The GW site mentioned a hint of something "big" for the next thing, any ideas?

Probably a tank. It feels like it's been a while since we got one of those.

Big-scale in this context appears to be “not Epic scale”.

So it could be a tank, but I don’t think it’s a specific hint that it a large model. Just 28mm or whatever it is there days.

Maybe some more AdMech resin... that'd be nice... since I need them to help out my Mechanicum Knights.

Come back next Thursday for another dose of big-scale heresy.

It literally mentions scale. Could be anything 28mm. Roadmap did mention more tanks tho, and they'll probably round out the Sicarans before moving to a new chassis.

I'm going with Krios/Karaknos, since they went with the surprise arvus and valdor for the preview event. Sicaran variants would be nice too. 3 left.

A little cheeky IMO talking about two praetors when it's actually functionally one praetor, with a highly-limited-availability alternative pose. Everyone I know IRL saw the banner on WHC and thought we were getting a PA/Termie duo release and ended up disappointed rather than being able to enjoy what is a pretty noice model.

WHC's loosey-goosey bantz bruv innit writing style has been scoring a few own-goals recently.

Yeah i expected a PA/Termie combo as well, I was really confused looking through the article and only saw the termie, took me a while to realize they were two different minis and not just an alternate build for the same kit

For anybody that cares Valrak dropped a comment over on B&C as an answer to

It’s time GW turned the FW Custodes line into plastic for heresy

which was

I did hear a spicy boxset rumour for 'War in the Webway'

Of course its just a comment and he didn't even do a usual rumour video yet so even more salt necessary than for a normal rumour but I just thought I'd share it here for anybody interested.

Even if its happening I wouldn't expect it too soon as he as said didn't even make a video about it yet meaning he isn't really sure the rumour could even be correct but Custodes would be the faction I expect next after Mechanicum and going by the rate how fast Mechanicum came after SA it wouldn't surprise me if we see Custodes in the middle of 2025

It's possible, but I would think Custodes, Daemon's of the ruinstorm, and / or Sisters of Silence come in 2026 or later. The large amount of resin kits disappearing from the GW store and the talk of fleshing out current ranges makes me think the only potential new Heresy range we'll get in 2025 is Dark Mechanicum, as the antagonist to the recently released Mechanicum.

Custodes seem like a pretty easy range to knock out in a box set + 1 wave. 1 Spartan sized transport, one sicaran sized tank, a rhino sized tank, one leviathan sized and one contemptor sized dreadnought kit. One set of weapon upgrades for shooty, melta and disintegrator halberds. Jump troop 3-5 man box, maybe aquillon terminators. Possibly the long jet bikes. Tribune as warlord character?

If they want to go full talons there is the sisters transport at land raider size, various weapon upgrades that could be part of the custodes weapon sprue or its own, if not a new Sisters kit.

A custodes battleforce could look something like 10 custodian guard + weapon upgrade sprue, contemptor kit, 3-5 man unit of winged boys, and transport. Then calladius tank, telemon dread, tribune, pallas, maybe aquillons as separate wave

sisters would be a project of its own for them, but as you say, a lot of this would be easy. in terms of kits:
- weapons sprue
- contemptor (can fit both weapon options in a single kit)
- big dread
- jump guys
- terminators (can fit all the weapon options in a single kit easily)
- jetbikes
- five vehicles (and tbh they can leave the lords of war as resin for a while longer as far as i care)

six kits (one of which is an upgrade sprue and one is mostly reusing an existing kit (contemptor)), and three vehicles. totally doable

Eschew the flesh once and for all with this kitted-out Iron Hands Legion Praetor

That, is a gorgeous model!

Early today. Also

Heresy þursday isn’t over just yet

Looking at the model itself, it'll be perfect for me to convert into a Sons of Medusa Character, Vayland Cal. I collect Imperial Armour era Forgeworld and am building up different Imperial Armour forces, so I'll be getting this fella!

Mother Fething Servo Spider!

I shall name him Drutt.

The Iron Hands Legion Praetor is made of Forge World resin, and will be available to order soon. Heresy Thursday isn’t over just yet, and we’ll have yet more to show you next week…

Full quote suggests it might just be referring to more next week. Could be implying more today though, but I’m not holding my breath.

Yea I think it means there will be one more Heresy Thursday (this year? or ever?) not more stuff today.

He's a cool dude, very Iron Handy, just not a fan of the power fist with the big palm and tiny fingers, looks a bit like he was stung by a bee.

I'd like to see him from behind. Not really sure what he has as a backpack and those cables under(?) his cape are interesting, too.

The silver rivets combined with the silver trim and silver scratches to the armour are just too much for me. It's like a visual version of white noise.

The unhelmeted head is very nice.

It's a nice model.

very very cool. seems like a blast to paint

Very nice model.

Looks like the world's easiest Iron Warrior conversion too - couple of hazard stripes and he'd fit right in

Arguably he looks snazier than the IW before, well atleast the weapon

unfortunately, you'd need to replace the grav pistol, which is one of the cooler things about the model

I feel like he’s a good base for a Praevian or Forge Lord for basically any legion too.

Lots of do-dads to shave off to turn him into anything other than an Iron Hands. Backpack cog/halo, chest and belt buckle symbols and the Iron Hand on the shoulder pad.

That being said, I'm not sure which head I like more as they both look good to me.

I wish 40k had models this nice.
