The Pounder Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 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 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/9/#findComment-4136575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThtsTheJoke Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 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.

Ironwithout Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 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.. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/9/#findComment-4153993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesh Kadesh Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 The rules aren't exactly on point here either. They're barely functional. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/9/#findComment-4154007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironwithout Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Can't say I agree with you as I haven't had any issues. BUT... I have only been playing for about 4 weeks so I'll bow to your knowledge on that one Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/9/#findComment-4154008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus Ventanus. Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I read on BOLS that it may be a calth boxset or a phall boxset. The models in the sprues seem to lack any iconography, so is the boxset likely to come with transfers for which ever legions it turns out to contain?

ThtsTheJoke Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I've only seen it being phall, but calth would make more sense. Iron warriors are iconically mk III, but word bearers would be more to the aesthetic of mk IV and of course the smurfs as terminators.

LutherMax Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I really hope they don't have moulded iconography - I want to use them as BA! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/9/#findComment-4154059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus Ventanus. Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 The sprues look to be free of any symbols. It could just be a prototype sprue...but I don't think there will be any symbols Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311482-plastic-heresy-photos/page/9/#findComment-4154072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak1508 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 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!

Remus Ventanus. Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Im not even sure why they would bother making it about any 2 legions. I think just releasing a generic box would make the most sense. And if they were generous enough release transfers for all 18 legions.

Slips Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 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.

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?

DuskRaider Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 GW will keep them generic. People will buy multiple copies of the box to build a HH army. They won't want to pigeon hole people into only two Legions. They're dumb, but they're not that dumb.

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.
