Headhunters available from ForgeWorld

Really impressed with them when we saw photos from the various events - now that I've seen them in detail on the web I'm even more pleased with them. So much so that I may just get a pack to build up and figure out how to incorporate into a SoH or WB force.

I honestly think the shoulder pads are some of the most unique and impressive of all of the Legions, and whilst not everyone is sold on the helmets and torsos I really love the intricate scaleworm and the fang helms. The new style combi bolter is also great, and whilst you may not want to use them on a BS5 model that already has Preferred Enemy they're great additions to the bits box for other units.

As for the Cataphractii, I was really hoping they would do this. It twigged to me when building the B@C termies that you can't build the starting load out as there aren't enough Power Weapons or left arms suitable for a standard weapon - they're all either claws of power fist variants. Putting them into the packs is a solid move, I just hope they don't look too different from the plastic ones on the right hand. I just wished they included an extra Power Sword or two in the set. Then again, I was just happy to have plastic lightning claws, as I'd always have one finger claw snap in the resin sets guaranteed.

Now tell us what the schedule is for the Weekender already tongue.png

I like them, but really, really wish FW would dump the 'upgrade kit' idea and include the rest of the miniature.

 

In the same way, I was excited about the cataphractii arms for my Fulmentarus until I saw that the power mauls come in a pack of 2 mauls, 3 thunder hammers and some heavy weapons. I guess they'll stick with paying the points for Power Fists. Damn it, Forgeworld!

I see what people mean about the fangs, but I still pre-ordered them! Was hoping to see them released in time to use my free shipping voucher. :)

 

Won't be modelling them to be that static though. Some will be dual-wielding their combi-bolters with power daggers, and I'll throw a BaC heavy bolter in the squad. Need to decide how I do the Prime with a power fist & dagger too...

 

Oh, and Izzinatah, Fulmentarus can swap their power mauls for axes/swords for free! Not a problem for most people to scrounge up 5-10 power swords, or you can buy the new power axes...

I suppose that is one of the benefits to it being an upgrade kit - combine with any space marine legs you want, for more action-oriented poses! (I like this idea, so in the true vein of the Hydra, I'm stealing for use with my own Headhunters one day.)

It's the left arms that are the problem. Might grab some Power Axes though, good shout.

They remind me of something...

 

You bros remember the 90's Conan cartoon?

I didn't like their helmets as you might imagine from my other comment, but those shoulders though...daymn they are sexy!

WELLLLLL i am an idiot...... i have a free shipping voucher....and just placed an order with enough stuff to put me at about 270 pounds......completely usless shipping voucher...... Also i honestly think they look a bit off b/c of the BAC bits, its makes em look like the old snap together marines where all you did was snap the bolter on. oh yea andddd i ordered two sets of em laugh.png laugh.png laugh.png laugh.png

I like them.  I'll agree that the fangs are a bit out of place but maybe a different paint job would help that problem.  I also think they're suffering a bit from FW just slapping them on some Calth legs/arms and calling it a day.  I'm sure these guys can be spiced up with different leg/arm options.
