Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Torsos, arms, and bolters look good. Can't tell on the helms yet, but unless those squatty legs look fething amazing once some good pics are revealed, meh.

Dom_ Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I can definitely just see that the helms are FW style! woooo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/3/#findComment-4129113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Squatty leg poses can be converted much easier than the overly lean legs and arms of FW's Mk. IV kits. Â I'm all in. This is just what the doctor ordered. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/3/#findComment-4129119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Lol I wouldn't worry about losing the resin models. If they discontinue them, you can be dang sure all the recasters will be waiting for us with outstretched arms :D Â This is the one time I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. We've only heard about these models so far and maybe a dummy's guide to the heresy included with it. Â I mean GW is stupid, but not that stupid. I'm sure they analyzed the risks and rewards or else all their accountants would hemorrhage blood from every orifice. Â I know this is weird for me to say....but let's...let's give them a.....ch.... Â *throws up in mouth* Â Let's give them a chance.

Nusquam Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 GWs newest kits are brimming with detail and they're only getting better. So no worries from me there.

Relict Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 These would go great with the Ultramarines Legion upgrade kits.  Use FW resin to make the unique characters/units and use GW plastic to fill out those 20-man tactical squads...

Kierdale Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 On the character sprue: that's one PA and one TDA model? Â I'm not a 30k player (yet) so correct me if I'm wrong but I thought 30k 'tactical' squads (a different name too?) did not include special or heavy weapons and that those were in dedicated everyone-carries-the-same support/heavy weapon squads? I ask as that Mk.IV sprue looks a lot like a 40k tactical squad's load out...?

Plaguecaster Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I would love it if they did plastic breachers, though plastic HH stuff means I can finally start my word bearers army's spending more on specialised units from FW than the basic rank and file guys Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/3/#findComment-4129220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus set gives you the bits to go all tactical or veteran tactical. Â Also certain legion specific units like reavers, or headhunter kill teams can also have mixed kit. Â This kit would make a nice headhunter squad :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/3/#findComment-4129226 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Taelos Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I suspect to help justify the investment and to reduce risk, the Mk IV set has been designed to be totally compatible with 40k. There is nothing in there that can't be used in a 40k Tactical Squad. Which makes sense!

KJB Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'm very happy with this, just wish they had done it earlier, would have saved me thousands...  Pros: cheaper, easier to assemble, no need to spend hours cleaning/scrubbing, no need to spend hours on the phone to Forge World to get duff casts replaced  Cons: won't be as detailed as Forge World resin (Mk IV will be fine as it is clean and flat - MKs II & III will be a nightmare to do right!) Bolters have the right hand attached which annoys me deeply for some reason!

GrandMagnus Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Why do all tactical marines from GW come with that ridiculous squating pose. Its frustrating. I mean, if they can make those great looking assault marines with variable running/jumping/landing poses that give them so much action, why the :cuss cant they just do that for tactical marines! Not for all of them, but give us some options GW dammit.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Knife + GS can fix a lot of things.

Marshal Loss Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'm excited, but really worried that this will mean the beginning of the end of 30k as I know it (controlled by FW). Â If this works out, it will be fantastic. But I am cautious.
