Dark Legionnare Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yeah, I just got back from placing a pre-order at my local shop. $66 was kind of steep. But I can live with it. It'll be nice to have an actual base and model to deploy around and draw LOS from weapons so every time I play someone it doesn't turn into a "your proxy is silly, that's not how it would look" argument-fest. Still a little cornball looking, but now that I technically own and have one coming, I'm warming up to its aesthetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain sox Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The Librarian Dread is sweet! A great looking model! The Stormraven looks way better with the Assault Cannon on the turret. The picture with the 3 of them is what I have in mind! Can't wait now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 For some reason the Librarian dread just looks like a pile of poo to me...maybe it's the paintjob or something, but it's just not speaking to me. The death company and frag cannon parts look awesome though...it's like a super grenade launcher. Thump-thump-thump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RC71C FOXX Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The Dread kit looks fantastic :-) The DC dread there looks very powerful and I personally love the magna grapple, not so fond of the librarians force weapon though. The battleforce I think is a bit of a joke really, the total contents has a value of about £15-20 less than the Space Marine one, and yet it costs almost £10 more?!?!?! I would love to hear a reason for that that isnt just GW taking of advantage of a new product and pricing it out of line with current products. It does still provide a saving, but of only £22 compared to the space marine's £41.75. I am not very impressed with that price point, if it was the same price as the standard battleforce then I could forgive it, but I think that price is exploitative. Mini-rant over.

Losfer Werds Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Looks like you're we're getting a Rhino for $.25. The Battle force does seem a little lacking, but then I think of all the bits that come in the Death Company kit and it doesn't seem so bad.

IronKobra Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I am digging the 3D image...Good to show the model all around, but I also dont see any means of fitting a Dread to it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurrey Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Awesome SR looks much better in these pics, especially now we can get a sense of scale 10" square mm Air cav angels that's a hell of a lot of points for a pair of them to squeeze into a 2k list though. Dreadies are the business too! Shame I just bought two vens and don't really like shooty dreads. Would have been ace if the dread was an upgrade sprue but alas can't have everything you want eh ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Theophantus Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Classic GW pricing, less models for more cash. Still it'll be worth it to see the look on all the Templar's players faces when their battleforce is released and its 70 quid for a tac squad and a librarian in a very spacious box.......
