Woof woof, etc.

Wait, that is a contemptor?

I thought it was a Terminator! Love it.

I also approve of huge Magnus. Give the man the power he deserves.

Apparently, in the new catalogue the Mor Deythan squad has had a price drop from £50 to £39. Still steep for five Legionaries.

Oh boy, definitely going to have to get that contemptor and turn it into a Roman legionnaire to use as Honoured Telemechrus for my ultramarines

According to battle bunnies the book after Inferno will have Dark Angels and Blood Angels in it.

Dark angels you say? *raises head*

Now all we need is MKII in plastic and I might start 30k army myself!

The horns on Magnus remind me of Hellboy.

I think I would have preferred the smaller normal demon prince sized magnus. Not everything that is powerful in 40k needs to be turned into a cabbage patch kid sized army man.

Oh my! Magnus at that size is totally bonkers amazing. I really am tempted to turn to Chaos just to use that model.

The size for Magnus is correct per the book "Battle of the Fang", where Magnus can increase his size at will and pick up dreadnoughts in his hands and throw them.

Finally home. Anyone want a pic dump per usual?

I didn't realize this was mostly HH stuff. I'm truly disappointed at the lack of any info on IA 14. We've been waiting for nearly a year and this custodest stuff just rolled out and now FW is all over it. I haven't purchased anything in that long since I've been saving my money and waiting for the new AdMech options so that I could load up on FW stuff but I really must say that with he amount of time they've taken I've completely lost interest. I'm pretty much ready to just list it all on eBay. They took me past anticipation and into apathy and I know I'm not the only one who feels that way.

So, what new stuff has been previewed

It's already been said that IA 14 won't be out until next year, if you were expecting anything you weren't keeping up with the news very well.

When are the Phoenix Spears released ? One week after the FW event ?

There has been rumor, not news. The only actuall news has been the previews that FW has officially released, most of which were long ago. From a customer perspective, looking at what the company has actually put out, it looks horrible. FW announced a new product. Began to market and hype it through events and then forgot about it all together. Almost everything else They've previewed this year will be available by Christmas, yet IA:14 is nowhere to be found. Hell, recently it seems like they've been dropping new products left and right and these custodes came out of nowhere and they've fleshed them out into a whole line seemingly overnight. It's just not good followthrough and it's beginning to leave a bad taste in my mouth. It's one thing to just hope That something will be release, like sisters. It's another to be told it's coming almost a year ago and then not only not have it arrive, but then to see a deluge of other new stuff in its stead while everyone at FW suddenly stops talking about it like it never existed in the first place.

"I went to the FW event and the author said 'delayed until 2017'" is news. These are not rumors from anonymous sources we're talking about, we have explicit statements from FW. And yes, it's frustrating to see IA 14 delayed in favor of more 30k stuff and garbage like the knight heads, but having a poor schedule is not the same as no news existing. I am not defending the delay, only pointing out that if you've been following news on the book there was no reason to expect to hear anything besides "still coming later" at this event.

It isn't like IA14 is the only delayed thing either, HH7: Inferno has also been delayed (although admittedly that delay has been known for a long while. We were told 1-2 events ago it wasn't going to be here until February unlike the November/December release they had mentioned earlier in the year).

You just have to hope it doesn't end up like a certain sheet of decals... (I'm sorry for bringing them up, I swear!)

I didn't realise the wolves were quite that big! They dwarf a standard marine if I'm seeing them right. They do look amazing though.
Custodes releases are hot to trot. No sign of any sister vehicles or alternate models yet.

It should also be pointed out that Custodes haven't come out of nowhere, we were told they would be coming in HH7 way back in February, so it really shouldn't be a surprise that since we are, allegedly, only a few months away from said books release that models are being previewed.

If anything, it was a far bigger surprise to find GW main tying in the Burning of Prospero box set with HH7 by releasing their own Custodes and Sisters, I can guarantee no one saw that one coming.

I got the 2017 FW catalogue, it seems the price rises are generally pretty minor.
I dunno where an appropriate place to post those would be.

When we found out that book 7 was delayed until February ish we were also told that IA14 was coming after it at the same time

Ah, I didn't know as I haven't really been paying attention to IA14 news, just HH news

If Custodes are bigger again than Space marines, wouldn't their Contemptor be bigger than the normal legions? I understand not their entire body is interred but still i'd guess physically even the good bits they use would be larger?

I raise you one Contemptor chainfist. Like seriously, who decided this was an ok design?!

This is the reason why my comtemptor doesn't have a chain fist

It shouldn't, no.

I've wanted a Mor Deythan squad for a looong time. The price has been the single factor preventing me from doing so.

Maybe it'll drop a bit further soon?

I don't usually like the Contemptors but I kind of love that Custodes one.
