Barabbas Sogalon Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Might get that just for the raptora torso and the axes since I need a lot of them. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299271-fw-bulletin-40/#findComment-3862256 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 The helmets remind me of some of the chaos raptor ones. The long vents(?) low on the cheeks. Very nice pieces, either way.

Barabbas Sogalon Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I wish they one day could make a set of torsos with only raptoras and lightning bolts. That would make my life SO much easier.

m_r_parker Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Interesting that they've decided to show 2x laurelled fists for the pads, when the assembled squad from the Warhammer Fest pics show each member with 1 of those pads and a second with a pair of crossed axes on a shield in a laurel. Given that the built models in the Bulletin are the same as the squad shown at Warhammer Fest, I'm assuming the pieces haven't changed. Like that they're MkIV, as there's already a lot of IF MkIII love (especially with the Templar upgrade pack). I guess I'm dissappointed that they're upgrade packs and not full blown kits (like the Iron Hands tactical squad and others), as you need to buy a pack of MkIV to go with them and immediately not use the torsos, pads, weapons, and helms. Bearing in mind you only want legs, backpacks, and right arms (the left are provided for the shields) it feels a bit of a wasted opportunity not to include them and make them a full set. Lots of resin going into bitz boxes (hopefully not bins) not to be used. But, they'll sell in droves, as the MkIII Templar Bretheren will.

Marshal Loss Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Fantastic upgrade kit. This is the sort of thing they should have done for the Night Lords with their Terror Squads.

deathspectersgt7 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 So no Friday releases man was hoping they would have this out for pre-order by now. Drag your feet some more FW.

depthcharge12 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Actually I'm not a fan of this release, I just don't like the aesthetic and think that warder squads should have been armored in mkII or III. The helmets look goofy compared to the nice destroyer helmets. These helmets remind me of the fugly Enforcer helmets over on maxmini (need to check if they're the ones who made those) they look quite similar.

KBA Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 At first I was a little peeved these weren't full kits, but realized this is for the better as I hack away and heighten all my minis anyway -- something very hard to do with the recon set, or any set, where the torso and legs are one piece. Hoping the Raven Guard kits are the same. Even if it means I have to spend more.

Olis Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Been waiting on the shoulder pads for aaages.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I guess I'm disappointed that they're upgrade packs and not full blown kits (like the Iron Hands tactical squad and others), as you need to buy a pack of MkIV to go with them and immediately not use the torsos, pads, weapons, and helms. This. I think FW might be savvy enough to come around to his idea one day, but I fear they don't do it because then they will end up with a bunch of extra bits from pouring the molds and it's just a profit loss for them.

Don't they make each item on a per order basis though? If it doesn't sell well, atleast the would have made enough to cover the cost of the initial run.

Phalanx Warder Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I have been looking at the reinforced Destroyer Mk IV kit for some time as a possible mod for breachers as the reinforced armor seems like a good fit and a nice way to break up the Iron Armor. This all but guarantees I will incorporate this into my Warders, it will happen!

Gab Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I've switched my legion so many times, thought I'd finally settled on DG and then FW do this to me. Thanks FW, thanks a bunch!

Well, they're a Fast Attack option so I can see why they're equipped with the 'most advanced' suits of power armor that happen to also be the lightest barring Mk VI Corvus.
