I'd Better Call Saul!

Spoiler:

Glad that it looks like they were sculpted with each other in mind. Saul doesn't appear to have a cloak or anything blowing in the opposite direction of Lucius

**BrookM**

Lucius looks good, almost makes me wish for a version where he had strapped the talon / claw arm of one of the MURDER monsters to his arm.

**Snrub**

Really nice sculpt. Lots of character, which is very fitting.

**Gert**

Hehe I love how he is ugly as sin.

**MeanGreenStompa**

He looks awesome, I love that sneering scar. They done him proud.

**Tannhauser42**

I like that he's wearing big leather gloves with which to smack you across the face to issue a challenge.

More Than Marines – Here’s How the Other Factions Fit into Warhammer: The Horus Heresy

Each of the major factions waging war in the Horus Heresy will feature in their own books. For the really esoteric things – including discontinued models – rules will be made available for free in the forthcoming Legacies of the Age of Darkness PDF. In any case, we want you to be able to join in all the fun with the new edition as soon as possible – no matter what you collect.

Looking at that raised leg, that'll be easy to remove that rock and lower that leg, taking a slice from the front and putting it round the back of the upper leg.

**Albertorius**

Well, that's good

**Gert**

So we have a reasonably priced box set that isn't a limited release, huge rules compendiums for the Astartes so nobody misses out on either side, and free rules for yet to be updated factions.
Any more doom left to scry because this is looking like GW's best launch so far.

**RazorEdge**

They said in the announcement Article on WarCom it's a "Launch Box", why do they now say on the stream it's a permantently box.

**Sacredroach**

Now they need to release a new corrupted Lucius...as that old one has not aged well at all.

Because someone with half a brain at GW has realised that dumping a box like that before people can actually get into the system is a dumb idea.

**Voss**

though... did they actually call it a 'launch box?'
Or were they just generally talking about the launch of the new edition?

Sometimes I think people get caught up in labeling box sets (and their 'intended audience') far more than GW does.

A broken clock is right twice a day?

Marine armies won't have rules at launch, which is a clear miss unless you like power armour.

That is indeed true. They do just call it the new boxed set.

That's been read by most people as "free get you by" rules for non-Marines. It of course might not be but one can dream.

**lord_blackfang**

This is gearing up to take over as one of the Big Three systems for sure. I've never seen them make such a genuine effort to make a game easy to get into.

Still no mention of IM&C. Sad day.

**Gert**

The HH event at WHW in July has just been changed to the new ruleset. Gak move by the events team there.

**ImAGeek**

Really quite like Lucius.

I'm hoping they're just low priority, as there isn't really any models for them.

That is gakky - hopefully they'll let people cancel without too much fuss (do they still sell tickets via a 3rd-party?)

**Gert**

Eventbrite is their seller of choice, though that in itself is a garbage vendor.

I wondered about that. I figured the boxed set wouldn't be June (before this weekend's announcement) because of that event. It didn't make sense to have an old event after the new launch.
It still doesn't, but it is gakky to change it on folks. Turns a last hurrah into something to be bitter about.

Where'd they announce it, by the way?

**Gert**

Spoiler:

Got it from a HH FB group after I saw Ben Greaves on twitter being rightfully angry about the change.

**ClockworkZion**

Reference sheets from the HH Open:

**Tannhauser42**

Yeah, that change to the event especially sucks for those who were going to bring armies like Mechanicum or Custodes that won't have new rules by that time.

**Nightlord1987**

Would have been cool to see Lucia's with the Mecharachnid arm sword, although I expect we might see a few conversions via Tyranid bitz.

**tauist**

"Legacies of the Age of Darkness" huh? I hope there will be rules for Indomitus TDA & Tarantulas in that one.. That'd actually redeem 30K for me, and I could merrily keep on playing my RT-era tribute 40K army in HH2.0

Take that back! The Lucius the eternal model is amazing. Even in finecast. I recently repainted mine and I think it stands the test of time, other than being a little small.

I also converted myself a heresy Lucius, but I will likely have to get this one aswell. It's a great looking model.
