Again though, those arms are too modern for Heresy-era armour.

That is my problem with them. I don't want Mk VII arms on my Mk III bodies. The new UM shields have arms that will work for both Mk III and Mk IV.

Is it really that hard to covert the arms? I would just clip the arms off at the shoulder and glue on a suitable Heresy-Era arm to fit. I know its work, but that goes with the hobby usually. Most of the Mk7 armor arm would be obscured enough as to not matter behind the shield and under the shoulder pad anyhow.

And that really only applies for non-Mk3 armor, because that kit exists and is actually not that much more expensive than the new Ultramarines upgrade kit and it comes with the Marines too!

If your playing a Fists legion/chapter army wouldn't the Phalanx Warden upgrades work for all your breacher needs?

You answered your own question... those are Phalanx warder upgrades

The arms don't worry me so much (though half of FWs profit fomes from people wanting small variations on their toy soldiers). But the Um symbol on both shield and sword is imo a missed opportunity. I'm happy for the Um players among us, but this is a release that could have easily been more generic (a few roman style swords would fit imo in any legion).

That said - it's just an opinion and certainly nothing to argue about...

Ah, the Boarding upgrade set with older Mks conversation, I think this sprung up a few pages back. Didn't have a problem myself, the shield covers all the differences on the forearm of the arm, a MkIII shoulder pad covers the differences on the arm. So all you can see is a portion of the elbow pad which doesnt match. The degree you can see varies on the arm. The MkIII pads touch the shield edges when used on those arms.

The shooting arm is obviously different, but the standard arms fit well enough.

MkVII is also very close to MkV and pretty much identical to MKVI, so the only noticeable differences are largely covered by the pad. MkIV has a slightly different elbow piece, so is in the same camp as MkIII.

I would appreciate a re-tooled set with generic shields that are not attached to the arms, and a set of shield-arms for each armour Mk, but I don't think it is necessary.

Warder shields are nice. For Phalanx Warders. When funds allow, I will probably be getting a set or two. But for the two squads of MANDATORY Troops, I would rather have regular boarding shields, either blank or with IF regalia on them.

You know, some of us with skitarii/admech stuff in 40k would like access to vehicles, and sweet 30k robots. What the feth is with the delay on the new imperial armor book. It was teased 3 YEARS AGO.

It's almost done, it's been delayed as they got everyone to help finish Inferno. It'll be out sometime after February.

Is it strange that the Ultramarine Breacher Siege Squad looks more like Alpha Legion then they do Ultramarines?

WOuld make a little sense as to why the press release got typo'd so badly they misspelt every single word.

To be fair, they could be Alpha Legion, and we’d never know until it’s too late.

The typos are a little comical. Someone needs to change out the grots in the webserver.

The typo's might hide a message to Alpha legion operatives.

Looks like the fantastic Exalted Bloodthirster will be making a return to both universes.

Is there any 40k rules for the Deredeo lascannon upgrades or is it 30k exclusive?

what primarch will they do next?

Magnus. After that, most likely Sanguinius, depending on what's in Book 8.

And Dorn sometime after Ollanius Pius.

Seems like FW's "very soon" is at least 4 weeks :(

It would be hilarious if they re-release the Bloodthirster before the Porphyrion.

Nooooooooooooo!!!

Exalted Bloodthirster?

Probably because he's quite a big melon-fether.

That is the first thing I thought also...humm that almost looks more like the AL teal/greenishy blue then the dark Legion era Ultramarine blue. I like the fact the UM's are the old school dark blue in the Heresy Era, it's like the wolves being the dark grey and not the light blue grey they are in 40k.


As for the spelling typos on FW's page no self respecting alpha legionnaire would make basic grammatical errors like that, they would of never made it past pre legion screening or if they did somehow slip in they would of had a 'training accident'

IF breacher shields would be a epic win with a huge side of awesome sauce

He wants his decals already . Don't tell him I hacked their computer system and deleted the file though

To be fair I did save a copy of the file and will hold it ransome until a Warlord Titan is delivered to my home.

I can't decide if I want those decals to come out so Em can die happy, or if I want them to never come out so he lives in torment for thousands of years. I think the latter. Though if FW could tease them again, then still not put them out, just to keep hopes up, that would be fantastic.

Well if you deliver the warlord to me then I can make sure you get your wish
