Slips Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Why would there be 2 power fists for the PA guys... Unless the box makes 2 man Veteran Squads with a Delegatus? Lightning Claws. They're assembled FW style where you clue the actual claws to the top of Power Fists. Like so: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/legion-tartaros-special-weapons.jpg Even though this is a Tartaros Weapon set, the Mk IV picture had the claws already on the fists :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/4/#findComment-4129322 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyner Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 True but seemed a bit odd for GW - we have a few weapon options in the current tactical box but nothing as exotic as lightning claws.

Excessus Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Looks like combi components on the tactical sprue. Quite possible it can be combined with the cataphractii preator.

Fire Golem Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 True but seemed a bit odd for GW - we have a few weapon options in the current tactical box but nothing as exotic as lightning claws. I imagine it'll be a Tactical Squad/Veteran Tactical Squad box.

Marshal Rohr Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The Crusade List won't be the final form of the legion lists released by FW. We will see a heresy list that reflects the armies during the Age of Darkness. I wouldn't be surprised to see special weapons and heavy weapons making their way into tactical squads by that point.

OneOfOneThousand Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 My guess on these - and it is purely a guess is that what GW will do is release this as a variant Tactical Squad (and the character sprue as a plastic one like we've seen for most races now) and won't touch heresy rules. This achieves two things; 1. It allows Heresy players like us to get more for the money we have to spend, and allows us to really throw ourselves into the upgrade kits for the legions. Depending on price, I would detail up my tacticals with the FW upgrade torsos and helmets. As it stands, I won't discard expensive FW pieces for the upgrades as it makes everything way too expensive. 2. It bulks out sales of the older marks to anyone who is borderline on the heresy, or those who want some variety in their SM chapter force for 40k. My mate has a huge number of Blood Ravens - useless in the heresy (as he is a purist) but great to add some extra tacticals in MkIV for Badab War campaigns, aesthetic differences and just because he wants to. So you essentially get one kit that can be used by both 30k and 40k player bases with relatively little risk on GWs part. Of course, I could be completely wrong and this is either GWs step into the HH or a boxed game, either of which I'm fine with to be honest. If GW take over rules production then that's a shame - but I still have all the FW books to use regardless of their open attitude to list building (looking at you Age of Sigmar) This has to be a positive in order to get the Heresy player base expanding surely?

Jolemai Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Indeed. It's interesting that the sprues are a 40k Tactical loadout, yet aimed at the 30k market. So the boxset may well have a compromise in the rules.

Hexagon Sun Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'm assuming it's because they can double as vet squads. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/4/#findComment-4129404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredknight Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Could they be looking at doing the scouring times? I'm not sure what part fw covers to, is it the battle of terra? The load out could suggest codex enforcement.

Daemon2027 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Yeah maybe this isn't 30/40k, it's age of sigmar, troops of the II legion of one know only as the Emperor, pulled from their galaxy by the events of the end time now fighting to bring the Truth to the realms.

Spagunk Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I wonder if they are going to a box for each mark or just for a couple. Definitely would mesh well with the torso only kits FW provides and the upgrade sprues they just released.

LutherMax Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I would guess MKII, III and IV. Not sure if they'll do V and VI. I wonder if they'll do jet bikes, outrider bikes and things like Sicarans?!

Jolemai Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Unlikely in the extreme. At best, we'll get a plastic Contemptor. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/4/#findComment-4129538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 What's unlikely is that GW stops after Mk. IV Tacticals, Cataphractii, and a Contemptor. More will follow after this. It has to because GW is poised to make a fortune off this. I agree that they'll probably stay away from most vehicles, but I fully expect different armor marks, assault/ heavy support squads, command kits, and specialists in plastic. It would appear that GW is creating a new range. If they release Destroyers and Breachers in plastic my life is complete.

infyrana Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Nice, can't see the legs well though. I like the missile launcher design, the torsos and all the added knives etc. I think the only thing that could spoil it is the typical plastic kit posing versus the resin design (check the spread legs and typical horse riding stance pose). Let us hope for a decent price that won't see me debating over which is cheaper - a titan or pack of five new marines. Can't wait to see how they match up to the resin marines for compatibility!

Olis Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 There is one thing that I'm thinking of that is stopping me from getting as excited as everyone else about this, and that is price. Do we know what the price is likely to be for the tactical squad? If I was to ballpark the price, I'd guess £27.50 - £30. Now, granted it will (almost) certainly be cheaper than a FW squad of ten with Tigrus bolters (2x sets of 5 marines and 1x set of bolters runs to £58.50, not including extra gubbins) but will they put a premium on the set, making it more expensive than the current (£25) 40k tactical squad? Call me a cynic but I'll be surprised if they don't ask for just that little bit more. Regardless, yay for plastic Mk4. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/4/#findComment-4129608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Tharand Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I would not be shocked to see this box set as a limited release like the Deathstorm and Space Wolf boxes. I'd definitely pick up a box to augment my current legion sets.

So I guess it could be anywhere from 27 - to 50 pounds.
