I've been watching HH for a long time. I've got a Dark Angels army with the Calth and Prospero Boxes. I'm going to buy the new box because I want everything in it but I've been toying with the idea of playing Word Bearers. What are everyone's thoughts on using the new possessed models to represent the Gal Vorbak? I know the face plates are the biggest differences but I'm toying with whether these would be compatible with the HH system.

Yeah you’d be fine I think. Similar size, nothing jumps out on them that wouldn’t be in 30k (and explained by mutations anyway). I prefer the Gal Vorbak personally, but these are pretty good. (Probably want to change the dead Primaris under the one guys foot though).

He's a glorious lad. And he has fully TWO tactical rocks!

That's one seriously blinged out heretic. Just needs the swap from silver trim to brass.

Bruh more Dark Angels.

Ouch, good first impression but it just looks worse and worse the more I look. Like, all terminators take some suspension of disbelief about how they fit in that big armor but the way he's leaning I can't figure out where the hell his shoulders could be, like when you turn your head your chin comes right near your shoulder... except his is like a foot away, and there's something about the angle of his torso that makes it worse.

(Is there a reason he has the ridiculous sword shape?)

feth yes. Awesome model. Those two tactical rocks are a blessing though as it makes it soooo much easier to cut them off and place him on the ground normally. I hope twin-tactical rocks becomes the new norm.

I wasn’t expecting more heresy Thursdays, and especially not this week. Cool model though.

It feels familiar - I think it's some kind of historic sword catcher/breaker, but I can't find it in Google right now.

Yes please. All the Legio Cybernetica should get plastic models for the current era AdMech.

Thanatar and the Macrocarid Exploratory in plastic ought to be priorities.

And lose the essential high ground?

To filter people who should be playing Napoleonics.

A sacrifice I willingly make.

The sword is made of metal from all the worlds he has burned.

Yeah, there's a good reason for the shape. Totally over the top and very warhammer-esque reason.



You can read a bit more about it here

Ya know what? I like the new guy a decent amount. I've never been big on blingy but I think he does it well

For me, 30k models/vibe tend to be a bit meh, but man all the Dark Angels 30k models are killer.

Bunch of new leaks, including the new tank, and plastic Rhino. The weapon upgrades seem to confirm that the new Bolters are one piece with both hands modelled on.



I have spoilered these for size - but also because I know some people will fall into a spiral of impossible despair at not seeing these with the accompanying BUY ME, NOW text and charisma-less presenters telling you to buy them.

The Kratos?

Looks expensive.

[EDIT]: Should I have put the name of the tank in spoilers? Wouldn't want to ruin someone's day. BTW, Snape kills Dumbldore.

So the Kratos is a fat Sicaran!

Yep.

More pics,

PLEASE, DO NOT OPEN IF YOU NEED TO ONLY SEE THIS AT A GW SPONSORED EVENT!

Oooh! Plastic Sicaran. Sweet.

Kratos looks bloody excellent! I hope it will get 40K rules too.

Wasn't there a rumour that 30k & 40k kits will be 'locked' to those games only (which is why the plastic box Castraferrum dreadnoughts & Indomitus terminators have been dropped from 30k)?

Kratos looks like the Sicaran and Fellblade had a baby. It feels a lot busier than the Sicaran though, which I guess is how you can tell it's the newer kit (gotta fill it with DETAIL).

The Kratos is amazing

Love the Kratos, always liked the Sicaran, and also love those missile launchers!

Yeah, glad to see an accessory pack. I wouldn't be surprised if the sponson mounts and accesory pack are on their own sprue - the sponsons are universal across all legion vehicles
