No it isn't, there are cuts with the inner suit bit on a bunch of basic gun hands.

Yes, there is a similar wrist configuration on the other assault weapons. The rivets really should have been on all the special/heavy weapons, as Mk3 are supposed to have them - they can simply be shaved off for Mk6.

From the main blurry pic? The double barrel doesn’t seem to be the standard issue?

Could be a side-by-side rather than over-under configuration. Or the today version is shorter ranged with multiple shots vs the blurry one being one shot but longer ranged.

Oi!

Oi you!

Why isn’t it Friday yet?

Finally caught up with the Kill Lupercal trailer. Now I am hoping that they are announcing a new AT Warlord kit with a gatling blaster, quake cannon, and Lucius head sprue. Maybe carapace vulcans since those were in the Exodite animation Warlords

Base plate for the honking great turret thing.

It still is the quintessential fail of the box.... And i like everything emplacement and artillery.

Also still no rules, which at this stage far more important.

Trust me, we'll be spammed for at least a month about why life isn't worth living without 3rd edition 30K.

Odd, my reddit feed spammed me the last 4 months on why life isn't worth living with a 3rd ed 30k.

Fr fr tho, you'll be spammed with whatever gets clicks. HH is the worst thing ever until it comes out, then it's the best thing ever until GW announces the next thing.

I enjoyed their fake rumours site for a while - including the damage control they did when the box art leaked. Now it seems pointless. Showing us pieces from the sprues (when we’ve already seen the models) doesn’t generate excitement; it’s just mildly annoying. They need to start some previewing of the rules changes, even if it’s just high level.

With the big reveal (presumably! Could still be something else but super low chance) on Friday, I’d imagine we’d start getting rules info starting next week, and will know if this is definitely New Edition, and not “we’ve tidied it all up and made some small changes”

Well they did a tidied up book for MESBG two years ago in Battle of Pelennor Fields and that wasn't marketed as a new edition.

They will be fully aware that "is this an actually new edition or just a tidied up 2.5?" is THE question of interest to most HH players. If they do not adress it in Fridays preview, I would consider it proper trolling of the community.

Seriously, there's a quilted cushion to paint behind a Saturnine's head ffs

No idea what that crescent is on the second pic

More closeup shots of sprues when we've already seen the models.. the hearsay marketing team got the wind blown out of them by those early pict leaks. Why bother at this point?

Might as well just can the whole site and wait for friday to roll along

You know a good many people will only look at the official site and don't lurk in forums/facebook/reddit

In the end its just teasers, don't overthink/worry about it.

lol they're taking design cues from Wilph, the circle turns

The "quilting" was also on the legion praetor with axe, and maybe on other models before? IDK.

They are not copying some random STLs

Amen. Just a bad take to say that theyre copying stl creators who themselves copied GW

Except that the same page that is posting these images already reposted some of the leaked images themselves earlier. So whoever sees these sprue snippets also saw the earlier leak

Just noticed the filename of the second pic:

stop-reading-image-file-names-there-are-no-clues-here.jpg

Genius 😂

The gakposting has been exquisite

But it was the box leak that saved it

As leak damage control the gakposting is hilarious

If, as GW intended, the gakposts were all we had and we didn't know about the box, it would have been the most frustrating spoiler campaign ever

2 days to go

Blackfang means the striated crescent on the top left.

Oh, *that* one.

Obviously it's a preview of the Necromunda/Mad Max crossover boomerang weapon for the Feral Kid.

I've been thinking about it, and besides balance updates, what I most want out of a clean-up edition of heresy is for them to bring back item lists. item lists just make things so much cleaner, so it's weird for HH to have gotten rid of them

oh, and more variant FOC charts, rather than just the one for everyone and every army (with one or two mediocre exceptions). i don't need it to be seventh edition-level, but a few faction-specific extras for more variation within armies would be nice

Or at least scalable FOCs. Things like the old days where for every 1000 points larger you added 2 Troop and one of each other slot to your core FOC. And maybe make a variety of Allied FOCs, so you could choose one major ally with more slots, or two or three separate allied forces with a more minimal selection of slots.
