Fingers crossed. Been waiting for weeks for a Leman Russ and missed the Kasrkin.

Hoping the Comissar and rough riders wont be as popular...

Sure, if you have the needed skills, materials and time.

Don't make it sound easy when it's not, pal. Especially when you're talking about "doing better on your own". I can build a wall, sure, but no way can I "do it better" looking than this GW's product that easily.

Considering the price, you can literally make more wall with the following:

Styrofoam, plaster longuette, Sand if you want, bit of paint. in quantities for literally everyone to be able to produce vast quantities of general concrete / trench earthworks.

Even i can do it and i am not skilled

Feel free to show your work, then, so that we can see it's that better.

Price isn't the only variable to take into account. Time is definitely one. How it looks as well. I mean, sure, if it's just to build a functionnable wall that's more or less the same shape and size than the original and you have a lot of free time for yourself, you can technically make a lot from cheaper material. But I doubt it will have the same level of details than the plastic kit, in that case. It definitely wouldn't look "better" in my opinion...at least if you don't invest a lot of efforts and more time into it.

Apart from the Black Templars, are there any other larger upgrade sprues like the Astra Militarum one? Bit miffed that there is not a unique transfer sheet like the Templar one, though I guess there are more bits.

They don't need a unique transfer sheet in there, as the Cadian infantry sets come with one.

Same with the Death Korps set.

There's not a good, easy to find image of the DKoK transfers though. It has warnings for minefields!

Amazingly DakkaDakka has people's galleries stored for them if they want. He actually has his saved here with pictures in progress of construction of multiple items, including a very nice bunker .

Before calling people out, go ahead and check them out.

I'm really glad we're getting plastic Rough Riders, but I'll confess to being a tiny bit disappointed that we didn't end up with Mogul Kamir making a Nork Deddog-style appearance within the kit.

I wonder if the bionic arm with the sword is meant to be a callback to him?

And I do mean only a tiny bit, as those sprues do seem pretty full already.

It's also not a "large upgrade sprue".

It's some heads, knives, and a few icons. The new Cadian one has some full bodies on it.

Ravenwing accessory sprue is still in use. It’s basically a DA upgrade sprue for a bunch of old kits.

Overall pricing seems to be as expected. Bit of a shame the CP is at the new price, thought that there might be a couple of weeks at the current price for those who were quick. But it does mean it looks good for the rest of the range having he price rise baked in. However £21 for that upgrade sprue is ridiculous, it's a nice set but too much for parts which provide only aesthetics.

The original Rough Riders were released in the first ever Codex: Imperial Guard – way back in the second edition of Warhammer 40,000, when they came on oblong bases.






These are NOT the original Rough Riders.

Cheers Kan, aye I already have both those sheets and the new AM Vehicle sheet. It is just that the Templar infantry came with a different sheet to the one with the upgrade sprue, but that is just me being greedy .

Too nice. I'll re-pick up the terrain building after removing my pile of shame.

And yeah i suggested it because i did it and can easily see ways to create far more substantial terrain for far cheaper. Without even taking into account that 3d printers and 3d Printing services exist which a quick search atleast locally gave me cheaper results for as nice a wall as i am able to design or download the file for it.

Anyways, the rough riders look really nice. I'd have prefered for an option to have a shooting one or two but yeah.

I don't know.

Even though a I had a box at the time, the models didn't really do that much for me. I preferred the ones modded to Tallarns that came out after the Big Toof River display.

For gaming, I remained with my original Rogue Trader era Rough Riders as I jumped into 40K at the dawn of 2nd Ed.

Frankly, I’ve always been of the opinion that Rough Riders look best when they fit the Regiment of the main army.

The thing about 40k is that no one person can grasp the fullness of it.
