The benefit here would be that I get to stand the beakie next to a plastic MkIII and a plastic MkIV, and that'll tell me exactly how much height I need to add to the latter two. Shipping a big box with Reiver-sized beakies and the current plastic Cataphractii might look odd, though. I hope at least the beakies are only the size of the current 40k CSMs and Deathwatch marines, which would put them at just a bit below the Primaris Phobos line and roughly in-scale with the Cataphractii. (This still leaves Tartaros Terminators really short, but enh, can't fix that.)

Another assessment over at B&C has the models as closer to chaos marine sized, which is in line with statements from the studio. So the creep is here, but its not as major as primaris.

 Saw this size comparison on Reddit, looks like the Mk6 is roughly the same size as the Mk4, and a bit bigger than the Mk3 manlets.

That image isn’t particularly accurate; Mk III marines are typically a little taller than Mk IV

 Judging by my own side-by-side comparisons, the MkIIIs are already taller than the MkIVs, although it's very slight and accentuated by the way the MkIIIs have their eye lenses set higher on their helmets than the MkIVs do. Judging by that image I'd say the MkVIs are going to be taller than either of them (this is more obvious if you look at the height of the collar in that composite image, although the composite image isn't entirely reliable given the way it misrepresents the comparative heights of the IIIs and IVs), but not as tall as Primaris.

Plastic MkVIs and a proper plastic Contemptor? gently caress yeah. Whenever I discuss height and truescaling in this context it's less "OMG GW fix your poo poo" and more "Planning how much work I'll need to do with plasticard to make that MkIV veteran squad look good next to the MkVI line troopers."

Yeah, for me its more about what I do with my older stuff. Will the creep make a big difference or do I need to address it so things don't look wacky down the road.

My Word Bearers will stay in Mk III & IV because they’re already in those armours, but I’ve got Emperors Children plans, and it’s very tempting to do some classic RT-style Ultras

The Mk6 perspective is tilted towards the camera in this comparison. The Mk III and IV are on a flatter plane and parallel to the surface their standing on. The Mk 6 looks like it's taller than it really is - it seems inline with the heights of the other plastic models.

If Tortuga Bay doesn't get whacked by Russians, it will be fairly easy to rebody my MKIIIs. Not gonna help the Calth characters, but I can just always yeet them or put then on a tactical rock.

The rumored contents: "Age of Darkness - The Horus Heresy" Launch Box: As known, the Box will have the following content: - 40 MkVI Marines - 10 Cataphract Terminators - 1 Spartan - 1 Contemptor Dreadnought - 1 Imperial Fist Castellan - 1 Sons of Horus / Trainer Praetor - "Age of Darkness" Rulebook - "Horus Heresy" Intro Booklet - "Battle for Heta-Gladius" Campaign Booklet - Other Stuff for new Players" Which, if true, is a stonking huge box.

If all that stuff is in it, it'll definitely be "value" by the numbers, just depends on if you can/want to drop all that money all at once.

Yeah if that's true, I'll become a MK VI believer and mix those guys with my already ordered MK III and IV guys I would also LOVE for it to have Imperial Fist, and not Ultramarines, as the Loyalist Here's hoping? Here's slight optimism???? I'll snatch up the pre-order if so

Death Guard or Iron Warriors, seeing as they were both given the armor to try out by Horus and they immediately called it trash.

Mango Polo posted:Death Guard or Iron Warriors, seeing as they were both given the armor to try out by Horus and they immediately called it trash. I mean, if there's been enough attrition from the war and they still have suits in stock, they might use it. I'd say it'd be odder to see Salamanders or Iron Hands, since unlike the Raven Guard they didn't get the Mk6 pre-heresy and got completely dumpstered at Istvaan, so they'd have no opportunity to resupply.

Optimal comedy outcome: GW fleshes out the remaining armor marks like II and V via things like plastic heavy weapon and destroyer squads, and we end up with modern, high-quality plastic space marine sculpts for every armor mark except VII.

Yvonmukluk posted:I mean, if there's been enough attrition from the war and they still have suits in stock, they might use it. There's a lore article in a recent White Dwarf that re-writes the lore around the Mark VI armor to say that by the end of the Heresy, all loyalist and traitor legions with any access to forge worlds were fielding Mark VI armor because all forge worlds are connected by an FTL internet, so any time any one of them develops new tech, all the other forge worlds steal it in short order. There's some stuff about virtual war in the noosphere surrounding it, but it came across to me as very clearly an explanation for why you can field any legion you want with the new plastic beakies.

I will probably paint a tester but I think Dearth Guard would look good in Mk.6 - otherwise I'm doing SoH and then throwing a couple into the sea of Mk.3 that is my Iron Warriors. e: That lore is way better than "Raven Guard had a secret stash  "

It wasn't so much that the Raven Guard had a secret stash as the XIX were testing pre-production models, and then when Corax went to Terra after surviving Istvaan V to petition the Emperor for tech to quickly repopulate the XIX, they gave him the first production run of the MkVI to take back to Deliverance with him (Now, the Alpha Legion. They had a secret stash.) Stephenls fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Mar 26, 2022 |

Fluff isn't real and will always be retconned to sell models GW thinks people will buy, so now everyone has loads of Mk 6 Beakie armour.

Yeah, that's why you can only engage with fluff only so much for any big... setting?... that has perverse incentives to change to sell models/a roster of book writers that tend to not care about it. I'd say that not having so corner-of-WD justification wouldn't be the worst thing in the world/wouldn't impact sales at all, but that's just me: buy first, justifications later.
