For those just looking here, one of these should read "Tartaros" - and both are 10 man boxes.

D'oh! Thanks for the catch...

Anyone find like a 3d printed bit so all the weapons on the contemptor for the old ones?

Ar there any "bare" cockpits for the new dreadnoughts? Like ones without ornamentation or Eyes of Horus or things like that? I swear I've seen some models that don't have any bling, but I don't see the option on the sprues

Yes - it's on the main body sprue:

Think I’ll do one Leviathan shooty sprue and two Contemptors. I do like my Dreads.

That is quite a lot for HH, although I would have preferred the missing heavy weapons over some of the other stuff.
And of course I just ordered some more stuff, sigh.
Guess I'll see if I can afford one of each Dread and the Tartaros this month.

So, I can buy stuff I already own... Fantastic.

Congratulations you've figured out what GW is doing with HH.

Have we seen the plastic Contemptor Chainfist assembled yet? Looking at the sprue the blade looks bigger than the FW one was.

I don’t think so, no.

So it would seem.

Seems like we need new "reveal Stuff" for the upcoming Heresy Thursdays except Shoulder Pads and ugly helmets.

if you already own a HH army you're not the target for this stuff.

I wonder if GW is moving to a hybrid option of releases. Kits like Predators have 3/4 (ish) of the plastic weapon options in them. If you want the other turrets (melta, flamer, etc) you'll buy a FW turret kit.

GW does most of the plastic options with FW moving to smaller variant kits instead of complete tanks.


Still no news on assault marines...

While Mechanicum will be interesting, good luck getting a cheaper army for those guys.

Need to see the sprues for the Termi kits.

I hope they come with more than a pair of the heavy weapons shown.

Unless that's going to be a separate box, lol

Shouldn't, as its just a rebox of the two units from the HH boxsets (Calth and Prospero)
One of the more annoying problems is the base units in the HH army list both start with power weapons and can buy fists, lightning claws or chainfists, but there is, IIRC, only a single powersword for the sergeant (two in these reboxes)
Its a particularly big deal for Deathwing focused DA armies, since their special bonus is only for swords.

Yeah, it's very odd. One power sword. 4 Powerfists and 5 chainfists for the Cataphractii, weirdly. 5 pairs of lightning claws. Tartaros have a vulkite-whatever, plasma blast gun, heavy flamer and a reaper. Cataphractii just have the heavy flamer. And Storm Bolters for everyone.

So no Thunder hammers, no combi-anything, not enough power weapons, not enough powerfists to outfit the Cataphractii, and missing 2/3 of the heavy weapons for the Cataphractii. They also have no bits for Vexilla, Vox, or Augury Scanners.

All in all, it's very weird.

Yea, I'm sure we will see 2 $50 add-on boxes for the options.

Dreads, glorious Dreads!

I take it that the Levi comes with one of each gun, and that's it. You'd have to get a second frame (or a second Levi!) to get double the same gun, and the other one/sprue for any close combat options.

I do hope the Contemptor Chainfist looks a little less pathetic than the FW one, although it probably is just the same in plastic.

Yep. Explicitly:

Curious what the pricing will be. It'd be really weird if 2x Ranged Levi + CC frame is pricier than 1 each + ranged frame.

I'd assume the leviathan ranged will be the same price as the melee one. AT works that way. No idea on the contemptor since it is explicitly an added sprue to the starter box one.

I doubt we will see any more news until the next Preview event, which should be sometime this month given historical preview events.

I suspect we’ll see a second Predator kit, like the Leviathan.

Me, I’m kinda tempted by an all Volkite squadron…because CHOOM.

Repackaged 40K Armigers...hmmm.

In HH v1, Armigers could mix and match weapons. So you could have an autocannon with the chainglaive or dual melta cannons. Wonder if they’ll keep that rule

L/ASTARTES: TERMINATOR TARTAROS SQUAD 67,50
L/ASTARTES: PRAETOR WITH POWER AXE 24,00
L/ASTARTES: PRAETOR WITH POWER SWORD 24,00
LEGIONES ASTARTES:CONTEMPTOR DREADNOUGHT 47,50
L/A: CATAPHRACTII TERMINATOR SQUAD 67,50
LEGIONES ASTARTES: SICARAN BATTLE TANK 62,50
LEVIATHAN DREADNOUGHT + RANGED WEAPONS 62,50
LIBER MECHANICUM: FORCES/OMNISSIAH (ENG) 40,00
LEGIONES ASTARTES: SPARTAN ASSAULT TANK 0 1 87,50

Euro prices.

Thanks for the list.

I don't like the price of the Spartan. Obvious reasons aside, it doesn't help me get off the fence. It's expensive enough that it probably makes me feel bad about buying it, but not loony enough to instantly make spending over a hundred Euros extra on the starter box a no-brainer choice.

It's a really pretty model...

I'll take a Sicaran for 46,90€ thx (the -25% RRP)

Also love that the Mechanicum epub comes out at the same time with the physical one.

What a sweet Heresy drop we got this week eh!

I may grab a set of hh armigers since it comes with a new decal sheet, and the knight decal sheets we already have are rather good.

Sicaran feels like a good price, and the termies of course.

Spartan price we all knew would look dumb compared to the massively discounted starter box.

So £47.50 for the Sicaran, given it’s the same price as the Leviathan. So Contemptor around……£30ish?

Wait, Valrak has it at £36.

Not too bad. Was hoping a wee bit lower.

20% off at Element would make it….£29 or so, which is pretty palatable.

Surprisingly the Praetors are £19. I mean, that’s still a lot for a character model, but if memory serves compares favourably with 40K?

Maybe I’ll stretch to a pair of Contemptors and a Shooty Leviathan.
