Agreed - this is the first new Sororitas units that I am not as keen on.

I will get one of each as command vehicles but not as keen as I had hoped - more on the Immolator than the Exorcist. I guess they had to make enough changes to make you get new ones - need to see them in the flesh though

So hv Bolter in the hull and is that a quad flamer /multi-melta?

Being plastic, should be easy enough for you guys to tone it down with a knife and plasticard though, right?

Same. Too much with no real payoff.

Looks like a dual kit, as well.

I'll probably pick and choose the add ons - yeah.

I wonder if the HV bolter is instead of the Storm bolter?

Glad to see them and looking forward to seeing them appearing on the tables around the world

I wonder what people would think with a different paint scheme. The new azad rly all black makes it look blocker than it needs to. Paint everything above the main hull in stonework grey, or see what it looks like in that white scheme from the sister picture earlier.

The immolator does look upgunned compared to the old one. Sisters version of the flame storm cannons on the redeemer? And in place of the twin multimelta, maybe the melta cannons from the IG devil dog?

Coukld be right and as was suggested some elements will be optional - although I think its cost me more to have these painted than the base Immolators!

Dropping that huge stained glass window down by about half it's height may help.

That's a hell of a lot of plastic for a heavy flamer razorback.

Cherubs for the Cherub God! Flames for the Flame Throne!

Flanderisation to the max but bloody gorgeous modes.

So much for the Deimos Rhino some people were certain about.

I really like the Exorcist. It's the right kind of "Organ of Death" and really amps up the original design.

The Immolator has issues, the first of which being that the window at the front is far too tall. The other is that shrine on the back. It blocks the turret! Otherwise it looks fantastic.

To be fair, the side hatches/doors are round.

Them some pretty tanks!

Love the Exorcist, (glad I never actually assembled/painted my old one, will have to figure out how to add a hull-mounted Heavy Bolter to it). The Immolator looks really cool, but I do prefer the older design, (once again, I'll have to figure out ho to alter my current ones for the HMHB). If it is indeed a dual kit, I'll be buying one, building the Exorcist, and then making plans for the tasty Immolator bits. I wonder if the stained glass window is translucent or not? (can anyone tell?)

Sadly the Retributor is still notable by it's absence.

One has to have been raised in a Catholic country with giant gotic , romantic and baroque Cathedrals everywhere to really appreciate the beauty of the new Inmolator, sorry.

So the final Bulletin will show us the actual non-starter box kits, I presume?

And people here swore blind that they couldn't possible work with the existing Rhino kit, so it had to be a new Rhino.

Looking closer at it, I'm pretty sure it is a new kit. As in completely new and not just an add-on sprue. The sides have been completely redesigned and are clearly based on the Deimos. The front doesn't look like something glued on top of a standard Rhino. I'm looking at one of my Rhinos right now and I don't think there's a single sprue from the old Rhino kit used here.

I feel like they’ve gone too far with those tanks. It’s the first thing i’ve seen in the range I don’t like.

Maybe it is then. The Rhino is two sprues, right? So maybe it just uses the sides/tracks, but has a unique chassis.

The Rhino Hull is split across the two sprues, with the left and right sides on different spures. I can't see them including anything from it in this new kit.

Agreed. Maybe my ideas of 'armor' are too rooted in real world, or even existing 40k armor, but these are just..... stupid. I know 40k is supposed to be about over the top and rule of cool,but these are just.... stupid. Even the old metal pipe organ exorcist was better than this, never minding FW's frankly superior model.

Just.... no.

As someone who has always lobed the over the top idea of the Exorcist as it was, this just makes me even happier. Great kit, nice update all around and looks like a painter's sub-assembly nightmare.

Calling the Forgeworld Exorcist better is like calling Archaon a better version of Abaddon. They aren't just even the same idea. it was amazing how FW take one of the craziest models of 40k and made it one of the more boring ones.

It was fair speculation based on teasers, there’s no need for 20/20 hindsight snarky pops at others. And it literally is a Deimos Rhino chassis with bolted-on bling, so, ya know, it ain’t a Rhino but is also is.

You're right. Plus, on second look, I just don't think that the gold swirly patterns on the hull would be separate bits you stick on (they'd never line up properly and would end up looking a bit janky). Makes far more sense for them to be part of the moulded panels.

Yup. Exorcist is the correct amount of crazy, but I'm not even slightly sold on the Immolator, it just looks derpy.

Does the rose window on the Immolator have a Nurgle simple on it? I wonder if it is cast in clear plastic and painted with the contrast paints.

In a word: Perfection.

Forget all the infantry stuff. Woop de doo. These vehicles are what shall violate my wallet next year.

Woah, with such models (and with the added HMHB) I wonder if the rules for the immolator are going to stay close to what they are now. With sharing the same hull as the exorcist rather than the rhino I could see it become sturdier. And the top platform is so big that it makes me wonder if it will still keep some transport capacity rather than become more of a big tank. Though the step around the side hatch certainly make it sound like it will still work as a transport. The exorcist also has those but I guess it's just a result of being a dual kit!

What models are still unrevealed? Afaict, the various priests (if they get upgrades), the sister dialogus (gonna miss the current derpy geeky cutie one), painted/full versions of the retributor, maybe new dedicated models for the dominions?

Those tanks are glorious.

The window on the immolator is perhaps a bit big for my taste, but it certainly fits the aesthetic!


I really want to build the exorcist organ onto a titan. I know it's been done with the current kit, but this would be much more fun!

Also, did anyone notice in the video of the Immolator kit that that stained glass is actually a semi-transparent piece????

*conspiracy theory mind activates*

Of course it's a new Rhino! Why would GW want to make anything that uses a kit made for the mini-Marines? All this does is lend more credence to the idea that all our Mk.II to Mk.VIII friends will be turned into "Legends" sooner rather than later.

Will it fit atop a Knight?

I guess these will be 2 different kits? After the AdMech transport anything's possible, but the sheer amount of different plastic between these two vehicles makes me wonder.
