing cool for you maybe.. where is that tiny violin again?

I hope they bring out that new 40k book just to shut you up.

It's Leman Russ! The next month to two months is going to have him out on general release, the Prospero plastic box set from GW and the book of the Propsero 30k story.

Why are you surprised that there is not a sniff of this 40k campaign book when there is a 40k day in early November when it will be preview time for it?

That tank is excellent barring the silly front spine protusion that most of the FW mech have, Shaving that off....

LR. Hmmm, back shield is excellent as are the weapons but to me, it looks like hes going to literally take off.
On. A. Jetpack.
Dislike.
