Is it just me or does the chaos leader look primaris sized?

He doesn’t look much taller than the other 2, and Chaos Lords fluffwise are meant to be big.

The bases also appear to be smooth, rather than having the usual GW “orange peel” texture; I wonder if they’re custom bases with the debris moulded on?

Unlikely, as the rubble on the right CSM model is ontop of the side of his foot, as well.

i saw this on facebook

If they make them bigger but keep the odd chibi-marines proportions... eeh... thats not a middle ground that I actually like very much. Maybe is only because the pose that I feel like they have odd porportions.

Honestly I strongly dislike the proportions of Primaris, they just look like humans in power armour instead of Astartes.

The deathwatch veterans and rubrics pretty much hit the nail on the head.

The rubble looks like a few bits of cut up sprue with some sand sprinkled around to mask super glue stains...

I was about to post this one. Crazy how far GW scale creep has progressed over the years!

Looks like some of the debris/skulls are attached to feet, others are separate. Can be seen more easily in the picture of the traitor guardsmen, since it has doubled models.

I agree with this. The squatty marine proportions are to me the iconic Space Marine proportions. Primaris just look odd to me. I think if you were to actually see a Primaris out of his armor he'd look lanky and weird.

Unboxing!

So far, everything looks intriguing - far more indepth at a glance than the AoS versions...which is not a bad thing.

Better than a classic marine out of armor. I think you'd find his limbs don't connect.

Unboxing!

I really want a good pic of the beastmen. Centered and in focus.


Hidden vault envelope: 40k and/or kill team rules?

I hope they make other random monsters like the Ambull here on the card.

Yup yup yup. Conviction to buy this at an all time high!

Hidden vault will probably be a second campaign.

Definitely getting a Horizon Zero Dawn vibe from this one.

So they got the whole Chaos side including options (other than the Lord) on 1 sprue



and heroes are on 3 sprues

Folks.

I see in the unboxing thst there’s a sealed envelope included, only to be opened once one has completed the game.

I trust we can all be good sports about this, and not issue spoilers about what is contained?

I for one am defo into keeping it as a reward thing. But even if you’re one to just dive on in (any why not!), can we please keep to spoiler tags about it?

Isnt that 1 sprue not only half the chaos part?

Yes--it's two of the same Chaos sprue.

It’ll be doubled up in the box

I'll be keeping mine until the end of the game, may as well keep in the spirit of the game!

On another note, they've really put a huge effort into this game and the fact it will be updated in the future probably makes this a great buy for anyone.

Yes 2 of that sprue but all sculpts on the one sprue

Pure speculation, but Chaos Lord on separate sprue ready for future individual release?

This could actually be great. Someone hold me!

I mean, after they've thrown so much crap at metaphorical walls, some good mechanics from BoP, BaC, ST, Overkill etc must've stuck, right? The game ia billed as super expansive and has a campaign mode and fixes missions and random stuff...and they're clearly setting up expansions that'll give us all the weird and forgotten things we've dreamed about. And unicorns!

Seriously, GW, I hope you have a winner here.

Thankfully the Christmas boxes are all duds for me, so this might actually make the cut, even though my "potential purchasses" list is growing at a frightening pace all the time with BB, Necro, new AoS armies, ORKS, terrain, KT...yikes.

PS: CSM still look like someone did horrible experimental surgery on their legs. Should've gone full on Primaris. DG at least kind of hide it with their fat bellies...sigh.

I'm torn between playing the campaign as quickly as possible to avoid spoilers or, more likely, just accept that those are going to happen and make the best of it afterwards.

We can all be good little boys and girls and keep our mouths shut, but you know, if it's a big deal you just know you'll get implicit spoilers from secondary material. Like, if all of a sudden there's an upsurge of pictures of naked, oiled up Squats on the Internet, would you not connect the dots?

Five books -

Interesting that these are slottabase miniatures, was the Gellerpox set like that?

Not really sure the interwebs needs an excuse for nudie, greasy stunties!

All I ask is direct spoilers make use of the tags.
