I only got my Tempest book last Friday, I was pleasantly surprised that my Krieg army

still has life in it! I have all the key models to use Militia with my Ultramarines, even my

heavy artillery carriages! Though having to take panic tests is something I'll have to

get used to!

Thats more or less the point of that particular army list. Glad to see it actually works out :p

Guys, it's been Rumored (don't kill me if I'm wrong) that it will be a battle of phall box set, much like space hulk in its stylings... Soooo maybe zone mortalis? I don't know. But what that means is that it will have imperial fists terminators vs iron warriors in mk iv... Seems like a strange choice, but GW isn't known for their excellent decision-making. Again, just rumors. But awesome.

To be honest as long as they are unmarked they will make a fortune regardless. I think the only thing people are really worried about is if they screw around with the rules. Let's be honest 30k really needs to stay in the hands of Alan Bligh!

 

I will say right now if it has 10 Terminators and 30 marines in it as rumored I will be buying 2 boxes just to bulk out my legion to put me well over 100 marines! Assuming the price is good obviously..

It would make no sense to release armour with symbols already. Transfer sheets - yes, maybe extra bitz, but not the moulded symbols. But then again - it's GW we're talking about and they have a fairly rich history of doing things that make no sense. Let's have fingers crossed! 

Its generic in that: no Molded Iconography = Paint it into whatever Legion you want. The only thing that would be Legion Themed is the in-box Scenario if the rumors that its a Stand Alone box set game much like Space Hulk and Assassinorum.

 

 

I think it's wrong to assume that this sprue is the final iteration.

You have no idea how sprues are made, do you?
I think he meant that this isn't the only sprue to be seen :)
That, and would expect that there would be a test sprue. Would be very foolish to produce thousands of kits only to find they are flawed

 

Or does GW go balls lit and produce all the sprues at once?

 

The flaws will show up on the engineering docs.

Ah ok. Wasn't aware the software would pick that up.

 

Anyways I hope they are generic marines, that way buying a lot gives me double the troops I can use

 

 

I think what a few people were getting at as well, is that for GW to get to the point of a plastic sprue like that which has been pictured, means that there has been 10's (100's?) of thousands of dollars invested into the metal machined molds for the plastic sprue. You cant make one off trial sprues like that, unlike resin stuff which is relatively easy to make molds for but not dirt cheap to make models from, plastic is crazy cheap to make model from but the initial molds are VERY expensive.

My bad then. I made assumptions when I should not have. Apologies for any thread derailment
