The First Rites of Men Were Mortuary, the First Altars Tombs.



Ok so I'm working on my pseudo Capitol Imperialis and I'm looking at vehicle weapons to throw on top of it to make it look cooler.

Does anyone have any experience with the following bits?





Basically I just need to know the dimensions of the undersides of these bits and if they'll fit into the holes on the topside of the vehicle:

Graham McNeil showed up with his son for an impromptu book signing at my local GW store and honestly he was a pretty cool dude.

I don’t actually hate the guy, he seems nice, and I am a defender of Fulgrim, but his prose is very bad and his dialogue is actively painful.

The thing that stood out to me was how willing McNeil was to just sit around chatting lore with a bunch of sweaty hams during and after the signing. He was there for at least 3 and a half hours answering questions and talking about all sorts of inane 40K and Black Library poo poo.

Starting a World Eater army on the side and painted up a test model tonight, looking for some feedback on it. Is there anything that jumps out at you as needs improvement or changing before I start going full steam ahead on the rest of the army with this scheme? At a glance I think I need to push the red highlights higher at the extreme tips like on the wrists.

I'm not a pro painter or anything, but I really like plasma to pop more on the pistol there. Maybe a base coat of white with a lighter blue, then highlight on top of that?

My problem is I'm unsure of how big that hole on the Rhino is that the weapon sits in though since I don't own any official GW vehicles at all. Same with the Legion Sicaran.

Weird question, but for anyone else who's got a Warhammer+ subscription - are you getting charged $40 US for your "free" mini?

EDIT: I'm an idiot - last year, I happened to select the free mini; they aren't always free :rolleyes:

There's two minis, you get one for free and then the second one you get charged for.

Yeah I think on the future plasma pistols I'm just going to go back to my old formula of white base > watered down blue glaze in a couple layers > highlight white at the corners of the coils, I tried to save some time and use contrasts this time and it didn't work out as well.

I think that's from the photography, and how they arranged the models together. If you focus on the bases, the models on the bottom row are slightly scaled up compared to the ones above, and I think the middle row is also larger than the top row. I don't know why they'd arrange it that way, because it makes Belial look tiny compared to the regular terminators at the bottom, but if you compare the models across each row to each other, they're all pretty much the same height

their compositing for product images for box sets is terrible. They accidentally added in a squad of Kratos tanks into the imperialis one. Getting lazy about internal scales is par for the course.

I'm also shocked that it seems like they've painted 10 deathwing terminators instead of copy and pasting the same set of five.

They appear to have different bases which would suggest that's the case. But Peachy on the Painting Phase has mentioned the studio sometimes does "cheat" and will leave things like arms separate so they can be blue tacked with different loadouts for photography or paint only the visible side of a miniature. Also the big diorama shots sometimes are composited which would allow reusing a squad but that's almost more for the practical reason of getting full depth of field while shooting for detail.

You have to claim the free one via your warhammer account, both show as $40 in the shop because you can buy either of them depending on whatever one you're sent. I've never tried buying a second copy of one I already have.

If you're unable to pick your free model I'd contact their support, the first one is 100% free.

I have an unassembled Sicaran here somewhere. I’m not entirely sure if the plastic one is exactly the same dimensions as the resin stuff but I’m sure it’ll be close enough for your purposes.

When I get home from work I’ll see if I can find it and measure it for you.

bet you money dollars its either a std rhino 1/2 inch front hatch or a razorback+ 1 inch

hell you can take a helios launcher off a land raider and just stick it in the front hatch on a rhino

The Sicaran is close to the size of the Land Raider Proteus and just looking at the sprue pics I'd guess that the turret assembly is closer to the Razorback since you can stick one of the Rhino/vehicle hatch weapons on the back of the Sicaran turret.

Best part of Chaos sprues is that they have very little if any duplicated weapons. Every bolter is a slightly different model! Some of then are drum fed too!
