Oooh, Guilleman with helmet looks ace. Also quite like that the heavy bolter strapped to his arm has a proper ammo feed and drum.

Hmm. Yeah, pass I think.

Can't wait for the necron c'tan model rumoured awhile back. I hope that turns out to be true.

Edit
If they kill off Abbaddon then Vect stands no chance.

Wrist Mounted Infernus Heavy Bolter?

Man.. absolutely stunning with helmet in the 360, the other models are great too.

I need that Cypher model.
I guess I was wrong about the GK character too.

Oooooh, wonder how much that helmet will go for on eBay, if it can fit on the FW Primarchs' bodies too...

Looks like there's a flamer mounted to the side of it, noice!

Now I know where I've seen him...

He looks neat. A bit plain for a primarch (I mean he literally looks like a giant space marine, which he is) but still nice. This whole stuff though is just... I feel it's too much, too fast. They are just churning out things now at a ridiculous pace. People can barely start one thing before some new cool thing comes out to divert attention. It's gotten a bit crazy. At this point I am thinking it's best to hold off on any 40k purchases until I see what 8th edition is actually like, because they come out with one triumvirate, then show an eldar one, then this one, it's insane. You can't keep up with it.

I posted my thoughts on the primarch on the other page. I like the models. Especially his helmet option as I already said. As a non marine fan the release does nothing for me so I look ahead to see if anything will catch my eye. So far just the death world forest terrain is on my list. Even then it's not a must have just there if nothing interesting is released.

Daaaamn son, Cypher's sword is huge, does not look like it's supposed to be held by a normal marine.....

Ok yeah, really liking Blue Man with the 360 spin.

It's the Lions sword, so it makes sense that it's massive.

With that giant flaming sword Robot Girlyman looks like a world of warcraft character. That's a compliment btw because he looks amazing!!!! idk why but that base he's on is really great as well.

I'm quite interested in what Roboute is going to do with the imperium since everyone kind of....threw his book in the toilet and started worshiping the emperor anyways. I don't think he'll be too happy about that.

Cypher looks awesome, helmeted Smurf looks much better.

The GK almost looks out of place compared to those 2.

I think I am calling him Captain Smallhead.
Not really impressed by any of those models. And not sold on the fluff.

Wow what a surprise this morning! Very excited. Slightly worried about the suggestion that the Gathering Storm will end with Abbadon killed on Terra - that's not very 1-minute-to-midnight.

Why on Earth have people asked for change and plot advancement ? Now we have this... monstruosity.
At least, the other two guys are nice (especially Cypher).

I was referring to you doing this type of crap:

There was more prior flip flopping but I didn't feel like digging that up

This tangent takes us nowhere.

No further posts on this please.

Thank you.

Yeah well that story bit released of Abbaddon dying nails the head in the coffin for every major villain with no model. So I was likely wrong. 40k feels like it's got a chance of becoming 30k v 2 and I find that super boring.

Written before you posted sorry.

Gulliman with helmet is just awesome. Cypher is a must have as well. The only one not really gettin me is the GK character, so he may just end up on eBay.

Also, did anyone notice the end of the preview video, where they said "and for Terra", without showing us anything? Who knows what awesomeness is awaiting

For Terra might be a lead up for the next series of books.

I really like Cypher's dynamic pose. Reaching for the bolt gun like the gun slinger he is.

I am meh about the Grand Master. It's a nice scuplt, and probably a must have for a GK player, but it just does not have the same presence of the other two kind of how I felt about Greyfax vs. Celestine and Cawl, except Greyfax is more original while the Grand Master is too derivative.

This maybe heresy but I like the 40K Robute more than the FW version. His pose is what the FW one should have been. The detailing on the armour is what I would expect of a primarch. I also like the sword. Then there are the little touches like the XIII on his belt.

For me, this is on my buy list if for no other reason than Cypher and the big guy.

I feel a bit said for those of you who feel underwhelmed or disappointed by the models and direction of the storyline. I guess there truly is no joy in Mudville.

Hopefully genocide of the Tau happens before we get there.

One can hope eh.

Roboute wakes up and finds out Calgar let the Tau live, has a serious desicssion with him before destroying the Tau Empire.

I figure it will be Gathering Storm -> Something Else -> Terra.

Wondering how the Warzone Fenris stuff will factor in. I can't help but wonder, because of the 1K Sons fighting Guilliman.
