Those Cyphers look like a good substitute for generic humanoid aliens for various games like 5 Parsecs etc.

Looks like there will be a new firefight starter of nightstalkers vs. asterians, and some new resin Asterians too.

I'm interested in both armies and already have some nightstalkers, being able to dual-use them for KoW too is quite appealing.

New plastic ones are not a revolution but welcomed.

I am waiting to test in some ways new Nightstalkers for Firefight, this game is great.

Funny. So they'll be better to model with (everyone hates resin...) but are essentially very similar looking. Kind of a silly example to show off!

I'd say that models being redone in a better material without looking out of place with the models already in peoples' collection is a really good example to show off, honestly.

I was really hoping they'd redesign these things to fit more with the marionettes. The lens heads are a much better look.

On the other hand, if they are HIPS, swapping the weapons onto Marionettes shouldn't be too challenging.

or just using other heads for the Cypher, as most of the 3rd party alternative heads out there fit the Mantic models

also good chance this kit will have melee and ranged weapons so there should be enough left for conversion trades

New concepts and renders from the last 2 updates

GCPS troops


FF Brokkrs


FF Sigrunn Dropship



FF Hlokk Atmospheric Fighter



GCPS Maul Battleship

Didn't we use to make fun of GW for flying bricks

we still do
but I have to say if they go for a landing craft/spaceship design or antigrav land-ship there is some potential here

yet the infantry is not good, not sure if it is the combination of 2 people with hands up + tactical rock or something else but this is the worst one for now

The forgefather dropship has been depicted in artwork for years, great to see it getting a miniature.

The infantry sculpts remind me a lot of the classic epic miniatures, so I'm happy with them.

anyone else think they should just use the ships from their Warpath universe setting document art for aesthetic guides and ideas?

take this pic for example, some that i suspect was meant to be an enforcer set of ships. they could set up the smaller craft in this pic as the"Drakon" that is the smaller warship of a Enforcer Strike Force, while the bigger ship (the one used as an example of a Mckinley drive ship in fact) as the Wyvern Heavy Cruiser. the Drakon could be your Enforcer super-heavy, with superheavy transport of the flyers and vehicles being the main focus. (after all, most Enforcer stuff has anti-grav, allowing their stuff to be para-dropped.)




and you have this superheavy gunship looking thing for the GCPS army (from pg120 of the setting PDF)

which gives me vibes of the Assault ship from Avatar, a fire support craft with limited transport. (probably the sort of dropship that GCPS detachments would use for entering Deadzones) i suspect this would make more sense for the GCPS armed forces than a hover naval battleship.
