“Squadrons of up to three Stormhammers at a time can be yours to command in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis. As part of the elite Solar Auxilia, these super-heavies were afforded intricate armour trim, and despite their diminutive size these new miniatures capture all of it down to the individual rivets. They’ll be available soon in resin.”
I do not recall reading that last sentence yesterday.

So if I'm totally clear on this, you can field up 3 resin stormhammers in a squadron, which will only be available to buy as a plastic kit of two models per set. If they even get released at all that is.
Couldn't be clearer.
I honestly think at this point they are weaponising incompetence with their marketing. Shove what ever junk pops in their heads to keep people riled up and talking about it as they ran out of real hype back in august. How else could this thread, amongst hundreds of other social media posts stay at the top of peoples feeds. 139 pages on this thread alone, for what amounts to about new 10 models total.
So its a plastic kit of 2 for something that can be fielded in units of 3, except it might actually be resin and not plastic at all, or resin conversion parts for a plastic kit.
Confusion level: extreme
Not all bothered by the mismatch in count to unit size. Provided I can field multiple units of them I'll be buying 3 boxes of them anyway so I can field 6, at least. Maybe more. Did I mention that the stormhammer is my favorite baneblade variant?

meah, at this point starting to lose interest in what would have been a must buy.
and no not because of whatever the models are in, but because the initial buzz has basically died. I've still got a chunk of 3d print Epic scale stuff here, dunno how bothered I am anymore though
Normally I would trust the WarCom guys more but the Facebook comment sounds like they deliberately asked about it and got that answer. Maybe whoever they asked thought they where talking about the baneblade? Thought that was meant to be four per box according to another facebook comment back when it was revealed.
Maybe it was meant this way: "Its a resin upgrade to the plastic Baneblades and you get parts for two Stormhammers" ?

The resin combo I mentioned on the last page, which I'd be more inclined to be on based on the comparison of the baneblade to the stormhammer and the different upper hull sections.
"Squadrons of up to three Stormhammers at a time can be yours to command in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis.

Now it says plastic.

After the kit that was first resin, but plastic (only on fridays) and later is an upgrade kit made from resin but also no, now it's plastic with metal incrustations, and then only plastic again...i think i need to see the damned sprue besides the pretty picture of the tank (wich by the way, is painted at a "meh" lvl by comparison to the 28 mm figures)so much

I will say, as entertaining as GW has been for the past few days, it'll be good to finally see Legions Imperialis out in the wild. Between the 40k launch and Legions delay the last half year has been pretty slow. It's time to move on.
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!
Why is the rum always gone?

It feels like I have waited since the end of time for New Epic. In any form.
The delay is of course frustrating, but I can handle it

Hardly surprising 1 box fills full squad anyway. You can't get blood stalkers in box of 15 anyway. Or necron warriors in box of 20.
What facebook group tells I ignore anyway. For real information I wait for preorder announcements. Before that whatever FB tells is worthless anyway.'
Resin, plastic. That itself doesn't bother me. Resin stopped bothering me the moment I learned existent of "super glue" instead of "plastic glue".
