They said they’ll get digital rules. I’ve seen theories that it’s because 3rd edition is coming soon and they’ll have print rules from the start of that.

Loads of things get digital rules for HH when stuff gets made outside the release cycle, it's a shock when units get added in a book rather than a PDF.

i was wondering how they would make a 30k demon angron be distinct from the 40k model, but i think this one has much better posing. i also like how much more spikey the silhouette is

not familiar with the other character since ive still only read a few of the HH books, but i think it's cool to finally have a source for a female head with butchers nails. have been trying to find something to use for my conversions for ages (ideally would be able to find more than one, but i can at least use this for a praetor or something)

i know they said these are getting digital rules at some point, but it feels a bit weird for the new angron model to not make an appearance in a campaign book

She doesn't have the butcher's nails, it's just her hairstyle.

This coupled with her hair going grey by the time of the Siege(as shown by other art of her) is why the model looks like it has nails from that angle.

oh, that's disappointing, the search continues, i guess

**PondaNagura**

I dunno, feels like they could have crammed a little more surface details on the stone steps.
I really like it, though that'd be an intimidating paint project (not that I'll ever own one).

**Marshal Loss**

Mixed feelings on this - some bits I like, others I don't. Not one I'll ever purchase so will hold off on final judgement until I see one in person if ever.

Lotara is a bit odd though, not sure why she's waving around a sword like a madwoman when her most iconic moment calmly involved her shooting a World Eater in the face with her pistol.

**Snrub**

Nice to see one of the few (the only?) non-Astartes Legion character getting a model. Not completely sold on the pose though. She's a character who definitely would have benefited from a non-dynamic pose. Hands clasped behind her back, or pointing as if giving an order would have worked much more in her favour.
Also I think it's a huge missed opportunity to not have given her a really unique scenic base in the form of the conqueror's command helm.

Something akin to this commissar would have made for a great model.

**warboss**

That was my favorite non-hero Commissar as well.

I bought this one and the powerfist one, I wanted the Lord but left it too late and he went to finecast.

This. The 40k Angron is pure derp, shoulda been like this from the beginning IMHO

All in all, HH releases make 40K Imperial / Chaos look bad

Lotara Sarrin is an odd choice, seeing as she never leaves the Conqueror as far as I can remember, but love her nonetheless.

FIRE THE URSUS CLAWS!

Does give me hope we'll see more mortal characters at some point.

I looked her up. Turns out she's still there, 10,000 years later. Sorta.

It's funny, I was just telling my kid (who started playing his Necrons again) a week ago about how much I want an alt Angron sculpt from the 30K team. I really, really wanted to like the 40K version. Angron is my dude. But I just couldn't do it, so I put off buying the kit. Well, there it is and it's just what I wanted from the sculpt. It may never leave my house thanks to those wings, but it will be mine and I'm gonna love painting it.

**SamusDrake**

Nice sculpt but I wouldn't rate it over the 40K one as its represents a much earlier stage in the Primarch's transformation. Its more classical and human looking in it's detail and pose.

Sunday Preview – Get ready for the Black Library Celebration

Lots of stuff coming up for pre-order...

**Shadox**

That's a lot at once

A bumper week! And I need to pull my finger out and get painting before the Mechanicum toys land.

**MajorWesJanson**

Ouch, just as I was paying down my card. They couldn't have split them into mechanicum one release and marines another?

**Snord**

Those FW models will sell out instantly. I'm more interested in the Mechanicum tanks, although I might wait for them to be released separately.

£110 is £88 with 20% off - that seems pretty good.

Good job they appear to be standard line items, so should return.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Wonder if I can find someone to straight swap their Krios for my Karacnos?

I know the kits won’t be the same price, but I’d be getting a decent enough bargain on two of those sets I’m not sure I’d be bothered at a small, perceived, loss.

**JWBS**

I'd do that swap, I'm probably only getting one box though.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Fair! Well. Let me know

**Holokrates**

I recently got back into HH (again) and started a Mechanicum army. I regularly check the availability of some units in the Mechanicum category on the webstore as I want to get a Vultarax. At this point I've already been waiting for months now for it to come back in stock. This morning the Vultarax and Ursarax were displayed as “Sold Out Online” and after a quick browser refresh both disappeared from the webstore. Any chance they'll come back or get a plastic replacement soon?

Vultrarx was removed ages ago from the UK store. The Ursarax are also no surprise as they will likely share sprue and design parts with the already released plastic models. Considering we've seen them in plastic for AI there is every chance we'll see them in plastic for the 30K version of the game.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Are they coming to plastic? I’d say that’s a certainty.

When? I’ve honestly no idea.

**Overread**

I think we could confidently say "this year" right now. At least I would expect a strong chance of it so long as no major disasters happen to stall GW's release rate

**lord_blackfang**

Here's hoping! Plastic Vultarax sparks joy
