Two part MK3 backpacks. I prefer resin too, thankyouverymuch.

That's even better. No messy resin to bother with.

I actually prefer rain to plastic, its just so much lighter and the spruces aren't so complicated.

Spruce is a type of evergreen tree. Plastic model kits come on a sprue or multiple sprues.

Yes, yes, I'm guessing that's just the phone posting/autocorrect world we all live in now, right?

And besides, of course spruces prefer rain to not getting rain!

Meanwhile, we're STILL waiting for all those missing Primarch models!!!

Nah, you don't need the likes of Dorn or Alpharius. Just like we don't need that next Imperial Armour book or those decals. We need other things for people to whine about.

But II and XI were removed from records, of course you wont get models for them.

All kidding aside, I bet we'll learn all about them two too (!) eventually - and get models for them!

I wouldnt mind that actually.

It would be neat if the two of them also made up a duelling scene.

I would like it if they did this... but they were statues in a backdrop, with faces obscured by time.

So, I was reading through the rules for Inferno and I noticed something awesome. The Spear Dreadnought has A LOT of attacks. 4 for being a normal dreadnought, +1 for having two dreadnought close combat weapons, and another +1 when you add in the Spear. As it is worded, you do NOT give up a dreadnought close combat weapon when you add the spear, unlike the sword and shield dread.

That's 7 attacks on the charge, any 6's to hit are D-strength, and it has a good amount of ranged attacks as well. Add into that the front armor of 13, WS and BS 5, and an invulnerable save and this thing is a beast.

Sure, 240 points is expensive, but for some reason I think this dread might be worth it. Now if only they had 40k rules.

I'd expect to see them more in 40k than 30k. Seems like the biggest bombshell to move the story forward in this primarch world we live in.

They could just do 2 models on plinths covered by cloth, just like in the black librarybooks

Will be such an epic letdown if they do. Nothing can be really written that would match up expectations there.

Just got my contemptor today which is nice and early. It is STUNNING. Top 3 kits FW have ever done.

The spear is completely handless so you can make your model with the non spear option. It has the three gun options for each arm and there are multiple hands designed with the spear or no spear in mind.

Well done FW, top tier kit this one. Cannot wait to get stuck in.

The 305pt Mhara Ghal is crying.

As are those who love it and just want it to be worth its cost

Serves those double crossing heretics right!

I wouldn't be too surprised if the Custodian Terminators are going to be a plastic kit. Writing on the wall rumor wise seems to put them as eventually getting their own faction for 40k

Bah. While it means cheaper number of models in army is so small price with resin isn't too much of an issue anyway and resin results in higher quality details. Not nice :(

The plastic Custodes are detailed enough IMO ... leave Resin to special characters (Valdor!?). Plastic Custodes Terminators would be awesome!!!

Agreed. Plastic terminators means more money to spend on SAggitarum upgrade kits, dreadnoughts, and vehicles. And the somewhat overpriced Pallas. Like the model, but both the size and number of parts for 60GBP is rather disappointing, compared to the slightly larger Caladius. The Coronus on the other hand is a lovely model. easy to build, well detailed, and larger than I expected. From the pictures, I expected it to be the size of a Land Raider, but it is basically a grav-Spartan.

Now waiting for the bikers, Saggitarii, Caladius Annihilator, and Moritat to make another order.

Id like a Custodes upgrade kit, id like solarite gauntlets for my Hetareon without having to convert them

This week's offerings.

Griff Oberwald - £18




Skaven Rat Ogre - £20 (seemingly bred for hairlessness, would certainly leave less grappling opportunity for opponents)



There's also a couple of Reikland Reaver bundles, but it's just the plakky team and Star Players.

That rat ogre looks even worse than the preview.

I kinda like Griff but something feels off about his pose. Can't really put my finger on it.

...how... how did they make a worse sculpt than the previous Griff? I loved this one:



The new one feels oddly older... and I don't think it works as a homage, it just looks dated to me. Ugh.

Griff is supposed to be closer to retirement age by now, which was the intention of the developers.

Any guesses on what the intentions were with the Shaven Rat Ogre.TMpending.

To try and get out of having to make Blood Bowl stuff so they can get back to Space Marines?

Griff looks like the start of a Judge Dredd conversion. Just needs a helmet and gun.

The Rogre doesn't look too bad.

The problem with the rat ogre is that someone has been trying to use NMM techniques for skin tone and it just looks weird. Skin does not normally have specular highlights like that…

Awww gak!
