What we've learned here is that artist at GW FETHING LOVE SKULLS. That is all.

And that loyalist need more severed heads.

(I was just painting some and commenting on this the other day)

Will that leave Aedred, Castigator and a Combat Patrol for week 2? Keen to know the contents of that, hope it isn’t the limited army box without codex and cards.

Is it just me or do those Paragon suits look a bit strange? As in I intuitively thought about where the actual SoB's knees might be. Now I sort of know the rationalization is that they are probably somewhere in the suit's "thigh" but the whole thing still looks visually "off" to me.

Try not to think about how the Sister's legs move without snapping in several places every time the suit takes a step forward.

This is 40k. I wouldn't put it past them to saw off the Sisters' legs at the knee, just so they have better articulation inside the suit.

Though I doubt the High Lord would be okay with losing her legs, even if its temporary

It probably will be the limited army box with an extra something thrown in.

When I think GW I think skulls. Small bit of unadorned armor on a miniature - put a skull on it.

Maybe it’s an Art Movement, like postmodernism or cubism, GW is actually a school of sculpture exploring cranialism?

I think the Czechs did it first.

Yes I'd assume the pilots knees are in the thigh, while there foot is near the suits knee joint.

So their ankles snap in twain everytime the warsuit does a step?

So no pseudo-Joan of Arc or Girls Und Panzer tank next week? Just the High Lady, Powerloaders and Halberdiers?

Maybe the following week for the missing two units?

I wish those themed dice had been part of that Army boxset from a few years back.

Having visited it, man it is a trip to see how much was used and what it was used to make.
Especially at that time in history.

Maybe. Though gw said in stream people gets their hands on new aos launch box in june which means that has to be next sunday announcement. So either they were　in error, they share preorder date or the 2nd wave is　later.

Didn't they only say the preorder will be in june, not the release?

I thought the floaty pulpit sister was the pseudo Joan of Arc?

I guess the flag hugger is too.

Well basically they're all Pseudo Joan of Arcs I guess.

Except not because none of them have been executed on trumped up charges to simultaneously appease an invading force and remove someone more popular than the local Governor even though she was ostensibly on his side…

Honestly they look fine. You are assuming for some reason that the pilot's legs are fully stretched out, but it makes much more sense for the knees to be partially bent in that kind of design.

Instead, what looks quite unconfortable is the suit's leg spacing.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
But honestly if we go in that level of design, I would first ask myself why exactly did someone strap a person's head between 2 high caliber high RoF guns.

If GW went with this for so many years...



...we can get along with these Parangon battlesuits, thank you.

People will get used to them fast enough, like everything before them in 40k.

But people have been commenting on the odd proportions of marines for decades...

And they're still odd now.

Get over it : they're SF heroic miniatures, not real people in real life.

Paragon Warsuits are cheaper than I was expecting. Given Penitent Engines are 2 for £35, I was expecting £50 for three Paragons.

Abbess is particularly lower given she’s a big old SC, and the single infantry sized Dogmata is £21

Do we know that it is £42 for three Paragons?

It isn't a plural on the list...

I could see £42 for two, which is still an increase on the price of the similar Penitent Engines because reasons.

The photo in the preorder article shows 3.

If its a fixed unit size of 3 I would hope they are not selling them in boxes of 2.
