Buyback Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Discuss that dreadnought! I like it but is a bit Ripley esque. I was thinking of a variant of a standard dred or a penitent engine combo, but to me it screams "We are more then meets the eye...." First "StormPigeon" and now this... . BTW, liked the old metal models storm bolters better... The ammo clips now look plain silly IMHO.

Bradskey Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Love the PAGK and Draigo. Bit disappointed with the dreadnought and Terminators though. The dread looks sort of, unsturdy? Plus I like the old terminators, these ones are thinned down a lot more.

Splinter Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Whilst theDreadknight is a bit.. iffy, it's still plastic which means when it comes out there'll be conversions gallor!

Gentlemanloser Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 My tohughts as posted in the other thread. The DreadKnight looks nice, and will be good for converting. The TAGK don't look anywhere near as good as the old Metal mins. The Storm Bolters on the PAGK look unsightly large (but this could be mitigated by the magazines being a seperate part), and the Tesla Coils/Warp Vanes of the Personal Teleporters look lame. I would have prefered a unique backpack to the usual SM one with some sticks...

bearden441 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I have to say i love them all, especially the dreadknight, all from a conversion standpoint. You could easily chop off the stormbolter magazine and do some conversions there as well as I will agree, it is quite large The teleporters can also be chopped off and have some conversions done to them. All in all, with some quick conversions, this will be an amazing looking army. The only thing i dont like is the price.... $33 for 5 PAGK..... are they crazy!!

RamrodMC Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 No need to cut anything off of the storm bolters, bearden. Look at the sprue pics in their product pages. The magazines in both the PAGK and GKT sets are separate from the storm bolters! GW actually did us converters a favour this time! EDIT:The price is supposed to represent the options included in the kit, I think. With that one kit, you can make one squad of five guys. But that one squad can be a troops choice, an elite choice, a fast attack choice or a heavy support choice.

hmk17 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The dreadknight looks LESS Gundam than the blurry photos let on. It still looks awkward to me. The Matrix 3/Avatar thing aside, it still just doesn't feel 40k.

RamrodMC Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Haha, no, I'm not happy about their price either, but knowing myself, I'll probably end up picking one box up at least to have as a "conversion bitz set" since I'm planning on running a Termie-only list.

BulldogUK Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Not too bad, not sure I am a fan of any of the plastics, all those pointy bits are just asking to be broken off! Much prefer the old metals which I will be keeping (not surprising as I have a bezillion of them)! I do like the DreadKnight, sort of feels a little different from most 40k dreads which I like as it adds to the Knights unique character, can be a little action figure for Gloria to play with too :lol: All in all, just pre-ordered the codex, DK and the boss dude so they are doing something right....will see how it goes and I might convert the DK into a more dynamic 'Kung Fu' sort of pose... Check out Scibor btw, just released a really nice new 'sci fi knight' it will be going into my army as a 'counts as' without a shadow of a doubt Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224357-new-models-revealed/#findComment-2682981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vindicatus Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Which dude on Scibor by the way? I can't seem to find this 'sci fi' dude you speak of. Then again, I haven't chugged a gallon and a half of coffee yet either.

stoopicus Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The PAGK look... about the same. The termies look... about the same. THIS IS NOT A BAD THING. The old models are fantastic. And it means I don't need to buy any more, win. I am definitely not buying Optimus Malleus though, for sure now. I just don't like it.

And it means I don't need to buy any more, win. I am definitely not buying Optimus Malleus though, for sure now. I just don't like it. I'm inclined to agree with the fact that they look very similar. I also agree with the fact that the magazines stuffed into the sides of the stormbolters looks positively retarded. I'm happy about being able to simply use my old and well-painted termies in such a case, and gives me a reason to pop off arms, do a little touch up work and magnetize them for the just-in-case on the additional weapons. I'll still likely get a few boxes of each, and I might get Draigo as a 'counts as', so I can write my own damned fluff about him.

Dilgar Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The dreadknight needs a conversion. The other releases look good :D Don´t glue the legs on, instead make a "shell" for his legs maybe up to his torso, the hands imo could be left as they are. This would actually make it more of an exoskeleton, instead of a robot, some guy in terminator armour steers while hangning infront of it like a penitent heretic, ready to be crushed (to meet his salvation) when it smashes into some tyranid monster.

- 7eAL - Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I am in despair. Those of us who don't like the new Terminators are probably concerned that the collar comes down too low, exposing a whole helmet that has too little slope from crest vent to the nose, and that the bodies are too thin. Personally I don't like the new psycannon and psilencer very much yet, though I expect they'll grow on me once I write other rules for them. One looks like a heavy bolter machine with storm bolter caliber ammunition in a box, and the other looks like a repeating grenade launcher, and I can't yet tell them apart. The chapter symbol on the left pauldron of the power armoured Grey Knights is distressingly small. It's neater, but I don't know what to do with all that empty space around that tiny little book - it would've been very nice to have engraving behind it or something. Draigo is finely detailed, but once again his collar comes down very low, so he seems to look even more hunchbacked than any ordinary Marine Terminator, and his little white goatee is intolerable. I can't take that face seriously. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224357-new-models-revealed/#findComment-2683271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
