Are 8th edition starters shipping today, or is it tomorrow? The only date I see anywhere is June 17th for in-store buying.

New Nurgle tank (found this pic on Bolter & Chainsword, where they'd found it from somewhere else). This is a blow-up of a preview page on GW's site, where if you zoom in on the text you can see that it's called a "Plagueburst Crawler". Dunno why everything has to have a terrible name these days. I like the slug-like profile though. Must be interesting for GW's vehicle designers, having to stay inside the setting's current human vehicle design language (I mean, the sponsons on this one look like something from the Horus Heresy, which is fitting). Maybe one day they'll make a Leman Russ that doesn't look awful.

Another picture of slug tank has surfaced: Not sure what to think about the thingy above the dozer blade. Can't tell if that's a periscope or some tri-barrelled gun with no traversal. The whole thing is less stumpy that I thought, since you can see the treads extending beyond the beige plating. Looks pretty solid, though it'd be nice to see an all-around view.

a cock shaped fruit posted:Is this a lore thing? I have read me a bucketload of 40k lore and never saw anything specifically about purity seals, but I did always wonder. I really like the orange undersuit bits on this guy, and the metal plating on the legs as well! EDIT: I think the new dread would be much improved by leaving off the front plate so you can see the entire sarcophagus. I'm pretty sure I remember reading about someone talking to GW about this and them confirming that you can assemble it without the front plate.

Those Aggressors really need a pose beyond "lumbering forward with arms raised slightly". I think they'd look better if at least one had his guns up. They managed to get some good poses out of the Terminators, I don't see why these can't be as dynamic.

Also in the video: Typhus (?), a new character (the tallyman), and a terminator in the background. Actually, looking again, the background terminator has the same backpack hive thing as the talking character, so that might be a generic nurgle terminator rather than Typhus.

goose willis posted:How decent of a deal is this? 15 for 5 of the old Chaos terminators, I was thinking of paint stripping these and repainting them, they're metal models These guys seem to be missing their trophy racks (you can see the slots next to the shoulders where the racks would sit), so you'd need to improvise something to fill those gaps. Though looking again, it seems like they've stuck some modelling putty in there on some of them.

goose willis posted:Khorne Blood Warriors look loving fantastic as more tribal-looking Khorne Berzerkers, especially because the models are a couple of decades more recent than the ancient models we have right now I've seen some people (probably on Iron Sleet) convert the old Cairn Wraith into a creepy tech-priest character. The same would probably apply to the Banshee. At some indeterminate point in the future, I want to recreate this in plastic:

quote:The Tyger tank was first seen in the so-called “Two World War”. This conflict seems to have been notable for only featuring two planets – Terra and Venus – making it a relatively small skirmish. Like the MULE used by the Adeptus Mechanicus in days of yore, the Tyger is probably named after an animal of Old Earth, in this case, large, nine-legged insectoids from the Yndonesian Bloc, bred as beasts of war. One early tank commander, Wilhelm Swordsworth, allegedly wrote war poetry about the prowess of this vehicle, but alas only fragments remain. The Tyger was apparently a large battle tank for its time, but is several measures smaller than a Baneblade, indicating the primitive nature of early Terran technology.

Genghis Cohen posted:Judging by the flag, are you sure they aren't tiny space Canadians? Look great though, conversion kit works well. You're right that riding high is actually a lot closer to real life then all our warped sense of 40k aesthetics. If they ever redesign the Leman Russ, I hope they give it some kind of mechanically-plausible suspension. It's not like there aren't loads of inter-war tanks with appropriately bizarre designs to draw upon.

Waiting to get a better photography setup. That is a very handsome tank -- the chevrons on the little turrets look fantastic.

Another reference to an Ambull in that article. There was one mentioned in the October (?) White Dwarf, too. I wonder if they're teasing a model.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:Khorne talk; the Blood Pact, from Dan Abnett's Gaunt's Ghosts novels, are never specifically mentioned as being dedicated to Khorne, but are a great alternative to the "raving berserker" model of Khorne worship. They're brutal and viscous, but disciplined, with their structure deliberately modelled on the Imperial Guard, members of whom they sometimes subvert. Each member of the blood pact ritualistically scars their hands on the armour of their leader. Their specialists include snipers, infiltration teams, massed armour and warpcrafted weirdness. There's even a "blood witch" in one book who's basically a khornate sorcerer. Yeah, I like how Abnett drops occasional world-building details as to how the Blood Pact come from an entire (reasonably stable) interstellar civilisation which just happen to worship Khorne.

Somebody linked the twitter account for the guy responsible for the new terrain sets, and he's got some good posts. A lot more thought seems to have gone into those kits than I realised. https://twitter.com/RayDranfield/status/938860856351260672 https://twitter.com/RayDranfield/status/868443072262287360 Ghost of Babyhead fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Dec 9, 2017 |

Uroboros posted:Does the new codex explain how they even make new Custodes without the Emperor. Not that I noticed, but the codex (and fluff before this) has their arms/armour being made by sequestered machinist clans who've been living in the palace for the last 10,000 years, so presumably they have equivalent groups dedicated to making new custodians.

If I'm interpreting those sprues right, it looks like four sprues for the mini-knight; three of them are the hull/body, the fourth is weapons. I wonder if that's been done to make it easier to package different knight variants (given that they call it an Armiger Warglaive, it assume there'll be an Armiger Somethingelse).

Titanicus, by Dan Abnett. He writes the Skitarii as roided-up techno-barbarians who are big on visual display, as mentioned above.

Ashcans posted:IG has kind of been built into a bind. Originally you would see a ton of different IG armies because they were all basically the same from a collecting perspective - metal infantry and specials kits - so you could collect whatever you like. Then GW released the plastic kits for Catachans and Cadians, and they became the easiest ones to collect because you could get them cheaper and not have the same metal squad duplicated over and over. So most IG armies slowly became Cadians and Catachans (mostly Cadians, I think) and then GW iceboxed the older sets so it wasn't even really possible to build an army for them. Maybe this would just disappoint everybody, but I think it would be interesting if they rebooted the original 2nd Edition (or Rogue Trader?) Imperial Guard designs (which are written as using Necromunda-pattern equipment, I think - the current Escher models use the same lasguns). They would need a redesign to look good, but I think there's a basis there for a new 'generic' IG kit.   Might want to lose the suicide bombers, I don't know.

Safety Factor posted:Szeras got a big upgrade over his original resin. Yeah that power armour is really good. I like that some of the design elements (the backpack, the cabling for the power fist) tie into existing 40K human technology, but the overall suit is its own thing. The purity seal on the shuriken gun is also a nice touch. Looks like that Necron is disintegrating a member of the Ecclesiarchy - his shoulder pad has the same finials as the preacher character in Blackstone Fortress.
