Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The bare heads aren't great, and the Invictarii helmets look kinda terrible. It might be one of those things where they'll look better when painted, but right now, I'm not too impressed with the release.

Daemon2027 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The Invictarii torsos and helms may be useful for my Raven Guard with the avian style and symbology. In fact a bit of work e.g. using gs to change the head of the bird on some of the torsos and its a stylised RG symbol!

Freakiq Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Well, they look just like the artwork... Other than that they feel like a 3rd party kit to me, not sure why.

Stofficus Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Honestly, not a huge fan. But then I haven't been overly impressed with any of the conversion kits to be frank. Slapping a blinged helmet and torso on something just isn't all that exciting for me, especially at the price on offer. The whole units end up looking much better, more cohesive a look, and fits the more "gritty" mental image I have for the 31st millenium, only officers and the real "pride of the legion" have fancy, blingy armour, and even then only in certain legions (EC, Ultras, SoH, etc). The fluff blurb indicates these might be for actual Legion-specific units, but were I to do the XIII, I'd only use them for a Command Squad or maybe a Veteran squad. Granted, if these small additions didn't cost as much as a whole other 5 marines, or were sold more like the Iron Hands tactical sections as a whole variant unit which was totally cool and not massively more expensive than the base unit.

Ramell Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Well, I'm definitely getting the transfer sheet as soon as I can. Not sure on the armour sets. I like them, particularly the Praetor helmets, but I'll be using Mk II and III in my force, and they new sets are Mk IV based. Still, I'll probably get one of each when my budget can take it. I noticed something on the transfer sheet, and a picture out of the HH Weekender. It seems that the XIII uses two triangles pointing outwards for Tactical markings, rather than the arrow we know from 40k (and which several other legions have on their sheets).

Aqui Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 If I get the Invictarii kit, I'd paint the Sergeant face plate red rather than white Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307295-look-out-the-xiiith-are-here/#findComment-4034832 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 If I get the Invictarii kit, I'd paint the Sergeant face plate red rather than white But but the Legion made out that red was bad!

KJB Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Man they sure is purdy lookin... I'll be picking some up, but like Stofficus said, I'd rather they did a full set of 5 like the Iron Hands kit rather than me having to buy this then 2 sets of Maximus armour I think I'll mix them into normal squads rather than just have 1 bling squad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307295-look-out-the-xiiith-are-here/#findComment-4034840 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rendingon1+ Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Ultramarines just got transfer sheet. Great. They don't even have rules now (I know HH5 is near but still). What of: Night Lords, Iron Warriors, Salamanders and (most important) Alpha Legion? And proper HH era transfers for Raven Guard, Imperaial Fists nd Iron Hands. Seriously, I don't get it.

A good point; especially as in the painted photos of the IF command, it looks an awful lot like the banner is a transfer. Also in the latest blog there was a SoH command which also had a rather suspiciously fancy banner. I suspect they'll release them in bulk at some point, as they did get someone new to work specifically on transfers, did they not?

Ezeriel Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The Invictarii kit looks nice but I can't see myself ever using it. The Praetorian kit with a little work I think would look very nice on some of my Dusk Raiders.

infyrana Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 One or two of those torsos remind me if the IH ones. I don't mind the praetorian helms as they fit the look well, and the invictarii helms have potential if you can get past the face huggers. I reckon they put the set together to avoid people just buying the helms with plumes for their vets. But the lack of ten helmets from the by-the-book-marines is odd.

The Pounder Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Loving the Praetorian bitz, they'll definately be thrown in the mix!The Invictarii heads on the other hand don't do anything for me at all. They're like the Honour Guard's poor relation.

Yeah I get what you mean with being remeniscent of the the IH torsoes - I think it's a mixture of the layered design, recessed bolts & central divide on the Praetorian torsos - shave off the Ultramarine symbols, & you've got some perfect IH Mk IV Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307295-look-out-the-xiiith-are-here/#findComment-4034963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tharand Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I think both kits look good and are interesting to look at. The Invictarii kit reminds me so much of the Space Marine honor guards in 40k. I actually really like them. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307295-look-out-the-xiiith-are-here/#findComment-4034988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokkorex Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hmm, wouldn't the mk.8 heads (command squad company champion for example) from 40k fit in quite well among the Praetorian helmets?

Vazzy Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Huh...I'm of mixed feeling about this release. My army is predominantly mk III so it doesn't quite fit And to be honest the bits seem almost cheap. Like a third party knockoff maybe? I don't know. We'll see I guess.
