but i heard some very convincing arguments saying it wasn't vespids! how could "nuh uh" be wrong?

Clearly winged units that form part of the upcoming CODEX ZOATS!

Or or or huge winged warriors with multiple wings?



I mean its likely Vespids! Interesting that they get a video which might mean they are potentially more than 1 unit. So we might see a squad with one or two weapon options and a named hero character.

the rumor is for KT, so i wouldn't expect more than a single team for that... but in the same way that the kroot kill team was a prelude to the full range, maybe GW will have more in store

Oh man, I was chuckling at the Sanguinor and his silly T-posing at which point my girlfriend pointed out the old one also T-posed. Maybe in person they look better, but man both of them just look like someone dropped the asset in a videogame, ran out of time, and forgot to give it animations.

The Sanguinary Guard look ok, I prefer the old winged look by a lot, but outside the little wings they have pinned onto their jetpacks they look fine. Nothing amazing to write home about, but inoffensive. I kind of wonder what they'd look like with the old backpacks on them.

I actually like the look of the new Sanguinary Guard, but do not like the 3 for $60+ that they will be going for.
Sanguinor is OK, but doesn’t blow me away.
I don’t have BAs, but have always been in the cusp of buying them. Think Templars look better though and will stick with them.

New Sanguinary Guard are just worse than the old models. I like the spears, especially the banner spear, but that's about it. The spears are pretty close to actually being glaives too.

Sanguinor looks like a future version of Sigmarines Celestant Prime.

Something about the way the Sanguinor is holding the sword and chalice just seems to unenthusiastic compared to how the previous version was holding them.

The model itself is obviously higher quality, but overall it just seems like yet another copy that ends up looking a bit soulless and artificial.

Honestly if you asked a well-trained DALL-E equivalent to update the classic BA models for modern processes you'd probably get something like this release. They might even be playing around with something like that.

Having said that I kind of like the Guard, I find. I never liked the wings.

After all these years, the one thing that the Sanguinary could not Guard was their own nipples :(

Yeah, I like them without wings too. I also prefer swords version over spears.

They look fine? I suppose. I think it's the legs, same with Corteaz. They just look a bit naff.

New improved sanguinary guard! Now with

Fewer poses!
3 instead of 5 for some reason!
Fewer weapon options!
No wings!

Blood Angels are my main 40k army but I will be skipping those.

New Sanguinor is... fine, I guess? But as with the guard as an existing owner I see no need to get this new one. If they'd given him a dynamic pose instead I'd probably have bit.

I should mention that the 5000 points of deathwatch painted marines are waiting with baited breath to.see how deeply the new codex feths my army

My condolences.

These new models are so good I immediately went and ordered two boxes of the old ones from somewhere that had them in stock.

Talk about suck all of the character out of them.

SG are supposed to be the BA version of DW Knights.... these are, not good, and 3 to a box?

Not ornate at all.

Loss of the wings...

A pennant instead of a banner?

The heads and helmets....eesh

Sculpting talent clearly gone to AoS, Prosecutors would make better SG than these.

I've never played Blood Angels or had much interest in building an army and even I felt that compulsion.

Sanguninor's mask looks off to me, and I feel the same for the helmets for the Sanguinary Guard, 40k seems to be really hitting misses compared to AoS so far.

They're so plain and flat. Totally lack character.

I don't blame the sculptor at all, this is pure GW homogenizing their SM line.

They're basically Jump Pack Intercessors with some arm and head options you can probably get from the new upgrade sprue, just like the "new" Death Company.

Yeah, the Sanguinor is a complete disaster. What a horrible model with a silly pose and a lame way to make him "fly".

The guards are pretty nice, but the shrinking of their wings is ver very unfortunate

Those aren’t wings

The sanguinor actually has wings and those flaps as well

It’s just something primaris jump packs have. It’s nothing new

They've sculpted wings on to the surface of the jump pack aileron bits, I think that's what they're referring to.

Wow! Those are ass!

It's so nice that gene upgrade therapy is apparently available to warp entities.

Shame that Guard did not take the Rubicon and stay as stumpy, or stumpier, than Firstborn.

F in the chat for BA players.

I guess even the supernatural entities upgrade their equipment to l33t new Primaris gear...

It is odd how even to the elite of a first-founding chapter, Relic equipment no longer seems to mean anything and they'll just eagerly swap it out for mass-produced Primaris gear. Makes the whole reverence and historal importance side of the lore Space Marines used to have seem hollow in retrospective.

Maybe it's, like, a commentary on how people who claim conviction of belief will easily put it aside for the sake of convenience?

Or it's just corporate synergy.

GW Shills will tell you it's "Lore Accurate" because the all the SG, except 1, were killed during the Devastation of Baal. Therefore all their armor was lost as well. So they *had* to update to Primaris armor.

Because you know, not 1 single piece of that ultra-precious Artificer Armor was salvaged, scavenged, recovered, etc....

Not. One. Single. Piece.

Nids ate it all.

They didn't just swap out their relic armour; they broke it up and converted it to Mk.X

They're also in the same pose as 3 of the Jump Pack Intercessors.....

You could just get a new BA upgrade frame and some JP Intercessors.

Hell, buy the new Battleforce and paint those gold.

Ouch, Blood Angels got all the trainee sculpts this time around. First Dante and now these boys.

SG look like you ordered your Stormcast off Wish.

Sanguinor, like a lot of the named character primaris re-sculpts, lacks any sort of the grace or emotion of the original versions.

Not sure who was in charge of doing all the masks on all the BA guys this time around, but maybe move them onto something else.

Shame.
