Sure, but can you find such a compromise in quality in normal kits?

Indeed. Reikenor is an easy to build. But was in fact a complete sod to build.

The Blighthaulers too were not the easiest kits to build, despite being "Easy Build Only".
The quality was great though.

That to me suggests this is a genuine leak. that said, I think if I was in marketing I'd proably come out, admit it's genuine, and say "but we can't say anything more just yet, stay tuned everyone"

I agree re the genuine leak given that information. Impossible to say for sure of course but looks more likely. I'm hoping marketing have had an emergency meeting and are preparing their news on this. They'll do well to ignore it until WH Fest.

Yeah as I said, simply confirm it's a thing, be all "Well guess our suprise has been sprung early. stay turned for more at WHfest" using it to hype their con could even be benifical to GW.

the custodes jetbike kit has oval biker bases and clear stems. they also come with clear bases seems GW is giving you the choice to match the basing to the rest of the army base or use the clear bottoms if you prefer, not saying they will go the same for the ork kits if they come, but a warboss can hope.

Is it really a compromise? I mean, looking at every other wheeled vehicle model I've built from GW, there's been no choice in how to position the wheels, so doing it this way makes the whole assembly more sturdy. There's a slight cost in ease of painting, I suppose.

Wheels being molded into the hull is a huge compromise placing the model squarely into clip together toy category, not scale models. I hope it's at least covered by mud guards.

I kinda liked that as attaching the stands to the oval bases swiftly seemed an exercise in futility for me

plastic glue worked well enough for me. and I went ahead and added a small lump of green stuff around the base as well molded to look like a rock and incorperated it to blend into the rest of my rocky ice based basing theme. (pretty simple.. gloss blue paint first then small shards of slate pva glued on top, add a thin layer of crackle paste with extra white pigment and boom cracked ice... little drybrush of light grey and golden)

I can find my Facebook post mentioning Speedfreekz, maybe they can’t get them all. The bases are odd, I wonder if that implies there will be smaller vehicles?
And a sample chapter of The Beast Arises. Is this the book that introduces the idea of prime Orks? I wonder if this is a way to get out the fluff behind this new types of orks before dropping a new Prime Kit.

I have an idea, let's give people what they want!

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"
"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"
"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"
"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!" |

Since the box is in Japanese, I suspect we're not even gonna see news of this game unless we live there. We could also see the sprues at a later date.
..Or am I the only one who knows about the reason behind Space Marine Heroes?

I suspect it's similar to heroes which is collective system that japanese are nuts about. Miniature games meanwhile are much smaller thing there in my experience

From the comments on War of Sigmar:
75hastings69 • 2 hours ago
Soooooo, eventually it surfaces, I’ve heard about this in one form or another for the best part of 2 years, I was getting worried when it was taking so long and “gretchinz” turned up.....
So what have I heard about this...
1/ it’s a self contained game, kind of a cross between dark future and gorkamorka but with a new twist.
2/ there will be a campaign type system for upgrading buggies and drivers etc. I don’t know if these are in the box or through a supplement/white dwarf.
3/ the buggies, the classic (ancient) buggy has had a total revamp and is unrecognisable now, however.... the buggies in this box set might not be the actual buggies that form the main release for 40k, they might be kind of like an “easy to build” type version. I heard the new buggy kit is THE most kustomisable kit that GW has ever done, with talk of wheels and tracks and bits to make scorchas etc as well as brand new variants.
4/ warbikes, trukks and even helicopters might be usable in the game, though not straight out of the box.
5/ at one time there was talk of extending the game with different tracks, legendary vehicles and drivers but I think this may have been canned.
I am super excited for this, and will pick up more than one box for sure
