Dreamforge games released their not-titans which literally required assembly with screws (provided w the kit along with a small screwdriver) to hold it together

Place your bets, Folks, place your bets.

Tomorrow’s Heresy Thursday will be….

I reckon the rest of the Mechanicum range for LI, given the pic from yesterday’s article showed Krios and Karacnos.

I'm going with HH scale Krios and Karaknos reveal, since LI had last week.

I'm gonna side with Doc on this one...

Battle groups still available, even the Knight one - I don't think they're in a hurry. Own fault, though. Army rules aren`t great unless you spam some units and it sucks to root out all those special rules in different books.

What i expect from GW is a model for Camba Diaz because of his crucial role in the Martian Civil War and prominent featuring in the most recent book for HH.
Plus he needs a model so he can die at a spaceport during the siege of Terra.

Not into Horus Heresy, but the announcement of Household Guard would change my mind.

Buuuuuuut I know many of you are dying to hear the news of some very large model, so probably that big Dark-Mech walker you're all jealous of....

There is not even a chance todays reveal isn't Legions Imperialis. They have to show of everything that is in the book before others do with their reviews on Saturday and that means at least the Krios and Karacnos, maybe something else too

Rude!

Bloody hope that’s not it for today! I note the article does say “Heresy Thursday”. But even so, show us some sodding models.

It would be surprising if that was it today. Though I'm glad to finally have a colour plate for the Saturnyne Rams, as I don't think they've been properly covered before.

I think they did get a colour plate in Conquest but I'd have to check.

Edit: might have just been a colour image of their logo, not a full plate. My bad.

Not showing the Krios and Karacnos today after leaking them themselves earlier this week would be funny but I hope it doesn't come true

Just the Heresy-Thursday article we were all waiting for!

Clicking the "Heresy Thursday" tag doesn't actually bring up this article, nor does it bring up last week's Heresy Thursday

Remember when Forgeworld used to make big ass resin models of Titans and super heavy tanks. Ah...those were the days! Perhaps those days will come back when it's time for 28mm versions of those Dark Mechanicum machines?

Posted it in the LI threat, but thought I'd put it here too:

Second heresy article of the day, no obviously new models though as it's a fluff piece on the dark mechanicum. Think the thing about traitor Iron Hands is new?

Last picture has a mechanicum knight though, so maybe/hopefully a hint of them coming in plastic...? Guess it means we're not getting any proper previews today...

Well that’s a disappointment.

The background is nice to know, as the Dark Mechanicum haven’t really had much background outside of novels I’ve not read.

Horus-loyal Iron Hands is a new thing, even though a cadre of Sons of Horus Tech Marines would have worked just as well.

Probably meant to be Iron Warriors

Either way...I mean, Traitor Iron Hands are interesting (always cool to explore more about the traitors amongst the Loyalist Legions). But personally I was kinda hoping for a mention of Tech Marines rather than a specific Legion. The original background had the Tech Marines be a bit of an oddball amongst the Chapters/Legions since they were trained by the Mechanicus (Adeptus Mechanicus). It created a vibe as if the other Marines might view them with a bit of suspicion (are they loyal to the chapter/legion or mechanicus?).

Traitor Iron Hands would be less suspicious than Known Heretic Iron Warriors to be honest.

The best Heraldry of Honour since part 2.

If the fabricator general himself is a filthy heretic the allegiance of Regulus' enterage is a moot point probably best retconned like Skrulnik suggests into Iron Warriors.

I'd take Malika2's take over the GW writing staffs best efforts in a heartbeat.

Wording there suggests, at worst, Kelbor Hal was on the fence, and not fully in Horus’ pocket at that time. With the whole mission being to get him fully on side.

But Regulus is Horus's personal representative to the fabricator general - if they have an issue with some Iron Warriors they should also have an issue with Regulus himself.

Horus starts the allegiance with the FG by offering to hand over STC devices from the Auretian Technocracy.
Opening the Vault of Moravec is more like a proof of intent in deed.

Horus needed to prove to the FG that he actually could stand up to and overcome the Emperor - by opening the unopenable thing made unopenable by the Emperor he at least proves he is able to defy the big E.

That whole Magma City stuff is basically the background and part of the plot to the novel Mechanicum, and naturally explained in much detail there. Considering Kelbor-Hal, the tl:dr basically is that he doubts the (mainstream, but only slightly so) point of view that Big E is the Omnissiah, and fears for the independence of Mars (rightly so, more or less). He sees the locking/hiding/be-shenaniganning of the Vaults of Moravec as both a personal affront and an example of Big E hindering the sacred "quest for knowledge" of the Mechanicum (again, rightly so, because this knowledge is literally capital-E Evil). When Horus sends around Regulus with the promise to unlock it, Kelbor-Hal falls into line pretty much immediately, but for personal gain and his aforementioned reasons, not out of conviction that Horus is right.

Also there's literally an Iron Hands honour badge called the Eye of Vengeance used by those who fought with the Horus during the Crusade.

The Xth and XVIth were really close because they both fought at the forefront of the Crusade for years.

It wasn't for nothing that Horus believed Ferrus would join the rebellion.

It looks like rogue scrap-code from the Warhammer main site has infected the Community now too. I had to select my locale again today before it would let me look at anything, and I get a server error when I try to read the Heraldry article
