Fire Golem Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I love that AL one. Probably a bit more blinged out than anything AL has any right to be but it looks bloody cool. Word Bearers one is cool too, wish there was a painted pic.

Slips Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Welp, my march of the Legions Dreadnought now looks like proper crap; more so than it already did compared to this beauty Sigismund, Sigismund, Sigismund, and Dorn, Sigismund!

I'd say I'm waiting for Alpharius but we have plenty of models for him already... Dorn? You mean 'Alternate Alpharius' surely?

Slips Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Dunno man, I don't think Alpharius could pull off the White Hair (potentially awesome mustache depending on artwork) and Gold Suit like Dorn and The Emperor (barring the White Hair part). More psyched for Sigismund since I'm actually fielding him in a Campaign and rightfully getting nervous apprehension from our opponents. Well, me and the entirety of the Templars Sub. OT: The Word Bearer contemptor is a bit lacking imo. Sure it has all the Cochlisian Runes/Writing but it doesn't scream "WORD BEARERS" as much as it does "GENERIC CHAOS" or "LIBRARIAN (if you shave off the Flame on the Torso and on the Book)". Still looks nice though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300312-forgeworld-new-stuff-121014/#findComment-3887541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_r_parker Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Love the Alpha Legion dread, one of the best Contemptors out there in my opinion. I think it's the combination of the Hydra iconography on the torso, and the unbroken chain sporadically across the rest of the chassis (including the one running down the helm). The Word Bearers one, well, I reserve my judgement until I see one painted well in the crimson colour scheme - I think it could be great, but I have never been a fan of all these runic symbols splattered across the WB series. As a really minor nitpick to Forgeworld, and I'm being a real obnoxious so-and-so for having to ask for this, but can we get pictures of models painted and unpainted? I really like the AL scheme that they've come up with, but would love to see some up-close shots of the hydra iconography without any paint on it (I want to see how crisp it is without paint). Equally, I appreciate seeing the WB dread without paint so that I can see the details, but would equally like to see how the finished product looks painted. Still no IF Wardens and Templar brothers, so I'm guessing my hybrid 30k/40k IF mega-purchase will have to wait until next year. Can't say my wallet isn't happy about that, maybe we'll be seeing them by the Weekender.

Fire Golem Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Dunno man, I don't think Alpharius could pull off the (potentially awesome mustache) You take that back. I'm sure he can grow just as magnificent a moustache as Dorn... Who am I kidding :( I agree with the WB Contemptor. But I don't know what I'd have done differently to be fair, runes and/or lots of paper is kinda their schtick.

Can't say my wallet isn't happy about that, maybe we'll be seeing them by the Weekender. ...We got a Contemptor at least... True (although I have a really pedantic, tiny, OCD-realted issue with that dread), but there are some things that are really preventing me from starting up. Shoulder pads being the major one - I still can't understand why FW don't just go out and do MkII - MkIV pads for all Legions right now, regardless of whether the Legion has been covered yet in a book. I can't be the only one who's thinking about doing a force and saying to themselves "I'll wait till the sculpted shoulder pads come out, they'll look so much better"? Especially for those Legions way down on the list (sorry White Scars, looking at you guys yet again - you really do get the short end of the stick at times), at least they can get some tactical guys done before Legion-specific units / upgrades come out. When those new unit upgrade packs and shoulder pads come out, FW is gonna get a huge order. Those Warden pieces look perfect for making 40k Command squads, Veterans, I'm even considering counts-as for Legion of the Damned. Tacticals in MkIII armour with the current upgrade kits (although maybe not the helms, never been sold on them to be honest) and maybe a splash of Templar bretheren parts in there for Sergeants. Anyway, back on topic - do we get another release before Xmas?

Balthamal Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 I think we'll get one next Friday but then be waiting until the new year for the next fix of resin crack. If I had to put money on anything, it will be Sevatar and/or the Templar upgrade set since that's pretty much all that's been previewed at WHF that haven't become available yet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300312-forgeworld-new-stuff-121014/#findComment-3887573 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, back on topic - do we get another release before Xmas? All of this... I've been waiting for these shoulder pads for over a year. Probably not as long as some, but long enough! I'm being bugged by my Mrs for a Christmas present list, and I don't really want to stick stuff on there that I don't really need or want! There's a good chance we're going to be moving out of London early-mid next year, so my 'Tiny Men Fund' will probably be suspended for a decent chunk of time, so I was really hoping we'd see the Warders at least Pre-Christmas, if nothing else. Sigh! I don't mean to whinge, but I also do. I want me some Yellow Space Marines. I reckon there will be another release next week, as that's the last shipping day for the UK before Christmas, so maybe we'll see some stuff then...

Might have to click down some, but, for me, it was part of the normal page (ridiculously high res monitor at work). I think this is ridiculously good looking too.

m_r_parker Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hmm, they weren't there before, FW must still be in the process of uploading pics. Maybe we'll see a painted WB Contemptor too.

The detail is as I had hoped, nice and crisp on those hydra scales, brilliant! Often the case that we start seeing things before they're done putting pics up, updating descriptions, what have you. It's one of the reasons I love FW. They're very obviously getting the word out about things as quickly as they can. Normally I see some new model and think, okay, good looking, but not really something I'm interested in. For some reason the Imperial Fists, and Alpha legion models we have so far, or have seen previews of, are both making me want to pull the trigger on a new army, well before I'm done with the current ones. This dread in particular really has me thinking, "alpha legion infiltrating terminators, sure, that sounds fun..."
