Oof, the paint job on that kasrkin is jarring. It's actually painful to look at for me.
Model itself looks cool.

I was going to say that wearing that helmet is not a flattering look but you know, I like what you said better.

I like Ursula's model, but I wish she wasn't a Creed.

What's next? Asdrubael Vect getting replaced by his distant nephew Larry Vect?

At least let me pretend it's not Marvel level worldbuilding.

I like Creed Jr but I hate that helmeted variant.

40k's been a glorified superhero setting since 8th.

If you say "edge highlighting" five times in the mirror a Eavy Metal painter appears and uses your blood to paint every raised bump on your body.

looks like a adrian helmet to me, similar to the DKoK helmets, but more french/cadian in its aesthetics, less german stahlhelm in shape.

I can't recall if she's the first Guard special character with enough sense to wear a helmet to battle.

I don't mind the tropes. I do mind the laziness.

Macharius did it before it was cool.

Typical of current 'Eavy Metal style : loads of contrasty lining on every delimitation, then apply a second line of even more contrasty lining on some places to boost the image. If you have an image editor like photoshop or Gimp, you can achieve the same effect. take a photo, apply sharpen mask, with cursors maxed out. This should give the same effect. Beuuurk !

Man, I laughed so hard !

So with the Sentinel now having symmetrical hardpoints, my money is on a variant with paired weapons, because GW cannot resist sticking more and more guns on everything.

Possible, but looks more like an auxiliary system hardpoint. Looks like an option for either a spotlight (something other than nightfighting rules?) or smoke grenade launcher. I see a single smoke grenade launcher on the top, so maybe all sentinels can still pop smoke once a game, but the 3-cell upgrade gives you multiples?



The Adrian helmet ridge on Lady Creed is confusing me.

I would appreciate it if they didn’t go to far extreme of making her a fat old lady with a bicycle helmet.

Brian Nelson described Creed as being "Bulldog-like" in both appearance and stance when sculpting him (I'd even say you can see a bit of Churchill in his face as well). If you want to sell that this person is the fruit of his loins she kinda has to have a bit of the family resemblance. Note, I do not mean that description as an insult- From that description GW gave, she is a bulwark of a woman like her father also with a meaningful name, "Ursula" is derived from the Latin for Bear, hammering home the strength motif further.

I think this one goes even beyond the usual 'Eavy Edge Highlight Metal style. Goodness me.

The new sentinel looks gorgeous (and big and girthy too, comparing it to the old sentinel I think this might be mounted on a 90mm dreadnought base)

The Stormtrooper image they used has striations on the lasgun, makes me think this is a 3D printed model they painted for promo usage before the sprues were finalized, which may explain the different paint job on the bases.

Everybody in Germany be like: "Aww, Ursula? That’s my grandma's name!"

Creed was big and fat and chunky
Mrs Creed Jr. is big and fat and chunky
I see no issue here

Well, the easiest solution to not being able to make decent female minis is just to make an old grizzled one that looks like a man.

The new sentinel looks great. The higher quality image did wonders.

But all I can think about is how easy the kasarkin backpack antennae will snap off

With the helmet on, she definitely looks like she's Schultz from Hogan's Heroes.

It being so goofy is why it's so good.

That's a first from you! Get it?!

But seriously, I'd rather have Gina Carano.

I'm confused by the helmet as a whole. Without the helmet she looks suspiciously like Boris Yeltsin. With the helmet on all that healthy red around the nose is gone. I'm not saying there shouldn't be magic items in sci-fi settings, but a Helm of Sobering? Really?

Ursula Creed looks like an old British nanny. It's like Mrs. Doubtfire just entered the 41st millennium.

Naming her "bear" fits her radiating "mama bear" energy.

Really? I can't get over the fact that he's so scared he...uh... left evidence.
Whatever they were going for with that basing decision, it did NOT photograph well.

Curious about the weapon options on the Sentinel, as they're obviously the push for sales of the new kit. But is it just a missile launcher (and smaller grenade launcher) or Something Uniquely Named Variant of +/- 1 to Strength or AP? Why would you opt for a searchlight rather than more gun? Is that going to have special rules?

About the at the Sentinel, it looks sleeker, as was descibed by our fellow youtubers. It seems also more beefy, stronger, not only due to the added armour plates here and there. Out of curiosity, I have measured the base proportions (diameter / oblique height) from the picture on my screen, and compared it to those of a current 6 cm base (64mm real diameter, 4mm oblique height). It does not match, the new sentinel base seems bigger : I calculated about 80mm diameter. So maybe they decided to change the sentinel base to 80 as for primaris dreadnoughts !

So if the Kasrkin are scaled like adults instead of children, are we getting a new basic Cadian kit also? Because the old Cadians are gonna look like crap next to those Kasrkin.

Also does this mean we aren't getting a proper DKoK plastic release, or are we thinking we'll be getting both DKoK and Cadians in the future?

Hmm. That would make some sense, as I was mentally comparing it to the current sentinel and thinking how tiny that left side hatch is.

Oh man hose kasrkin are gonna make epic inquisition stormtroopers when I get my hands on them

I was thinking Miss Trunchball.

Love the Kasrkin and the Sentinel has grown on me a lot.
