Brother Nihm Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 For me, the Drake most likely. Reasons: I saw the early leak. I saw the followup scans from WD. I absolutely hated the design then. Still do. However, I do love the potential of a Chaos flyer and the general concept of a machine-daemon-CSM(or human) meld. The wing sections and engine cowl seems to be somewhat salvageable. I have made it my personal quest to convert it so that it no longer resembles a mechanical dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Well, there are many version of it allready in a converted form. I would say make the best out of it. I personally like the design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Saturday morning, 10.00 local time here in Sweden, I'll be buying: *Codes: Chaos Space Marines *Heldrake *Forge Fiend *Warpsmith *Champion *Raptors *Chaos Psychic Cards ...I would love to convert a drake too, mainly by using the fuselage of this: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4000...OS-FIGHTER.html ...but I have a tournament to go to just a bit after the release and I don't actually have the time for that! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biaz Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Almost definitely the Forgefiend, and then I'll sit and stare at the Warp Talons/Raptors entry while I build another Chaos Lord with gear from the new armoury, then buy a box of those guys and build them into whichever unit I like more.

Verythrax Draconis Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Basically the new Chose from DV and the Fiend/Heldrake. Those designs made me join the Chaos :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin .44 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Call me odd, but I'm picking up some possessed and normal CSM squads first. I haven't started a chaos army yet, although I've been wanting to for a while (primarily World Eaters with Forgeworld bits, but that idea died quick), so I'm coming up with my own CSM army (thread to follow soon). I might even throw in some Raptor/Warp Talons for awesomeness sake. So far, the whole Idea of my army is going to be that they are very heavily mutated Marines. I've painted enough normal power armor through my time in 40K, so something a little more than "spikey marines" is what I'm going for. Second on my list is a toss up between the forge/maulerfiend and the Heldrake. I kinda like the Fiend as is (just going to do a little customizing, if that), but the Heldrake.. here we go. The Heldrake as a model itself is not exactly great. It looks as though GW tried to make it smaller through having no tail and smashing down the wings for less storage space, but it has a LOT of potential, and is a dream come true for someone that likes to customize. I plan to add in some cabling on the tail, and try to twist the neck a little to make it a little more dragony (I just like dragons :D ), along with putting up the wings. But I have a feeling that the Heldrake is suffering from Stormtalon sydrome, where the picture angles screw it up six ways from Sunday, but when you actually see one in your hands, it looks pretty awesome. That's just my two cents, pence, rubels, rupies, what have you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Does the book itself count? Because I'll be picking that up a week after it comes out (cuz' thats when Mal gets paidz). After that, probably the next box I'll get is the cultists! What, they aren't releasing a cultist box in the first wave? Oh... Well, the next box I get will still probably be cultists, anyway. It'll just be longer until I buy them. It's all for the best really, I've got freaking tons of models to paint and/or repaint already, some of which will need to be reconverted to fit the new rules anyway. I'll pick up a couple boxes of the new raptors eventually, just to replace the metal raptors I have right now and don't care much for, but they're not a high priority for me. Actually, I've heard a couple people actually prefer the old metal models for some reason, maybe I can find someone willing to trade new for old.

Kizzdougs Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm not really sure. I can't decide between my Word Bearers and Iron Warriors... work on my chaos force has come to a halt because of my indecision. Either way I think I'll be getting some cultists though.

d@n Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 2x boxs of raptors and the champion for me. want be getting any of the dino bots. if the rules for them are any good i may get some of the cool forgeworld demon engines and use them as counts as.

Lord Ragnarok Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Depending on the rules, I'm thinking a couple of boxes of Raptors/Talons and some rhinos. I gave my unpainted rhinos to another army :D Maybe the Drake. ... Oh! and the champion and the sorceror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Daemon Forge Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I think the warpsmith & the Chaos Chaplain will both be the first models I buy from the new range. Just for me the Warpsmith my favrout model & just the amount of detail suit my image/way I see Iron Warriors/my own Chaos Marines. While Chaplain just look really cool. But after that, my aim to read the codex & then make my army list as I think I only got 12 days to get ready for Throne of Skulls October down in Nottingham Warhammer World. Once I done that my aim to buy what I will need for my Iron Warriors both any new kits/current kits & boxies I need for conversion. I will also need to look that a 1750pts list with my Iron Warriors as I have another tournament the week after the Throne of Skulls event :P I am looking forward to Saturday.

Hrvat Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Raptors and the Champion while prowling the e-bay for more cultists. I guess 140 of those will be enough to fill the troops section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clewz Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Raptors and the forgefiend. Might even invest in a finecast Ahriman as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornywingythingy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Just the dex for me, probably got enough stuff to formulate decent lists from anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 When I put in my pre-order for the 'dex, I likewise pre-ordered the Chosen Champ, Sorceror, psychic power cards, and a box of the new Raptors (of which I'll probably get a second the day-of). Other than that, none of the rest the of new model line particularly thrilled me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Sage Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Have yet to pre-order. Going to do that today I reckon. I will order codex and warpsmith and maybe raptors or mauler fiend (I want to USE the fiend more than the raptors in my Iron Warriors army, but those raptors are sexy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kythnos Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I guess first will be Fiend and a Sorcerer. My Iron Warriors warband will like themselves a huge beast to tear down walls and a Sorcerer seems like a good investment to try out all this new 6th edition psychic stuff. Plus the models look really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I pre-ordered a couple of boxes of Raptors, a Warpsmith, and a new Sorceror. Out of these, I think that I'll build/convert the Warpsmith first, as he seems to be the best time investment to get new stuff on the table, and in the short term, he'll probably fill the spot vacated by my Daemon Prince.

Deadman Wade Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Codex and battleforce for more regular marines and rhino - good old CSM box still looks better than any new stuff, there are no new models that look good enough for me to buy them, except maybe new aspiring champion.

Brother Ambroz Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I preordered the book and a box of raptors to use for conversions. The rest will wait until I've studied the codex in person. I'll probably end up getting a hellchicken, a few fiends and a warpsmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attomsk Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I really want two dragons and two forgefiends but that is quite a lot of money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoros Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Raptors and the CSM backpacks bitz pack. Because :): the current CSM box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammeron Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Fffffnnnggghhh...everything. Everything. I'll have the lot, thank you, shop keep! The vast, vast majority will be heavily converted to bring it in line with the general themes and aesthetic of my army, but yes; I have splurged on pre orders, and they shall be mine...

space wolf Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 more terminator legs. Truescaling takes a lot of those ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odsox Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Taking a lot on faith here (which is ridiculous, considering how fickle Chaos is): A) Convert my loyalist Landraider Redeemer into a Chaos Redeemer. Oh, I know we likely aren't going to get ANY customisation options but I so dearly want a Chaos Redeemer. Those Flamestorm cannons are just aching to be converted into screaming daemonic maws... maybe using Heldrake heads... ^_^ Enough gribbly bits and Reaper Autocannons to turn my ten loyalist Terminators into suitably 'orrible Chaos Terminators. C) The Raptors. I love Raptors. Always have. But the cost to effectiveness ratio in the current 'dex is just not worth it, especially when factoring in my fluff and giving them a Khorne Icon (30 points, yeesh!). Related to that: Taking the Warp Talon arms and Raptor heads and making a squad of lightning-clawed Chosen. D) Probably the Maulerfiend. I'd love to Khornify that beast. That and my two Helbrutes/Dreads should make for a suitable set of las-magnets to free up the rest of my force. E) Parts for a Chaos Vindicator, assuming they're still deadly as heck. Or parts for a Chaos Predator. I decided that a massive gun would compliment my close-combat army nicely. Od. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
