Right?
Wasn't it mentioned that a part of the story was the the Necrons were rising to put down the Tyranid threat, that it was encroaching on their tomb worlds? I would think, if that was a driving force, then we'd definitely see some new bugs some time. There was also some art in Blood of Baal that showed a flying Tyranid that doesn't look like anything we have now, so hopefully we'll see something new.

I will do tomorrow, trying not to influence her, it's going to be interesting .
I can explain why I feel the marine vehicle looks imo close to the kart: it's the whole "The crew are very exposed" aspect.

Ah, the Terror gang vs. the Anti-Terror team, the SPECIAL Anti-Terror Team, the Deap Sea Anti-Terror Team and the Space Anti-Terror Team. Sucks to be the Terror gang.

I'm sorry but I just don't see the similarity to Mario Kart. and those who think there is a similarity are just looking to bash and make absurd comparisons
go find your mother and show her
this picture
go ask if it looks more like
or
go on ask someone whose not a 40k player
I did, and she wanted an option C. I showed her the old Ork Buggy and got a Yes.
Which was the first thing I thought of when I saw the PrimoKart

EnTyme wrote: Okay, so you mean his positioning. That's pretty standard positioning for an ATV/four-wheeler. In either case, I think the Primaris need to fire Cobra Commander from the vehicle design team.
No, on an ATV, the driver is orientated forward and down; the seat is like a motorcycle seat, and you lean forward over it and grip the handle bars, like you would on a motorcycle, though the angle of orientation is not as large as a motorcycle. This guy is instead sitting way back in the seat, almost leaning backwards, which, combined with how low to the ground it is, is why it looks like a go-cart.
I personally think it's hilariously funny. Primaris clearly take themselves way too seriously, and I love the idea of the normal marines making fun of them as they ride around in their go-carts acting like they're the Emperor's gift to the world.

The design of the Invader ATV is something that feels like it could be fixed/improved so easily - simply place the wheels on angled struts/suspension. Like others have said It pretty much is an armoured W40K Go-Kart, it follows the same sort of design - chassis and wheels that are both extremely low to the ground, with the wheels either side of the chasis so they're at the same height, and a forward sitting driver within it rather than ontop. All they had to do was have the normal state of it be with at least he back wheels lower than the rest, to raise it up, based on the video they might be able to do that as there doesn't seem to be anything locking them in place

Well sure if you lack the will to clip off a peg the heads can't be posed. As for pose overall, is this a criticism you have also raised against... every previous edition starter? I doubt it. If it really is that big a problem wait and buy the inevitable multi-part plastic release.

I've found GW's mouldline remover works quite well in widening the holes. Simply stick it in and rotate a few times until the hole is the right size.
Does no one know how to use a file anymore?

I used a file for twenty-something years (or more). I just like the mouldline remover a bit better (I just wish the handle was more comfortable).

You made my day sir, I award you one internets.
I think the problem with the ATV is it looks like a cut-away showing the inside of the driver's compartment of a vehicle that's supposed to have front quarter-panels and a front grille/bumper.
Considering it's not the same product out of stock in all of the regions, it's just a side effect of the pandemic most likely.

Any time anything like this is revealed a bunch of excitable people go out and buy a bunch of stuff they may or may not actually want. Everything will be back in stock within a week or two, don't worry. GW has absolutely no interest in not being able to sell you stuff.

And people may be stocking up on models in prep for the new Cron releases, either to get them built/painted/ready or to avoid future price hikes.
Product which GW may not be able to easily restock at this time due to the side effects of the pandemic.

Why? If the prize is the new box, it'll just be the new box. Why would they open it, go digging in to remove things, and then reseal it?
yukishiro1 wrote: Push fit is terrible, I really hope this isn't an indication they're going more in that direction for new model releases for 40k.
It's not really indicative of anything. Both Soul Wars and Dark Imperium saw a bunch of push-fit minis that came out around the time their main boxes were released, and that was it. This is the same.

Who said the prize was the new box exactly?
Plus the Indomitus box isn't the edition starter, it's a limited run box aimed at existing players. Reusing the sprues for the starter would be about right for GW and would let them get a higher ROI while selling it as a smaller box than the Indomitus box.
And it wouldn't be removing anything, it'd just be using the existing molds while not including duplicate frames or the special characters.
