What kind of Iron Warrior is going into battle without a helmet?

I wonder how close to this model one could get by kitbashing an Indomi pattern termie torso with the new HH Cataphractii shoulderpads..

It's not the worst 40K CSM model I've seen

They don't have to. Remember, they're also iron within.

Perturabo, for one.

One who welded the faceplate of his helmet on instead of hi actual face.

Is it just me or do those hazard stripes on the upgrade kit look like they've been painted by a half blind intern?

Really really like the warpsmitg and the upgrade kit. IW were never an army that interested me, but it seems like it could change fast if the rest of the releases is of that level

The rest of the releases are generic chaos space marine kits in theory, so that's all the iron warrioring they're putting out according to rumours. Much like the loyalist chapter releases, it'll be he upgrade sprue, character and a combat patrol. There just happens to be other units for everyone as well in the defiler and mutilators.

Latest Valrak video about the Ork half of the 11th edition box set:

Reiterated the inclusion of new Ork Boyz, referring to them for the first time (I think?) specifically as Goffs. Also a Runtherd and Gretchin, and finally a Wartrak, which he referenced with a GorkaMorka-era model.

I’m more and more convinced that the box he’s describing is an update of the classic 2nd Edition one ? I’m here for it!

I can only hope that the Wartrak will be a cardboard standee.

I would love to see Trakks come back. I could really use something in a modern scale for Gorkamorka.

One of his earlier rumours said that the box cover would be a callback to the 2nd edition artwork, with BA fighting orks.

Wonder if they'll have a captain/sergeant in the box with the classic bolter/power fist pose...

Then it would have a Dread, not a Trak.

Trying to do callbacks to Blanche's classics is risky business.

And wasn't there a BA Captain in the classic pose released relatively recently?

There was indeed. Finecast, but can’t recall exactly when.

Games Day 2012.

So not recently at all.

So the time is ripe for a modern primaris version.

Huron and his boys seem a lot worse at a glance than Titus+Wardens. Like they've got a decent amount of attacks and stuff, but the dog doesn't even have rules just a once-per-game chance at mortal wounds.

If it’s true that the 11th Edition box will be a callback to 2nd Edition, it would be a strange decision. Nostalgia for a 30 year old edition isn’t going to attract that many new players. Doing a proper overhaul of the Ork range (starting with the Boyz) may do it, however.

* Gestures vaguely in the direction of all the people buying TOW, HH, Necromunda, Blood Bowl, and other GW ranges based heavily on 90's teenage nostalgia *

My understanding is that its just an homage. Standard marines that will be painted red. Box art probably has a modern primaris looking recreation of the original art.

Among other Marine MTO next week?

Four of the classic Captains, to shown with the cloak backpack, and Armour Through The Ages.

I guess we get to look forward to seeing the new Defiler tomorrow?

I'm sort of interested in some of the classic space marines, but are they actually complete/accurate to how they were? I can't quite figure out whether or not those specific miniatures were meant to have a banner pole or which classic backpack or bolter pattern they would have originally had.

Like looking up the space wolf captain, i can see examples of some with a banner pole, but also some without?

Dark Angel and Blood Angel captain are original with the cloaked backpack. Space Wolve and Ultramarine had that too, but are shown with a new plastic backpack.

The Armour through the Ages marines don't have their original Rogue Trader backpack. Three of them were metal-plastic hybrid models, but don't have the arms/pauldrons/bolter from that time.

The armour through the ages looks like it doesn't have the original versions from back in rogue trader, but it seems they have what they had when they were available in the 2000s at least.

That MTO Terminator chaplain is GOAT material.

Well, yes. It's the same photo they used in the webstore.

I wonder if they are making him in metal or resin? The blurb for that sections is "Following them is a set of three metal and resin characters in Terminator armour – a Captain, Librarian, and Chaplain “

That chaplain was a frequent participant in the “what’s your favorite/best mini” threads. And for good reason.

Never picked him up when he was metal, was not going to when he was finecast. Sorry I missed him at the time, but not sure I will want to pay what they are asking for MTO, especially if he’s bundled.

This would be a neat M2O if all the models I want weren't bundled with ones I already have or don't want.
