One of them at least appears to have a gun. Maybe 2 actually, when you look at the initial leaked catalogue image.

I like boobs.
I like plate armor.
boob plate is full of two things I like.
go go boob plate.

I could see these joining my stormcast as well. even having said that, I don't think that they look out of place in the 40 / 30k setting at all.

After seeing the contents of the box set. I'm a little disappointed by all the legion specific stuff. I will have to pick up the Mk3 and Tartoros sprues once they hit the market on the internet.

Where did you see the sprues?

Everything that's been hinted/dropped today has been that the only specifically Legion stuff is the two characters.

The odd thing about this release is that I have never really been a fan of Mark III power armour but these plastics look great All told only the SW character and Custodes are a bit "Meh" to me.

But those Tartaros...wow. A nice variety of weapons as well.

One has a flamer, it wouldn't surprise me if the others at the very least carried a sidearm of sorts.

You mean, those two characters? The terminators and MK. III sets are all unmarked and can be done in any legion colours without cleaning up.

An entire two models then...

If you read the description, the terms and marines are generic. ..

I don't know how it was in the 30k novels, but in "The Beast Arises", all SoS seem to be Sword users only. At least I don't recall any of them using any firearms, they are absolutely badass with their sword though.

Badass enough to have ranged attack swords?

Some may hope so.

... not gonna lie, I now wish they had some kind of "slashing" technique that'd send a cutting wave flying through the air Yeah, I guess rules-wise it would be better if they had the possibility of ranged attacks.

Agreed, part of the decision to go Emperor's Children was I like MkIV. Any of the Legions that favoured earlier Mks was a mark against.
But these, I'm mentally painting with my eyes.

Oh look, BOOB ARMOUR. Yes they are females.

I actually thought GW would get away from boob armour. Sadly they didn't.

Can we please, please, please have one god damned discussion about female miniatures without derailing it by talking about boob armor for the fifteenth billion time? I can't wait for the plastic SoB to be released so we can listen to the same complaining for the fifteenth billion and one time. Boob armor isn't going away, so maybe it is best that find some way for you to deal with this obviously troubling matter on your own.

How about No. This is a discussion after all. Before I didn't care, it was a joke, but now that you mention it and make it personal, yes we can keep talking about it now. I wouldn't have said any more but since you are so passionate about it and had to say "matter on your own", I think I will keep bringing it up now. You want to get personal, so can I.

If you do not like it, do not buy it.
Put the heads on male bodies if you want.
They have breasts, sorry to have to be the one to educate you that women do.
They are not hanging out, and are quite tasteful they are very well done.

No body has - why should they? I'm of the opinion boob plate is bad as well, but let's not crucify GW for this. They don't deserve it.

Where do you get me crucifying GW? Just make some fun at them.

What exactly are you making fun of? The same design that every recognizable fantasy/sci-fi work has used for decades? You see how that doesn't make sense?
Everyone is eating apples. You come into the room, "Hey, Apples are the suck!"
It looks like an attack. If you meant it as a joke, clarify. The internet only conveys what you type.
The models look gorgeous (in an age where GW has been critiqued for a perceived lack of female models.) This is a good step forward, hopefully followed by many more.

The Custodes and Sisters of Silence are both full kits according to Atia, i.e. With weapons options and stuff. So you might be able to give all the Sisters guns.

This is great news!

Here's to the rules for them in 30k then, though knowing myself.. I'll be going with the rule of cool, so swords for all!

Really dig the SoS-models. They look amazing!
Dissapointed about still seeing boobplate on them, though.
Would really like to see GW do something different with female models in the future.

At least they have made all their female tau commanders without it (though, they are i. Mechs, so that would be a little extreme, had they done that ).

Oh, and if anyone is curious, here's link has a little rundown of some of the problems with boob plate
http://www.tor.com/2013/05/06/boob-plate-armor-would-kill-you/

Awww, it's babby ahriman.

Also, what do the sisters of silence count as? Curious to as to their rules.

Oh wow I would love for custodes and sisters to be full kits, was expecting mono pose.

I wonder what army they will count as. Or maybe like sisters will just be an elite choice for any imperium army.

another awesome Space Wolves plastic character to get my brushes on!!!
this box is full of so many beautiful minis...
the next few weeks are going to drag on, waiting to crack this set open :(

great to see that video today, with crisp shots of nice paint jobs

cheers

They'll probably be classified as "Agents of the Emperor", like the Navigator.

Every leak and info will be collected in the 1st post. Thanks all who contributed today. The game looks amazing.

@Davor: it's stylised armour. Lots of other mini companies do boob plate.

I'm buying this. And I got overkill this Tuesday, but I must have this. Custodes - good, Tartaros - best termie variant, imho. Characters are ok, I like the SW better, tbh. Mk3- awesome!im thinking about doing a small force of marines, my own chapter, that use different marks for different types of squads. So, not really caring about background, just what looks cool. MK 3 for tacticals, mk4 for veterans, Mk8 for heavy weapons, Beacky helmets for other veterans, ect.. And 0 ornaments, just militaristic plain design.

I like SoS, but that boob armour, man.. I'm glad they have it. Otherwise they would look like oversized eldar. It's a 28mm *HEROIC SCALE* game, how else will you be able to emphasize, that they are SISTERS, not brothers of silence?
How else would they look good? With a precise waist and finger proportions??

Seriously that topic is beaten to death, why are people still complaining? Nobody complains in Infinity threads, or kingdom death threads.
It smells of justice warriors deeds, and one sided as well, because only GW gets " that".
Well and other company, the one that did termie female armor with boobs out, but that looks bad and stupid, imho.

Wait, so all of it is legion-specific, then?

Count me out.

Believe me, they do.

Start a separate thread about that particular topic if you like, but if you keep bringing it up here, it will be considered spam, off topic and possibly against Rule 1 as well, depending on context.

Does anybody find odd the fact, that it will be a different game, judging by the tiles (solely so far)?
They could`ve expanded BaC somehow, methinks

Ebay already has the bitz sellers taking pre-orders for indlvidual units. Just ordered 2 SoS squads for £20 a piece with free shipping. I can live with that.

I personally wasn't particularly impressed with the rules of the BaC set so I'm waiting to see how this one is, and if it's a completely different set. The dice look like they could have d8s and d10s (but that may just be lowres jpeg), so I'm definitely interested.

Apparently, they did, but do not care. At all.

I suspect we'll see red text in very short order...


In the mean time, I like that the SoS have a new overall aesthetic that's distinctive from every other 40k female we've seen to date.
