Does it though? I mean they even highlighted the Noise Marine, singular, going on tour, and the "old skool" all-green base.

This doesn't seem like a new unit to me. This is the Chaos equivalent of the Imperial Space Marine.

And that's a real shame...

No kidding.

I mean, it wouldn't exactly surprise me. Or if they bring out new noise marines "soon" after, like 18 months.

Nothing there suggests they only use a formula(e) for points.

But the moment you use formula at all means your points are screwed. Formulas don't work. Proven so often these days even beginner developers know they are worthless and indeed do harm with no good

Well, the alternative is points being plucked from the air on no basis but the author's opinion/bias. Using a formula provides a consistent baseline for ALL models. They can then playtest and vary the points from there.

Or you know through playtesting and looking value of model. Obviously there's other options than bad.

Formula always creates wrong results. Fact. You only use it if you don't care about balance and don't want to do actual games development

They’re a starting point, though. Any points system will have some sort of rules underlying it all. Even if you don’t write anything explicitly, you’ll still use some sort of formula unconsciously when you first assign a number for playtesting.

I hope that, when the time comes, Duncan does the painting video on the Noise Marine still wearing that wig.

so with gw blatantly re introducing a classic noise marine .... maybe a year interval for EC?

Warhammer TV just confirmed on FB: This is a one-off.

Needs more Bolt Thrower. gak hard imagine they gave away a cd with WD back in the day.

I still believe this means that new EC and noise marines are on the horizon. Not the immediate future perhaps but anything other than that would be confirmed as a one-off. Maybe it's a year out, who knows?

At the same time, they have to release some new models between GSC and SoB. It can't all be primaris lieutenants, right?

Clearly influenced by Spinal Tap. Not a bad thing.

That is hard to imagine. My bolt thrower albums were cassette tapes.

Marneus Calgar is the original and perhaps most iconic Space Marine character, having been with us in one form or another since the very first edition – so it’s only fitting that this venerable hero is the first to be reborn as a Primaris Space Marine. This incredible new model combines the modern aesthetic of the Primaris Marines with the classic elements of the venerable character.

The official announcement above sure makes is sound like Calgar won't be the last characters to be Primarised. Pretty much any of the current resin characters are fair game. I can't imagine they'd redo Logan Grimnar though since he's already plastic and has Stormrider.

Mention not the cassette, it is a secret knowledge passed down. To be frank I would be amazed now adays if many people knew what a cd was let alone cassette, 8-track or Betamax.

Edit; had a look and it was actually a flexidisc, WD 95. How time flies.

I can't imagine that Gabriel Seth would be at all for undergoing the process. So they will probably just kill him and replace him with a brand new Flesh Tearer Chapter Master.

Good. The current versions are starting to look really dated alongside modern armies. Looking forward to Primaris Azreal, Dante, etc.

Logan, probably not, but Ragnar's among the oldest GW models still out there, if I am not mistaken.

Oo.. An even fatter Grimnar Claus, with more engines on his sleigh and extra wolves to pull it. The Santa Wolves version of an Exalted Seeker Chariot.

It’s a one off for now. There’s no chance there’s not an Emperors Children codex coming a-la Death Guard and Thousand Sons.

There was one issue of White Dwarf which had a Bolt Thrower Flexi disc. I think I threw mine away without playing it

Edit. I should have googled it first. That was Sabbat apparently.

Has this been shown already?

Someone posted it up on Twitter from the event.

All Migthy Slaanesh, I need this Noise Marine!

I Still have the White Dwarf from the original release
(with a World Eater on the cover, which is some kind of a paradox...)
and 6 of the original metal figures...

Time goes by...

Bikers are cool but not what i wanted the most for gsc.

Magnus calar is atrocious but i like the honour guard

Lord raptor and karanak are alright

The slaneesh harpist is a stunner, by far the best of ths release

This could be the source of some of the rumour engine pics that people thought might be a new Primaris vehicle.

Is that an Ork trike? Is that a conversion?

I think so.

The front is exactly the same parts as the warbike kit so I assume so.

New wartrakk?

 H.B.M.C. wrote:

I will go for a conversion, most of the parts (except from the track unit) looks like plain
biker parts.

I may be wrong but the trakk itself disapear in
last codex with the classic buggies?

I hadn't seen it from that angle at least, that's amazing! Loving the mars rover/astronaut vibe
