There are no rumours of any non-vehicle models at all. All we have are inferences from sprue markings and layouts that more vehicles on the Rhino and Land Raider chassis are likely planned.

Shame, one of my favourites Marks of PA.

I'm a little surprised they're showing off yet more kits. I keep expecting them to wind down for a bit and let it settle, and then do periodic releases.
But now we've got the two dreads in addition to the rest of the heavy weapon packs and the sicaran.

At some point I fully expect them to do assault marines, assorted rhino-based tanks (the basic rhino is too cheap for them not to be going full steam ahead on expanded kits), and I really want plastic Mk 5s (in the same scale and fully compatible with all the things so far). Other equipment packs, too, for breachers, destroyers, etc

I will never understand why people like the contemptor design. And the deredeo looks even worse.

It looks like the gave Mr. Greedy guns. Who's next, Mr. Tickle? Absolutely stupid.

There's the commander in the spartan in mark II. Seems a bit odd to do that and not have plans to do a full mark II in plastic eventually.

The Boxnaughts look stupid, it's like they gave a coffin guns, what's next the Count from Sesame Street?

The contemptor looks imminently more effective as a weapon of war akin the the interred Astartes' natural advantages.

That is why I hoped that there might be already some rumours about MKII.

I mean, the other default one is an angry washing machine with no knees, so... at least the Contemptor looks like it can actually walk?

But angry washing machines have knees?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to three pages of unsophisticated people with bad taste telling us why chad Contemptors are best. With a bit of escalation and controversy thrown in at the end we might even draw it out to five pages. This is exactly what this thread needs.

Boxnoughts are cooler. The stumpy legs add to the aesthetic.

Not really, no, but I was exaggerating for comic effect.

I do like the old furibundus best, though.

I like both box and Contemptor dreads, providing the box has proper legs. Stupidest looking dread is the Leviathan.

GASP

<faints>

But seriously, though, I'm one of those that actually likes every dread. Even the Deredeo. I really haven't seen a dread I don't like.

Well, I take that back; I don't like Murderfang, but. . . I mean. . . it's a 40k space wolf thing, and nothing in their 40k line doesn't look stupid.

All dreads are awesome, we need box dreads in 30k.

Box Dreads are horrible and don't even look like they're even capable of penguin waddling towards the enemy.

Bipedal mecha are an asinine idea in the first place.

Probably why I love them so much

Redemptor and Deredeo look stupid, every other dread is awesome. That's fact.

With the launch of a fully plastic Contemptor and the upcoming plastic Leviathan, does anyone think we'll see the lovely legion specific ones disappearing from Forgeworld in the near future?

Why would they?

Heavily doubt it tbh
We might eventually have them turned into resin upgrade kits for the plastic guy, though

Nah even then it'd be way too much extra stuff to be just an upgrade kit if they were to retain even a similarity of the current design. They all have specially moulded chests, heads, leg plates, and shoulder plates. Heck, the Iron Hands one has its own special exhausts. The only shared pieces between all the Legion Contemptors are the upper legs and feet.

Stupid question but do we have an idea of when exactly the new releases will be up on the GW website ? It's past midnight so technically we are Saturday but I can't see them

Losing Castraferrum dreads is mildly upsetting

*ignore what I said about Mechanicum

**well gak I was half right, Iron Hands only get access to Castellax now instead of all Cybernetica battle-automata. Hopefully they fix that wording.

Exactly. So when they do penguin waddle its a thing of terror and majesty.

Preorders are 10am so I'd make that my guess.

Thank you very much !

There is no way to penguin-waddle terrifyingly or majestically. Unless you're a beached anchovy, I suppose.

I'm assembling a Spartan at the moment, it's quite enjoyable despite the sheer amount of parts that need to be glued together.

I've encountered a problem, however, when using the Forge World Word Bearers Land Raider door upgrades that I've had lying around for years. The side doors fit perfectly, but the front door does not. I've managed to trim off some of the resin and plastic so that it fits and doesn't look *too* bad.

Something to think about if you are planning on hunting down any of the old FW Land Raider door kits.

Heads up. Aparently Warhammer stores aren't carrying any of the HH product except the Books and the Box Set. I went to my closest store to try and find some weapon kits and rhinos and was told that they don't stock them. Irnoically there were about half a dozen people in the store asking for the same thing, and another four or five people were sitting at tables building the big box set models...Seems rather asinine given they have a full stock of AI planes. Which look cool, but I've not seen any of them ever sell, and the ones on his shelf today where the exact same boxes that were there in December...

I thought the Redemptor looked stupid until I saw it in person. It looks hefty and strong, which is something that's good.
