Now I want a Debigulator. Just to experiment with.

I want the opposite so I can finally satisfy the wife...

So those use the plastic MKIII/IV as a base??? That's dope! Oh wait they don't, it's almost like I was referencing plastic kits, cuz they're not legion specific and should make the plastic conversion.


Now if only the mkiii/iv kits were available....still waiting

We talk about plastic Mk6 Miniatures, fitting to the new Mk6 Marines?

Those aren't Firstborn marines, those are some sort of midget abhuman.

And those are combat squads, not full sized units.

They do exist.

Many of our favourite oldschool models were initially sculpted in 3-up scale, and then "debigified" using a pantograph.
I remember at least one article in a white dwarf where they showed it being done.



Of course as mentioned, there's a lot of other things to consider as well when swiching scale and materials, like undercuts etc.

Squat and stupidly expensive. £44 for 5 despoilers! That’s more than I just paid for 20 mark vi tacticals.

Yea $136 freedom dollars plus tax for a 10 man infantry squad isn't a super enticing proposition. I just booked a flight to Bogota for that price...

Fun fact, last I heard, Renedra still make use of the Pantograph for some projects

Whatever happened to the release dates for the other two weapon packs that were revealed way back?

I didnt even know those where revealed.

Lost, like tears in the rain.

Maybe they're on Cyraxus

*they burned up in the Fires of Cyraxus

Yeah, I want some autocannons and lascannons in my army, but as of yet, it's only missile launchers for me since those sets aren't out yet. I wish they would say something about it.

yeah does seem kinda odd they're delayed so long, you'd think they'd wanna get those out fast. unfortunately I;d be betting on them coming out in oct with Liber imperialis.

If the previous HH release was anything to go by, it's possible that we will see another bigger drop soon, with Deimos Predator, Land Reaider Proteus and both Heavy weapon boxes dropping simultaneously. Timing of such a drop within the monthly cycle would be similar to the last one.

oh yeah, i totally forgot that we should've had AC's as of now.

i like AC's.

If I was going to bet we'll get the predator and one of the HW packs in sept and the land raider and other heavy weapons in Oct or vice versa

Still waiting for the North American release for Liber Mechanicum. About time for the next PDF as well.

I’m hoping for some kind of Assault infantry and the Deredeo by Christmas.

Deredeo is unlikely IMHO. chances are we've seen all of this years kits, if we get anything beyond what we've seen it'll be something "easily hidden" like infantry upgrades

that said I bet 2023 is gonna see new stuff.

I dunno man. Dreadnoughts are always popular, and it’s just the Deredeo to go. And we’ve three months of release window to go. Well. Three and a bit.

Maybe but I think we'd have seen leaks by now, my guess is the Deredeo is gonna be saved for next year, BECAUSE Dreads are popular, spread the releases out to make things like nice on your yearly review.

Also they can't just only release Dreadnoughts all the time.

Yeah, because that would make it a dreadful year..

The hell they can’t!

Hopefully we might even get the Furibundus in time.

Last year the Perry twins gave an interview and mentioned they still use 3-ups for plastic models, and yeah, they use Renedra for pantography.

Low key the best part of the new Contemptor kit is the bionic eye for the head. Initially I was a bit disappointed that one was pictured on the box but you could not make it, I was wrong.





But my favourite part of the HH releases is the nightmare drilling of guns and bolters that has appeared on the box of the retail boxes. The Kheres on the new Contemptor box and the Deimos Rhino ones are really bad. These may be visible on the GW website pics too.
