Sooo, not only HH writers didn't read lore and introduced storm shields, thunder hammers, and storm bolters centuries before they were actually invented, now we have totally not-mutilator that is somehow better than real ones despite millennia of work CSM put into them?

It's almost as if you were supposed to paint them on (or gouge them with knife if you really need dumb looking, unrealistic scars as scarred skin would be pretty much perfectly smooth at mini scale) wherever you want them instead of following sculptor's whims, eh?

Which is fine since it’s a generic head. Unlike the mk6 white scar head, that’s also not scarred…

I guess FW but sellers will have to hook me up so I dont buy expensive heads I’ll never use

Why guess when article flat out says?

*FW bit sellers

Indeed, I'd reckon a wisp of liquid putty would be enough to denote a more serious "scar", combined with appropriate paintjob that is.

*Wow, the paintjobs are SO BAD.
*What the actual feth are they doing, honestly. Anything besides marines just screams for faqs, some of the armies are still missing their rules, new players want their plastic troops, yet they say 'feth you, heads, random assassins and repacked "less for more money" dreads are more important to us"

Actually there were units already that had access to these things in HH1. For example, Salamanders had a Terminator variant that was TH/SS, and Imperial Fists had Storm Shields for a couple of units. Storm Bolters are really just Combi-Bolters too.

Soooooooo nobody cares about your complaining for the sake of complaining LOL

I like both bare heads and daemonic assassin.

Tell me you don't understand the concept of spacing out major releases without telling me you don't understand the concept of spacing out major releases.

But, but, resin releases will jam up production and release of plastic kits!!!1!

Like the Assasin, but I'd personally paint it differently (I like Tsagualsa's idea). Now, where exactly will we get the rules for it?

Bare heads? Not for my guys, except maybe as trophies hanging from their armour/vehicles......

I mean, to some extent I follow you but could we at least get militia/daemon rules? We have a handful of models, a legion HQ, and a RG RoW (please tell me if I missed one) which all rely on the Milita and Daemon PDFs to function, not to mention the armies in question themselves. They're PDFs, surely they can find time to slip one of those out instead of an Exemplary Battle.

It's funny isn't it, when you imagine something from reading the book, but then someone else has read the same and come up with a different vision! Its OK, perhaps a few unnecessary embellishments, and a bit of a lost opportunity to make something truly frightening?

Just when you thought there weren't any more head releases... BOOM!

More heads.

It’s been a few days but Undead_Love_Machine, I understand where you’re coming from but the logic doesn’t fully play out.

They do made-to-order runs on torsos for MK 3 and 4 armors even though those don’t work with the newest MK 6. They also, apparently, do that for terminator shoulder pads.

Further, they have no trouble doing made-to-order runs on very ancient metal minis. For 40K yes, but that’s due to perceived demand no matter what.

They also know there’s a lot of annoyed people who missed out on the special shoulder, leg and cod piece decorations.

To fulfill that demand, they can A) do the easiest thing which is made-to-order runs of the old legion dreads. Or B), made-to-order runs of these missing pieces redesigned to fit the plastic kit. Or C) introduce these extra upgrade bits later but permanently.

I mean, they used to also sell doors for 40K Rhinos. Heck each legion had one or two decorative front armor pieces for rhinos as well.

Since they’ve done shoulder pads and heads. These sorts of things are up next.

Depending on what this guys stat line looks like (and I'm guessing probably I5 and A3 or 4 base), Hammerblade is gonna be very good at removing dreads and terminators.

Hammerblade is going to be the option of choise against almost everything. Especially spineplash when is that worth it? Rakes at least might be used once in a while if you get surrounded by 5+ save guys

If it's a blade how is it a hammer?

Just received an email from FW:

Last Chance To Buy
This is your last chance to bolster your Warhammer: The Horus Heresy army with hulking resin Contemptor Dreadnoughts themed for each Legion. Check them out and get them while you can!

Removed - no slurs allowed.

I used to get them perfect for like £20 each, I have loads stashed away somewhere. Seemed to lose value after they released the plastic version but I suppose this announcement changes that slightly.

In no surprise to anyone, all Legion contemptors have gone Last Chance to Buy...

Gee, it's almost like there has been a significant lead time from an announcement of them being phased out and then being put into Last Chance to Buy.

Well there goes my wish for a Death Guard Leviathan, I reckon.

I do believe you vastly overestimate my painting and knifing skills. Though I suppose greenstuff is a viable option

Sicaran Venator has just disappeared. Read into that as you will…

MOAR TANKSES! TANKSES for my bunghole!

I love tanks, but this is getting a little tiresome.

Cults n Daemons when??? It's like the lowest hanging fruit, almost touching the ground where only a monomolecular filament could fit between.

Seemingly soon, as the first model has been previewed.

We don’t tend to get that level of preview much more than 3 months beforehand.
