I'd expect stuff that's in the Big Box to be some of the last things available separately to push people towards the bigger purchase - wouldn't be surprised if it's after the Leviathan, Sicaran, and Predator tanks have come out.

Randalor posted:I honestly keep getting the Iron Hands confused with the Iron Warriors. They're both Legions that have Iron names, they both focus on machines over people and becoming machines, except that Perterabo at least has his "gently caress you dad, I'm an athiest" aspect and the Iron Warriors have biomechanical horror as their design aspect. Iron Hands are cyborg horrors but they only get interesting in the 41st millennium

Sanguinary Guard breaks down for parts easily. Lots of people want the fancy backpacks with the wings, and they have a variety of decorative weapon options also useful for kitbashing.

Asked a friend who's a lot better at this than me, suggested "NIGHT TERROR", "SWEET DREAMS", and while not on theme, stealing from that one Dark Angel picture with "HAVE A NICE DAY" on the gun casing. Also, it may technically be 40K art, but now that I've gone through some old Warhammer stuff I need to figure out greenstuff so I can make this dude's helmet as a one-off Siege of Terra Night Lords model - could never paint him and do it justice, but trying to get better at the modeling side...  I actually briefly considered "let's do a Night Lords allied detachment", even painted a test model sans backpack that I have around here somewhere. Then the allies chart put a stop to that, lol.

I don't understand what's happening because I have the short ones and they look like the same ones that on the FW site. (Inexplicably still on 25mm bases.)

That looks like the unit champion - maybe he's bigger? I'll post a comparison when I get back home Sunday. This is super strange. The one I built was short and about as wide as he is tall, so I started converting them from other kits.

The basic dudes are definitely shorter than the champion, mostly due to their dynamic posing, but they're still a touch taller than Mk 3. I don't have any Mk 6 to compare them to unfortunately, but I imagine they're slightly shorter.

I've been using the Rubric kit to make Sergeants and Consuls. And stright up substituting Scarab Termies as Sekhmet. Also if you're running EC, you also have the option of the Salamanders as an allied detachment if you want some different loyalist chums down the line since they're also SB.

Yvonmukluk posted:I mean, Marines, like people, do have variation in height, and having the characters be a bit taller doesn't seem like it'd be that big a problem (as opposed to the reverse). It's mostly down to the posing. I'd be ambivalent if it was just the height, there's a point where the gap between the different proportions and bulk of the armour starts looking like humans in power armour on the lower end more than marines to my eye. purely a matter of aesthetic preference though agreed on Thousand Sons, very nice variety of options available for modelling them may end up doing some Salamanders down the line, part of what prompted wanting traitor IH is there's an obvious (to me anyway) hook for becoming EC-aligned traitors in taking a few more steps in their self hatred and deciding Fulgrim did them a favour by killing Manus - so landing on modifying to go above and beyond, vs. the loyalist's suppression of perceived weakness - and I'm kind of coming up blank for an angle I'd like for traitor Salamanders

I mean, given most people thought Vulkan also died on Istvaan V, you could have some guys who didn't get on board with the 'Vulkan Lives' movement and were just loving broken by the thought they lost their Primarch.
