Out of Stock - Marine Weapon Sets *UPDATE Nov 12th*

Recommended Posts

This actually really sucks, I just ordered the first 10 of my medusan immortals 3 days ago and was planning to pick up their volkite chargers today. Hopefully they have a plan, cause the only reason I got them was for choom.

Great now when I want build a model with a gun stowed on his back I gotta find a handle, cut it off, cut a stupid hand off another gun, stick a tiny handle on it, then stick gun on said model.

 

Gee FW my friggin big huge gorilla hands thank you soooo much.

 

Rant Over.

I for one don't like the recent trend of sculpting Marine hands onto the weapons. As Demus Ragnok said, it makes conversions with stowed weapons so much harder, and the handles are hardly difficult to remove, unlike hands. This kinda looks like exactly what I feared from plastic Heresy, GW-isms infecting FW sad.png.

I'm really glad they're redoing the Volkite chargers with the hands on! Consider the 2 alternatives:

 

1 - with the original Volkites, you had to remove the hands from some plastic bolters carefully, then glue them to the new plastic Marines and superglue the Volkites in place. Fiddly. Obviously this was easier with all the resin Marines, as you only had to remove the Volkite handles.

 

2 - with the new Volkites, you have to remove the hands from the resin Marines then glue the Volkites in place. And no work is required putting them on the plastic Marines at all. This is also magnet-friendly.

 

Seriously, the new Volkite chargers will be much easier to work with as a whole. And if FW do what everyone hopes they will, plastic Mk II and III will have no hands on them either. :)

I'm glad that I stocked up on all the weapons I could afford as they were released and learned how to reproduce them for my own personal use. I have the capability right now to equip any of my marines with whatever weapons and armor I see fit.

 

Aside from that, are you @Vaz from Heresy Online?

that guy wouldn't last 10 seconds on here, he would be banned before he knew it :D

Heh. All the homoerotic jokes every five posts would nuke this forum :P

 

So who's in what camp with this? Do we think there will be a plastic release set? Or just resetting the mold?

The way I read it is that FW will re-work the mold to have hands on the weapons and then restock with that.
