Scribe Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 The fact FW pushed back on 7th (seriously, look at the army building rules in HH5) gives me at least some hope. EDIT: I believe we will get a Dark Vengeance type set up. Basic rules, and stat lines. After that it will be 'For more, go to FW and buy this $150 book!'

Ishagu Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I tried to clean up the pictures with some Photoshopping, but there's enough potato and grain in them to feed most of Africa. No luck. I saw quite a clear image on FB. I can almost confirm the helmets are FW MKIV style, but the angle makes it quite tricky to really judge some pieces like the legs...

Ishagu Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 So how will this work. Some people will have the FW books and play by those rules, so will GW release a starter ruleset to accompany the FW rules? FW is going Mainstream. I expect the existing HH books to still be used.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I really hope this doesn't mean the end of the FW resin, like the sub-par, detail-less plastic versions of other GW stuff has done.

Dom_ Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Plastic rank and file and hopefully vehicles with the current resin upgrades and specials would be fantastic!! Don't you dare screw this up GW!

DuskRaider Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 The legs on these GW Mk. IV look like crap compared to FW. They've got that garbage squat to them that looks extremely unnatural.

Remus Ventanus. Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 My guess is this is how far GW will go with HH plastic. I think all they will produce are the standard armor sets, while FW will always produce the amazing resin character models, upgrade packs, ect that we love. The GW plastic will just give people easier access to basic units. I cant see them going much farther.

Ishagu Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Now, now, let's not get cynical. As for the legs being squatted, the angle of the sprue is making it look worse than it is.

GhostMalone Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Nope only the basics should be plastic everything else will lose detail be center cartoon and I'll walk.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Is being cynical the same as looking at previous examples of this very thing happening? Compare the FW Baneblade and Shadowsword to the GW versions, the Valkyrie, etc. Oh, wait... the FW Baneblade is gone forever - not even an Arkurian plastic/resin conversion. If they leave them separate and let the players choose which version they want to buy, then I'm all for it. If the plastics are going to start replacing the resin, that will be my darkest day in this hobby.

DuskRaider Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 It's not just the angle of the sprue, those Mk. IV legs have the same unnatural squat as GW's regular Marines. Compare them to FW's Mk. IV legs. I wouldn't mind plastic Legion-specific pads, though. Can't see how GW could screw those up... then again...
