Dittoing their performance, Vorax may need a Cortex Controller to babysit them at times but they're so much more efficient, especially after gaining the Poisoned upgrade for their Rotor Cannons.

I can dig it, but I hope that head is easily replaced. Hate those little mohawks they give the helmless Terminators.

Edit: More interestingly than the model itself, could it be a harbinger of FW being stocked in stores? A naive hope maybe but one that really should have happened by now.

That's just Imperial aesthetics, the Kataphractii from B@C had that as well.

So what weapon options have we seen on the kits so far?

I've spotted Thunder Hammers Lightning Claws, Plasma Guns, Flamers, Plasma Pistols, Heavy Bolters and Legion Vexilla on the Mk3's so far, as well as Volkite Chargers, Power Swords, Combi-Bolters and Heavy Flamers on the Tartaros. Think I saw some variation on the SoS and Custodes as well.

Finished assembling my first BoP box and I treated myself to some FW goodies to go along with it, but now I'm stuck of where to go with my SoH.
At the moment I'm at:

Maloghurst
2 Praetors/Centurions/Consols
3 Veteran Tactical Squads
5 Reavers
Tartaros Squad
Contemptor w/Kheres

I obviously want to bulk out the Reavers and grab them a Dreadclaw as well as grab some Rhinos for the Vet squads but I'm not sure what else. More Reavers? Quad-launcher support? Sicarians? Sell a kidney and get a Mastodon?

Everything in Heresy looks fun but the points start racking up fast, list building's far harder than 40k for me.

Wait to get Reavers until they fix them. In the meantime get Justaerin, and if you hate yourself, a Dreadclaw.

Those Justaerin sure are tasty. What's the best game plan with them? The Power Axes I see them modelled with would surely waste Merciless Fighters, Lightning Claw them up or give Them Power/Chainfists for tank busting?

Supposedly it was supposed to be Bjorn, but one of the lore guys at Forge World pointed out it would be massively inconsistant with everything that's been written about Bjorn so far, and rather than retcon they invented this Geigor guy.
