The new version of the Tartaros upgrades for the plastic kit are great but uh kind of delayed. They re-did all of the resin weapon kits for the new power armour plastics really fast after the boxed sets released iirc?

It's not new. Both the Tartaros power axes and the Umbra-pattern bolters are old kits that disappeared during the first wave of Last Chance to Buy ForgeWorld discontinuations back in... 2018?

And now they're back!

A while back they mentioned doing a campaign of 3D scanning of the old pre-CAD masters used to make the silicon molds they use for resin minis -- the new White Scar hoverbikes are apparently built on a foundation of a 3D scan of the legion hoverbikes. Maybe this is the first fruit of that -- the ability to 3D print new masters whenever the old ones are damaged or wear out should let them more easily make new molds.

I know the bolters are just a re-issue but I'm pretty sure the axe kit is new and reworked for the plastic Tartaros vs the original resin Legion specific ones that had arms that ended at the wrist.

EDIT:

It even says it is in the product description.

Seen this kit before? You're not suffering from déjà vu – this set has been redesigned to work with your plastic Tartaros Terminators, available from the Games Workshop webstore.

Hi, 30k thread, I decided (after getting a deal on ebay) to take my first crack at a Night Lord/Primarch. I'm not great with taking pictures still and I think he looks a lot better in person, but here's my Night Haunter!

Don't worry about not being afflicted with Heresy brain worms that result in obscure useless knowledge about different generations of a kit that you can't buy any more for an extremely dead game. It isn't actually a very useful skill.

The new Orlock box finally has two Cyber Mastifs if anyone was looking for something to use in that one Sisters of Silence unit.

You may need to thin your paint just a little bit - or I'm just someone who hasn't seen a miniature that close.

Either way, looks nice.

FW selling actual good dice sets for every single legion to go along with book 9.

They're readable, have the symbols on the six, are nice to look at and come with a matching scatter.

Not sure how this is real.

Little bit disappointed that the Alpha Legion set isn't a mixed bag of every other legions' colours but with a hydra symbol.

I'm glad to see that the Imperial Fists get basic flat yellow dice like you'd find packed in a board game. Really suits the "mayo is spicy" ethos of the legion.

Nice Ragnarok! I'm not sure if I've seen one mounted Merkava on a Chimera turret before.

I will always maintain that Solars Aux are one of the best looking armies across all of 30/40k and I'm legitimately sorry the guy who did them for Forge World moved on to greener pastures (although I do understand that FW pays lovely, even by the standards of creatives salaries (which are never very good), and as such I'm happy for him).
