Plastic Ursurax?

I honestly can’t tell. Even now, if you put painted versions in front of me, I could tell plastic from resin for any of the Heresy stuff.

Edges of the turbine look a lot thinner to me.

There’s also no running pose legs - but that’s not exactly conclusive in itself.

I am confident plakky Ursarak are coming, as I don’t think anything not-Titan-sized is gonna remain resin for Mechanicum, given it’s such a small range.

But that doesn’t mean these are those. They could be of course. And my bloody getting some as soon as I can.

The shape of the face looks slightly different and there doesn't appear to be a little tooth-grill thing in the "mouth".
Also not sure on the how poseable the resin Ursurax are, but the ones in the picture don't match FW versions as far as I can tell.

You can see a join across the top of the turbines, which would also suggest that they are plastic.

Yesterday answered so many of our questions tho

Designing the Dark Mechanicum

The new article has two nice images that show the size of the new Dark Mech machines compared to titans and Mechanicum units:

Also this:

That isn't to say these machines will never appear at the Age of Darkness scale, but that's a long way off!

Sounds like we shouldn't expect them anytime soon even if the ones shown in images are full size models

Awww.

Behold the Martian Taghmatas fresh from our community painters' forges

Just give me the full sized flying potato pls

Spoiler:

Chrissie Orton with the flawless victory.

Other Thanatar, Karacnos and both Krios now showing as “sold out online” on the UK we store.

Could mean a solid second wave for Mechanicum.

Or maybe Forgeworld will get their act together and do big ass models again?

The running pose is the one all the way to the right, you can see the lifted leg.

Most notably, they're lacking the new shoulder pad additions the plastic Thallax have and the plastic Thallax kit is definitely set up to share the leg/shoulder pad sprue with the Ursurax.

It's there, it's just hard to see due to the darkness of the picture.

Hopefully the melee weapons are up for preorder this year..

Oh, and @Snrub, both the resin Thallax and Ursurax legs use un-keyed ball joints for the legs with the Ursurax including a number of non-flat feet.

I've seen that, didn't realize that came as part of the kit, just assumed it was a modeling hack done by individual builders

Nope, the threads are cast on and they were included both for ease of transport and for ability to swap loadouts.

Those bolts on my armourcast warhound are solid, and hold it together very well.

Like pinning, but hardcore.

So no Heresy Thursday?

Francesca Baerald posted nice images of her Siege of Terra maps on Twitter this morning - my guess is that Heresy Thursday is regarding that.

Or not…

Heresy Thursday may have been dislodged by the need to damage control the WarHammer Underworlds leaks...

That sounds like their problem rather than ours… Not being funny, I’m not sure why they even bought it back if they had 2 weeks of content before a colour scheme article and an empty week. (Reserving the right to foolishly calm down if it goes up at 5pm or something)

Obviously lost in the Warp.

And out of that 2 weeks of content I'm starting to think they delayed the melee weapons because they had feck all else planned for the end of the year.
Either that or they were gonna really drag out the mechanicum LI reveals.

Weak sauce.

It's 19:45 here in Germany. I give up. Such a heresy...
