People have been asking for infantry models, so here some are.

I actually like both characters quite a bit, just dont play either Legion. If they made an Ultramarine...

I wonder if these Decurions will interact with the Armored Spearhead rite of battle.

Resin upgrade characters for the plastic kits could also go in other directions- a majority of legions have foot and terminator praetors (SW need a terminator, TS need a foot, Salamanders, Iron Hands, World Eaters, Iron Warriors, Raven Guard need both) but they could start making Praetor models that fit on the plastic Jetbikes

Glad to see the devs continuing to making vehicles utter garbage.

Or you know, fire 8 multi melta shots and 80 volkite shots with your predator squadron

Or you know, read what the rule actually says.

He'd get the volkite as they are defensive weapons and it says the unit which contains this model. A Predator Squadron is a unit, which contains the model. Is a predator the best place for a Character, probably not, but if he wants to.

It also says only the pintle weapons get double shots but what do I know.

You can pintle mount multi-meltas, so that's not bad.

Finally an assault cannon for my BA vehicles.

Ho boy. The Defensor's rules are outrageously terrible. If devs thought that was worth paying points for, we might as well call it quits now and only play with the stuff that's already out.

Considering the expense of the game, the slapdash and unpredictable quality of GW rules remains unreasonable. They either don't care about writing anything resembling acceptable rules, or their writers are so staggeringly stupid that they think they're doing a good job. I can't decide which would be worse.

Ignore!

So it does, but then the Multimeltas would get 8 shots. Or you'd use Heavy Bolters or for BA and IF Assault Cannons and you would have lots of shots in the reaction.

Ignore this post. Well, ignore it slightly more than normal.

Yeah my bad, apologies!

To be clear, infantry are soldiers that march and fight on foot. So, unless these dudes get out and both walk and battle next to their tanks, they ain't infantry.

Dragoons do more infantry stuff than these marines, and they ain't considered infantry either.

Cerebus and Venator on pre-order next week.

I think that’s the last of the previewed plastic?

Still got the Vindicator

Neato, I've been waiting for the Cerberus. Never wanted to deal with the resin kit but this I'll go for.

Ah yes! Of course.

Was browsing forgeworld, and noticed that I couldn't find any upgrade weapons for the terminators. I imagine they've been MIA for awhile now, but I wonder if we'll eventually get some plastic versions.

Speaking of FW, the Phoenix Spear set has the option to equip a terminator with one. Are the arms (not the hands) part of the standard plastic kit? I don't think the set comes with the arm bits, but I'm not sure that the hands can attach to anything in the plastic kit (and there aren't resin arms any more, if they ever even existed)

Here ye! Here ye! All you loyalist psyker fans.




Too bad that he is once again, MkVI.

Looks weird painted like a lemon, but the model looks decent. And the alt head actually looks pretty good.

Hope this is on sale at Warhammerfest

He's neat. I don't think we had a Mk6 libby before. He should get that stigmata looked at by an Apothecary.

That said, plastic assault marines, etc.

From the article:

Alas, this is the last we’ll see from Heresy Thursday for a short while, as Legions both Traitor and Loyalist take time to rest and replenish their forces. There’ll still be some major reveals to see at Warhammer Fest in just two weeks’ time, and Heresy Thursday will return to its regular slot later this year with more reveals for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy.

In the meantime, there’s an Exemplary Battles article coming very soon featuring a download of the much-anticipated Imperialis Militia army list, and a little further down the line is the full army list for the Daemons of the Ruinstorm.

I guess they got tired of facebook comments every Thursday being filled with requests for assault marines.

Maybe they should have released the bloody assault marines then!

Or every unit for now that are coming soon enough are out. They don't reveal too far ahead

Hey now let' not get kuh-ray-zee

My totally baseless hope: at Fest they say they're just putting HH on hold for the 40k reboot and reveal a new big box (with assault marines) that's coming in fall. I think that would be a healthy way to make people wait calmly, so obviously they won't do it.

Then they'll just get non-stop complaints about X unit not being released.

They should just release a roadmap for the game, like they do with other sidegames. Their 'Security by Obscurity' approach is totally anachronistic.

So Epic HH is coming and HH2.0 plastic allocations are all out for the time being.

That's it, I'm selling my HH rulebook.. oh wait, I already sold it when I got the epub versions!

Age of Darkness V2: Space Wolves vs World Eaters. 2 new plastic characters, 40 plastic Despoilers, 20 plastic Breachers, some sort of tank, and a CC Contemptor.

I quite like that model, though I do remain a bit baffled that marine characters are not getting plastic. Axe needs replacing with something a bit more interesting though.

I'm usually all for clean, uncluttered sculpts but that is one impressively boring model. Think it's probably just the pose.

I wonder what the upcoming Thursday ritual over at the Warhammer Community will be...

Titanicus Thursdays!

Is he? If he is, that's like Mk.VI+. It's so chunky. That armour is to Mk.VI what Gravis is to Mk.X.
