Really hope the Ferrus kit allows you to magnetize the head.

In terms of playstyle how do Iron Hands differ from Iron Warriors?

Just going off the WHC articles, Iron Hands get defensive bonuses while Iron Warriors get better bolters and are better at shooting big things like dreadnoughts and vehicles Honestly not even the WHC article makes Iron Hands sound cool, get hosed Ferrus

Iirc, Hands are more into vehicles and machines while Warriors are more into artillery and big booms. But in practice I think they play pretty similarly

I was looking into playing a vehicle focused faction but artillery also sounds fun. I might go for the Iron Hands since I could also run them in 40k but man everything I read about their primarch makes me hate him.

According to leaks, IH are more about being real tough, while IW are good at destroying vehicles (and dreads) and buildings. Both of the IW rites give some boosts to vehicles, but they're not really vehicle-focused ROWs.

The new BSF cultists are gonna be great once Militia books drops. Of course, going Wargame Atlantic would be cheaper, but their weapons lack the GW chonkiness and detail.

It’s a plastic thing. Yeah. Resin moulds are made of rubber, and can flex, so resin studded pauldrons can have perfectly hemispherical studs even if the pauldron is cast in one piece. But the stainless steel they use to cast styrene plastic for the plastic kits is rigid, and so’s the plastic, so both side of the clamshell mould have to separate cleanly with no undercutting. If you look at studded plastic pauldrons on the current tactical 40K kits or the old plastic mark IVs, you’ll see that the studs in the center of the pads are hemispherical, but as you get closer to the edge, they become pill-shaped, because the casting process can’t create a space between where the underside of the hemisphere would be and the outer curve of the pauldron. These studded pauldron are cast in two pieces so the studs can be hemispheres.

Okay I get it now, thank you for explaining! So this is the reason we have these elongated weird skulls on a few kits, like the Garden of Morr statue, or on one of the Empire greatsword legs I've just painted recently.

Once you know where to look, you can see all sorts of places on plastic kits where the need to avoid undercutting creates distortion in the sculpt. But GW is getting a lot more innovative with the way they sculpt and cast things to let them break complex shapes up into multiple parts to avoid the problem. Which is why old sprues look sensibly organized and new sprues look like chaos—designing an efficiently laid out sprue via CAD to enable maximum density of complex shapes broken up to avoid undercutting doesn’t let you put all the torsos next to each other in a line.

tbh making Dreads work like Wraithlords was one of those things I've been wanting since like 4th so woo. also means you don't need to deal with the weird corner-cases when dreads get immobilized.

Walkers as vehicles were almost universally terrible and were outshone by monstrous creatures at every turn. Turning them all into monstrous creatures is obviously the correct solution.

So what are the latest rumors on release date and final price? I was originally trying my hand at 3-D printing but after tech issues, and I returned it and said to myself I’m getting that Horus box set after seeing the preview today. I’m not actually a fan of these guys as the idea of professional mentoring in warhammer for hundreds of dollars is dumb, but they got the box set and did a video. https://youtu.be/8w_yI4rAt8k Marshal Prolapse fucked around with this message at 01:18 on May 22, 2022 |

Forgive me if this was in the OP and I missed it, but do we know if the Age of Darkness box is limited release, like I'll need to camp the site on preorder day, or are we going to be able to just buy it whenever?

I read somewhere official or maybe goonhammer that is NOT limited release and they're going to "keep it in stock".

During the Warhammerfest stream the presenters said it wasn’t going to be limited, and the intent seems to be to keep it as the default starter kit for the heresy for a long time. I don’t know if I buy it. Seems like an awful tragic thing for them to get wrong, if they got that wrong.

With the two boxes from the last edition they did a couple print runs and they were pretty widely available for about a year, I’d expect something similar.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was similar to Kill Team: pre-order that first weekend and you'll get a copy.
