Dewi Sant Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Just ordered my copy of SH I must say the plastic Terminators look amazing. Shame that are covered head to toe in BA markings and I wont be able to use them in my army although this is good news for the BA and I can only hope the to get a codex of there own. Look at models just shows the amazing detailing GW are getting into there plastic minis. If the new Wolf Guard Terminators that have been rumoured look half as good as those I will be a very happy boy. Will any other SW player be getting one and do you think they would take much work conversion wise to field in a SW Army?

Forseti Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Are they 40k scale? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176146-space-hulk/#findComment-2081673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnars Claw Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I think so. And yep they look awesome. First thought was Wolf Guard but there is so much Blood Angel stuff on them it would be tough to convert them i think.

Forseti Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Well I think theres rumors of plastic WG in TDA so I'm waiting to see how they look before buying Space Hulk Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176146-space-hulk/#findComment-2081685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanyPrawny Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Just purchased my box :) now we play the waiting game... think i'll just use my wolves though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176146-space-hulk/#findComment-2081713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'll buy a copy because those poses are far too cool to let slip by, if we get TDA kit/sprues with such dynamic poses then thats good, if not it's going to be a long session with a file and some green-stuff Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176146-space-hulk/#findComment-2081719 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wookie2533 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 yeah but the other question is how much of that awesome detail will you lose in converting them Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176146-space-hulk/#findComment-2081727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Curses for being poor! I won't be able to afford a copy for a couple of weeks, by which time it will have likely sold out!

Dewi Sant Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 I don't think I've seen such dynamically posed minis from GW. There seems to be a lot different weapon combos in the set. LC, TH & SS and the Liberian looks mint. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176146-space-hulk/#findComment-2081773 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vassakov Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'll definitely get one, depending on how sales go at work I might get two, convert one set and do the other in BA colours for a proper SH set. More display models than gaming though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176146-space-hulk/#findComment-2081971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Guard Hengist Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I get the whole conversion things and all but:- A) We are very likely getting new Plastic TDA Wolf Guards in TDA etc B ) That thing is £60 and available in limited numbers, you are seriously considering butchering it?

Leonaides Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Well, look at it this way - if they can do that for SH terminators, just think what they might have achieved for your Wolf Guard - after all, tits the same guys making them with the same processes available to actually get the detail on the models.

Somehow I feel our moulds won't quite have the same dynamism, which is a shame. That dude pointing is so awesome along with the other guys. Whilst it would be nice to have dynamic terminators I don't want to take a chance, I would rather butcher some Blood Angels marines even though the sculpts are beautiful.

Wolf Guard Hengist Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Does anyone know if the scale is the same? I wouldnt put it past GW to make them smaller. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176146-space-hulk/#findComment-2082083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greese_m0nkey Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 from the pictures on GW site they look around the rite size, they also look like they are molded out of red plastic for the termies and blue for the nids.

Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I have preordered my copy and intend to not paint or glue the termies till after Codex Space Wolf and new wolf releases and then maybe make hybrid conversions from Space Hulk and Wolf Guard termies. Looks awesome - I still have a complete 2nd edition. It looks like the board sections are the same but with a little few extra colours and few new rooms. It is a bl00dy awesome set in every sense of the word! Mjol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176146-space-hulk/#findComment-2082261 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeslikethunder Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Does anyone know if the scale is the same? I wouldnt put it past GW to make them smaller. I was told at GW that they are a different scale, larger than normal IIRC Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176146-space-hulk/#findComment-2082268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forseti Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Honestly even though these minis are badass, I'd still rather have the SW termis, even if they look like the current FW conversion kit ones.. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/caledor/sws.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176146-space-hulk/#findComment-2082294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 The Space Hulk minis make the current range of all termies (including Forge World kits such as Wolf Guard) like they are standing at attention! I have the FW Wolf Guard guys which I have converted and I still cannot wait to get my hands on those Blood Angels and initiate them into a real legion - Space Wolves hooooooo! :) http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/P4210095.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/P4210092.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/P4210093.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/P4210096.jpg http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh132/Mjolnir81/P4210097.jpg Mjol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176146-space-hulk/#findComment-2082301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Cricket Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Nice. I'm debating whether or not I should do the same, except for my own chapter. That last model looks >9000, btw.

Vash113 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Well I think theres rumors of plastic WG in TDA so I'm waiting to see how they look before buying Space Hulk From what I can see it does say "while supplies last" so it looks like the rumours are true and this is going to be a limited release. Wait and you probably won't be able to get one. Ordered mine couple of hours ago,.......hav'nt you guys heard of razor blades ! The type(Gillette) your old dad stuck in his old razor.Careful use of these babies can easily remove details with very little damage.BE VERY CAREFUL,ONE SLIP AND IT'LL GO THRU YOUR SKIN LIKE A POWER SWORD! GOD bless ......................V I wouldn't recommend that, most of the details are very, VERY blood angels specific, to remove all the BA iconography would basically bring you back down to stock Terminators, not really worth it IMO. If you want cheap Termies get the Black Reach guys, I know I will be keeping these guys just as they are and maybe using them as the starting point of a Blood Angels army. Have you seen the sheer number of blood drop gems covering these guys from head to toe? Holy cow.

Quillen Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 can you imagine a post where he doesn't link those? I can't. I bought 3 box sets of the Space hulk set back in the days to beef up my nids and marines. They were on sell half price some where. I could not believe it and bought all 3.
