does he have any specific Legion markings sculpted on, or is he suitably generic anyone can use him?

He's meant to be generic, but definitely fits the IF best

muuum can I have some Blade Guard veterans.

We have Blade guard at home...

This is the vibe I am getting from that 40k looking model, its the tabard.

Agree - he 'feels' Templar-y:

How about a MKIII pre-teaser? After all we already got the pre-pre-teaser with that artwork a while back

The open neck is perfect for big beards, so he is clearly SW related.

Is it artwork? I thought it was the actual models with a fancy background. Isn’t that what forgeworld does in their books?

Plastic malcador or disapointment.
And before people claim that that is more tanks, yes, but we are talking about solar auxilia not marines.

And one where it would make even more sense than Marines to do infantry first.

honestly when we got a spartan in the starter in AoD, i can see an box like command terrcio, 2 infantry tercios eg. 40-60 rifleman, malcador and if it comes in plastic the dracosn since it is based on the malcador chasis.

GW is prepping for next week, and the old MKIII kit has been delisted from the GW site. RiP to the best Space Marine kit.

We knew this was coming.

Deredeo's still up.

£27.50!

Every time I think about giving Forgeworld some more money...

Thanks for the heads-up. I thought there would still be plenty of time to get an extra box, but at least ebay had a few left.

Though I like how the new kit looks, it just isn't as brutal.

Deredeo! Deredeo! Deredeo!

Sing it with me, brothers!

Deredeo Figaro, Fantastico!

Happy I snagged enough old MK3 heads but I wish I'd grabbed some more of their unhanded chainswords

Since the old kit is completely gone now it will be interesting how they will do the Legion specific forgeworld kits that use the old MKIII as base such as the Templar Brethren.

I would be surprised if the new MKIII are different than the MKVI and have a split legs/torso so you won't be able to use the resin kits with the new kit.
The question is whether they redo the resin kits so they fit the new MKIII or they just throw out half the kit like with the Contemptors and only sell the arms now

So new mk3 is finally happening. I wonder how long until new mk4, or new Cataphractii and Tartaros Terminators?
But most importantly, is everyone ready for the Heresy reveals to be nothing but shoulder pads and heads for the next few months?

Don't forget the resin weapons for all Legions

NOOOOO

The old MKIII kit was the only known GW bits source for Umbra Bolter magazines I know of. Now I will never be able to build more than a single tac squad, I'll run out of spare mag accessories..

EDIT: Found a bunch of those mags bits on ebay and bought 30 - get em while they last!

I wouldn't expect too much. I guess it's either another Cerastus Knight variant (remember the leaked Acheron sprue, so that can't be far away) or the rumoured new box with MkIII and the Deredeo.

I've taken a quick look at that bit; if 3d printing isn't an option, are you familiar with Oyomaru? Because this looks like the ideal candidate for press-molding a bunch of copies using that (I've certainly reproduced far larger, more complex parts years ago). I'd recommend miliput rather than GS (just more malleable, works better for these purposes). Seeing how these things mount to the legs you could basically do a *one* sided Oyomaru mold and pressfit it straight onto the mini, in many cases.

They actually previewed the two other Knights, so they've acknowledged that they're coming.

I mean, at least it's new infantry rather than yet another tank. That's something to be happy about, right?

Deredeo is still in the shop

So it's probably not "the box"

Probably the pre-pre-announcement of Mk3 with one silhouette or if we are really lucky a rotation shot of one model and then 5 minutes of Troke having a stroke over how it's the best model ever

Yes to the latter, coupled with some swooning over how great they will look painted as Dark Angels. But we've already seen how the Mk.III Marines look, so none of this pre-pre-nonsense or silhouettes. If we see Mk.III Marines, we'll see the full models, possibly get some info on weapon upgrade sprues for them and in the Warhammer Community post there will be a couple of slides showing off the five poses. We're past the teaser of a teaser point.

MkIII confirmed to use the existing weapon kits. Called it.

Also, a number of rivetless bolter hands in the kit.

Battlegroup box with 30 MkIII, Proteus, Dorito, and Special Weapons sprue.
