Terminus Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Eh, I actually like the regular Sanguinary guard models better. These would be great for representing Custodes or true-scale Minotaurs or something. I guess you could build a Deathwing formation and use these as "Sanguinary terminators" as someone mentioned above. I think they will look really strange next to the rest of the Space Marines range, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Well three meters is 9' 10 7/64" But I had always heard between 7 and 8 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStabby Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The unit box will be much better for conversions anyhow. It's not a snapfit kit, much more modular. I suspect we will be seeing all kinds of conversion spiffyness from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova_chron Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I've been eyeballing some as captains etc maybe I'll make the freebie into a chaplain seeing as I have none currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Last freebie I got was in another fantasy launch with a little dwarf and goblin, actually found them the other day. Had a good laugh at how for £80 you got a collectors edition with starter set of over 100 models, hardback rulebook, special shoulder bag and other stuff That's just a book now, barely! On topic though, may well pick up the box of liberators, or the flying ones when they are out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah I think the liberators box has some great looking weapons. The single-handed swords could make great relic blades or encarmine swords on marine models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudan Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I looked and held the miniatures today for a long time, trying to imagine conversion opportunities. Maybe the unit kits will be better. The snap fits in the starter box are a definite no. Great quality plastic, so-so aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian_F_H Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I've said it a million times but that model towering over marines in similar colors, just looks like the second or eleventh primarch to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Lord Relictor sprue (that's the "Chaplain wannabe" from the AoS box) Can't afford this, so here's my idea for you budding modellers: yes the main part of the model can be a Chaplain (pole Crozius?) but the part that interests me is the banner. The link shows the front and the image above shows the join and how easy it would be to remove. Now, can you imagine this banner replacing the front plate on a Death Company Dreadnought?

Grazcruzk Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 It's saying Epistolary Sarcophagus to me. The halo is almost the same as it stands. Set it into the torso a bit and get some wiring in there. I guess I'd have to see them together in person though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnorriSnorrison Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Other than the fact that I'm not sure whether to like or to despise what's become of good ol' WHFB, I'm not exactly sure how these guys would fit into our consisting armies. Their scale is very much off, all those weird scrolls flowing around them with the oversized rune-writing and the fact that they look too actually medieval for 40k is what will keep me from buying any of those for any of my armies. I mean plate armour, alright, cool and all that, but there's no tubing for cables, any lenses and/or blood drops, so converting them into Sang Guard will take heaps of time and effort, when you could've just bought an actual SangGuard kit. On the other side, the Khorne stuff looks rather nice and fits well into the existing line of chaos warriors for each system with a bit of green stuffing.

Charlo Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I'm very tempted by the set, especially as a Daemonkin army is always in the back of my mind... Those human dudes would make really cool bloodletters, or cultists with some guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
