Who had Art on their Heresy Thurday bingo card?

Well for me this is a non-release but I'm sure I'll be yelled at by at least 3 of the 7 people who will buy it.

Like, even for an art release it's bad. It's paper, in sleeves. What are you doing with it? If you're gonna frame them, why are you paying for a golden box? If you're keeping them in the box... why are you keeping prints in a box?

Hey we finally get some examples for the melee weapons as our HH Thursday:

Also not trying to throw shade but just surprised to see a paint job of this level in a showcase for a new product on WarCom

The BA power lance pose is atrocious, someone photoshop him rowing a boat.

Better than nowt, but would’ve preferred such examples back when it was first announced.

Description for the BA does offer context for the pose (about to blast off, swinging the spear into position).

Paintjob? I kinda like to see this. Not everyone is an ace painter, so to see a relatively basic Paintjob can be encouraging to the cack handed among us.

I wouldn't rule out that GW is happy to even have anything to sell as Heresy Thursday.

Its a shame they don't throw in a quick'n'dirty team skirmish mode for 30K. Certainly not "30K: Kill Team" but just an excuse for Loyalist and Traitor marines to have at each other with these fabulous melee weapons.

Shout out to the fan effort for Kill Team: Age of Darkness!

I'm guessing it's meant to go round the other way?.. definitely seems odd.

The the hands would be wrong.

It looks like it is supposed to be held stabbing downwards, maybe into a foe on the ground. Poor choice by the kit designers though, as very niche.

Yeah, but being a jump-pack marine he's probably going for a down-ward thrust on enemies below him.

Ah, Ninja'd.

It’s the usual mixed bag. The Space Woof is nice. It is kind of cool to see the level of modelling and painting that is more common on the actual tabletop.

OMG! LOL!!!

When you're fighting a battle on a gently-moving stream, in the middle of the Horus Heresy, Brothers Popeye and Russo are your men!

I'll take an army of those over a mass of grey. Painted is painted.

I would throw some shade, and a drybrush, then it would look as bad as mine

They release a melee weapons sprue, and no one does a World Eater?

The canoe paddle reference was the first thing i thought about when seeing the article.
Hats of for Kodos for the exelent boat edit.

All in all, the weapons looks really large. Not bad. Will be great for 40k flavour as well.

My reaction, then I realised if they knew what they were doing, it would be weird showing off a dude with a chainsword.

The spear is wonky, but luckily being a plastic kit it should be relatively easy to swap the two ends around. A little plastic cement and it should be reasonably durable.

I was a little surprised by how big the blade of the power axe looked in comparison to a marine, but I guess that's why they're unwieldy.

What I'd give for another art book the likes of HH Collected Visions, that was a genuinely good book that I still flip through for inspiration sometimes.

But now you can have them in a helpful placard version with book like carrying case without that messy and inconvenient book spine getting in the way.

The spear should also be fixable by just using different arms. Just take a pair that has the right one higher, maybe file of a bit so they line up with the hands if they don't do anyway and you have a spear that is held normally

It looks almost exactly like Fafnir Rann's power axes, which look fine on him because he's (1) a hero, and (2) slightly bigger than the standard Marines. I had already converted them to use with my Assault Marines, and I found that cutting down the length of the blade made them look better on a normal dude.

The placement of the hands on the spear does seem odd. I would have preferred a one-handed thunder hammer too.

But getting back to Horus Heresy banter, I'm going to go with just a new economical starter. I'd guess that the Iron Warriors and Salamander rumour would refer to another HH boardgame, if true.

Maybe a new box to replace Age of Darkness, with a paperback printing of the core rules with the FAQs/errata?

Thats what the current rumours are, a new box likely replacing Age of Darkness with Salamanders vs Iron Warriors. MK2 Marines, Praetors, Saturnine Terminators and Dreadnought (Whatever that type of Dreadnought is) and a gun emplacement.
The only thing we don't really know is what will happen to the rules. Is it just a new box, a reprinted core book with FAQs/errata, some rules changed for better balancing resulting in a 2.5 edition or a completely new 3.0 edition

Unless it is brand new, Dreadnought being the Deredeo with alternate weapons would make sense. And gun emplacement sounds like it could be a Rapier.

I could go a Magna Lascannon Deredeo for sure.

Not massively convinced I need the rest, but my inner magpie is stronk.
